l'n,,tn Mont. July 20.-The session

ho Mcnamara brothers opens in Los
Angeles was voted down lfz 10 lz4'
after q number of spirited speeches
II was finally voted TO levy an as
easement of 25 cents on each mem
her monthly, the assessments to con-
tipne AS the executive board deemed
mo nancy was necessary for the pur-
nose of defense fund.
Thomas Campbell of Millers, New,
moved that the Western Federation
derlare for general strike and urg-
sd that other organizations take SIM
liar action.
Frank Curran OF Butte declared he
Ad not believe President Samuel
Gompers of the American Federation
would do anything In the matter un-
lose II was put right up to him.
william wilkinson of Cooper Un-
ion, No. 80, spoke forcibly on the
,he ouestion. He urged that no
preiudce against Mr.. Gompers or the
American Federation should influ-
ence any delegate.
"If a general strike Is declared,
said Delegate Wilkinson, 1--WE will be
scabbed on from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and the government and MIL
tary will soon compel us to rip out
the lumber for our own coffins. Let
that trial go on, on its merits, and let
us give our imprisoned brothers all
the aid in our power and we Will save
their necks just as the countrywide
influence of labor organizations saved
the necks Of our own Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone."
Joseph d. Cannon of Blsbee. Ariz.,
made strong speech for an aban-
donment of the general strike move
ment
There Is no general organization
Of workingmen to enforce so-called
general strike he declared emphat-
ically.
at Is ridiculous for one-tenth OF
one per cent of the laborers OF TINS
country to attempt to dictate what
the remainder of the 30.000.0 600 labor
ers in this country shall do in this
matter. This proposition Is not seri-
ously meant by the menfwho propose
it. The only idea is to get some cheap
newspaper advertising by taking u
radical step"
"All this talk about calling gem
era strike is cheap noise declared
Delegate Guy Miller, of Webb Guy
Mo. The people who have made
similar noises on occasions in the
past, are the last to so down In their
pockets and do something practlcal
and effective in the cause OF. labor

Park a Beauty SPOT,

Owing TO the perseverance of Street
Commissioner Ganzenmuller. Central
park. in Sea Cliff, ~ y. has been re-
deemed from its former condition Of
untidiness and is fast assuming the
look Of an up to date and pretty park.
The park which is quite near the
center of the village. was filed with
dead chestnut trees when Mr. GanZen-
muller took office. One of his first of
fetal acts was to secure permission to
cut the trees down and put the lumber
so obtained To good use for the village
Later on the stumps were attacked
and removed Now the entire park
has been levelcd and graded. Paths
are being laid out, and the ground will
be seeded down to grass. and other
things will be planted
The value Of the surrounding prop
erty has been increased by the changed
appearance of the park.

THE FIT SURVIVE.

In the American Magazine for NO
yember is given the following pleasing
picture of Captain of Industry of the
Old School" How do you like him?
Capitalism creates an environment with
in which his kind survives.
His family denied, but he did not,
that in his youth he had been engaged
in the illicit importation of slaves as
well as in the interstate slave trade
which was carried on under the protec
ton of the law. Although born in the
northern part of New York state, he
owned a plantation in Virginia where
negroes were bred for sale in the states
farther south. lie was bitterly opposed
to the sentimentalism of the abolition
lists and contributed heavily to the fund
which was raised by Forney among the
Wall street bankers and brokers for the
election of Buchanan. He opposed the
election of Lincoln and was one of the
men mentioned by Forsyth in his letter
to jefferson Davis in which the confed
crate commissioner wrote that he had
been informed that "two hundred of the
most influential and wealthy citizens of
New York had been approached ana
were then arranging the details of a
plan to throw off the authority of the
federal and state governments, to seize
the navy yard at Brooklyn and to de
clare New York a free city Yet when
the popular feeling broke down this con
spiracy, he did not hesitate to avail him
self of tho commercial possibilities af-
forded by the contest, for he was equally
active in financing union army contracts
and confederate blockade runners, trad
ing in gold, building the Union Pacific
railway, and in the other activities to
which the adroit minds Of those days adj
dressed themselves. You may be sure
that he had his full share in the fierce
combats and sports OF that and later
periods. He measured his wits against
Commodore Vanderbilt, schcmed and
fought with JAY Gould. caroused with
Jim Fiske. Tie backed Heenan to beat
Sayers. put on the gloves with Bill
Poole, drove his team of fast trotter-.
bet fmiou.ly on all sporting events
fought cocks and dogs, shot pigeons, and
had rat pie ia his stable where he en-
tertaiHei his friends on Sunday after
Moons"

PREJUDICE.

was climbing mp the mountain path
With many things 10 do,
Important business of my own
And other people, too,
Whom 1 ran against Prejudice
Tint quite emit off the view.
My work was such as could not walt,
My path quite clearly showed;
My strength and time were limited,
! carried quite a load;
And there that hulking Prejudice
Sat all along the road.
So | spoke TO him politely,
For he was huge and high,
And begged that he would move a bit,
And let me travel by
lie smiled, but as for moving
lie didn't even try.
And then | reasoned quietly
With that colossal mule;
The time is short, no other path,
The mountain winds were cool
/ argued like a Solomon,
He sat there like a fool.
And then I begged him on my knees
| might be kneeling still
If so | hoped to move that mass
OF obdurate i'll will.
As well invite the monument
To vacate Bunker Hill
So ] sat before him helpless
In an ecstacy of woe
The mountain mists were rising fast,
The sun was sinking low
When a sudden inspiration came,
As sudden winds do blow.
[ took my hat, took my stick,
My load I settled fair
[ approached that awful incubus
With an absent minded air
And I walked directly through him
As if he wasn't there.

A LETTER FROM
Los ANGELES


b, Anna \. Nulry.
Comrades of Nasbugton3
had expected to find much socialist
activity in Los Angeles but the pic,s
discount all expectations.
Twelve rooms in the Canadian build
ing on Main street are devoted TO 80
cialist headquarters, \ large banner
spans the street bearing the legend, $50
cialist Headquarters"
There are seven well organized de
partments Speakers, Literature supply.
Literature Distribution, Publicity HI
nancial, Information and Conveyance.
The efficiency of the campaign organi-
cation is the wonder of the town.
Something like twenty four halls are
daily in use for meetings. In the most
popular of these meetings run from
twelve to tvo-thirty and from six to
nine thirty.
Virtually tons of literature have been
distributed. Three push carts in the
street in front of headquarters are laden
with the standard socialist publications.
Wallis principles of Scientific Social
ISM" and Richardson's Industrial Prob
lems," have been the most popular sell
ers among the cheaper books, while Kirk
patrick's 'War What For?" has had a
heavy sale among the higher priced
books.
The sixteenth leaflet for distribution
is now on the press. Each issue has
been of from fifty to one hundred
thousand, and the distribution is thor.
oughly organized by wards and precincts.
Ruth Sterry, who was discharged by
the Tribune because of her socialism, has
charge of the publicity department.
The information department is sup
posed to answer accurately all questions
touching the marking of ballots and
election day generally. A few questions
they answer on suspicion, such as "Was
Christ a socialist" or rs my hat on
straight ~ Each precinct will have in
formation headquarters next week.
The newly enfranchised women of the
working class have canvassed their pre-
cincts thoroughly with pencil and pad
in hand and have Spotted their men,"
The lists which they compile are turned
over to the conveyance committee, which
will undertake to send a wheelbarrow, a
dray or an automobile after laggard
voters on election day.
These women have worked like bcaN-
ers, taking house at a time, just as
they have been used to wiping a cup at
a time They have done a work which
their laboring husbanoe did not have
time to do.
