The Western Labor union adopted a resolution declar- ing in favor of he immediate for nation of the labor party afiliat- ing with one of the present politi- cal parties, but moving aggressive lytocapture all Westren states for organized labor. The convention went even further than that-it directed the incoming executive board to begin the active work of forming such a party in the Vest ern states. That the step was of deep significance was easily seen, and the delegates debated the proposition during a large part of the day. But the resolution was unanimously adopted, and the new labor party may be consid- cred to have been fairly 1aun- ched.
