Washington, July 22.-The executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor today made good its declaration
of several months ago to enter the
field of politics in the interest of the
trades union movement and to urge
all friends of organized labor to elect
to political office men known to be
favorable to labor's cause. At the
headquarters of the federation the
council today issued its campaign pro-
grant," addressed to all organized Ia
Dor and friends in the United States"
1t sets out that the trades union
movement has kept and proposes to
keep pace with the rapid change in in
dustrial affairs, and that the working
people cannot hope to maintain their
rights or a progressive position in the
varying phases of modern society I'M
less they organize and exercise all
those functions, which, as workmen
and citizens, it is their privilege and
their duty to exercise.

LABOR'S CALL TO ARMS

the toiling millions of our country. AZ
ter setting forth labor's grievances and
requests and urging early action, we
closed that now famous document with
this statement:
"'But if perchance you may not
heed us, we shall appeal to the con-
science and support of our fellow citi-
zens.'
Relief Asked for Refused.
1.-THE relief asked for has not been
granted. Congress has turned a deaf
ear to the voices of the masses of our
people; and, true to our declaration,
we now appeal to the working people.
aye, to all the American people, unit
eddy, to demonstrate their determine
ion that this republic of ours shall
continue to be of, for and by the peo-
pie, rather than of. for and by the al
mighty dollar.
THE toiling masses of our country
are as much, if not more, interested in
good government than our fellow cit.
zens in other walks of life. In line
with the contention herein stated, the
American Federation OF Labor made
it's declaration Of political policy, as
already quoted above. And in line
Herewith we hope, and have the right
to expect, to arouse the citizenship of
our common country, interested in
good government, TO the apathy OF
hostility of the party in power to the
real interests of the people, so that
men more honest. faithful and pro-
gressive may be elected as the peo-
pies representatives.
IF it has come to a condition in this,
the greatest and wealthiest nation on
earth, that the almighty dollar is to be
worshiped to an extent OF forgetting
principle, conscience, uprightness and
justice, the time has arrived for labor
and it's friends to raise their voices in
condemnation of such deseneracy, and
to invite all reform forces to Join with
it in RELOCATING Indifference to the peo-
pies interests, corruption and graft to
political oblivion; to raise the stand
ard OF legislation by the election of
sincere, progressive and honest men

who, while worshiping money less, will
ity more.
I'VE recommend that central bodies
and local unions proceed without delay
by the election of delegates to meet in
conference, or convention, to formu-
late plans to further the interests of
this movement, and in accordance with
the plan herein outlined at the proper
time and in the proper manner nomi-
nate candidates who will unquestion-
ably stand for the enactment into law
of labor and progressive measures.
Wherever both parties ignore la
boris legislative demands a straight
labor candidate should be nominated,
so that honest men may have the OPP
portunity in exercising their franchise
to vote according to their conscience
instead of being compelled to either
refrain from voting or to vote for the
candidate and the party they must in
their innermost souls despise.
Where a congressman or state leg
islator has proved himself true
friend to the rights of labor he should
be supported and no candidate nomi-
mated against him.
This movement must not degener-
|, ate into a scramble for Office. 1t should
be determined effort, free, absolutely
from partisanship of every name and
character, to secure the legislation we
deem necessary and essential to the
welfare and happiness of all our peo-
pie. AS the present objects of this
movement are purely in the line of
legislation, all efforts should be con-
centrated upon the election of mem
bers OF congress and the various state
legislatures.
ITO make this-our movement-the
most effective the utmost care should
be taken to nominate only such union
men whose known intelligence, hon.
esty and faithfulness are conspicuous.
They should be nominated as straight
labor representatives and stand and be
supported as such by union men and
their friends and sympathizers, ire
spective of previous political affilia-
ton
wherever it is apparent that an en-
cannot be elected, efforts should be

demand on government and society
which is not equally accorded to all
the people of this country, and that it
can and will be satisfied with nothing
less.
The proposed campaign is based
upon the allegation that little attention
has been paid to the enactment of laws
prepared by organized labor and pre-
sented to congress, for the relief OF
these wrongs and the attainment of
these rights to which labor and the
common people are justly entitled and
which are essentially necessary for
their Welfare.
The council issues word of caution
that the movement must not degen-
crate into a scramble for Office, but it
should be a determined effort, free abb
solutely from all partisanship of every
name and character to secure the leg
islation we deem necessary and essen
tial to the welfare and happiness of
all our people"
1t is expressly stated that where
congressman or state legislator has
proved himself true friend to the
rights of labor he should be supported
and no candidate nominated against
him.
The following is text of the pro-
gram:
Campaign Program Outlined.
ITO All Organized Labor and
Friends in the United States-Dear Sirs
and Brothers: Events in the industrial
affairs of our people have rapidly
changed and are rapidly changing.
The trade union movement, as ex-
pressed by the American Federation
of Labor, has kept and proposes to
| keep pace Herewith.
THE wheels of industry cannot be
halted or turned back, nor should
| they be, even if that were possible.
| Welcoming industrial progress, labor
must be ever alert to meet new condi-
tons, recognizing that eternal vigil
lance is the price of industrial as well
as political liberty.
THE working people cannot hope to
maintain their rights or progressive
position in the varying phases of mod
ern society unless they organize and
exercise all those functions which, as
workmen and citizens, it is their privi-
lege and their duty to exercise
Labor makes no demand upon gov
eminent or society which is not
equally accorded to all the people Of
our country. 1t can and will be salts
fed with nothing else.
| Congress No Friend of Labor.
Several presidents of the United
States have in their messages to con-
gress, urged the passage of equitable
legislation in behalf of the working
people, but congress has been entirely
preoccupied looking after the interests
of vast corporations and predatory
wealth.
Congressman and senators in their
frenzied rush after the almighty dollar
have been Indifferent or hostile to the
rights of man. They have had no time
and as little inclination to support the
reasonable labor measures, the enact
ment of which we have urged, and
which contained beneficent features
for all our people without an obnox-
ious provision to anyone.
