Plans for great gathering of peo-
pie at the Union station to be followed
by n monster open-air meeting We're
abandoned yesterday when 1t became
known that Mr.. Haywood postponed
his departure from salt Lake a day
on account of the condition of John
ri. Murphy, general counsel to the
federation. who was reported dying.
Instead. 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 on next
Thursday "A general meeting Of labor
unions will be held to formulate plans
for meeting in the future at which
Mr.. Haywood viii be given n great
retention and at which he will be the
principal speaker All this depends
however. upon whether or not Hay
wood wants such demonstration.
and he has not as yet definitely IN
dicated his willingness to be so hon
ored.
THOUSANDS AT DEPOT.
Tonight several thousand persons
gathered outside the main entrance
to Union station, while within the
gates leading into the yard platform
were 100 or more persons, including
newspaper men, committee men and
employees of the station. As the Dem
Yer & Rio Grande train bearing the
Haywood party rolled into the de-
not at 1916 o'clock, five minutes be-
hind the schedule, those inside the
gates Quietly walked toward the train
and along the side of the cars until
the one occupied by Haywood and his
friends was reached. Haywood could
plainly be seen through the car win
dows, but no cheering was INDUCED
in until after the news became circu-
lated that Murphy was in as
good condition as .could be hop
ed for, and then the priril-
eyed few on the depot plat
form began TO move restlessly toward
the steps of the car occupied by Hay
wood. number who personally
knew Haywood entered the car and
were cOrulally WeICoiuNV "! iih'' ~
shook hands with all the newspaper
men. many of whom he recognized
as old acquaintances'
Across the aisle from the seat in
which Haywood was sitting lay his IN
valid wife. Immediately next to Hay
wood, in n section with curtains
drawn, was Atty. Murphy reclining
upon a bed softened by Pillows. AS
the people began TO move through
the car TO greet Haywood, Murphy
drew back the curtains Of his berth,
and with careworn expression, sazed
intently at the little group gathered
in the aisle of the car. Soon some
one recognized Murphy and called him
by name. Immediately he was the
center of interest as Wen as HAYWOOD
and the cordiality with which the
crowd addressed him seemed to give
Murphy new strength and life. He
arose in his bed and shook hands with
all around him, and when 1t came
time for him to leave the car he
walked TO the car steps with only the
assistance of the arm of friend. A
stretcher awaited him. upon which he
was carried to an ambulance and then
taken to his home.
HAYwooD's WIFE.
During the brief exchange OF felici-
tations in the car Haywood was ever
watchful of his invalid wife. who con-
stantly kept her gaze set upon nm
and smiled occasionally in satisfaction
for the glad welcome her husband
was receiving. When all was ready to
leave the car. Haywood gathered his
wife In his arms and left the car,
followed by acting Secy. Kirwin of the
federation, who met the party at
Colorado Springs. and others, and as
he dismounted from the steps of the
car number of those standing
around removed their hats and waved
them in his direction, accompanying
the gesture of welcome with a ringing
cheer Mrs. Haywood was placed in
an invalid chair and then all started
toward the gates leading out OF the
station.
