The fight between the socialists and the Henry George wing of the United Labor party increases in bitterness. The building trades section of the Central Labor Union at its meeting on Friday took a very decided stand in favor of the action of Mr. McMackin against that of the socialistic labor men. The proceedings in the Eighth Assembly district showed that the socialistic element is in the ascendant in that locality, and that the same condition of affairs was very apparent at the meeting in the Tenth Assembly district on the same evening.
