LABOR.
We demand that no law shall ever be
enacted restraining or abTidging 'he
development Of our natural resources ana
We guarantee 10 the people freedom OF Put-
suit and the inalienable right TO enjoy tne
full value OF all the property mat 'heit
labor produces. We hold ~ a. one OF 'he
truisms Of human existence add modern
progress and enterprise, that capital n
labor should 60 band in baud in the
General Advancement, happiness and good
Of this great con on wealth. Therefore
we claim thai, capital and labor should
| stand on an equal footing before the law,
and that the laborer should always receive
a fair compensation for 9 fair days work.
That both capital and labor have the legal
and unuuestionable right 20 organize LOT
mutual protection and seif preservation.
We believe that q National and 9 State
Board Of Labor Commissioners should be
created by law aud made elective by the
people TO whom all questions in dispute
between capital and labor should be re-
ferred aud that both parties concerned be
compelled to srbitrate aud that the decis-
ion OF such Board Of Labor Commission
ers be fnsl and binding alike on the EN-
ployer IND the employees.
OBEDIENCE TO THE LAWS REQUIRED BY ALL.
We denouuce the criminal suspension OF
the laws OF Congress by the President

man Silver Brliion Purchasing Act; the
Geary Act providing for the deportation OF
unregistered Chinese, when its consiitu-
tiopality has been affirmed by the Supreme
Court, and his neglec, and refusal TO en-.
force the Anti-irus, and Interstate Com
merce Acts against wealthy offenders.

ment. We demand the Acknowledgement
OF both parties to the crime, and the
punishment OF the prisoner by fne and
imprisonment. The franchise once sold

The establishment Of q lottery in this
State would be a blot upon the people and
