placing trained convention hounds against uhorganized amateurs.
 He, Manley and Ruthenberg were the whole thing.
 John J. Leary, Jr, correspondent for the New York World, who has attend ed innu1nerable international unions, A. F. Ot L., and state labor conventions. said today, T saw but three men in the con- vention who l ever heard of as labor men. These three were Alexander Howatt and two professional hell raisers from Illinois, who have figured in every row in the Miners union in recent years
 Representative of farmers journals, men of wide acquaintance, say there are no farmers here except city farmers like John C. Kennedy, ex-Chicago Socialist alderman, and Walter Thomas Mills of California, who had been radical since '72 and grown wealthy at it.
 War horses in the movement of this section. like Thomas Van Lear, are miss ing There has been great bitterness against all in the American Federation of Labor. There also have been threats to break up the Cleveland July meeting by bolting, unless that group does Fosters bidding"
 There have been reports without num- Der of threats by Mahoney to tell Foster where to get off at, but Mahoney has done no telling. Foster has done that and Mahoney has rolled over and jumped through hoop as per schedule If he didn't like it he didn't refuse to do it.
 Foster comes out of the sessions with one more national organization added to his string. Moscow has another ally Another machine has been set up with which to ''bore from within" the labor movement and with which to conduct a campaign of revolutionary hostility to American institutions.
 The convention has not yet ended as these lines are being placed on the wire, but the facts as stated here cannot be all tered by anything yet to happen. Foster Is the victor and the sooner American wage earners realize the fact, the better for them and their organizations and the better for the American nation.

HELEN BLAZES! LISTEN TO THE HAVING OF HELEN MARIA; ISLANDER ON GOMPERS,
 WALKER AND OLANDER OPENS CAMPAIGN

Charels G. Dawes has put himself definitely on record for the anti-union shop all over again in the midst of the campaign.
 In an interview published on June 16 in the New York World, Dawes set forth the aims of the Minute Men of the Con stitution, the union hating organization of which he was the founder and of which he is the su- preme dictator
 This organization, Dawes says, was formed to force an "open shop" plank into the national platforms.l
 Dawes says he wants such a plank so that there may be laws enacted to curb the "lawless labor leader" who "orders American citizens killed or assaulted when they go peaceably to york;
 Dawes names Samuel Gompers, of Labor; John H. Walker, president and Victor A. Olander, secretary, of the Illinois State Federation of Labor, as the kind of labor leaders who fear the encroachment" of such laws as Dawes and his so-called Minute Men want enacted
 These three men are named, as will be seen, as the kind who are possessed of the privilege to assault and kill American citizens," who do not rep resent honest labor and who 'intimi- date coward1y politicians"
 This is Dawes speaking-Dawes who says these things-DaWes who gained fame by trying to make congress siona1 committee think he was rough customer with his Hell n Maria"
 Dawes boasts that his union hating organized saved two injunction judges" in Chicago, and goes on to make the ridiculous claim that these injunctions are required to be issued by law" A candidate for VicePresi dent ought to know better. Injunctions are issued at the pleasure of judges. The yare not required by law. Some judges, however, think that any kind of an injunction against workers is permitted by law-and that is all they want to know.
 This is Dawes most recent pro nouncement It will be carefully studied. His unspeakab1e islander of such Labor officials as Gompers, Walker and Olander will be under stood and resented.
