Organized Labor Dissatisfied.
Organized labor is talking seriously
about getting together and forming a
new party to take part in the coming
city campaign in this city and in the
next state campaign next year. No
neinite plans have been made yet. but
the leaders are doing a lot of talking
and thinking about It. Last fall or
ganized labor helped the democrats to
carry Indiana. Had # not been for the
labor vote Indiana would certainly
have been won by the republicans. But
now the labor leaders charge that the
democrats in the legislature were IN
Il grateful for what was done for the
party and that labor was turned down
on practically all of the legislation
that It demanded. This is the reason
for the new party talk.
I'VE may not be able to elect any
one" said one labor leader, but W,
WILL be able to beat a lot of fellows
It is said that meeting will be held
before long for the purpose OF laying
plans for~the new party advent.
