A.F.OF |. CONVENTION
Local Delegate Gives Interesting Account Of
the Proceedings

ceived and delegate from the Far
mers' Alliance spoke on Rural Credit
and other things for which his erga-
nization stands. A delegate from the
Church Federation made a good
speech on unemployment" He
claimed it was not only the poor who
were out of employment who needed
attention, but that the rich oilers
should be forced to become producers
and not live off of others. He assert
ed if the church people only under

would be more in sympathy with the
workers. A delegate from jar

stand for and asserted their society
was three years old and had 10000
members. The Japanese went every

were treated on an equality, Adj

November llth-The delegates met
at the Suffer hotel and went in the
sightseeing cars to the boat at the
ferry and went over to Vallejo, where
splendid free dinner was enjoyed.
Embarked on the ferry and went to
Mare Island, where we saw four big
battleships all prepared to kill people;
wenr through all the Governments
machine shops and at o'clock saw
$500 men quit work and go on the
ferry boat to Vallejo, as no one lives
on Mare Island. Returned to San
Francisco at 7:31 o'clock.
November 12th-At $50 o'clock
delegates again met at Eagles hall.
A resolution was presented by Kirk
patric, Of Wisconsin, to elect the off,
GERS of the A. +. OF L. by referendum.
but was defeated
There was an interesting discussion
between Machinists and Carpen-
tiers, one delegate reading where the
Carpenters made everything from
battle-ship down to sewing machine
needle. There were other discussions
of problems arising between the var
ious trades.
We attended every session until

THEY MEXICAN PROBLEM

The frightful story of atrocities by
ire Villa forces in Mexico should be
taken With considerable salt. 1t will
be recalled that only short time ago
Villa was reported as having gone in
sane and having fed to the mountains
There appears to have been no basis
for the story, but it was allowed to
pass II is true that the war in Mex
leo is largely a bandit affair, and
atrocities will be committed by these
men in their desperation and defiance
Of law and order, but the reports OF
especial villianies should be more
thoroughly investigated before being
sent broadcast over the United States.
There are those of our people who
think great deal of the trouble in
Mexico is fomented by Americans
who have special interests there, and

been printed time after time by

SHOULD JOIN UNIONS
Frank Walsh on the AUGMENTATION Of New
Immigrants to United States

Hon Frank p Walsh has written
stirring appeal to the newly orga-
nized National Americanization Com,
rnittee, which has undertaken to
quickly Americanize immigrants, ask
ing the committee TO urge immigrants
to join labor unions. Mr.. Walsh
writes as chairman and for the Com,
mittee on industrial relations. Space
will not permit its publication in full,
but after showing the benefits to be
derived by laborers joining their re-
spective unions, he closes as follows.
Nor is it necessary to point out
the un-American and dangerous sub,
serviency, amounting to serfdom, that
exists in immigrant industrial popu-
lations employed by the great corpo.
rations that deny their employees the
right to organize. As an Americana
cation Committee you will of course
agree that no amount OF welfare
work, by which favors are handed
down from above, can remove the
menace to American institutions that
lies in industrial populations that are
economically subservient and that
must depend for their well-being up.
on the generous exercise Of arbitrary
power by superior class.
| have noted that your Committee
has not hesitated to encourage the
work OF educating immigrants as carr
ried on in Detroit through the insttru-
mentality of the employers, and that
you are giving wide distribution to
literature setting forth the Detroit
plan, under which large employers
have in some cases threatened their
men with discharge for failure to at
tend night schools, thus using the
control of the opportunity to work to
control the movements of their en-
ployes after they leave the shop.
Without here commenting upon this

George Worden, who as delegate
to the recent A. F. Of L. convention
at San Francisco, as representative
from Boise, and who was accom-

Fair Grounds, where we had our pic

marched to the California dance hall

speck, for the building is so large.

President Gompers and we got a lot
of hot air and taffy from Governor
Johnson and Mayor Rolfe and some

The list OF delegates by States was

1t would be good policy for all
the various unions OF the country TO
send representatives to attend
the political conventions next sum
mer and demand the same treatment
as is accorded other organized bodies
belonging to the employing class.
The real enemy of unionism - mon
opoly and organized labor should
make very political party come out
into the open with specifications for
the destruction of private monopoly.
They should also demand representa-
ton i'm the councils of political par
ties. 1t is fortunate that they have
already done this to an extent that
will permit them to making a reason
able showing in governmental repre-
sentation right now But labor unions
are not as yet doing their best in
this line and are too Indifferent to
the Importance of hanging together
politically.
A hostile governmental represen-
tation, which is elected by the whole
people at general election, can do
much to weaken unoinism thru Off
cial action at the behest of the en-
ploying class.
Labor does not and should not de-
mand class Legislation but the en-
ploying class always does and there
is no way to prevent it but political
activity to the point to where they
can strengthen labor's representation
in government.

INDUSTRIAL PROGRAM FOR 1916

Once more we desire to suggest to
the Commercial club the adoption of
program for 1910. There should
be some enterprise undertaken by
the club in which all our people can
participate and which would have
consideration all above else. There
should be concentrated effort towards
the establishment of some enterprise
that would give employment and thus
establish a layroil in Boise.
We suggested concerted effort
looking to the establishment of a
wooden mill, but this Is merely a
suggestion; there is an abandoned
cannery that a few thousand dollars

RURAL CREDITS

The rural credit law, If it is a
measure that does not become emas-
culated in the interest Of private mon
ey lending interests, will be boon
to city labor as we'll as the agricul-
turist. The farmers of the country
are restricted in their purchases and
in their programs of Improvement
by the high cost of money. If they
can get supply to the extent OF two
billion OF dollars within the next two

the proper management could be
made paying venture. There are
other enterprises that would suggest
themselves. And above all there is
the Boise-Winnemucca railroad Why
not see that construction work is
started on this great enterprise dur
ing 1910 With a strong pull all
along the line this can be done.
BY all means let the Commercial
club adopt constructive program
and invite the cooperation Of all our
people. Now is the accepted time;
the Lord helps those who help them

means great activity in building on
the farm, the purchase Of more ma
chinery, more, lumber and other nee
essary adjuncts to farm Improvement
1t is to be expected that the bank
ing interests will oppose this pro-
posed rural credit law with every bit
of cunning at their command, be-
cause it will without question be
weakening of present banking power
to give such large percentage Of
the population Of the country ae-
cess to money supply at lower inter-
est, but the producing classes can get
a real measure if they are not indif-
ferent' to the necessity of demanding
that no subterfuge be palmed Oft on

ganization in the country should be
on hand to see that every weakening

down and that the great New York
banks, the National City and the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce, are not al
lowed to prevent money supply

cultural banks that are tobe estab-
lished. If the two banks mentioned
can prevent the farmer from getting
money at low interest they will do

AT THE TRADES COUNCIL

There was large and representa-
tive attendance at Trades Council on
Wednesday evening.
The delegates were surprised to
find the hall beautifully decorated,
and long line of tables in the center
OF room covered with table cloth, nap-
kins and dishes.
Considerable business OF importance
was transacted.
The council in response 10 an ap,
peal from the Idaho division of the
Red Cross society gave an order for
500 Christmas stamps. Brother G.
A. Worden, Grange delegate who
represented the Council at the A. F.
of L. convention at Frisco gave
most interesting description of the
convention. Brother Worden was the
only actual farmer delegate at the
convention which was composed of
about 675 delegates. Mr. Worden's
report is printed in another column
of this issue. Mrs. Worden also at.
tended the sessions of the convention
and spoke of some of the interesting
events which took place.
Brother and Mrs. T. A. Allen OF
the Grange who were at San Francis,
co during the sessions of the National
Grange at Oakland also made inter
esting reports.
Brother Allen who has been very
successful in intensive agricultural
