Title	Borland, W. P 1930-02-23
Abstract	Letter to Theodore Debs, 02/23/1930. Says that he has been thinking back to the old Social Democracy of America days. Writes that he can still see Laurence Gronlund slowly starving to death from lack of clothes. Tells Theodore Debs that he remembers Joe Swerzgen who was a life saver whenever he made a "killing in the wheat pit." Mentions that he remembers Little Johnson James Hogan, John F. Lloyd, Cyrus Field Willard, Seymour Stedman, Sylvester Keliher, Joe Finn, and George Koop. Says that they were all "filled with the enthusiasm of evangelists, and out to remake the world in the interest of the common man." Remarks that he met Victor Berger quite frequently when he was a member of Congress. Mentions that when he last saw Seymour Stedman he was in some trouble. Asks that Theodore Debs give him the addresses of A. S. Edwards and John Lloyd. Remarks that he heard that John Lloyd became a Christian Scientist. Writes that the labor movement is a "dud." Tells Theodore Debs that William Green is the "greatest fat head that ever was indicted into a position of leadership in the labor movement." Says that the labor leaders have become "obsessed with the idea of co-operating with their masters." Mentions that he is now 70 and is going to retire in 2 years.
