All the speakers dwelt on Debs

movement in America. The tone Of
the speeches was in sharp contrast

thing OF the great battles that Debs
fought on the industrial battlefelds Of
America and pointed out that great
tho his love for the workingclass
was, he lacerated the misleaders Of
labor with as bitter a tongue as ever
coiled itself around the English Ian

was delivered across from the work

Debs went down the line for his
principles.
Debs was always on the side of

that were in favor of waging the class
struggle militantly. as against the
reformists. Ruthenberg read several
excerpts from Debss speeches and let

BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. ,29s-rAt the
time when the capitalist courts have

this menace. When one of the great

clubs was made by Rebecca Grecht
field organizer of the General Relief
Committee Textile Strikers, in a

She described the outrages against the
workers, and explained the relief ac-
