LABOR HOSTS ENTER
FIELD OF POLITICS
Executive Council of A. F. of l..

TO SUPPORT LABoR's FRIENDS
Address Is Issued in Which 1t Is Now
Stated that Labor Can Only Gain
Its Rights by Means of Political Ac-
ton.

Its Rights by Means of Political Ac-
ton.
Washington, July %. The execu-
tive council of the American Fedora
tton of Labor has made good it's dec
laration of several months ago to en-
ter the field of politics in the inter
est Of the trade union movement and
to exhort all members and friends of
organized labor to work for the elec-
ton to political Offices of men known
to be favorable to labor's cause.
From the headquarters of the feder-
alton the council has issued It's "cam-
paign programme" addressed ito all
organized labor and friends in the
United States"
1t sets out that the trade union
movement has kept and proposes to
keep pace with the rapid changes in
industrial affairs and that the working
people cannot hope to gain their
rights or a progressive position in the
varying phases Of modern society un-
less they organize and exercise all
those functions which, as workmen
and citizens 1t is their privilege and
their duty to exercise" 1t is declared
that labor makes no demand upon gov
ernment or society which Is not equal
ly accorded to all the people of this
country and that '1t can and will be
satisfied with nothing else"
The proposed campaign is Based
upon the allegation that little atten-
ton has been paid the enactment of
laws prepared by organized labor and
presented to congress ''for the relief
Of those wrongs and the attainment
of those rights to which labor and the
common people are justly entitled
and which are essentially necessary
for their welfare"
The council issues a word OF eau
ton that the movement must not de-
generate into a scramble for office
but 'it should be determined eff
fort, free absolutely from partisanship
of every name and character to secure
the legislation we deem necessary
and which is essential to the welfare
and happiness Of our people"
1t is especially stated that where
congressman or state legislator had
proven himself a true friend to the
rights of labor he should be elected
and no candidate nominated against
him.
