Spargo Replies to Bryan in Socialist Critique
New York Aug 27 John Spargo Socialist leader and author sends a pointed letter to Bryan. He calls Bryan's Indianapolis appeal for Socialist votes a bold futile bid and argues the South shows enduring abuses. Spargo notes Democratic judges and employers aligned with Republicans and says the 1896 labor plank was more progressive. He ends that there is no place in the Democratic party for true social reformers. Also mentions a party group planning a trip to Atlantic City New York and Philadelphia with no national campaign invitation extended to Governor Hughes.

Pittsburg Railroads Seek Large Supplies for Box Car Repairs

An agent on the Wheeling and Lake Erie will ensure timely deliveries as inventories from June and July showed uneven stock across divisions. 300 shopmen were reinstated at Pitcairn Verona and Ormsby to repair cars, and Western lines request surplus cars from Eastern lines to handle next month's grain traffic.
