THE OMAHA BEE: TUESDAY. JULY 18. 1U22. American Labor Party Launched at New York City Organization It Designed to Supplant the Socialist and Farmer Factions With in Next Few Yean. New York, July 17. The American labor parly, patterned after the labor party o( Great Britain, was launched Sunday by the socialists, farmer laborites and trades unionist in con vention at Beethoven hall. Immediately after the new party tui started off with a whoop, a trades union delegate wlio opposed the amendment, demanded that the liiction of its repeal be submitted In a referendum. This threw the leaders of the re cently formed labor party into a panic. They feared the loss of the votes that swelled the 69.908 total cast for the farmer-labor ticket two years a (to in the "dry" sections. Happy Solution Found. A happy way out of the dilemma was found when one of the intellect uals offered a substitute providing that all amendments to the constitu tion be submitted to a referendum. This, of course, will not affect any existing amendments, but the "wet" delegate was not aware of what was being done, for he led in the demands for the innocuous substitute. ''It's nothing but a party of op portunities," said a left wing social ist, who, witl his fellows has been ostracised by the convention. To Supplant Socialists. The new party will not function as an independent political group this year, its organizers announced, but it will supplant the socialist and farmer-labor parties within the next year or two. The farmer-labor party is comparatively new. It nominated its first state ticket two years ago, with Dudley Field Malone at its head. There is little left of the old organization. A few years ago the socialists elected 10 of the 62 assemblymen from this city. Last year they elect ed but' three.
