SOCIALISTS WILL
HONORLOCAL MAN

Tomorrow evening the Peter Kraft /
golden jubilee Will be celebrated II /

he of particular interest to all who
keep in touch with affairs in the world |
Of labor.
Mr. Kraft Joined the labor and So
cialist movement In Hamburg, Ger
many, in 1865. and has held continu-
Gus membership ever since. He is
now rs years of age and during his
life has participated in some stirring
events.
+ He is one of the men who launched
the socialist movement in Hamburg in
1855, and was delegate to the famous
congress OF Eisenach that brought
about the unifcation Of the Lassal-
/ lians and Eisenachers, the TWO sections
of the socialist party in Germany, in
lIS76 This congress was the principal
factor that led Prince Bismarck, the
Iron Chancellor, to secure the passage
of the exception laws, so-called be-
cause they were. aimed at the social
democracy alone They were terribly
drastic and intended TO once and for
all wipe out social democracy in Ger
many. Among other things provision
was made that any one found active in
socialist propaganda was given "a
hours to cross the German boundary.
Mr.. KRAFT found it expedient to leave
Germany. In 1878 he emigrated to
America and came to Davenport. In
1882 he took part in organizing a
branch of the socialist party there,
and some of the leading socialists of
the world were engaged to deliver lee
lures.
In 1895 Mr. Kraft helped organize
the present socialist party in Rock Is
land country and took prominent part
in the movement till the infirmities OF
age interfered,
In the early days Of socialism in
Germany the little shoemaking shop of
Mr.. Kraft's was used as a meeting
kplace and such men high in socialist
< ranks as Karl Marx. Frederick Engels,
Ferdinand r5assalIe and others used
to meet there.
He has always been a close student
of the development of socialism. and
when in a reminiscent mood. has some
interesting stories to tell of his ex-
speriences.
Mr.. Kraft has record OF member

any other man in the United States.

iof his comrades will be in attendance
