ha afa
speeches were made on the subject a series of
resolutions were adopted deprecating the long
labor per day of the operatives, and asking for
pledge OF factory operatives to vote only for
ten-hour men for Representatives and senators:
denouncing the non attention for the past
twenty-five years to the petitions TO them on the
subject of labor reforms that we regard the
recent changes made by Gov. Washburn in the
bureau of labor, after his proposition to lift this
department to a higher level, as a swindle upon
the labor organization OF the most atrocious
ard offensive character, and his denomination
by the republican party, and Indifference of
the democratic organizations to the crime
against labor, We shall regard as an additional
evidence that we have nothing whatever to hope
from either of these two parties that they have
been captured by capitalist classes, as the whig
and democratic organizations we're controlled
by southern slave-owners.
