Head of Textile Workers of America
Also DenOunces Radicalism
In Labor Unions.

MANCHESTER. n. H., Oct. o
President John Golden of the United Tex
tile Workers of America in his annual
address at the organizations convention
today, attacked the open shop movement
as a plot to annihilate trade unionism
and he denounced wildcat radical la
Dor unions" After describing the found
ing of independent unions he said they
We're disintegregating rapidly. The
principal rock upon which they split,
said President Golden, was their ex-
treme radicalism and their avowed dis
loyalty to everything that meant good
sound Americanism.
He asserted they had no hesitation in
placing the red flag of anarchy over tht
flag of our country. The mass of textile
workers in this country. whether organ
lied or unorganized, has no use for rad
icaIism, anarchy or Sovietism he said in
reporting that the United Textile Work
ers were gathering strength.

lures of This Morning -
Good Crowd on Hand to
See Racing This After
noon

A cold. raw wind that put soft drinks
at a discount and oyster stews at a
premium, with now and then scud of
chilly rain, was the portion which the
weather authorities. contrary to predic-
ton. served the Valley fair on its open
ing this morning. Uncomfortable as 1t
was. however. the combination failed to
daunt the spirits of crowd whose proper
tions We're we'll up to the average of first
day attendance To be sure, the number
was not as large as last year, but it was
big enough so that the automobiles which
brought it filed fully three-quarters of the
enclosure within the track and the folks
who composed it gave the midway people
a busy morning.
The fair itself is an excellent all-round
exhibition with practically everything the
management advertised on hand and
many additional features for the enter
tainment of the spectator. The cattle
show. considering its three county llmlta-
tionS is an exceptionally good one, in

by George Applin and Fred Gasset, tied
for second and third places, and in the
pitch-off the Miller-Harris combination
ran up a total of p points. The other
two entries were from Vernon and Gull
ford Oranges. Up to noon the draft cattle
classes had not more than gotten undea
way. but the excitement which the OPEN
ing skirmishes engendered promised a
thrilling afternoon for the devotees of this
sport. The premier event in this compe-
tition will be the free-for-all battle be-
tween yokes driven by ]. ID. Avery of
Shelburne, Mass, and III. O. Bolton of

anxious fans today for the first game of

While Cleveland ruled a slight favor

that fact did not phase the confidence of
Manager Robinson and the Brooklyn
players. They were prepared to go
through the series fighting from start to

advantage possessed by Cleveland, &C
