Mr., Hall will undoubtedly be glad to

There is also good reason to believe
that the measure providing for per-

When this has been done can it not
be said that Joe Hill Hall has at last
won two of the great fights which he
has so long waged? Certainly he will
be due that credit, and his friends will
know and appreciate the work he has
done. But will the ''new" reformers

considerable portion of them that to
them this credit is due =? That they
