BIRTH OF TRADE UNIONISM

The triumph of Upton Sinclair in California, con- ceded even by his enemies to be the result of the way in which his EPIC Plan has caught 'the'imagination of liberal and radical thought in the State, is practically the sole topic of discussion in political circles throughout the THE POLPUDDLE

country.

Most of the newspapers confess themselves flab- bergasted by the Sinclair nomination for the governor- ship of the State, and the conservative journals in Cali- fornia and other parts of the country metaphorically attempt to chill the blood of their readers by visualising the perils contained in the Sinclair political doctrines.

derer thought sees possibilities in the Sinclair "Epic" Plan, and it is significant that Mr. Henry Wallace, the Secretary of Agriculture, in a statement to the Press at Memphis, endorsed the Sinclair plan for using idle lands and factories for the unemployed.
