Russian dress really is. Mr.. Gold
STEMS appeal is to lovers of God
and Country, to those who stand for
tivil law and ordered liberty.
The address will be followed by
quizzing period, when the speaker
will answer questions relating to
any phase Of the subject whether of
the BOlSheviSm in Russia or of that
propaganda in our own country.
Mr.. GOldstein is we'll qualified to
! speak on the subject of Socialism,
Communism, Bolshevism, since he
was a leader in the Socialist move
ment of Massachusetts some twenty
years ago, having been the first can.
didate of that party for Mayor in
his home city, Boston. His resig-
Ia ton from the Socialist movement,
after three years effort within the
party to reform the organization
caused a sensation at the time, and
it is considered the prime factor in
the decline of its vote in the Old
Bay State. causing the defeat of two
Mayors, the three Socialist members
of the Legislature, and several al
dermen and councilmen. It also
caused the Socialist vote to be
quickly reduced to one-quarter OF
its strength when he quit the move
ment. From that day to this the
Socialist vote has been kept at
low ebb in Massachusetts.
David Goldstein, who is a
staunch defender of conservative
| trades unionism, has struck some
hard blows against Socialism upon
the floor of labor conventions.
When a delegate to the Massachu-
sets State Convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor at Pitts
field. Mr.. Goldstein put a Quietus
! upon Socialist propaganda at these
| annual meetings. by introducing
set of resolutions which concluded
with the demand, We hereby de-
nounce as detrimental to our pro-
gress, as destructive to our good
fame, as descriptive of those personal
and civic virtues which it is our
duty to cultivate, any attitude of
sympathy towards Socialist propa-
ganda within our ranks (This was
the first positive set of resolutions
presented in an American Trade
Union convention against the
| 'Reds'.)"

Boston Transcript shows the impor-
lance of the move made:
1.-THE Socialist propagandists have
no love for uEionism as such; their
connection with it is for the sole
purpose, often frankly avowed, Of
capturing the labor movement
and converting it into a revolution
airy crusade against the existing So
cial and industrial order. By
adopting Mr.. Goldstein's resolution
denouncing this propaganda as in
tellectually unsound, impractical
from an economic standpoint, and
demoralizing to the general we'll
Icing Of society. the State Fedora
ton Of Labor renders a public SER
vice which should be frankly ac-
knOwledged.
Mr.. Goldstein stands for that one
hundred per cent Americanism that
was demonstrated in the practical
and far-reaching aid given to our
government by the knights of Co.
| lumbus in the World War, overseas
and at home, and in the reconstruc-
ton program of this organization
during the present period of read
justment.
Speaking of Mr.. Goldstein's ad-
dress in Troy, N. Y, The Record de-
clared his defense of American in
situations to be zone of the most
remarkable demonstrations of a pa
triotic nature in the history of Troy
from the earliest days down to the
present time.''
!. The meeting will be held in the
Circuit Court room on Wednesday
night at o'clock. Admission will
be free to all, no collections will be
