Political Movement Distinct The movement for a new political organization is entirely distinct from the labor convention. The men back of it, many of whom are delegates to the convention, are merely employing this opportunity to get together and formulate plans to launch the party at a later date.

With the arrival of Samuel Gompers, president of the STXry tSat Offers Opened by Dock Com- tnere was no ornciai connection De- tween the convention and the proposed new party.
