Abstract |
Copy of letter from Eugene V. Debs, 01/15/1919. Writes that he appreciated the invitation to attend the Tom Mooney National Labor Congress. Tells Ault that he will not be able to attend the conference because he is in the custody of the federal court and is not permitted to go to Chicago, Illinois. Says that although there is free speech in Russia it does not exist in the United States since the "world has been made safe for democracy." Remarks that the conservative element of the convention has the "unqualified support of the capitalist press" which means he is for the "radicals." Argues that the time for resolutions has long passed and that there needs to be some kind of action. Says that the "convention must demand Tom Mooney's unconditional release, giving due notice that if that fails a general strike will follow." |
