decision has been filed in Duluth, where the
case was brought, and copies were filed

DENVER, Col, Dec. 21.-The Rocky

Samuel Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor, asking him to outline
the plans of his organization for Independent
political action. The following response was
received:
THE plans for our political action in the
interest of labor are only in a tentative
state at present. The American Federation
of Labor proposes, however, to take such
political action as will compel the law
makers, the executives and the judiciary to
enact, to enforce and to define laws in the
interest of our people. We shall elect our
own representatives wherever possible and
at all times defeat the enemies of our cause
irrespective of party. To achieve these pur
poses however, we realize that it is neces-
sary for the workers of our country East,
West, North and South to unite and feder-
ate and concentrate our entire efforts to at
tain the greatest success.
