CANNON PLEDGES
HELP TO STRIKERS
Crowd Which Half Fills
Garden Hears Attack on
Old Line Parties.

W. B. Fitzgerald, leader OF the
striking car men, yesterday shared the
applause OF six thousand Socialists
with Allan L. Benson, candidate for
President on the Socialist ticket, at the
ratification meeting of the Socialists at
Madison Square Garden. While the
crowd only half filed the Garden, 1t
tried to make up in enthusiasm what
it lacked in numbers.
A demonstration was accorded to MI
Benson, former newspaper reporter
now a magazine writer, that lasted
more than twenty minutes, and every
man and woman in the hall contributed.
When the cheering was brought TO a
halt through the energy of the ushers,
who wore the Don't BE a Scab" sashes
Of the striking car men. Mr.. Benson
began his attack on capital and the
cld-line parties.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, who followed him.
won more cheers by this one sentence
than any Of the other speakers:
at has been decided that a sympa-
thetic strike of all the workers OF
greater New York shall be declared on
Wednesday,"
Mr.. Fitzgerald, VINO was accompanied
20 the Garden by several other strike
leaders, after telling the Socialists that
he knew he had their sympathy, said
that the move should bring out every
worker in the greater city excepting
the employees on the labor newspapers.
Joseph d. Cannon, candidate for
United States Senator, pledged the
striking car men the financial support
Of the Socialistic party, if called upon.
Other speakers were George K. Kirk
patrick. Of New Jersey, candidate for
Vice President; Meyer London, the
only Socialist member Of the House Of
Representatives Morris Hillquit, can

Mr.. Towne, in a discussion Of his

where the public is not Inconvenience.
On this point he writes:
Assuming that strikes, when resort
ed to, have not been accompanied by
violation Of law. IT will be conceded
that the purposes sought and the re-
suits achieved were not merely proper
but highly commendable, and this has
been the judgment of enlightened pup
lie opinion. II at times, as the power
Of organized labor has grown by vastly
increased numbers and by the consoh-
dation of units, it has been abused and
has been exercised not only for good
but also for evil, we may properly at
tribute the latter fact TO bad guidance
and leadership, rather than to bad IN
tentons on the part Of the membership
at large"
