THOMAS WILL TALK AT UNION MEETING

Was a Member of Cabinet During the Terms of Roosevelt--Thomas Intimate With Working Conditions

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Among the coming political speakers, at the Union are Amos Pinchot, formerly a member of the cabinet of President Theodore Roosevelt '80, now a Democrat, and Norman Thomas, the Socialist candidate for president.

Mr. Pinchot will speak at 1.15 o'clock tomorrow under the auspices of the Smith-Robinson club at a meeting open to all members of the University. His topic will be, "The Waterpower issue, and Prohibition." Alfred E. Smith's plans for solving these questions were the reasons Mr. Pinchot has given for his becoming a Democrat.

Norman Thomas will speak at 1.15 o'clock at a luncheon to be given in his honor on Monday, which will also be open to all members of the University.

Mr. Thomas was born in Marion, Ohio, and graduated from Princeton in 1905. He then took up social work, and became intimately familiar with the living and working conditions of the laborers. During the World War he took a firm stand for Peace as an active member of the American Union against Militarism. Since then he has run a New York Socialist paper, and been prominent in the organization of the party, and the conducting of strikes against wage cuts and injunctions. He has done a great deal to justify the Socialist party in the opinion of the world.
