Mr.. Parry said:
It may appear to you gentlemen that
we have been little slow in getting
the national organization In working
order but Rome was not built in day.
During the last month I appointed the
executive committee which the con-
vention asked me to select and the new
committee hell meeting last week at
Dayton. o.. at which meeting Mr.. A. c.

tary was instructed to open the books
of the organization and invite the var
lous associations to come into its mem
bership. Some resolutions were adop-
ted by the committee one OF which
urges the various associations to adopt
resolutions against the passage of the
eight hour bill in Congress and to for
ward copies I'D their respective men,
bers of congress- Another resolution
asks the members of the association
not to use thu. union label upon their
goods as littl. as possible, while still
another resolution provides for the Gre

labor bureau, which shall be at the
service Of members Of the association
this labor bureau to keep tabulated
record of all men who commit acts OF
violence or arss undesirable as labor dis
turbers This bureau may develop
other very valuable features. The pres

sistant secretary and to develop as
soon as practicable an organization and
an educational bureau fin Indianapolis,
In few days the first bulletin Of the
Citizens Industrial Association will
be issued In which will appear the ac-
ton taken by the executive committee
and also the constitution resolutions
and other matters pertaining to the
Chicago convention. The bulletin Will
be sent to all the associations. wish
to say that from the indications the
Citizens Industrial Association will
have great success. The mall relating
to 1t is very heavy and the executive
committee meeting which lasted two
days developed many encouraging
features.
think that the need Of a national
association tn unity the strength OF all
the local ard other organizations In
sympathy with its general objects
should be READILY apparent without
much argument. The labor disturbance
Is not a local but a national disease,
and 1t must be dealt with nationally
as well as locally. You cannot hope TO
obtain permanent relief without strik-
ing a blow ilt the constitutional seat
Of the distress This can be done only
by proving 10 the whole nation the
odious character and disastrous result
OF what Is known as labor unionisnl.

Labor is organized nationally as we'll
as locally. Last year the American
Federation al, Labor expended 100000
for the services OF organizers who went
about the country forming new unions
and building up old ones. Next year
a much larger sum will be used for the
same purpose. II we hope to make any
Roadway against such an organization
then we musr form a counter-organlZa-
ton 0f adequate strength and with suf-
ficie1St funds at its command to carry
out its purposes In a national way.
