Benjamin Franklin wrote:
He who by the plow would thrive
himself must hold the plow or drive"
If labor is TO plow its right furrow in
Congress, it must hold the plow or drive.
Labor need not draw political party
lines in nominating Congressional candi-
dates and in electing them. So a man is
pledged to Labor and will always keep
the interests of Labor to the front, that
man would be member of the Labor
Group, whatever party ticket Labor had
put him on and elected him on.
Should Begin to Act.
The time is short for action There
are great issues before the country

TO organize and to bargain collectively
without suppression by privately con-
trolled militia and gunmen-
If Labor is to have potent voice In
determining these issues its voice in Con.

FORT COLLINS HAS
TWO NEW UNIONS
Painters and Cooks and Wait

Fight on the Unfair Express Is Prov
ing Very Effective: Trade Unions
Elect City Commissioner
Especial Correspondence }

Fort Collins. Colo, April le.-The fight
being wagcd by the local Typographical
Union and organizations affiliated with
the Trades and Labor Assembly against
the unfair Daily Express is proving ef
fective. The non-union force is now
working only about half time and be
ing paid in store orders. On the Other
hand the Daily Courier, employing union
printers, is working a full force and
putting in overtime to turn out th'
work, advertising and commercial, com
ing into the fair office.
Last week the trade unionists turned
a trick in the city election by defeating
the Express candidate for city commits
sioner who was up for reelection. DR.
w. II. Winslow, supported by organized
labor. won by nearly 200 majority. This
was a solar pleSus for the Express and
means that its influence politically is
gone.
The Trades and Labor Assembly Is
making splendid progress and the boy'
feel so elated over last weeks victory
that plans are being made for taking a
more active interest along trade union
lines in this falls election.
Two new unions have made application
to their internationais for charters. They
arc the Cooks and Walters and the Paint
ers and Decorators. At least four other
unions are in process Of formation and
will soon be in shape to apply for char
tcrs.
I. T. U. Representative Frank J. Pull

day and held conferences with the Off.
GERS Of Typographical Union No: ees
and other unions, He found conditions
here much improved in the printing In

The fate of the resolution ordering
the printing of 100000 copies of the
final report of the Commission on In

Unless an aggressive fight is made it
will be defeated by a handful of reac-

Georgia. They will accomplish this by

taking advantage of senatorial red tape,
and particularly of the vicious system
known as senatorial courtesy" by which
one senator can often block action.
Whether or not the interests that
want the report suppressed succeed win
depend largely on the pressure brought
to bear on the senate by those who want
the facts about American industrial con-
ditions known.
An aggressive demand for action will
cut thru all the red tape and win speedy
Favorable action on the resolution TO
