the expense Is great compared with the
limited funds at our disposal. The fed
era ton is capable of becoming the most
powerful and efficient organization in
the state. All that it requires to attain
this position is the united support of
every trade union in the state. If
every labor organization within our
jurisdiction would but affiliate, the
funds secured from them from per
capita tax would be amply sufficient to
keep an organizer in the field through
out the entire year. As the funds now
are insufficient to do this, we are un-
able to systematically perform the work
of organization that is awaiting us. 4
Every trade union in the state that
is desirious of a complete organization
of labor in every city in the state should
be represented with full quota of dele,
gates. 1t is as essential for trade un-
ion to affiliate with state federation
as it is to affiliate with central labor
body. a., - -~. II.
