LABOR LEAGUE MEN INDIGNANT.

Want the Peoples Party Men TO Hoe
Their Own Row and Not Draw Them In.
The action of the leaders Of the So
called Peoples Party movement in calling
their conventions aU Union Park on Labor
Day, after the Labor League had arranged
for picnic there and then holding star
chamber sessions, has aroused quite
good deal Of indignation on the
part of members Of the Labor League,
who are by no means in accord with The
socialistie principles of the new party.
This feeling has been further augmented
by the action Of the executive committee
in denounoing the local press for publish
ing the records Of the meetings
Said one well-known member OF the
league: Il know of many workingmen
who are not IN accord with the Peoples
Party, and it is not fair to them to
make them in anyway responsible for
the actions Of these men who are, many
Of them, not oven workingmen, certainly
not members of the league. It is in
tended as bid for the workingmRn' 8
