WILL GEORGE AND MGLYNN YET UNITEf
URGING A NATIONAL LABOR CONFERENCE OF



SINGLT-TAX MEN.
VIII the warning factions OF the United Labor party
represented respectively by Dr. McGlynn and Henry
George, unite after all There is TO think that
they may Evidence OF this Is furnished In The STAN
lard" this week, where under the head Of Call for
Conference" Mr.. George warmly ndorses proposition
made by Editor Samuel w. Williams. OF Indiana, urging
National conference convention OF all single
tax be held July 4. Mr. George holds that
while Mr.. Williams has authority than any
call conference, In view OF the absence Of
anything like National organization he has just
much authority anybody else"
And there is,n adds Mr.. George, something essen.
TALLY democratic In this straightforward individual action
that 1 like Mr.. Williams, It will be remembered was
the author resolution adopted at the little gathering
Of advocates OF the single held I'm Cincinnati last
Fourth Of July which requested John McMackn 10 call
National before October Of last year. Seeing
that MI McMackin has acted and that the Cincinnati
resolution likely be made the pretext for very
different kind Of call than It originally contemplated. Mr.
williams now steps forward himself and virtually suggests
10 those the single that they, by indl
yldua action appoint Warren Worth Bailey, Of Chi
cago committee to select place. make arrangements
and call conference the Fourth Of July next Mr..
Bailey will, think make just as good committee for
that purpose as Mr.. McMackn would have made, or as
larger selected In aDv other way
1t understood this assembly will be open all
clements Of the party, and the majority then decide to
take part the National contest there will be SUFFICIENT
time then Do Many friends Of Dr.. McGlynn In
favor Of the plan.
