All OF these leaders represent the radical element
CT the union, who are more anxious to mafe po-
ltIcal NE Of the association than TO better the
condition OF the lAbotet 1ocially. They appear 10

and TO have differed most essentially III regard to
the mort cnectnal use OF their only political cap!-
tai. Three OF these leaders, Lebtuecht and
Btbel, as well II scnwelszer, are members Of Par
