Show WILL SPEAK FROM SOAP BOX Phil Engcls, who for tho past eighteen eight-een years has been urging the working work-ing class to revolt against capitalism and set up the industrial democracy of Socialism, will make another appeal ap-peal to tlia workers this evening from a soap box at the corner of Hudson avonue and Twenty-fifth street. Engels is not a polished orator, and makes no attempt to gain re-known re-known as a rhetorical aviator. "I'm talking a bread and butter proposition proposi-tion to the worgers," Is the way he I put it, "and the workers have had (enough oratory that's all the speak-rers speak-rers for the old parties have ever given giv-en them. Vm trying to give them something solid, something that has real meaning and real hope in It. Tho working class Is more awakt to their Interests now than over before in the history of the country. With tho same effort I have sold twice as much Socialist literature this summer as ever btfore." Engels savs he does not believe In any of the "netty reforms" that are now sweeping the country "I'm not talking reforms,' he says, "nothing "noth-ing but the complett abolition of capitalism cap-italism is going to help the workers." Before Engels began street speaking, speak-ing, he says, he was an actor and played for a number of years with Fannie Herring and other old-time stage favorites. He has spoken in this city before but not for the past vear. He is now on his way to Po-catello Po-catello and other Idaho cities, but will remain in Ogden for two nights |
