bers for under $500.
If ever mortal man loved hu-
manity completely and gave him
self to it altogether unselfishly, that
man was Eugene Victor Debs. And
surely no great American leader has
been more revered in turn, more idol
lied, by so many people of his time
for so long span of years. For the
generation that knows him only by
hearsay or through fragmentary read
ing, here is new biography and
fresh assessment, eulogistic yet schol-
arly, written by young man of this
day for those who remember and for
those who should know.
What determines the course of a
mans thinking? In 1880 the en-
bryonic labor leader Debs deplored
strikes and believed that labor and
capital should and could cooperate.
Twelve years later out of the crucible
Of bitter battle experiences with rail-
road officials, he had reached the po-
sition "What is strike? The answer
is war. And what is war? Resistance
to wrong :. And who but the enemy
of organized labor would advocate
the enactment of law that so much
as squints at depriving organized
labor of the only weapon it possesses
of maintaining its rights against
those whose policy is oppression?"
Passionately devoted to the interests
of the poor, the downtrodden, the
working people everywhere; finally
and conclusively convinced of the
class struggle; believing firmly in po-
itical action-it was inevitable that
Debs became part of the Socialist
Party. Always faithful to what he be-
ieved the basic goals of socialism, he
often differed with Party officials
and campaign platforms through the
years. This same steadfastness to |
principle led to his arrest during |
he hysteria of the first World War
period. Thus he attained the dubious
distinction of being the first and only

The new state group is asking each
of it's affiliated locals to name one
member for the state executive board
of the organization. When this is
done, permanent officers will be Sc

The association plans to have quar-

candidate for the Presidency to cam
paign from prison.
Throughout his career Debs fought
for unity within the labor movement,
and for industrial unionism as the
logical method for it's achievement.
Much labor has gained up to this
day stems directly from his efforts,
though at the time so many battles
seemed to culminate in nothing but
tragic defeat.

understanding of farm problems, nor

the people and from them he drew
his sustenance. Writes Ginger: ellis
