fercd and unanimously adopted.
We are gratified at the benefic, mt
results that haN, followed our lrgan.
lied efforts TO protect ourselv,
against the aggression of wealth.
The history Of organized labor shows
that. during the few years Of it, a
istence. 1t has done more to elevate
labor, more to protect working men
against the hostile encroachmcnts of
wealth and power, more to protec; the
wives and children Of laboring men.
and more t. tighten the burdens Of
life than all other agencies combined.
We realize that every attack upon or.
ganized labor IS but stroke A. tile
welfare Of the wives and children
who are dependent upon our labor for
their daily bread.
We remember that the Citizens Al.
lance was organized in Muskogee In
the early part II the year Of 1905.
and that its avowed purpose was to
fight organized labor We remember
the disastrous results that were Wis.
tied upon the labor unions uf Musko-
gee, because of the bitter warfare
waged upon organized labor by the
Citizens Alliance.

Haskell was a member of the Citizens
Alliance. Realizing that statehood Is

most solemn duty resting upon the
friends Of organized labor, is to see
