dlence..at the spring and for Two hours
spoke to the working men of the CITY on
the condition of labor. Mr. McCuiloch's
speech was logical ana convincing and
was devoted very largely to the principles

true solution of the labor problem. His
speech was not Of an incendiary nature.
as many would believe, nor did it partake
IN the least of the nature of anarchisn.
