Resolutions Of Respect.


At a regular stated meeting Of the
Women's International Union Labor
League. held September 10, 1906. in
Bader Building, the following pre-
amble and resolutions were adopted:
Whereas. This league is organized
to secure justice for the workers OF
the world and realizing that when the
power of the Initiative and Referen-
dunn is given TO people. laws can be
PASSED which win distribute justice TO
men and women:
Resolved. That we most heartily en-
dorse the principle Of the Initiative
and Referendum. believe that il will
educate the masses of wealth pro-
ducers on motters OF public policy. in
stead OF appealing to their partisan
political preiudices. which must ulti-
mately lead to the overthrow of the
foundations Of our republic; therefore.
be Il further
Resolved. That we believe It will
abolish the corrupt lobbies that cong
regate in legislative hall FOR no other
purpose than the seeking OF special
privilege. and confer greater power
on the masses than the men they
delegate to represent them in the law
making assemblies. giving them the
mower to initiate legislation and also
the vote power. which is their own by
proper right: be II also
Resolved, While not possessing the
right Of franchise. we earnestly urge
every man to register and vote for
this great principle. which appeals to
men OF every political creed.
