Mr.. Adamson showed that he was a
Socialist and a supporter OF the princl-
pies of the Industrial Workers Of the
World when he said that the workers of
the world must unite industrially and
politically If they desired to cope with
the great combinations Of capital which
rule the world Mr.. Adamson is one OF
the delegates to the Western Federation
OF Miners that carries much weight He
is a forceful speaker and his piercing
gray eyes, set in a face lined with marks
OF character and showing the strain OF
years Of toll and opposition to the hand
OF the oppressor, commanded great at
tention, interrupted only by applause
Mr. Fox followed Mr.. Adamson- MI

editor OF the Industrial Review OF Puep-
10. one Of the foremost labor papers In
the Central West. welding n great innu-
ence among the farmers. being the om-
cial organ of the Farmers Union. and
Mr.. Fox is faithful to his constituency
the farmer-at all times. Mr.. Fox Is not
embarrassed when standing before
body of men He is ever master OF the
situation, and although his many friends
In the Assembly interrupted his line OF
thought by remarks he would gather up
the threads of his discussion quickly and
even did not perspire when Treasurer
Fritz Henning whispered TO him to cut
Il short"
Sf. Fox spoke for harmony in the la
bor movement. He said that be believed
the movement or the acts OF one section
OF the state should not DC criticised by
thu laboring men OF another section, say
IN that IL was SO easy to be mistaken
in the conclusions We draw as TO the
motives OF those who are promoting or
opposing some proposition. He said, In
part:
we OF Pueblo have troubles and tri0-
ulailons oil our own. but We OF Pueblo
have no right TO criucise the acts OF our
brothers IN Denver. Harmony should be
the watehword OF the movement We
have mad much OF strife and much OF
intrigue. but we should get together and
lend a helping hand Tor harmony to the
different factions and the different
trades.
..The man who has the Itching palm
is n menace to the movement and shouid
be eliminated. he is as much TO be de-
ppfseu and feared as the man who ere
ates strife between different trades that
he may become the champion and leader
OF one OF the factions. The man VINO
lands his talents to the cause of the
movement and then sells his prestige
thus gained to the corporations is our
greatest menace. All the failures that
have come to the labor movement have
come from following leaders. The lead-
er is dangerous. because he so often
leads to destruction"
