THE LABOR PARTY
“As a matter of fact, the thing most
at stake at this convention is the rela
tion of the A. F. of L. to tho Ameri
c::i labor movement. The much ad
vertised William Z. Foster, organizer
of the steel workers, symbolizes the
ii ;ue. It does not appear that the
ra dicals heve yet succeeded in stamp
ing the convention, but it is evident
they are in streng force in the or
ganization and are determined to gain
control of it in the end if they can and
oust conservative trades unionism. As
the I. W. W. is the principal enemy of
the A. F. of L. in labor circles, the
► natural deduction is easy.”—Detroit
Free Press.
“One may get an idea of what is
intended by some details proposed by
the founders of the National Labor
Party as set forth in certain resolu
tions. Omitting the protest against
the massacre of Jews in certain of
he newfangled republics of Eastern
Europe, they are, in part as follows:
Impeachment of a Federal judge for
declaring the law as he understood it.
Demanding release of E. V. Debs,
Kate L. Hare, Carl Heissler, and ‘1,
000 others’ now in jail for crimes of
which they were duly convicted in
pursuance of law. Demanding new
trial for Thomas Mooney and Warren
K. Billings, convicted of murder. In
itiative and referendum and recall of
National elections. Abolition of the
United States Senae. Maximum
hours and minimum wages fixed by
law. Repeal of espionage and other
‘repressive’ laws. Nationalization of
basic industries. All Government
work to be done by day labor. It is
perhaps desirable to know by the votes
cast how many of our fellow citiznes
hold such views.”—San Francisco
Chronicle.
“The commendable thing about the
Labor party of the United State*, the
organizaion of which has begun in
Chicago, is that it proposes to attack
our Governmental system in orderly
and constitutional manner. It is so
radical, however, as disclosed by the
platform of principles which it has
adopted, that there is little else to
differentiate it from the “Reds” who
would overthrow the Government by
force. That platform, we may be sure,
will condemn it in the sight of the
majority of the very people whose
support at the polls it hopes to se
cure. And most of those who would
approve the objects sought will con
demn the method of procedure. Con
sequently we may confidently expect
tht the Labor party of the United
States will not attain any considerable
growth. There is no necessity for it.
Adoption of its principles, so far as
they are or may become acceptable to
the country, will be delayed by this
venture in political party organiza
tion. Instead of revealing a wide
spread demand for the changes which
it demands, its appeal to the country
, will disclose how very few are the
number which adhere to such a gro
tesque platform. And that will be the
death of the party.”—Pittsburg Ga
zette-Times.
“Not much hope for the permanent
influence of a Labor party can be en
tertained when our system in other
V respects conforms to the geographical
principles. Success for it in a na
tional election would mean the control
of the Government by a single class
with no responsibility and small rep
resentation for other classes. It
would mean Government of, by and
for labor, not Government of, by and
for the people. Still, under the
changed conditions of the present a
Labor party might gain considerable
temporary support and draw enough
votes from other parties to exert a
decided effect on the result of one or
more elections. Third parties, as they
are called, have generally been short
lived in this country, but it must not
be supposed that they have been un
important for that reason. On the
contrary, they have been enabled to
exert a profound influence in shaping
the permanent policies of the country
•<",*’*and they have been short-lived be
cause the older parties have adopted
their platforms and left them no rea
son for existance. Third parties of
progressive tendencies are always to
be welcomed.—St. Louis Post-Dis

Why not make this Christmas Mothers’ Christmas? Santa Claus never
forgets the Kiddies, but he has so many Kiddies’ presents to look after that jj
sometimes he neglects the Kiddies’ Mothers. This year he has made our store | j
his headquarters for MOTHERS CHRISTMAS, and he wants every Mother
to have a real Christmas. He has sent all sorts and kinds of things Mothers ;
I delight in; things that Mothers long for but never have because she can get 123
* along somehow. She would rather see Jimmy have a new sled, or Dad get jl
that new time saver for the farm, store or office. She can do without her
time savers just a little longer and “get along somehow.” jj
You Jimmies and Fathers, why not surprise Mother once? Why not |
send in your order to Santa Claus for some of those time savers for Mother; ;
or some of those pretty, useful gifts she would like to have but foregoes be- j j
cause she is unselfish enough to want you to have all the things you want.
