Prof Ely goes on to cite several
other illustrations of a Sociallstlc or
radical spirit which permeated early
American labor uniouism, and refers
to the radical addresses OF Ely Moore,
president of The General Trades
Union Of New York" and OF Stephen
Simpson, which were delivered in 1891
and 1888. A striking Socialistic dec
laration IS that of Thomas Skidmore. i
labor candidate for governor OF New
York state uttered in 1929. Skidmore
saws, "Inasmuch as great wealth Is an
instrument which is uniformly used to
eXtort from others their property, 1t
ought to be taken away from its pos
