TRADES UNION DOMINATION
Appeals for a Movement to Counteract

TRADES UNION DOMINATION

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Dec. 20.-Dayid
NJ. Parry. president Of the National
Manufacturers Association. is sending
out TO manufacturers all over the coun-
try CIRCULAR letters in which he reviews
the recent action Of the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor. as set forth in resolu-
tions adopted by that body. and calls
attention particularly to resolution 40.
regarding government by injunction
child labor. Oriental immigration. and
the eight-hour Law.
Mr.. Parry appeals 10 manufacturers to
assist in a movement TO counteract a
program which means "the turning over
Of the United States to trades union
domination
Cooperative Democracy.
Mr.. Parry quotes the resolution OF Max
Hayes. OF Cleveland. in which the FEEDER
alton pledges itself TO overthrow the
present wage system and bring about
an Industrial cooperative democracy
The circular says that Hayes is one OF
the most radical Socialists OF Cleveland
and that in his final action the Socialist
element gained control OF the conven-
tion.

votes solidly for this resolution. This
is the organization that evoked so
much maudlin sentiment. and brought
the whole country to it's knees in the
anthracite strike. II is conideutially
prophesied that the Socialists viii be in
fun control Of the trades unions move
ment in the United States by me time
Of the next American Federation OF
Labor convention"
Socialists Aim at Power.
The charge is made that Hayes reso-
luton means an attack on the prodtc-
tive wealth OF the country; that the So
clallsts intend to take possession Of ali
the money and private property. The
circular says further:
You may be at peace with your
workmen now, but the organizer IS like a

out OF your dream and you have a strike

at work while you are at sleep.
Your turn is sure to come. for reso-
luton after resolution was passed at
