nero viejo en- las luchas, Francisco de

parade una exposition dirigida los
delegados de la Convention, la que
ha sido traducida al ingl6s, sera
remitida opOrtunamente.
FL Presidente Quinones dijo los
concurrentes:
xLa sentencia del trabajo Sc ha
dictado bajo estos elocuentfsimos con-
ceptos: xLa emancipation de los tra-
Deiadores obra de los mismos traba-
jadores ha de ser.& Pero & raiz de
esta sentencia, hay un fallo tambien
elocuente que dice: <El peor enemigo
del obrero, es el obrero mismo.1
Y la verdad de este hechO Sc ma
nifesta pateticamente viendose los
distanciados de sus pro-
pias luchas, siguiendo por la resbala-
diza pendiente de la degradation que
envilece destroza al hombre.
Ell obrero que no atiende a su eau
sa todas sus facultades las entrega
al servicio del ajeno, comete Ell doble
crimen dc suicidarse asfmismo, ne
gando Il sus hijos y q su esposa el pan
que le roban los parAsitos.>
