provide lectures on Socialism for clubs, trade unions, forums and other
organizations not otherwise connected with the school. For years this

constantly at work prejudicing them against Socialism and arraying
them against organized labor.

"The Socialists must make energetic efforts to counteract these
baneful influences and to reach the foreign workers with their
propaganda.

"The Socialist Party has branch organizations among all, or almost
