LABOR.
We demand That no Law shall ever De
| enacted restraining or abridging the
development o. our natural resources ana
wo guarantee to the people freedom OF pnr-
| suit and the inaiicnAble right 10 enjoy the
full value Of ell the property that Their
labor produces. We hold IL 40 one OF ihe
truisms Of human existence snd modern
progress aud enterprise, that capital and
labor should 60 hand In baud in the
general advancement, hsppiness and GOOD
Of this great COMMONWEALTH. Therefore
We claim that capital ana labor should
stand On an equal footilg before the law
ana that the lsborer should always receive
a fair compensation fer q fair days work.
That both cspiial aud labor have the legal
and uncomfortable Tight 70 organize Tor
mutual protection and self preservation.
We believe that q National and q state
Board Of Labor Commissioners should be
created BIZ law aud made elective BY TIE
people TO whom all questions In dispute
between capital and labor should be re
ferred aud that both parties concerned be
compelled to srbitrs,e and that the decis-
ion Of such Board OF Labor Commission
ers be final and binding alike on the IN
pioyer aud The employees.
o~nEDIEScE TO THE LAWS REQUIRED BY ALL.
We denouuce The criminal suspension Of
the avs Of Congress by the President

man Silver Bullion Purchasing Act; the
Gesry Act providing for the deportation OF
unregistered Chinese, when its constitu-
t~ionsliiy has been affirmed by the Sopreme
Court, and bis neglect and refusal to en-
force the Antitrust and Interstate Com
merce Acts against wealthy offenders.
ELECTIVE FRANCHISE.

o. both parties TO the crime, and the

~imprisonment. The franchise once sold

LOTTERIES.
The establishment Of . lottery in this
State would be a blot upon the people and
would result in financial and moral de
gradaiion. Therefore. in the language Of

sale Of lottery tickets be allowed w
condemn IN equal terms all Legislatures
Of this State which have attempted to legis
