Leaders Confidant That Praaidant’a
Coming Msstaga to Congraaa Will
Contain Radical Demanda
for Labor.
Minneapolis, Minn., N ov. 12.— That
the convention o f the Am erican Fed
eration o f Labor, which opens in this
city this morning, w ill go on record
In favor o f an aggressive political pol
icy seems assured. From all parts o f
the country d elega tes are bringing in
reports o f success at the polls at the
recent election.
So fa r these reports show that at
least five trade unionists w ill sit in
the next Congress, w h ile a great num
ber have been elected to the different
state Legislatures.
M ost pronounced have been the suc
cess o f the United M ine W orkers and
the Com m ercial T elegra p h ers' Union.
T h e miners in the anthracite dltrlct
o f Pennsylvania have elected W . B.
W ilson and T . D. N ichols to Congress
and 10 o f their members to the Btate
Legislatu re.
T h e telegraphers elected three o f
th eir m em bers to Congress in different
parts o f the country, including the
Fourth D istrict o f Illinois. In Henne
pin county, in this state, 31 out o f 39
men indorsed by labor fo r the state
Legislatu re and county officers have
been elected. T h ese successes have
whetted the appetites o f the labor men
and it is the gen eral opinion o f the
d elegates who have arrived here that
the convention w ill devote at least
tw o days to discussing a political pro.
gram.
Presiden t Gompers feels greatly en
couraged o ver the situation. H e says
h e has received scores o f letters from
men outside o f the labor m ovem ent
in which th ey declare that they n ever
before fu lly understood what the trade
unionists o f the country stood fo r in
a political way, and expressing sym
pathy with their aim s and objects.
" I t has been the greatest education
al cam paign that organized labor has
e ver conducted,” he said tonight.”
“ T h e subject is fu lly covered in the
report which I w ill submit to the
convention tom orrow , but I have no
hesitation In saying that the political
program o f the E xecu tive Council w ill
be indorsed ~by the convention. It is
but the beginning o f organized labor’s
efforts in the political aren a."
One o f the effects o f the labor politi
cal program w ill be seen in the com
ing m essage o f P residen t R oosevelt to
Congress.
A ccordin g to same labo
officials who have recen tly talked with
the President on the subject, the com
ing message w ill contain some o f the
most radical demands fo r labor that
have e v e r been made by a President
o f the United States.
