to make certain that the greatest

ON the State Fair Grounds. The an
nouncement that John Mitchell would
speak was sufficient to assure q mann
moth audience. but now that these
two men will speak from the same
platform, both the conservative and
radical wings Of the Labor movement

The thousands of mine workers in

be augmented by the other thousands
who admire Berger. and there will be
thousands who viii come to hear what

That Berger would speak came as
surprise inasmuch as he had pre-
viously explained that it would be inn
possible, owing q conflicting dates.
It appears now that the demand for
his presdace has been SO insistent
from local labor men,, that this,
coupled with bis own desire to visit
the busy Ohio 81, hassasa him ID
secure from the other cities rear
rangement of his dates, so that he
