MOVEMENT FOR NEW PARTY
for EnIistinE the workinEmen
of the Country Into n Gigantic
semi-PoIiticaI Organization.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 15.-A movement for
enllsting the hosts OF workingmen through
out the United States into a seml-political
organization has been launched in this city,
says the Post.
A platform said to embrace the economi-
cal and political ideas Of labor leaders and
covering the whole labor situation has been
prepared and will be presented first for APP
prevail next week before the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor.
The platform demands the abolition Of the
so-cslled political machine, the establish
ment OF government primaries where votes
may be cast for nominees as citizens and
not as members Of a machine" and the
initiative and referendum. 1t favors the
right Of recalling representatives who are
out Of touch with voters. Relief from the
trusts is suggested In the plan for 1.-THE pas
sage of an amendment to the practice laws
Of every state and the federal government
under which litigants may bring up, in any
suit in which a corporation is the plaintiff
or defendant, the question Of its right to its
franchise, whether It has usurped power
not given 1t under statute and whether it
has forfeited Its powers"
This method, II is urged, would be
productive of more good than the institu-
JlOn OF BulJS Dy IBueTal ulSJTlCJ attorneys.
Vigilance committees in every state and
large city are favored to see that the laws
are impartially administered The eight
hour day, sanitary conditions, living wages,
the repeal Of the law limiting the liabili-
ties in personal injury suits, the supplying
Of free text books to all children in the
lower grades Of public schools and the
abolition of convict labor in competition
with free men are demanded.
Limitation on the injunction powers OF
judges is asked and the popular election OF
federal judges and senators Is suggested.
In all civil trials majority verdicts are de-
sired. The plan favors the government in
stead OF banks issuing all kinds of money
and it is suggested that private individuals
be driven from banking business.
Laws are demanded restricting the issue
of capital stock, bonds and securities to any
| greater extent than the actual property
owned by corporations. Public ownership
Of public utilities is desired and state in
surancs and provisions for old age are ap-
proved. Child labor is decried and educa-
tional aids and trade unionism to keep UP
wages are approved. In closing the plat
form reads:
In order to bring about a state of har-
mony instead of constant discord, the
| w~orkingman must look for relief at the
ballot box. Here, where the will OF the
| people is supreme, the remedy lies at hand
and must be taken advantage of. Work.
as toll. and in that way they will get
Justice.
