Vote on New Party.
NOW CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
Declare Statement of Secre-

Check Plan for Permanent Party.
Cite Move in Cleveland as Indica-

New York. Feb. 29.-New York labor
leaders who are advocates Of the plan OF
forming an independent labor party are
not in the least disturbed by the declara-
tio1 Of Secretary Morrison. Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. in Washington
to-day. that the federation does not favor
the plan. The question is TO come 20 a
vote tomorrow before the Central FEEDER
ated Union, unless present plans fail. and
they think the project viii then be in
dorsed.
Labor advocates here do not think Nor
risOn Is authorized 70 speak for the fed
Grafton. The resolution pending before
the Central Federated Union calls upon
the American Federation 10. issue a call
for a national labor convention 70 launch
the proposed party. II the proposition is
put up TO the federation formally. backed
by the union strength of New York, the
local supporters say the executive COM
mittee Will be forced TO consider II.
Coming just on the eve Of the vote 10 be
taken in New York. independent party ad-
vocates are inclined TO resent Mourison's s
action in pronouncing against the plan.
They insinuate Morrison's chief purpose
was 10 affect to-morrow's vote. adversely
TO the proposition. If this was his pur-
pose, they assert, il will fail. The resolu-
ton will stand or fall, they insist. on its
merits, and delegates will not be infiu-
enced by interviews given out in other
cities.
Approve CIeveIand's stand.
The stand taken by the Union Trades
and Labor Council OF Cleveland. indorsin,-
an independent labor party, is referred to
by advocates OF the movement here TO be
of much more effect than Morrison's ut
terances. It shows clearly, they say, that
the independent party idea is growing all
over the country.
The final outcome Of the propaganda
now being carried on must be the organi-
zation of labor's own party. This. they
declare. is the most significant thing
about the Cleveland movement
Even If the federated union resolution
is voted down tomorrow. leaders here
are confident II will be only a temporary
check.
ANXIETY of Leaders.
The chief anxiety along labor leaders
here is to get the proposed party launch
ed so that il can take part in the present
campaign. Endorsement by the American
Federation Of Labor would give great
impetus to the movement. but even il the
federation takes a stand against such a
plan. II is predicted that an independent
party Will be the outcome Of the conven-
ton IL is proposed TO call in Cleveland
on July I.
Refusal by the American Federation to
indorse the plan, Il Is pointed out. would
not mean that the federation is opposed
10 the plan, but that its leaders think
political movement should be kept outside
the federation. so as not 20 cause politi-
cal cares to creep into its deliberations.
