A score Of men listened to lecture on
"Co operation and Soeiiasm, Their Aims
and Objeotsn by Alex Robertson, at the
Tool Sharpeners' hall, il the Quinlen
block Saturday evening, after which sew
eral of the audience Joined In brief dis
cussion. The main topic Of discussion
was whether trade unions should mix up
In politics, or rather should allow poll
ties to enter the unions. 1t appeared to
be the opinion Of those who spoke that
there would be no harm done.
One man asked MT Robertson to state
his opinion Of Samuel Gompers, president
OF the American Federation of Labor, and
John Mitchell Of the mine workers union.
Mr., Robertson was not severe in his ar
raignment He declared that although
Mr.. GOmpers might not be deep thinker
he was undoubtedly an orator Of uncom-
mon powers, capable Of swaying his au-
dIence easily. He thought that Mr.. Com
pers used his position unfairly as presid-
ing officer Of the recent labor convention
on the subject Of Socialism on those who
were "hoverlng betwixt and between.
John Anderson, the chairman of the
meeting, closed the discussion declaring
that the Socialists are not all dead despite
the efforts Of the capitalist press" to kill
them off he maintained that while his
party lost heavily in Massachusetts 1t
made gain of 0,000 in New York.

this is the reason that few Of them arc

ton as TO what the amount Of that fine
