LABOR IN POLITICS (Continued from page 1) thutcr, has often been declared, but wa more clearly set forth in the declaration. unanimously adopted by the Nashville Convention of the American Federation of Labor, in 1897, and often reaffirmed since. We have been ever watchful to carry the purposes of that declaration into effect- At times we met with partial success yet, within the past few years claims and promises made in platforms or on the husting of political parties and politicians, and especially by the present dominant party, have been neith er justified nor performed. Little atten tion has been paid to the enactment of laws prepared by us and presented to Congress for the relief of those wrongs and the attainment of those rights to which labor and the common people are justly entitled and which are essentially necessary for their welfare. Several Presidents of the United States have, in their messages to Con gress, urged the passage of equitable legislation in behalf of the working peo ple, but Congress has been entirely pre occupied looking after, the interests of vast corporations and predatory wealth. : Congressmen and Senators in their frenzied rush after the almighty dollar hare been' indifferent or hostile to the rights of man. They have had no time and as little inclination to support ttie reasonable labor measures, the enact ment of which we have , urged, and which contained beneficient features for all our people without an obnoxious pro vision to any one. Patience ceased to he a virtue, and on March 21, 1908, the representatives of labor presented a bill of grievances to the President and those responsible for legislation or the failure of legislation in Congress, reciting the failure or re fusing of the party in power to'edopt or enforce legislation in the interests of the toiling millions of our country. After setting forth labor's grievances and re questing and urging early action, we clos ed that now famous documents with this statement "But if perchance you may not heed us, we shall appeal to the conscience and uppoit of our fellow-citizens."

Congress has turned a deaf ear to the voices of the masses of our peo pie; and, true to our declaration, we now appeal to the working people, aye, to all the American people unitedly to dem onstrate their determination that this Republic of ours shall continue to be of. for and by the people, rather than of, for and by the almighty dollar. - Attention is called not only to con gressional and legislative difference and hostility to the interests of labor, but lso to the interests of the large mass of all our people. The press for months has be?n burdened with exposures of the corruption and graft in high circles. The great insurance companies, the trusts, the corporations, the so-called captains of industry, have indeed become the own ers of the legislators of our country, Public officials, many of whom have the cry of "stop thief!" nearest the top of the tongue, have been elected through these very agencies and the contribu tions from them. Time Ripe For Action. If it has come to a condition in this, the greatest and wealthiest nation on earth, that the almighty dollar is to be worshipped to an extent of forgetting principle, conscience, uprightness and jus tice ,the time has arrived for labor and its friends to raise their voices in con demnation of such degeneracy, and to invite all reform forces to join with it in relegating indifference to the people's interests, corruption and graft to politi cal .oblivion; to raise the standard of legislation by the election of sincere, progress i ve a n d- h o n est men who, -while worshipping money less, will honor con science, justice and humanity more. We recommend that central bodies and local unions proceed without delay by the election of delegates to meet in con ference, oi' convention, to formulate plan lo further th interest, 0f this move ment ,aiul in accordance with the plan herein outlined at the proper time an in the "proper manner 'nominate candl date who will unquestionably stand fur the enactment Into law of Libor an progressive measures." !, The first concern 'of all should be th nositive defeat of those who have been hostile or indurerent to the just demand of labor. A , stliuiing rebuke to them will benefit not only the toilers but the people of the entire country. Wherever both parties Ignore labor' legislative demand, a straight labor win didute should 1 nominated, so that mci may have the opportunity in exercisin; their franchise to vole according to their conscience instead of being eompellei! either to refrain from voting or to vote for the candidate and the party thev must in their innermost souls de-pise. Support Friends of Labor. Where a Congressman or State I.egi 1st lire has proven himeelf a true friend to the rights of labor h should be up ported and no candidate nominated against him. This movement must not degenerate into a scramble for office. It should be determined effort, fre?, absolutely, from partisanship of every name and character, to secure the legislation we deem necessary and essential to the welfare and happiness of all our people, As the present objects of this movement are purely In the line of legislation, all efforts should be concentrated upon the election of , members of Congress ami the various State legislatures. Wherever it Is apparent that sn en tirely independent labor candidate can not be eelcted, efforts should be made to secure such support by indorsement o( candidates by the minority party in the districts and by such other progressive elements as will insure the election of labor representatives. In order to systematically carry out the policy and work necessary to this campaign, the Executive Council of the American Federation of 1-abor has se lected the following members as the "Labor Representation Committee": SAMUEL C.OMPERS, JAMES (yCOXXELL, FRANK MORRISON. Reports and returns should be made the headquartert of the Labor Rep resentation. Committee (which will be located in the offices of the American Federation of Labor), who will give the best possible information and advice on uniform precedure. . Labor Wins Own Battles. Whatever vantage ground or improved conditions have come to the workers of our country were not brought to them on silver platters; they are the result of their better organization and their higher intelligence; of the sacrifices they have made and the industrial battle-scars of many contests. The progress of the toilers has not been due to kindness or consideration at the hands of the pow ers that be, but achieved in spite of the combined bitter hostility of mendacious greed, corporate corruption, legislative ntagonism and judicial usurpation. Iljor men of America, nsncrt your ights! and in addition to strengthening your faith and loyalty to your organiza tion on the economic field, exercise your full rights of citizenship in the use of our ballot. Elect honest men to Congress and to other halls of legiHlation, and by so doing you will more completely and fully carry out your obligations as union men, and more than ever merit the re spect of your fellow-citizens. Labor demands a distinctive and larger share in the governmental affairs of our country; it demands justice; it will be satisfied with nothing less.

L.zzrl rs n rs r i- i mm PROTECT LITTLE REPUBLICS Docttins la Declaration That No Nation! Has Right to Forcibly Collect Debts Owing Its Citiiena By Another Nation. WASIIIXUTOX. July 22.-In a ondrivy place in the program of what i lotim'd to be one of the most pregnant if international guthemngs, the thirl conference of the American Republics, i set down the lhago lbn-trine so named after Is exponent, Doctor LuU M. Drapi. learned publicist of Argentina. Yet in it bearing upon the future, not only of the little republics of the Southern Hemisphere, but upon the nations of the world, even upon the greatest, in their time of misfortune and distress, it lumld easily command first place. For, according to the ideas of the originator of the doctrine, it should mean the very perpetuation of their independent na ionol existence. Reduced to its simplest terms, tlii doctrine Is a declaration that no natioi ha a right forcibly to undertake to collect debts owing to it citizen by an t her nation. And the propo-iilon lie- ore the Pan-American Conference, which t i asked to submit to the great Hague Tribunal, is, to what extent, if at all the use of force is just liable In the collection of such debt. Naturally, the qtie-rfion thus propounded is of the most vital interest to every debtor nation and most of all to the practically defencle republics of South and Central Amerk How It Came Before the Conference. The discussion of this important que tion was academic and without pecinl significance until it was suddenly, lut winter, inrust upon ihe L'oinmitlee on Program, composed of representatives of the principal American republics then in session at the State Department, conoid ering the subjects to be submitted to the Rio Conference. The first proposition was embodied in Article JV of the Pro gram, in these words: "A resolution recommending that the Second Peace Conference at The Hague be requested to consider the extent to which the use of force for the collection of public debt is admissible." But not all of the republics represented were willing to admit that it was right to use any degree of force; a bitter con test ensued in the secrecy of the commit tee room; in this case the diplomatic room at the State Department, and final ly a compromise was reached by the in sertion gf the words, "Whether, and if at all" just after the word "consider" iu the original article. But some of the South Americans arc still of the opinion that this question should not be permitted to come before The Hague Tribunal in any shape, so a spirited contest is probable as the Rio Conference discusses this proposition. In fact, Dr. Drngo, the putative author of the doctrine bearing his name, refused to represent his government in the con ferenee, because it was proposed to sub mit this American doctrine to The Hague xrinunal. pill Avertable rrcparaiionlbr As slntflatlng UttfixxinmiRcauti liiig iteSmmmitf mkllkwcb of Promc lc s DTc slio rv.Cl.rc r f ul -ncssand Itaa.Contalns neither Opnjm.Morphlne nor MktcxoL ISOT NAHCOTIC.
