were beginning to beat and shoot

NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 10.-
At the first after-the-eIection
meeting of the New York Gen.
trail Trades and Labor Council,
the action of the executive Of
ficers in indorsing Davis, Nor
gan's lawyer, in spite of the
body's previous Endorsement of
LaFollette, was approved.
This utter disregard of the
wishes of the body was heartily
Endorsed by an uncommonly
fine collection of gangsters and
thugs, who had been procured
for the occasion.
No Socialist Protest.
A notable feature of the meeting
was the complete failure Of the social
ist delegates to make any defense of
their standard bearers, LaFollette and
Thomas. Among those absent we're
Feinstone, well-known socialist, sup
porter of LaFollette and delegate from
the United Hebrew Trades.
Criticism OF the action OF the officers
was led mainly by Delegate Lefkowitz,
OF the Teachers Union, who, as usual,
was doing the dirty work that the So
cialist party did not have the courage
enough TO do itself. The chief pastime
OF the meeting seemed to be whacking
the remains Of the socialist party.

YOUNG WORKERS
IN DRIVE ON MAIL

Distribute Leaflets at
Two Big Plants

The drive on the mail order
houses conducted by the Young
Workers League of Chicago has
met with initial success on the
very first day.
More than thirty members of
the Y. w. L., with the aid of
several members of the Junior
Section, were at the gates of
the giant plant of Sears, Roe
buck e Co. and at Phillipsborn,
yesterday morning and after
noon distributing 10000 leaflets
announcing the campaign and
the expose of the dreadful con-
ditions of the mail order houses
which will be featured in the
special mail order house edition
of the young Worker.
Young Workers Show Interest.
Many of the young workers greeted
this campaign as a signal for fight
against the bosses and showed will
to help in this fight which has been
initiated by the Young Workers League
Of Chicago. An encouraging sign in
the campaign was the fact that most
Of the young workers kept the leaflet
which was given to them.
For this campaign $4,000 copies of
the Special Mail Order House edition
of the Young Worker have been
printed. Compared with the number
Of young workers in the mail order
industry in Chicago the sales of this
edition are expected to be far below
the demand.
Starting with Big Push.
Every effort Of the city organiza-
ton of the Young Workers League
will be made to get definite results
out OF this campaign. With the vim
and vigor with which the membership
Of the league has responded there is
no question but that the Young
Workers League will be known to
every young worker in the mail order
industry in Chicago. 1t is expected
that this campaign will mean the or.
ganization of shop nuclei in every
house Of the industry in Chicago.
