show that the resale price of collars
was unnecessarily high. On an ad

yesterday. Two would-be thieves came
along and tried to drive away, but
the electrical system got short cir
cuited with the horn wires, and the I
horn started, while the car did not.
The prolonged "toot" attracted
pedestrians who did not know that
the men in the car were interlopers.
The pedestrians gave advice, and the
men grew nervous. Then Dr. Abbott
heard the familiar sound, looked out
and came out, and the men took to
their heels. The doctor cut the horn

phoned, his report to the police,
WASHINGTON, Feb. t. Definite
plans for the first nation-wide, ag
gressive political campaign by or
ganised labor to control congress and
elect friendly national and state offi
cials have been made by a committee
of the American Federation of Labor,
and will be announced soon. The
fight, .labor officials declared today,
will be bi-partisan, and will be
launched in the coming presidential
primaries.
Organisation details have been
formulated by a committee composed
of the executive council and depart
ment presidents of the Federation,
which has been in session for two
days. Samuel Gompers said tonight
that an explanation of the move
ment wouM be made public tomorrow.
The committee formulating plans was
appointed by Gompers In accordance
wtth instructions to the general lapor
conference here last December 13, to
put into effect the "declaration of
principles" adopted at that time. -
Foe in Congress Attacked.
Representatives in congress whose
records show them to be unfriendly
to organized labor, it was said by
members cf the committee, will be
opposed vigorously for re-election,
and new candidates hostile to labor's
interests will meet the same opposi
tion. Every craft affiliated with
the Federation will be called upon to
Join in the fight, it was added, and
congressional districts will be active-
canvassed, and an army of organ-
zers will be put in the field. The
Federation now claims a membership
of more than 4,000,000.
In addition, the campaign will be
carried into state and local primaries
and elections, and an attempt made
to obtain governors. Judges and legis
lators well disposed toward labor.
Labor leaders explained that while
an effort would be made to enlist the
support of the farmers, no third party
movement is considered advisable. No
attempt to reach an agreement with
national farm organizations will be
made, but the appeal will be ad
dressed directly to the workers them
selves, it was said.
Brotherhood Avoids Question.
The co-operation of friendly state
and local farm organizations, how
ever, is hoped for, particularly In
North Dakota, Minnesota and adjoin
ing states where the Non-partisan
league has gained a hold, and In New
York, South Carolina and other states
having strong farmers organizations.
Chiefs of the four big railroad
brotherhoods now in Washington for
wage conferences with the director-
general shied at any political discus
sion when asked today if the railroad
employes were aligned with the fed
eration In the contemplated fight
Warren S. Stone, chief of the loco
motive engineers, said that he bad
been too busy with other matters and
had talked to no one regarding the
projected scheme.
On the other hand the week's issue
of "Labor," the official organ of the
Plumb plan league, will have as its
leading editorial a call to "90,000.000
wage earners and farmers" to organ
ize now to elect their quota of .con
gressmen.
Workers Wanted la Congress.
H. E. Wills, chairman of the legis
lative committee of the brotherhoods,
and L. E. Sheppard, president of the
conductors, are members of the ed
itorial board of Labor.
The editorial declares that there
should be at least 200 workers and
farmers in congress, instead of the
lawyers, the bankers, the trust bar
ons and the mine operators now
holding seats.
'Labor and the farmer have the
votes," the editorial says, "They only
eed to mobilize these votes for re
sults. They should begin to organize
ow. It will be too late after the
primaries close. And there never was
greater reason for such a union and
for such an action than now."
The editorial condemns the return
of the railroads to private ownership,
universal military training, interven
tion in Mexico, anti-strike legisla
tion and a new alien and sedition law.
Privilege, it says, wants "an at
torney-general of its own choosing,
so it can put men in Jail for even dis
cussing the right to strike." ..
. "In a republican district a man
should be nominated who can be re
lied upon to oppose these things," it
continues. "In a democratic district
a democrat should be nominated who
will oppose these things."
