Socialist Labor Leader Lecture Disrupted in Bridgeport
Adolph Silver, Socialist Labor representative of New York City, presided over a Machinists hall gathering here yesterday when a heckler sparked a near riot over party aims. Silver argued the party seeks capitalism's downfall and urged organizing seven workers to back a revolutionary shift, warning against minor concessions. The event, hosted by Bridgeport’s Socialist Labor section, drew about 100 and promised further meetings detailing steps to overthrow capitalism.

Limits on investment in home ownership urged by study
C T Moffett’s survey reported by Commercial Record warns that a family should not invest more than 2.5 times its fixed yearly income in a home. The study targets families earning 1500 to 5000 dollars annually and suggests caps on housing costs and heated versus unheated quarters. It argues a house meeting modern suburban standards costs at least 3750 dollars, equal to 2.5 times a 1500 dollar income, and that those earning under 1500 must rent cheaply rather than buy a house under 2500 dollars.
