SOCIALISM AMONG WORKINGMEN.
THE GERMAN DOCTRINES STEADILY SPREADING
IN THE LABOR UNIONS.

THE GERMAN DOCTRINES STEADILY SPREADING
IN THE LABOR UNIONS.
The tendency toward Socialism is steadily spread
ing among the trades unionists OF this city. The
backbone Of the American Federation of Labor which
is supreme. is the International ClgarInalers'
Union, with total membership of 10000. Many Of
The members are Poles and at least one-third are
confessed Socialists whose leader in the Federation
is Ludwig Jablonowsh, for many years
secretary Of Cigarmalers' Union No. 90
Of this city. Through Mr.. JablonOwsld
the socialstlc element in the International Union at
tempted and nearly with success to pass resolutions
in the recent convention in Tammsny Hall committing
the entire order to the policy Of the National Pro
gressive Socialistlc party.
A spasmOdic eruption Of Socialism in the ranks Of
labor occurred last spring when, after a fight in the
Central Labor Union, the main body Of Socialists, de
featcd in their efforts, deserted, and. procuring
charter from the American Federation OF
Labor, created central organization, nine
tenths OF the delegates TO which were

that the results of their analyses, as well as OF
their experience show that the VAN HoUTENs
do exactly what science would suggest for the
conversion of raw cocoa into o satisfactory article
Of food They simply remove some Of the orig
inally contained fat and in an ingenious manner
increase the solubility of the fesh-iormlng con-
stituents of the cocoa bean. To remove the ex-
of fat from cocoa is well known to be deSlr-
able. Some manufacturers roughly accomplish
the object by largely diluting the ground cocoa
with starch, so that a cupful of thick beverage
may be made, which doubt contains dimIn-
ished amount of fat, but. Of course also contains
diminished amount of every other constituent Of
