Labor party convention in Chicago falters amid low attendance
The first national Labor party convention drew 728 credentialed delegates, but many faded away. Not one of 124 international unions attended, and only 642 of 34 000 local AFL unions plus 6 000 independents sent delegates. A Boston delegate reported about 80 percent were Socialists. Delegates from the Nonpartisan League led by Governor Frazier deserted. The platform echoed other radical groups. When Ellis Island investigated radicals, the committee faced a tarred crowd and a hunger strike. Frederic C. Howe, ex-immigration chief, showed sympathetic views toward the reds. More on him may come.

Nagging Seldom Pays in Workplace Encouragement
A dated aphorism suggests encouragement yields better work than constant nagging. It argues that a man who is nagged continually becomes less valuable to any employer or team.
