REPORT ON LABOR LEGISLATION
By ED. ANDERSON
Secretary-Treasurer Colorado Federation of Labor.

their influence for the passage of laws
for their benefit, were the first to
intimate that nothing would be done
in the way of legislation for the bene-
fit of the railway workers-in fact
information along this line did not
apply altogether to legislation in ia
vor of the railway workers. This in
timation was given in the inaugural
address of Governor Gunter that the
wishes of organized labor should not
be given any serious consideration by
the twenty-frst general assembly.
Farmers Fare No Better.
The membership of the Farmers Un-
ion, consisting of thousands of the
producers of the necessities of life,
who almost unanimously supported
the Democratic ticket in the last cam
paign, did not receive any more ia
vorable treatment from these would
be law makers than other organized
workers. In North Dakota, before the
recent turnover in that state, they
were advised by the autocrats to "go
home and slop their hogs"-advice
that transferred to other occupations,
we were told to go home and look
after our own business. They were
the elite and specially ordained to
legislate for the best interests of the
working people of the great Centen-
NAL state.
In the senate we could count our
friends on the fingers of a single hand.
In the lower house we Jared some bet
ter, but the reactionaries, controlled
by the corporations, were in the ma
jority and we could not expect any
favorable consideration of our inter
ests from them.
One fact stands out clearly and dis
tinctly. Every member of organized
labor in the lower house and senate,
tho few in number, were true to our
interests and willing to use every en-
deavor within their power to secure
favorable action on all bills indorsed
by the joint legislative committee, and
the small amount of labor legislation
enacted is due to the untiring efforts
of those few members. This fact
should teach US a much needed lesson,
that if we ever hope to secure legis-
lation in our interest, we must elect
members to both the house and senate
from our own ranks. The farmers of
North Dakota have pointed the way,
and if we wish to profit by their ex-
perience, we must organize along pol
itical as well as industrial lines and
secure for the working people of this
great Centennial state political as well
as industrial freedom.
