"That was what I understood from that Mr. Chrysostom Cyril, he wants me to call him, but I can't quite make up my mouth to it who speaks English, and says he has been in England.

One day in early spring, March 26, 1863, the Minister requested his private secretary to attend a Trades-Union Meeting at St. James's Hall, which was the result of Professor Beesly's patient efforts to unite Bright and the Trades-Unions on an American platform.
The danger lies in the obtaining control of the trades-unions by the socialists."
