be conducted in accordance with
President Wilson's recommendations

1t is to be hoped the committee will
find something out But from reading
the item one would get the idea that
those congressional gentlemen never
heard of such a thing before Wilson
called their attention to it.

A. F. OF l.. POWER DEFINED

From reading the communications
published in The Tailor touching the
election of delegates to the convention
of the American Federation of Labor,
we are led to the conclusion that a
misunderstanding exists in the minds
of the writer's as to the scope and
power of the convention Of the A.
F. of L.
In the first place the writer's over
look the fact that the American Fed
Grafton is a voluntary organization,
drawn together by the realization of
the necessity of closer unity of the
working class, which would enable
them to be of mutual assistance to
each other.
This coming together of the diff
ferent groups composing the Ameri-
can Federation does not cause any
one group to lose its autonomy or its
identification. To do so would be at
variance with the original intentions
VI lhC pCOplC WIZ VI lutlI OWN lltt
will come together wlth others to
secure their friendship and assistance
in the hour of need.
No organization would think of
going into the A. F. of L. knowing
that by so doing they would be giving
up the right to manage their own
business as they saw fit. 1t is safe
to predict no union will ever do so.
There is quite an analogy between
the plan of organization of the United
States and the American Federation
of Labor.
The national unions hold the rela-
tionship to the A. F. Of L. that the
states hold to the national govern
ment. The locals composing the ma
tiOnal hold the same relationship to
it that the different counties hold to
the state. The United States cannot
make law contrary TO the agreement
made at the time the states formed
federation. Neither can the American
Federation make a law that would
abridge the rights Of any NATIONAL

neymen Tailors Of America.

whereby the government may eXer-
else unjust and tyrannical power and
may limit the liberty of individuals,
The apprehension which such grants
of authority arouses is not without
justification. For there never has
been a government which, granted
any degree of despotic authority, did
not transform that authority into
tyranny under some preteXt of emer-
gency or guise for some welfare pur-
pose.
The pending bill in your state is a
serious and unwarranted invasion of
the rights and the liberties of the
workers of Washington and involves
a principle that is subversive to the
liberty and welfare of all citizens
The organized workers of Washing
ton must make the fight for the cause
of liberty, humanity and justice. They
must defeat this measure in the No
vember election.
The act of congress approved Oct.
Is, 1914, being "An act to supplement
existing laws against unlawful re-
straints and monopoIes, and for other
purposes" in paragraph 2, section 20,
reads as follows:
And no such restraining order or
injunction shall prohibit any person
or persons, whether singly or in con-
cert, from terminating any relation of
employment, or from ceasing to per-
form any work or labor, OR FROM
RECOMMENDING, ADVISING OR
PERSUADING OTHERS BY PEACE
Full MEANS SO TO DO; OR FROM
ATTENDING AT ANY PLACE
WHERE ANY SUCH PERSON OR
PERSONS MAY LAWFULLY BE
FOR THE PURPOSE OF PEACE
FULLY OBTAINING OR COMMUNE
eating INFORMATION, OR FROM
PEACEFULLY PERSUADING ANY
PERSON TO WORK OR TO ABB
STAIN FROM WORKING; OR FROM
CEASING TO PATRONIZE or to en-
ploy any party to such dispute, or from
recommending, advising, or persuad-
ing others by peaceful and lawful
means so to do; or from paying or
giving to, or Withholding from, any
person engaged in such dispute, any
strike benefits or other moneys or
things of value; or from peaceably
assembling in a lawful manner, and
for lawful purposes; or from doing
any act or thing which might lawfully
be done in the absence of such dis
pute by any party thereto nor shall
any of the acts specified in this para
graph be considered or held to be
violations of any law of the United
States"
Surely the laws of the federal gov
ernment of the United States which
specifically declare the normal activi-
ties of the workers as entirely lawful
should not be made illegal by the
State of Washington.
