TO TRAIN SPEAKERS.
A College of Sociology to Be Es-
tablished by the So
CialIStS,

A proposition to establish a training
school of oratory and discussion, to qualify
speakers for the stump and lecture plat :
form, was discussed recently at the busi-
ness meeting of the literary branch,
Socialist Labor party, and was unani-
mously approved. Similar schools have
been in operation in many of the Eastern
cities and resulted in developinga corps of
able speakers and debaters, who have be-
come potent factor in the movement in
the East.
The coming campaign, as well as the
continuous propaganda work of the party
in this City and throughout the State,
necessitates the constant use of a well Or
ganized and effective corps of speakers.
The school will open for its first educa-
tional meeting next Friday night, and will
be continued indefinitely.

change in the manner of conducting the
business of the association. The me m bers
were entirely satisfied with Mr.. Curtis.
He having decided to go to Japan in the
interest of several San Francisco business
houses there has arisen, coincidently with
the consideration of the appointment of
his successor, some discussion as to
whether it is necessary for the present to
keep up the existing scale of expenses,
which amount to about $500 per month.
There is no desire to abandon the iden-
tity of the organization nor to permit it to
lapse so that it would be fficult to revive
it whenever occasion might demand. AT
the same time many mem bers think that
the Traffic Association may we'll be COM
Der OF Commerce, the San Francisco Board
of Trade or the Manufacturers and Pro-
ducers' Association.
Some of the members advocate a
union with the Cham Der of Commerce,
and the employ of Captain William
L. Merry, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, as manager. Others favor
union with the San Francisco Board of
Trade, and there are also strong advocates
of an alliance with the Manufacturers
and Producers Association. The main
purpose is to save expense and to make
the total outlay not to much exceed $3.50
per month.
To do this the force of clerks and stem
ographers now employed at the Traffic
Association office at 2l4 Pine street would
necessarily be discharged.
The whole subject matter Will come u p
for discussion at the regular monthly
meeting of the executive committee of the
association next Wednesday. The execu-
tive committee has power to finally decide
what will be done. being empowered by
the constitution of the association with
full control of the administration OF the
associations affairs.
The association had for its first manager
Joseph S. Leeds, who was succeeded by
Mr.. Curtis, when Mr.. Leeds went to st.
Louis to take position with the st. Louis
Merchants Association.
Captain Merry, who may be selected as
manager, while still retaining his position
with the Chamber OF Commerce, has been
member of the Traffic Association from
its organization, and was the president of
the North American Navigation Company
which for time ran an independent line
ofsteamers, in connection with the Panama
Ra lroad Company, between this CITY and
Panama, as part of the through-sea route
between San Francisco and New York.
