revolutionary forefathers. II this law

This was the warning uttered last
night by Grant Hamilton, legislative
agent of the American Federation OF
Labor, before fifty members Of the

audience In assembly OF the lower
house last night at the first open hear
ing on bills pending before the legis-
lature- affecting the industrial rela-
ticns law Advocating repeal OF the
present industrials relations act MI.
Hamilton averred that the present
law in effect denied organized labor
the right of peaceful assemblage:
that the thirty day clause was in
effect involuntary servitude and that
it infringed the rights or labor under
the constitution in that 1T denied
labor the right to quit employment
whenever it wished to do SO. Hamil-
ton then took up an analysis of the
Canadian industrial relations law and
asserted that the law had failed to
remedy the troubles between labor
and capital in the dominion.
Edward P. Costigan, another
speaker who advocated repeal OF the
Industrial relations act declared that
labor in this country was in the
same position as had been the Amer
lean colonies just before the war OF
the revolution. He said the duty of
Colorado was to concillate labor as
Edmund Burke had urged the British
parliament to conciliate the colonies.
