\ call to labor organization through
out the state 10 unite for common pro-
lection has been issued by the salt
Lake Federation Of Labor The step
has been under contemplation for some
time. Ii was decided upon al This
time because Of the formation of the
Citizens Alliance. Labor men charge
that already leaders in the union cause
arc being black-isted by Citizens Al
lance members. and that prompt ac-
ton is necessary for mutual prOtec-
tion.
The following circular letter is being
sent out by the Salt Lake Federation
Of Labor TO the various labor Organiza-
tions In Utah:
To All Labor Unions Of Utah. Greeting:
AT the last meeting Of the Salt Lake
Federation OF Labor. on the question OF
united effort Of labor unions to combat
the aggresstveness of our common enemy
IN this state. it was decidedly the opinion
that the best results could be &C
Complished through a state organization.
az II would then give Us better chance
Tor united action that would undoubtedly
be TO the greatest advantage Of all con-
cerned. Therefore a committee was ap-
pointed with instructions 10 issue an in

We take the liberty of issuing this call
without previously advising with the
mold their state convention on May 3
\ and so we believe this to be our OppOr-
tune time TO get a full representation at a
minimum cost to outside unions.
VIC have not arranged any special order
OF business to come before the meeting
believing that such can best be done by
delegates at the meeting Therefore we
recommend that you send delegates that

eide Just what is best 20 do and then
proceed TO accomplish it.
We desire TO impress on you the neceS-
Etty Of noting the persistence of the
Citizens Alliance movement I'm this state
