Our Waverly Hall meeting on Sun
day afternoon was we'll attended. Com
Iade Morgan read a short report Of the
City Hall meeting i'll favor of the Starv-
ing coal miners in Biaidwood, which
was published in the Globe, and where
it was stated that the meeting had been
captured by the Socialists. Comrade
Heayer stated that it was certainly true
that the majority of the attendants at
that meeting were Socialists. but they
came there to assist their suffering broth
ers and not to capture the meeting There
is no doubt, he said, the half-dozen poll
tlclans that were present at the meeting
were greatly excited about that grand
speech of the "socalistic" Morgan, but,
nevertheless, every word he said was
true. But let me tell you one thing,

hadn't been at that meeting, the cham

MINNIE EAPOLIS.

Since Jan. /, we have done our ut
most to spread Socialism among our
English speaking fellow. workers. We
had over half a dozen agitation meet
ings and two special meetings jointly
with our St. Paul comrades. We sue
ceeded in getting our Scandinavian
comrades to join our Party again, and
some good genuine Americans have
also entered our organization. 1t is
only question of time when we will
have an English-speaking Section here.
Our ideas are no longer the bugbear
they were, and even knights of Labor
are not afraid of publicly preachin &
socialism.
AS for literature, we have sold good
many copies of Karl Marks Capital
and other pamphlets, and have also dis
tributed thousands of leaflets.
There is an agitation going on tc
have a sick and benefit society like that
which our comrades of New York have
started, on the basis of mu tualism, in
the hope that we may thus induce our
fellow wage-workers to leave the reac
tionary lodges to which they belong
Our State organization is in the best
possible hands and very prosperous.

The Two International Labor Con.
gresses-POssibilists and Marxists.


The information thus far transmitted
by the Associated Press and other news
agencies concerning the Labor Congress
now being held in Paris is still very
meagre and unsatisfactory. In the
body known as the Possibilists, there
appears to be no representation from
Germany, whereas the other has full
representation not only from Germany,
but from many other countries, mum.
bering in all 371 delegates, as follows:
France, lSo; Germany, 80; other coun.
tries, 1O9. In the German delegation
are all the Socialist members of the
Reichstag.
The Socialist element appears to be
very strong in the Possibilist Congress,
where a motion in favor of union was
sustained by the Belgian, Dutch and
American delegates. The majority,
however, insisted that their right to
examine the credentials should be recog-
nized by the other body as fundamental
condition of union, and it Furthermore
admitted Boulangist delegate against
the protest of an energetic and consid-
eTable minority.
In the other Congress, known as the
Marxist because Of the perfect agree.
ment of its delegates as to the Social
istic character of the labor movement,
the question of merging these two
Congresses into one was the subject of
lengthy debate on Tuesday, which ter
minated at midnight with the adoption,
amid considerable excitement, of a reso-
luton presented by Liebknecht, protest
ing against the methods of the Possibil-
lists, but laying stress on the necessity
of uniting labor against the common en-
emy. and declaring the readiness of
this Congress to unite with the Posi-
bilists provided the latter should pass
similar resolutions

The regular agitation meeting of the
S. l.. p. Section of Boston was held on
the Common on the 14th OF this month,
which day happened to be the centen-
NAL anniversary of the Storming of the
Bastille, and Of course the speakers
made reference to that great historical
event. The eight-hour movement came
in also for share of their attention,
and remarks upon the lnadequacy of
The Boston Herald had an article upon
"Cranks on the Common" in its col
umns, attempting to beget public preju-
dice and illwill. Notwilh hstanding the
shower of abuse from this capitalistic
sheet, the meeting was orderly and the
crowd large and attentive. Indeed,
after recess of an hour and half the
people were on hand again to listen and
to applaud until 10 p. m., and even
then they went home slowly, standing
and talking in little groups; yet the
Herald alluded to the speakers as sun
sufferable bores addressing unpilling
ears" The reporters of that paper, who
are themselves a hard worked, i'll paid
and despised class of wage-slaves, are
doing all they can to excite public preju-
dice against labor meetings and the
labor movement. Some men have no
shame, and for consideration will
dance to any tune. The trick, however,
does not work, and our meetings are
thriving in spite of such hirelings.
