Uicted Men Chief Concern at Session.

CHICAGO, May 10.-Wild-eyed reds of
the country have gone through the
laundry of conservation and have come
out a faded pink
In other words, a radical isn't what
he used to be.
A visit to the annual convention of
the Industrial Workers of the World
here today demonstrated that conclu-
sively.
For instance, none of the forty FIVE
delegates carried INT bombs on his hip
Also, there were no printing presses
turning out seditious literature by the
ton. No long -whiskered gentleman
speaking in broken English, were num-
bered among the delegates. All the rep
resentatives talked the kings English
and talked it mildly.
OVERTHROW IS
NOT ADVOCATED.
Advocates Of the overthrow Of the Gov
ernment were not present. Delegates ad-
yocated the acquisition Of additional
members, little else.
The chief problem before the radicals
was this:
How in the world are we going to
scrape up the $4,000 to reimburse the
bondsmen of our nine convicted brethren
who failed to answer roll call at LaRYen-

In the state to vote on the question.
Were the election to be held today
the result probably would be abou four
to one against the change The Citizens
League, which favors the new plan. is
trying through Il number Of public meet
lugs to batter down the popular I'm
preston that the commission manager

politicians directing the opposition have
been able To create. 1t Is yery doubtful
If this can be accomplished IN the short
time left.
Leaders in the Citizens League admit
that their task is well-nlgh hopeless, not
only because Of the lack Of time, but also
because the "antis" have captured almost
all Of the best known and beloved local
spell binders.
Certain well meaning citizens In Marion
have been Interested in the commission
manager plan since before the Legislature
passed the law legalizing 1t in Indiana.
In fact. 1t IS said here that Richard
Brush, secretary Of the Marion Associa

Of Commercial Club secretaries who spent
considerable time in Indianapolis lobby

of the 1. W. VS.:
''The aim Of the l. w. w is to organ
lie every worker of each industry into

This would give us a better chance of
