Following Mr. Trcfz Mr. Edward Hose-
water spoke, giving his idea of tho labor
movement nnd tlio benefits whlh It has
brought to the wage-earner. Mr. Res;-
water's speech, In substance, appears is;
whorc In The Ilcc,
August Iiecrmun went Into the qucs I a3
of labor from the socialist standpoint, tak
ing the first speaker to tusk for saying
that their contentlousjcould not be settled
by political action. Ho called attention
to (.he catholicity' of the socialist movement
and. said that America was behind oth'.r'
countries In this- "movement'. "Tho middle
clnss," said tho ' speaker, rM domicd to
destruction. There nro but; two active
classes In this country today, the capltalltit
class and the producing class! We do not
want to destroy cither men or properly.
What we want to do is., to liberate thJ
natural man and cnslavo the Iron nun
who has been created In later years and
who Is oblo to do tho work of a dozen
actual men. We Would not destroy the
trusts or tho department storos, for tie.
arc more economical systems of manu
facture and distribution and tho socialist

In toll, but wo wnn( that decrease to come
for tho benefit" of all and not to result In
bringing starvation to thoso thrown out of
employment."
Sir. Ilayoe of KfHrnry.
He won followed by J. A. Boycc of Kear
ney, who also spoke from a socialistic
standpoint, prophenylng that the social
labor party would show a surprising growth
In tho state at the coming election. "Tito,

parties tell you to keep out of politics,
while jou nre already In politics to four

opponents. What you want to do is to

A. A. Perry made n short talk, In wMch
ho devoted his tlmo to showing that dliect

and ho was followed by Bernard McCafftry,,
who strongly denied this assertion and

a certain millionaire says that wealth do03

after they have accumulated enough for this
