The tremu- lous fears of the millionaire winter resort city’s bourgeoisie lest the head of the American Federation of Labor say something radical were unfound- ed. What the character of his speech- es were is best illustrated by the ac- counts of them in the capitalist news- papers of this city of parasites.
