A new political party, to be called the
Independent labor party, was formed last
night in New York city at meeting called
at the suggestion of the executive commit
tee Of the Central Federated Union, COM
posed of about seventy-five members of the
different labor unions of Greater New York.
James Hatch of the executive committee
of the Central Federated Union declared
that the union had determined to enter into
Independent politics this year and had
mapped out a plan to have a labor party
organization in every assembly district of
Greater New York and that in day or
two every labor organization would receive
a letter in which the matter would be ex-
planned.
Mr. Hatch said 1t was not the purpose OF
the Central Federated Union to take up in
dependent politics, but the individual mem
bers of the different labor unions would be
invited to form clubs in their various as
sembly districts and from each of these
clubs three members would be elected to
form the general committee of the indepen-
dent labor party.
