Max Hayes. a labor leader
Of Cincinnati, has a reputation also as
a socialist because he cannot refrain from
espousing it's cause whenever he speaks
in a labor meeting. So long has he been
doing this that he is now considered a
privileged character IN any labor meeting
and is permitted TO expOund the doctrines
of his hobby without being molested. A
convention Of the American Federation OF
Labor without the presence or Hayes and
his socialism would really not be consid-
cred a convention. At the last meeting
of the federation in Scranton, Pa, Hayes
took all the other delegates by surprise
by making a lengthy speech and not re-
ferring TO socialism. All were astOnished
as he started to sit down; then. remember
ing another point. he rose again and said
his principles were the only remedy. Us
Ually he attempts to get some sort of a
resolution passed by the liberation, but
IS invariably voted down. Concerning him
the Artisan, published in Cleveland, has
the following verse:
''Oh the red-button boy
To ScrantOn's gone,
And now in his hole you
Will find him.
BY the A. F.. OF l.. he was
Sat down upon
And he's pulled the hole
In behind him."
