Speakers of Prominence
From these advance announce

ally that the governors of several
states will be present and speak. All
the acceptances have not yet been re-
ceived, but it is likely that Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu-

will be represented by their chief
executives. 1t is estimated that fully
500 delegates from various labor bod
les in New England, will be present.

six New England states, which was
formed in Worcester five years ago,

is also the New England Labor Con-

at a meeting in Worcester, following a
speech by Harry A. Russell, represen-
tative of the Workers Education Bu-
reau, in which he suggested the ar
ranging of a congress such as the one
about to be held. Aside from this the
call announces that statesmen, educa-

Effort For New England

New York.--That the best talent
available is to be requisitioned to aid
in the solution Of New England's' eco
nomic problem, is the latest news con-
corning the proposed New England
Labor Congress. 1t is quite likely
that President Hoover will have a
word Of encouragement to say to or
about the congress over the radio and
Owen D. Young, chairman of the
American delegation Of the repara-
ton conference, is almost sure to be
present at the congress and make a
speech. President Green, Of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, is expected
to call the congress to order.
This and much more that is inter
esting was decided upon at recent
executive meeting held in Worcester,
Mass. The place and date remain as
previously announced - Worcester,
