we hereby propose to take in our

when President Roosevelt said:
We do not need to abandon our de-

Sketches Life OF HiIlman
Mr.. Taylor sketched the life of
Sidney Hillman, detailing his va
rious activities in this country 7
from the time he came from Lithu- /
ania in 1907 and became a clerk in
a mail order house up to his pre-
sent position as head of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers Union,
Of the c. /. o.. and of the American
Labor Party in New York State.
Mr.. Taylor continued:
