SPRINGFIELD, MASS.

Our city is considered "conservative.n - as far as the labor movement is con cerned, and events transpire quietly and calmly. Several trades are organized here, and some of them thoroughly. having all their craftsmen in the fold :, but well as some trades are organized there IS but little life in organized labor here. As long as they are not aroused to special activity by some outrageous action of their bosses or of some black sheep of their own organization, there is little to be seen or heard of them. Thus it is that the local Federation of Trades only has five organizations, and the delegates of even these attend so poorly that there is often not quordm present. In view of these facts it was rather gratifying to notice a good gath erlng when few weeks ago the General Secretary of the Brotherhood of Car. penterS and Joiners, r. J. Mcclure, lectured here. He pointed out many obstacles in the way of the labor move ment. He endeavored to destroy the bugbears of communism and even an arChism; but he never said a word about the socialists, of whom he must have some knowledge, having been a member of the Socialist Party himself.
 But what Secretary Mcclure neglected to say about Socialists and Socialism was the better said few days later in the same hall by Prof T. II. Garsde, of Baltimore; and 1t was a pity that the hall was not more crowded to listen to the interesting and instructive remarks of the Professor, The meeting was an nounced at the previous meeting, hand bills were distributed. and all possible means exhausted to secure a large gath. ering, but our conservative" friends seemed too much afraid, and many of them went to the polo grounds. Even the clerk of the weather seemed bound to prevent our good citizens from falling into the hands of the "wlcked social ists," for the rain poured down in tor rents.
 OF course we shall try again. Several vain endeayors have been made to or ganize an American section here, and while there are several who sympathize with us, they still seem to be afraid to openly join our ranks. So we shall have to content ourselves with private agita- tion for while longer. This is after all the safest way to build up an organiza- tion, though it is slow, and the neglect of our German comrades here to master the English language is to some extent the cause of our slow growth F.

IMMORAL UNCONSTITUTIONAL : OUR "ACCESSoRYSHIP" LAWS. X Postscription to the Chicago An.
 archists' Case,
 BY ADOLF HEPNER, Editor of the St, Louis TAGEyLArT.
Continued.
BY ADOLF HEPNER,

(COntiMued.)
 Let us render truthful account of the cause.
 The Chicago anarchists differed from the political labor organizations not only in the matter of theory, but in their own tactics. While the other po- litiCal labor organizations preached his torlcal development, the Chicago anar- Chists held, as more revolutionary party that the workers should, by rapid action, assist historical development. Consequently the Chicago anarchists considered it necessary to hold them selves prepared for the time when a fav- orable opportunity for revolutionary ac- tion should present itself. This prepa- ration consisted in armament, in drill, :, and in procuring dyndmite.
 To be sure, there existed no plan look ing toward q certain time of action, but preparation was made lat large" to meet the time when the use of force dgdtnst force might seem advisable or necessary.
 Thus it happened that, on the 4th of May, 1SS6 when the police illegally set about dispensing tho meeting at the Haymarket, a person, unknown up to the present day, threw bomb at the police with well known effect, in ordrr to meet force with force.
 The perpetrator did not act upon the command of others, but independently.
 Not being able to find the bomb thrower, seven anarchists were arrested who had for some time advocated and defended the use of force against force, and had, presumably, also engaged in procuring dynamite.
 The prosecution was based upon a law which intiicts an equal penalty upon the intellectual originator with the perpe- trator of deed when the deed has been accomplished.
 This is in short outline a resume of the causes of the 1lth of November
 l said previously that the anti-anar- chist workingmen disavow the 4th of May, 1886; not because, forsooth, they object to the logic of the sentence, Force against force" but because they were opposed to anarchistic tactics gen orally, consisting of unnecessarily dlarnl- tng the enemy.

which has been the principal issue in the campaign which has just closed. Of course, Mir, Moulton took the socialist view of it, and advocated the absolute freedom of the schools from all sects and creeds, holding that the State has the first claim upon the children, the po- sition of the parents being but a secon- diary one; and as such they are not only entitled to the highest education, but also material support-clothing, food, lodging, etc., if necessary. An ani- mated discussion followed, The meet ings hereafter will be held in Grand Army Hall, corner Washington and Es- sex streets. every Sunday afternoon.

ROCHESTER,.

The socialists of Rochester thor oughly appreciated Prof. Garside s visit, and have already reaped re- suits in increased membership of the Party there. He spoke at the Clln- ton Opera House to an audience of over two hundred, who listened with deepest interest and rapt attention to his eloquent exposition of the new gospel. A WoKKMEN's ADvoCATg Club was organized with energetic members. In the evening Prof. Garside attended the Section meet ing and reused the members to re- newed action. So much so that a good comrade who had long prom lsed to write l letter to the editor of the ADVOCATE, did so. He closes his letter as follows
 "lt will interest the members of the Party and readers of the WORK MEN's ADVOCATE to hear the news of a new Section that has been started here. The very evening of the great fire here, at which about thirty five workmen perished in the flames, we organized a Sec tion of our Jewish comrades. This young Section Is prospering and

 cialism Acknowledged.

Prof. Garside arrived in New fork just in time to catch this number of the ADVOCATE going to press. He reports successful tour and is al- ready talking of his further journey to the great West. He left New York on the 18th of November, and has travelled nearly 9,000 miles, hay ing lectured at Providence, R. l., Boston, Lynn and Springfield, Mass, !, Albany, Syracuse and Rochester, N. '. Springfield and Boston were visited twice. The nucleus for an American Section was formed at Lynn, Providence, Syracuse and Rochester. Albany already has a charter as a result of the agitation there.
 The awaking of thought and in- qulry among thinking people fairly astonshed our lecturer. All that Is necessary, in his opinion, is contin- ued agressiveness. "My antipathy to socialism has vanished,' and like expressions came from individuals Tn several of the audiences.

Stormy weather interfered with the numerical success of our agita- tion meeting last Saturday, writes q comrade, but Prof. Garside held his little audience spell bound for up- ward of two hours. Both friends and opponents were well pleased with the lecture, which all agreed was the best they had ever heard. No reporters were present, and con- sequently the local papers had noth- ing to say about 1t.

THE PARIS CONGRESS.

From the Committee charged with calling the International Labor Congress to be held in Paris next August the following has been re- ceived for publication:
 HE INTERNATIONAL LABOR CON-
 GREss OF 1889.
 The National Committee of the Federation of Socialist Workmen of Paris has issued the following circu- lar to all labor organizations:
 C0nr0des-The International Con- ference held in Paris in 1886, at which England, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Sweden, Australia and France were represented, adopted the following resolution at their ses- sion of August 2S: "In the year 1888 there shall be held an Interna- tlonaI Congress, and the French Socialist Labor Party (F6deratjOn des trarallleUrS S0cj0}iSteS de Fraace) shall be intrusted with the organj- zatlon of this Congress. "
 The Congress recently held in London, at which delegates rom England, Holland, Belgium, Den mark, Italy and France were pres ent, endorsed above resolution at it's session of November 10, with the following unanimous decision: "The plan of international labor protec- tive legislation (rGQlementatj0n inter- n0ti0nale d~ tracaiO will be def nltely acted upon at the Interna- tlonal Congress to be held in Paris in 1889, in conformity with the de- clslon of the international confer ence of 1886.
 The National Committee of the French Socialist Labor Party has the honor to inform you that they have commenced arrangements for the calling and organization of the Congress, which promises to be of great importance.
 In conformity with the decision adopted at Paris and indorsed at London, with regard to the Congress of 1889, an international 0rganiza- tion will be created, the principles of which were voted upon at the London Congress at thelr session of November 9.
 The workers of the world cannot remain indifferent in view of this socialist call which has manifested itself in all nations.
 The organization which is to re- suit from the Congress of 1889 will, while it unites the scat tered social lstlc forces, considerably augment the power of Organized Labor and triumph of the rights of Labor; and will also, in the near future, destroy frontier differences which, although they may materially, do not morally divide us.
 We therefore invite you to attend the deliberations of the Congress.
 Circulars containing particulars as to organization and order of busi- ness will be issued later.
 You would greatly oblige us with an answer informing us if the char ac.er of your organization permits you to send representatives. With fraterna' greetings,

The Nationalist Club-The American
 Sections Agitation.

The gentlemen interested in the for nation of "nationaIist'' club met again last Saturday afternoon and took fur ther steps towards perfecting the details of the organization. A constitution embodying the principles of the $, L. r. wa S adopted Condensed it is as fol- lows:
 "The nation being the organization of the people, in other words a universal corporation, we believe that the advant- ages of the whole people, both collective l. and individually, can best be secured in employing the great forces developed by modern science and inventive skill directly through this corporation of the whole people, thus nationaIizing indus try and avoiding the enormous waste of competition on the one hand and the accumulation at the expense of the pub hC by comparatively few individuals on the other hand. This being the case, and the economic tendency of the age being toward general conditions favor able to these ends the object Of this club shall be to advocate this principle, and to promote its practical adoption by the people through bringing about popu- lar familiarlzation with the benetcent ideas on which it is based, and the en- cOuragement of national or local meas ures tending in that direction. Rec0g- nizing that success is only to be gained by securing the widest and most intelli- gent consideration of the subject, and den0uncing neither individuals nor classes, while endeavoring to effect a reform of the imperfect system that per mits the present unhappy conditions, we welcome the cooperation and sympathy of all thoughtful persons desiring to study this great problem, and believing Tn these means for attaining the end sought for"
 There was a notable gathering of men, all manifesting the deepest interest in the movement, which is agreed to be of the profoundest significance. Various prominent men and women have prom ised their support of the movement, which is general in its scope and inter ests all classes.

Let Mayor-elect Grant and his Board cf Street Openings sell the privilege of opening Elm street for rapid transit pur- poses to that corporation which makes the best offer for it.
 Yes, let us return to the good old Roman days when the empire was put up to the highest bidder, It IS true we have no PrHtorian Guard to act as auctioneers, but Tammany Hall will make a good substitute, and there will be no difficulty in finding a modern Julianus to fur nlsh the ready cash. But why stop at Elm street? It would be much better to keep right ou to the City Hall and Court House at the lower end and Central Park at the upper terminus. By all means let us put all the streets, parks, rivers, water works, etc., at public auction, and thus avoid the trouble aud expense of running municipal government, whose only use is to exact taxes from the people, in order to create franchises to give away to private sYndlcates.

ENGLISH SOCIALIST VOTE.
Annie Besant and stewart D. Head
 lam Elected.

ihHt LittlNu,
 The English socialist, organized as the Social Democratic Federation, have scored large increase in votes in the recent London School Board elections, They began their cam paign early and, without neglecting their other modes of agitation, made d gallant fight at the polls November 26. The total vote was 49,630 in the seven districts for which nomi- nations were made Tn London, be- sides a few thousand in Bolton and Birmingham. In 1885 the total vote ill London was S,532. Surely 6 handsome gain. The elected candi- dates ill London were Annie Besant and Rev. Stewart D. Headlam, editor of the ChHrch Rgormer, a Christian Socialist paper. Justice, the official organ of the English Social-Democ- racy, speaks of their election as fol- lows
 |" Annie Besant returned by a startling majority at the head of the poll for the Tower Hamlets, though she absolutely refused to modify her Social-Democratic programme one iota, or to lower the red flag one inch, i'll deference to the expostula- tions of her Liberal and Radical friends-that is indeed a glorious vic- tory, not only for one able, enthusi- astlc aud selt-sacr ticing comrade, but for the cause of Social Democ- racy throughout Great Britain and Europe It IS slap on the bloated face of reaction, the sound of which will ring through the civilized world. Remember that three years ago our comrade, Herbert Burrows, who has worked so hard for our victorious candidate of Monday, boiled but 4,232 votes. Annie Besant headed the poll with just l6,000. Those 16,OO0 votes were recorded in favor of free, compulsory and secular edu- cation with free meals at every school, not to mention the minor questions which our comrade will force on for discussion.
 Then there is Stewart Headlam in Hackney. Over l3,OO0 votes did he poll ill spite of all the bitter prejudice against him as a person not afraid to champion the teaching of the founder of his faith. He, too, goes to the School Board as a genuine Social Democrat, resolved that his belief of a kingdom of Heaven hereafter shall not interfere with his unfailing resolve to put an end to the infamous system which produces Hell upon earth.
 American Socialists will take cour- age from these events, and we con- graduate our English cousins upon the fact that they went into the eec- tions as Socialists and came out as Socialists, resolved to " fight it out on that line " in future.
