M tT ON LAItOR
It was expected that Herr Most
would meet delegated of the Federa
tion of Labor at their hull last n'ght
for iho purpose of an Interchange tf
vi > wi on the labor question. This
meotlpit did not t&ko plsoo. Most
waited lit his hotel to bo sent fcr by a
committee , but a stormy debate took
pisco In the Federation , starting from
the book binder'union , Bomo express
ing the fear that thoqnestions of dyna
mite and violence might bo brought
up should such meeting take place.
The diicnisinn ended in a disruption
ciusod by the outspoken expressions
of knownothinglstn , Herr Mott )
aupp-irtors bolng mcstly Girmnn nd

ment at the hall the president and
eight of the delegate D visited Most at
the hotel , wbero there waa itlretdy as

bricklayers' union moved that the as
semblage con * ider itself a meotlcg of
"individual workiugmeu , not repre
senting any unions or societies " This
waa carried , and Herr Most waa re
quested to state his views on the labor
qieatlon , which ho did In a ton min
utes' speech , delivered in English.
A great part of Most's speech waa devoted -
voted to defence of himself against
the newspapers which , he said , had
charged him with advising murder ,
robbery , the burning of granaries ,
destruction of labor saving machinery
and the division of all capital among
the poor. He said : "They call ma
murderer because I said it would be

The capitalists in this country , h
said , would not give up their prlvl

the proceeding should have been con

which this Indictment Is brought was
considered by two previous grand

unanimously ignored it , and was
