That was shortly before the 1907 panic. Foster was then a member of the socialist party and took an active part in what was to be the first left wing fight, as a leading left winger. Foster still has three sisters living in Portland, and having lived there himself for almost twelve years, he now returned to his old “stamping ground” as the Commu- nist candidate for president. Meeting Is Enthusiastic. The Foster meeting held in Port-| land on Sunday night, Sept 28, was the most successful and most enthu- | siastic meeting yet held on Foster’s Pacific Coast trip. The Oddfellow’s Hall was filled to capacity by an au- admissioneach. District Organizer Nor- man H. Tallentire presided at the meeting. A collection of almost two hundred dollars was taken and almost fifty dollars worth of literature was sold. For a solid two hours Foster anal- yzed and pilloried the capitalist insti- tutions and the political organizations of the capitalist class, the leaders of the political groups in the present campaign. He paid special attention to Robert-M. LaFollette. From begin- ning to end of Foster's speech the au- dience was riveted with attention. embankment. France Continues to Decline.

Foster said, in conclusion: “Private ownership of industry is the social cancer which is forcing workers into lives of poverty and misery. “Unemployment is the sign of the breakdown of the capitalist system. There is no cure for unemployment, but the abolition of the wages sys- tem. This can only come about thru the organization of Soviets and the dictatorshiop of the proletariat.

Win Sympathetic Case. SYDNEY, New South Wales—The conspiracy case against seven union officials of the Transport Workers’ group of the Labor Council of New. South Wales, collapsed suddenly. They were arrested in connection with the holding up of the steamer Port Lyttelton in Sydney harbor. They refused to allow members of their un- ions to work on the vessel unless she was made seaworthy, after striking a rock. The vessel was held up at Syd- ney for six months because the union- ists refused to carry out the repairs till certain members of the crew were released from jail.

P, DEBATES WITH S. L, P. IN KANSAS CITY Sak Speech Turned Into Debate By GEORGE McLAUGHLIN | (Special to the DAILY WORKER) | | KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 7.—Verne L. Reynolds, candidate for vice president on the socialist labor party | |ticket was slated to speak at the) Bookbinders’ Hall in Kansas City. | | When he arrived he found about thir-| |ten people in thé hall. He was given }a dodger announcing the Workers Party Gitlow meeting which is to take place at thé Musicians’ Hall, 1017) Washington St., Tuesday, Oct. 14, 8 p.) m. He straightway challenged the) Workers Party to a debate. The challenge was accepted by Comrade J. Mihelic. Reynolds thereupon said he wished to give his regular talk first and after he finished the time would be split up for the debate, each speaker |speaking once. The subject of the debate was to be resolved: That the program of the socialist labor party is correct and that of the Workers Party is wrong. Altho Reynolds said he would cut his regular talk short so as to give more time for the debate, he spoke exactly one hour and forty- five minutes. About one hour of it was taken up with the cheapest kind |of slander on Wm. Z, Foster and the Workers Party. Mihelic Replies in 30 Minutes. Reynolds seemed to be trying to crawl out of the debate and when he | finished his regular talk he said it is getting late and suggested that Com- rade Mihelic be given 30 minutes and said he would not take more than 15 minutes to reply, Altho Reynolds or- iginally was supposed to speak first, Comrade Mihelic accepted this latter arrangement and proceeded to pepper the socialist labor program full of holes, leaving personalities entirely |out of it. Speaking of the I. W. W. Reynolds in his regular speech had said it was wrong because there was a eapitalist man-made law in the way that would first have to be changed by the ballot box. Previous to that he had accused the Workers Party and socialist party of being alike in trying to use the capitalist machinery of government. Comrade Mechlic pointed out this con- tradiction as well as many others. Comrade Mihelic spoke only 25 min- utes but when he had finished altho Reynolds said at the start of the de- bate he only required 15 minutes he proceeded to take 35. The first 15 of it was taken up with the rankest kind of meaningless slander on Foster and the last ten was a general slander on the Workers Party. The rest con- sisted of a bunch of meaningless phrases. Because Reynolds had taken 35 minutes Comrade Mihelic requested five minutes in which to reply. What Does S. L. P. Do? He defended Foster and the Work- ers Party splendidly and pointed out that when the big steel strike was on, the socialist labor party stayed in the background instead of making good among the masses. . Reynolds had wasted a lot of time during his regular speech and also in the debate splitting hairs and drawing pretty pictures of just how the indus- trial socialism was to be organized and how it would work He also said the Workers Party could not explain this point. “Why don’t you explain it yourself,” challenged Comrade Mihelic and after firing a broadside at Reynolds's silly argument Mihelic pointed out that in the recent railroad strike a Kansas City socialist labor party man scabbed on his fellow workers using the same argument as Reynolds, “We have got to break up the American Federation of Labor.” “This is the type of rats who are going around the the country slander- ing Foster and the Workers Party and it’s a strange thing indeed that we find Sam Gompers, John, L. Lewis, the socialist party, LaFollette, the capital- ist press and the socialist labor party issuing the same arguments against the Workers Party,” conéluded Com- rade Mihelic. Still Reynolds was not satisfied and took 15 minutes more rehashing the same line of bunk as before. In the debate Reynolds took in all 50 min* utes as against 30 taken by Comrade Mihelic and he made a very sorry showing thruout even tho he is one of the standard bearers of his party. On leaving the hall I bot a copy of the socialist party weekly paper and I find that altho it is only a weekly, two-thirds of it is filled up with the same kind of cheap slander used by Reynolds and this is how the socialist labor party proposes to educate the working class.
