“...REMINISCENCES OF DANIEL DE LEON. 43 thing. On the whole he seemed to favor a special conven- tion, doubtless because he felt the urge to meet and annihi- late these fellows, as surely he would have done had the con- vention been decided iipon in a regular constitutional man- ner. I did not see the situation in that light at all, not believ- ing for a second that the S. L. P. membership could be stam- peded into voting for a special convention demanded by such men employing such methods. De Leon sizes up Curran quite correctly when he says the man hoped that the N. E, C. make the mistake of refusing to call for a general vote as that would have given him an opening to call a rump convention. De Leons next letter reads; Milford, Ct., July 8, 1902. morning your two letters en- I am glad to see they do not the Party. They make a show I would close my eyes at the false pretense, and call the thing simply irregular. Let them come to the convention. But I urge you not to oppose the holding of...”

“... so that Chase can initiate the correspondence should the stenog- rapher not be as prompt as he promised. CONVENTION MEMBERS AND SYMPATHIZERS WANT THE RE- PORT. The Coates-Simons clique maneuvred to take the stenographic report from our hands and then pigeon-hole it We foiled them. ^ would suggest that certain episodes of the con- vention report be given the right of way. Haywood also is of that opinion, seeing that it would otherwise take very long before those episodes would appear in the regular course. The episodes are the following in the following order: a) Ratification meeting; b) Episode on the exclusion of law- yers; c) Episode of speechesDebs, I, etc.; d) Episode of debate on adoption of preamble. I have arranged with the stenographer for this sequence, subject to Chases decision, he, possibly finding practical or...”

“...REMINISCENCES OF DANIEL DE LEON. 63 Natural History of Mr. Frank Bohn A purpose of future usefulness will be served if we now digress a little and devote a little space to the further evolu- tion of Mr. Frank Bohn. Having ceased to be the National Secretary, he continued for a time to linger in the Partys ranks, intending to use it, it may be supposed, as a fisherman uses a pond. In the fall of that same year, 1908, the regular state election was due in New York state and, in due time, the S. L. P. held its nominating convention. Bohn was a delegate to that convention, and so was I. Many of us sus- pected that for a good while past he had maintained close connections with S. P. circles and that he was plotting, but he had not yet been unmasked and could still obtain the votes of unsuspecting members. But "as murder will out, so did he have to show his hand in the end, and he did so at the time of this convention. On my way to the meeting room on the top floor of the Daily People building...”

The only two that did publish it are on the rocksthe Wage Slave has wildly cast anchors to windward and is trimming its sails for readers.

“...in the evening found him at the open-air meetings, where large crowds were waiting to hear the Old Man, as De Leon came to be known in the 16th Assembly District. In the same year (1897) Lucien Sanial was the mayoralty candidate of the Socialist Labor Party in Greater New York. The vote of the party in the first election under the charter of the Greater City was 16,000. There was quite a scramble among the old party politicians for the spoils that lay in waiting for the victors. Besides the regular nominations by Tammany Hall and the Republican Party, there was Seth Low, president of Columbia University, in the field, nominated for mayor by...”

“...this revolution in the S. L. P. To this day I remember every line: (Wir saszen so froehlich beisammen.) We sat all so snugly together. And held one another so dear; We gave each a lift in his business. Had that lasted the coast had been clear; But it could not forever remain thus, A malevolent fate cut it short, That Cuckoo, De Leon, the old cuss. Kicked us out and himself holds the fort. First Attempt at Physical Force On July 8, 1899, the general committee of Section Nev York was to hold its regular meeting and elect officers for the ensuing six months. The meetings of the general committee were then held at the Labor Lyceum, so-called, a sort of party headquarters for the city. At a previous time officers of the national organizations had also been in this building. On the ground floor was a saloon, above the portals of which was written in large gilt letters the legend, Labor Lyceum, and in still larger letters, Beer Tunnel. On the floor above the beer tunnel was the meeting hall for the...”

“...be two Socialist parties in the field in the 16th A. R. came true. De Leon received fifteen hundred votes, or five hundred less than the year before. The Social Democratic candidate running against De Leon received two hundred votes. Prince was re-elected,Tammany was saved. The joy in the Tammany camp and in the Volkszeitung camp was unbounded. The Socialistische Liedertafel made ready to sing at the funeral of the Socialist Labor Party; how many kegs of beer were consumed in addition to the regular supply only God and the brewing company know. They were a sadly disappointed Liedertafel, for the Socialist Labor Party...”

“...methods more pronounced. Overall Brigade at 1908 Convention Finally, it was announced that the Overall Brigade was coming in force from the Far West to attend the convention. This Overall Brigade was really not what the name would seem to imply, namely, men in their working clothes, but con- sisted of that element that traveled on freight trains from one Western town to the other, holding street meetings that were opened with the song, Hallelujah, Im a Bum, and closed with passing the hat, in regular Salvation Army fashion. The Overall Brigaders," though they traveled in box cars where conductors do not collect fares, were nevertheless upholders of organized labor ethicsthey would only steal rides on railroad lines that employed union men and would rather walk the ties than patronize a scab road. It is safe to say, however, that the directors of such scab railroad lines did not consider a boycott by the Overall Brigaders a serious blow. While the Overall Brigade was on its way to Chicago...”
