UNION LABOR WILL
TAKE A HAND IN
COMING ELECTIONS
With Definite Plan of Action,
Fight Will Be Begun to Sc.
cure Nomination of Clean
Candidates.
LAW MAKING BODIES
PLAY HIDE AND SEEK
Laws Affecting Labor as a
Class, Are Not Being Taken
To BY Those in Position to
Do So as Readily as Desired

Political leaders are watching the po-
litical movements in organized labor as
never before. Labor has laid out a
program for both national and state
elections. The program is simple
and practical, and promises to cut a
large figure in the approaching cam
paign. 1t was adopted by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and approved
by the various local declarations, and
unions in g,\eral. While this pro-
gram is not mandatory, it is believed
it Will be carried into effect in many
parts of the country.
This activity on the part of union la
Dor is the result of a feeling that the
law-making bodies have been playing
hide and seek with labor in some de
sired measures that are pending The
program does not propose a separate
party, or the securing of industrial
party utilization. 1t simply means in
dependent self interest The pro-
gram proposes that union men shall
try to secure the nominations of fair
men in their respective parties by aC-
tivity at the primaries.
After the tickets and platforms are
made they are to be thoroughly inves-
tigated and a report made as to their
sentiments and records. Then the
voter is expected to vote for the can
didates that are considered most
friendly to the proposed labor legisla-
ton. Labor is already in the field
against several of the men seeking the
nomination for president, and at least
one of the candidates for governor in
Indiana.
Union labor could not hope to sue
coed in the nation or any of the states
without a separate party. The total
voting strength of the unions is less
than 100000, about Onc-sixth of the
total vote in the United States. There
are nearly 100000 union voters in In
diana, about equally divided between
the two leading parties. 1t is there
feOre easily possible for the union vote
to determine the electoral vote for
president. A change of less than 5000
votes would have defeated Benjamin
Harrison in 1883. There are several
close states that organized labor can
easily control Nearly one-third of
the congressional districts can be con-
trolled by a reasonable change of labor
votes. 1t is also known that a con-
siderable number of nonunion workers
will be influenced by the unions. The
possibilities presented in this cam.
paign are great enought to cause anx-
iety on the part of politicians.

himself as If he had been alone, in the
presence Of the whole court and often
many strangers OF distinction. The
first valet handed the nightShirt to the
most highly qualified person, to one of
present. This was a right and not a
favor. When the person was one with
whom he was on familiar terms the
king would often play tricks while
putting it on. stepping on one side to
make the holder run after him, accom-
panying these charming jokes with
loud outlaws, which greatly veXed
those who were sincerely attached to
him. When his shirt was on he put
on his dressing gown. while three val
