Schools Please Those

A cross between an experience meeting
and a reception held at the Finch School,
No. 81 East 18th street, completed the
first days session yesterday of the fourth
annual convention of the intercollegiate
| Socialist Society. The delegates occu-
pied benches in the school auditorium,
where such speakers as J. G. Phelps
| Stokes, Upton Sinclair. Mrs Florence
Kelley and William English Waling ad
dressed them briefly. Mr. Stokes warned
them against the wiles Of the Progress
I sives.
| 81 must urge you to guard carefully
against confusing the Progressive move
| ment with the Socialist movement" he
said. There is no relation between the
two. Even if all our great industries
were run by the government we would
still be very far from socialism. which
means the absolute and entire control Of
wealth by the workers. Don't be mis-
| led"
Mr. Wallins uttered the same warning,
! saying:
I'VE must distinguish between our
selves and the Progressive party or we
shall be swallowed up
