Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1889-07-27

There are a thousand ways in which
the Socialist Labor Party could make
converts by raising municipal issues of
practical and immediate interest to the
people of every city, Take, for instance
the growth of New York and the tene-
ment house abomination. Why not de-
mand that the city itself become the
corporate owner of all the unoccupied
land within its boundaries for the pur-
pose, among others, of erecting COM
Portable houses for its population, to be
let at a rental sufficient to pay for re-
pairs, improvements, and municipal ad
ministration This can undoubtedly be
done upon the same socialistic principle
which was actually applied when the
city bought large tracts of land for park
purposes.

Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1889-07-27

A number of people, to whom it had
never before occurred that the world
was moving, suddenly found of late
that it ought to move. And now the
world must move according to their no
tons. Some preach anarchism, others
delight in land-taxism, and others again
ride various hobbies. All such-like will
hardly open their eyes to the most OBJ
yious phenomena within the reach of
their senses. They cannot see that
there is a labor movements: much less
can they comprehend its direction. But
the movement knows itself, even
though many who are in it know moth
ing; and to those who can see it, it is
plainly socialistic.

WHEREABOUTS OF DIR cRoNIN.
Theory of Murder Partially Dispelled
Was he Murdered by Land Leag-
ueIs.

CuICAGo, May 6.
The supposed bloody mystery attached to
the disappearance of DIR. 2. II Cronin was
partly disposed of today. The hair supposed
to be his, found in the bloody trunk on the
prairies near Lakeview was taken this even.
ing TO the barber shop Cronin frequented.
The employees declared unhe sitatingly that
the hair was not Cronn's. Police captain
Setback who met Cronin frequently ex-
pressed similar opinion.
The doctors friends persist in thinking
the doctor has been killed. Rumors are
current in Irish Nationalist circles tonight
about DIR Cronin going New York en- route TO
London for the purpose of testifying before
the Parnell Commission. The missing man
always insisted and declared himself pre-
pared TO prove that not one tenth of the funds
published as collected for the Land League
ever went across the water.
OF the theories concerning the disappear
ance the most credtable one is that he ha.
gone to London to testify to this fact John
Conklin, saloon keeper, with whom he
boarded, was interviewed at length tonight
When pressed he plainly indicated by his
agltated manner that he knew more than he
cared to say concerning the mystery. lie

received letter, or cable dispatches from
England within the past few weeks. lie
contented himself with insisting that the man
was dead and the mystery could not be
cleared up inside of three months. Among
other things he said that several plots were
formed TO kill the missing man within a
month. He had been Swallowed by dele
gate from another city who had sworn to
kill him. The decree of death, he added
had gone out against another opponent of the
