 A committee of 100 labor unionists, representing practically all the labor organizations of the city. was selected | to welcome Haywood in the name of | the unions and next Thursday gem eral meeting of labor unions will be in the future at which MT. Haywood will be given Q great reception. All this depends, however. upon whether or not Haywood wants such a demonstration. Tonight several thous- and persons gathered outside the main | entrance to the union station. As the train bearing the Haywood party roll those inside the gates quietly walked l toward the train and along the side of | the cars until the one occupied by Hay. wood was reached.
 A number who knew Haywood per- sonally entered the car and were cor dially welcomed by him. Across the aisle from the seat in which Haywood

 He arose in his bed and shook hands with all around him and when he left the car he walked to the car steps with only the assistance of the arm of friend. He was taken to his home in an ambulance. During the brief exchange of felicitations in the car Haywood was ever watchful of his in valid wife. When ali was ready to leave the car, Haywood gathered his wife in his arms and left the car fol- lowed by Acting Secretary Kerwan of the federation.

As he walked past hundreds of hands were outstretched. but his solicitude for his wife caused him to resist the desire tn 10 ing that greeted him kept his face wreathed in smiles. and he reached his carriage and saw his wife seated inside, Haywood abandoned himself to the spirit of the occasion. Standing upon the rear seat of the open car riage, repeatedly shouted cheer after cheer as he waved his hat.
 The crowd joined with him and for several minutes the cheers continued. Half hundred people started to un- hitch the horses from the carriage and attach long rope so they could drag the carriage to Haywood's hotel. Hay wood requested that they forego this and they desisted. It was several min utes before the streets could be cleared and when an opening was broken, the horses pulling Haywoods carriage started up Seventeenth street at al brisk trot.
 Responding to the demands for speech Haywood said he would tell them all about it later and asked to be allowed to retire for the night.
 During his brief talk he referred to what he said was the prediction that mine owners made that he would come back to Colorado in a pine box q am very much alive you see," he said.
