FEDERATION OF LABOR
 ENTERS POLITICAL FIELD
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MAKES ITS REGENT DECISION
 GOOD.

All Members and Friends of Organized
 Labor ExhOrted to Work for the
 Election to Political Office of Men
 Known to be Favorable to LabOr's
 Cause---Campaign Programme Issued
 From the Headquarters of the Feder-
 alton in Washington Yesterday.
 Washington, July 22.-The executive council of the American Federation of Labor to-day made good its decision of several months ago to enter the field of politics in the interest of the trade union movement and to exhort all members and friends of organized la bor to work for the election to political office of men known to be favorable to labor's cause.
 From the headquarters of the federal tion the council to-day issued its campaign programme addressed ITO all organized labor and friends in the United States" It 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 maintain their rights or a progressive position in the very phases of modern society unless they organize, "and ex- ercise all those functions which, as workmen and citizens, it is their priv ilege and their duty to exercise"
 dao1arnd hnf Io11O,. aIfae mn demand upon government or society which is net 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 beep paid to the enactment of laws prepared by organized labor and pre- sented to congress flor 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 a word of caution that the movement must not degenerate into a scramble for office, but it should be a 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"
 1 It is expressly stated that "where g congressman or state legislator has proven himself a true friend to the rights of labor, he should be supported and no candidate nominated agains 1 him"

MT and Mrs. Joseph Anthony of this town and their daughter, aged four years were drowned, while their baby aged about one year, who was the only other occupant of the boat was saved. The baby was strapped in a small go-cart, and before the acci- dent happened an oar had been placed, probably by accident, so 1t was wedged between the axles and the body of the carriage. When the boat capsized, the baby t1oated securely in it's go-cart, sustained by the oar, and drifted over to the ledge where Prudence lighthouse stands. The lighthouse keeper and his wife rescued the child and took care of 1t. The baby was apparently uninjur- ed by the wetting it received.
