ANOTHER NEW PARTY
 FORMED IN NEW YORK
ORGANIZED BY LABOR MEN WHO WILL BE~AcTIVE
 IN POLITICS.

Determined to Enter the Independen1
 Fieid--PIan Mapped Out to Have an
 Organization in Every Assembly Dis
 trict in Greater New YOrI5-Consider
 That Labor Has Received Very Little
 From Either of the Big Parties.
 New York, Aug. 9,-A new political party, to be called the Independent La Dor party, was formed tonight in this city at meeting called at the sugges- ton of the executive committee of the Central Federated union, and composed lof about seventy-fve 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 de- termined to enter independent politics this year and had mapped out a plan to have labor party organization in every assembly district of Greater New York. and that in a day or two every labor organization would receive a letter in which the matter would be explained
 MT. Hatch said that it was not the purpose of the Central Federated union to take up independent politics as a body, but the individual members of the different labor unions would bel in vited to form clubs in their various assembly districts and that from each of these clubs three members would be elected to form the general committee of the Independent Labor party. Until such general committee is formed the Central Federated union, throl1eh it's executive committee, he said, would have charge of the new party. Tn d speech explaining the new organization Hatch said:
 The labor people have received little recognition from either party. There are labor laws on the statute books, but they are there for ornamental purposes and are not enforced.
 President Roosevelt was going to enforce the eight-hour law, but it would never have come to his attention shad 1t not been for the labor rising all over the country"

programme providing for the con-
struction of one great battleship of
a tonnage equal to any af1oat or now

gramme and provided for by the bin

lures will be greater than the Dread
naught. The tonnage must be as
great as the biggest battieship now
planned. This is estimated at about
20, 600 tons. It's speed must be at
least 81 knots, and it's draught will be
about % feet 1t is in the armament
that 1t viii surpass the Dreadnaught.
According to the. plans for this giant
defender for the British navy. it will
have ten 12-inch guns. Chairman
Toss of the house committee on naval
affairs said the battleship for the
United States should have IL 12-inch
guns The South Carolina and Mich
igan. plans for which have recently
been completed, are the biggest ships
now authorized for the United States
navy, and they will have eight 12-inch
guns
The naval appropriation bill will not
be taken up by the senate committee
until the last of the week Hearings
will not be had, the house hearin rs
being relied upon so that it should he
reported to the senate by Monday next

did when it was reported from the
house committee. the item of decrease
being 500. 900 for the floating dry
