Organizing Of Branch Of Industrial
Workers Causes Merry Row.
There was q wild time In q meeting
of 200 Socialists In their hall at No.
g. Grand Riverave., Thursday night,
when A. M. Stirton, editor OF Soil
darity," Newcastle, Pa, publication.
started to organize q local branch OF
the Industrial Workers OF the World,
an organization that has for its OBJ
ject the amalgamation Of all labor
organizations In one big union or
labor trust, to work for shorter hours
and higher wages. Such an organixa-
ton already exists in Detroit and was
originally afiliated with the general
body Mr.. Stirton represents, but q
split occurred two years ago over q
question of policy, the Detroit branch
tying up to the faction which insisted
on mixing In political issues.
When Mr.. Srirton, following an ad
dress on "One big union" proposed
the organization Of Q local branch Of
Industrial Workers, H. Richter, gen.
eral secretary Of the other organiza.
ton. interposed an objection and
challenged Mr.. Stirton to q debate
on the merits or the two factions. Stir.
ton declined to accept the challenge
and proceeded with the work of or
ganization, while members Of the war.
ring factions kept up q running debate
on the floor, not needing the chair
mans insistent calls for order Mr..
Stirton's efforts were successful. In
spite of the opposition.
