Quakers Hold Meet
in Ocean City, N. J.

By a Worker Correspondent.

OCEAN CITY, N. J., July 16.—The Quakers are holding a general conference here amidst luxury and wealth.

The present day Quaker is far away from the Quaker who lived in the revolutionary age of Cromwell and who shared the dungeons and prisons with the revolutionists of that time. But a tradition still remains with them—an absolute stand against war and imperialism.

At this conference the voice of labor is being heard and a number are testifying to the decay of present-day society.

As it always happens, the labor misleader gets first say. This time it was Mr. Sidney Hillman of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America. In the fashion of a minister he told the crowds that strikes are very uncivilized methods and that labor has dropped them.

It is gratifying that even the petty bourgeoisie assembled felt the insincerity of Mr. Hillman.

Dr. Jesse H. Holmes spoke on "The Fruits of Imperialism." He told the audience that the present system of society leads to destruction of human life, and appealed to the young people to wash away present-day society. He protested against the idea that all liberal and radical ideas are supported by Russian money and demanded that the Soviet Union be recognized and America follow the example of Russia.
