labor organization in the United States
and Central and South America. It
calls for the sending of a representa-,
tive of every national labor move
ment to the conference. Meanwhile
correspondence will be carried on be-
tween all of the groups and by each
group with the conference headquar-
ters in Washington. Authority for
the formation of this body was given
by the recent convention of the Ameri-

One Combination.
Briefly, the purpose is to line up in
one big combination for international
action the wage-earners of the west
ern world.
LAS is we'll KNOWN" the manifesto
says, "the capitalists of North Amer
lea and some European countries are
scattering millions and millions of
dollars through Latin-America acquir-
ing concessions and business proper

by Latin-American politicians and

|Ssideration the rights of the masses OF

rights. To him, there is 'one right"
and he wants it.. It is what Americans
call "a square deal,' and it applies to
everything from wages to methods of
securing fair count on election day.
Hence the conference committee says:
Each national organization should
be autonomous within the juridiction
of its own country. The conference
committee stands for the right of the
workers of every American country to
work out their own problems in ac-
cord with their ideals and highest con-
ceptions.' -

as they please about syndicalism-
their dominant form of organization
and political action, and the, work.

themselves the same liberty. But both
will join in all international efforts to
advance the common interests Of. the
workers in their one big struggle-to
get for labor the wealth that labor
produces, and to maintain democratic
government and liberty under which
to enjoy that wealth.

Mooney Not Upset.
Mooney reiterated his innocence
Saturday. "This injustice has not up

single episode in the long struggle of
labor. I was prepared. To an inno-

Against Militarism.
The pledge Of opposition to mili-
tarism is significant to every wage
Garner in the United. States. It repre-
sents the summing up Of the evidence
on the militarist issue by not merely
Mr.. Gompers but by the men who
have seen Mexico ravaged for six
years, and who have ben studying the
labor struggles in South and Central
America. Everywhere they found the
worst conditions of labor where the
soldier was backing up the authority
of big business. Where militarism was
in worst repute there the workers had
the most freedom and the best de-
gree of social development. ..

representative Wednesday that the
statement made by Michael Boylan,
mayor of Virginia, to the effect that
the State Federation of Labor had
been asked by the miners on the Me-
saba range for assistance prior to the
recent strike, was wholly incorrect.
'We were never called upon by the
miners" said President Hall. AT one
time took the matter up with Presi-
dent Gompers, to ascertain If we
might organize the Mesaba miners
into Federal labor unions, but found it
could not be done. We did this on
our own responsibility, but at no time

WOMEN MY VOTE FOR PRESIDENT ELECTORS
STATE INSURANCE
MEN GET HEARING
Insurance Companies Decline to
Argue Matter-Say They Will
Be Ready Soon

ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 15.-The
first hearing on state insurance for
Industrial accidents was held in the
senate committees on employers liza
bility this week. The meeting was
brief, but to the point.
The advocates Of state insurance
weres loaded for bear" and presented
their case in an able manner. The in
surance companies who are opposing
the bill, did not care, for some reason
to outline their objections.
Attorney c.. D. O'Brien of st. Paul
outlined the arguments for state in
surance, claiming that in view of the
fact that the state had limited the
amount which an injured workmer
should receive for injuries, the state
also was bound to see to it that the
injured workmen received all the com.
pensation he was entitled to without
cost; that the only way this could be
dcne properly was through state
commission. He gave the reasons for
state insurance, also, claiming that in
states where this plan had been
adopted, it was found that employers
received insurance for less than it cost
under private insurance and that the
injured men received higher compen-
satiOn.
Lawson Talks.
Secretary Lawson of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor told Of the fight or
ganized labor had made for state in
surance, and said that the workmen
of Minnesota would not be satisfied
until the private insurance system
was done away with.
The insurance companies were
called upon to state their case, but
declined, saying they would be pre-
pared to do so at the following meet
ing of the joint committee.
Hearings will be continued at in
tervals during the next two or three
weeks, it is expected.
