Chicago May 10. (By Carl Vic

dry of conservatism and have .ome
out faded pink.
Iii other words q radica! ism
what he used to be- A vialt to the
annual convention Of the Industrial
Workers Of the world here today
demonstrated that conclusion. For
instance, none, Of the As delegates
carried r. N. r. bombs on their hips.
and there are no printing presses
turning out seditious literature by
the tons and no long-whiskered gen.
tlemer speaking lin broken English.
The delegates all talked English but
talked it mildly.
Advocates of the overthrow of the
government were not present. Dele
gates advocated acquiring of addi-
ttonal members and little else. The
first chief problem before the radicals
is this: GLOW in the world are we
going to scrape up $75,000lto re-tm-
burse bondsmen for our nine convict
ed brothers who failed to accept the
call at Fort Leaven worth prison %
Up to the time of going to press no
answer has been found for that ques-
ton. ~.
