In tha consideration and discussion of all matters coming before tho convention, It is my earnest hope that acrimonious debate will be entirely eliminated and that w ehall stand united la an earnest effort to nerve our people aaJ to secure for them o larger mraaure of tho fruit of their toll, that when wo leave Indianapolis our organisation. may haws regained any prestige last as the result of the tnterminal dlseensfam and that oven those unI friendly to lsborjtisy be Mtiaffed that Mm Vnlled Mia Workers of Amreicn ! n sene.
