Active Nationalists strengthen their To-
 cal Movement by Establishing an Ame-
 rican section nf the \. L, F., in Touch
 with the International Movement "f
 the World.
 The U'crhy NotiouaiiSt heretofore published in Los Angeles, is now issued in San Francisco, where its abln and energetic editor Mr. W. (. Owen, eN- prcts to enlarge it, field of action. We wish him all the success that his earnest efforts deserve.
 The following item of news, clipped from the last issue of our contemporary ,Nuy. Iji, will prove of interest to mem bers of our Par)y
 i've learn ,hat on Sunday Ia7t sec ton of the Sunlalat Labor party WAS fulmrd in lue Angeles, with twenty -on" ,lenrrs frum among lhner whu had hcru most active in the late Nationalist cam uaign Our correspondent writes u5 tina, the idea of forming new Nauon- ahst rlub was disru~srd at considerable length. the names Central and "Radl- cal" being both suggested, but that the meeting finally concluded that 1t Waa more desirable to form direct connection with the orgauIzrd Socialist movement through0ut the world. IL was also de- cdcd tO call a mass meeting Of National ss for Thursday evening, November E. at Turnverein Hall, for the purpose of nominating municipal ticket, or, at least, of making nominations for Mayor and Councilmpn. If this ls done there will be six tickets in the teld-ltepubIl- can, Democratic, Municipal Reform. Taxpaycrs, Prohibition and NatlOnaliota, Our Los Angeles comrades think, how ever, that they have unquestionably the most popular platform to lay before the public, and that if they enter upon a municipal campaign they will be able to complete the work they began in run ming Mir. Wiltshire for Congress, by giy ing the people the opportunity of clear ly understanding the Nationalist DO. sitiuu as regards public ownership of Bas works. water works, and other public utilities.
 In commenting editoriaIIy upon the establishment of the section and the misapprehensOrs which 1t seems tc have awakened d-temporariy we trust in quarters where the event should have been welcome, our contemporary ob serves:
 I've hear that some warmth of feeling has been engcndered in Los Angeles Ma tonalst circles by the starting of So clallat Lahor party section. Surely, tha is all wrong. Surely, it shows alike { lack of generosity and a disregard o justice The editor of this paper wa pres, mt during many conversations Il which the advlsablIity of this step wa discussed, and the point kept c instantly upperuost was its effect upon the wei fare of the Nationalist movemen through which, as was unanimousll conceded, SO much good had beer wrought. We may rest assured that tn men who have taken this step have don so mith the full conviction that the will assist, rather than retard, tn movement, by joining hands with movement that ls organized through0u the world, and has scored within tn last twelve months d long series of UT precedented triumphs It being granite that the social question is unquestior ably international, who can say that tn judgment of the starters of tbis sectiO is wrong, especially as their judgmen is entitled to the consideration whic their record of being among the mos active and earnest of the Los Angelo workers should carry with it?'
