Depending on our Co Commis-
sioners TO give Forest City GOOD
ROADS is like depending on mum
dame or Texas rain makers to give
US Rain. This is not to find fault
with the said CO. Com S, but to en-
phasize the fact that there are pro-
visions Of law by which the people
Of Forest City twp could engage in
Road Building themselves. if they
were so disposed. Who could
make better Roads west and south

Others are doubtless copying it,

Tur FLAG THE IRISH LOVE

o Flag with your stripes of rud ana white
And Your field of azure blue.
With the white stars sprinkled DER you,
Like drops of silvery dew.
And the country that you stand for.
And the grand old eagle, too,
You are very dear to Irish hearts
They would gladly die for you.
You have shown them the only freedom
That they have ever known,
You have lifted them from the slavery
OF the heartless British throne;
You have welcomed them as brother.
Gave your hand without the glove
You're the only flag OF any land
That the Irish really love
Oh, true, they love their native land,
But u tyrant's foot has throd
Upon the hearts that hourshed there
And crushed them like clod.
Oh. true. they love the shamrock
And the flag of gold and green;
But waving oyer any land
IT cannot now be seen.
They have been driven from their native
Like hunted beasts Of prey;
But they saw across the ocean
land where they might stay;
So they hasten II the country
You so proudly wave above;
You're the only flag of any land
That the Irish really love.
III YOU should ask "Old Glory"
That they should fight and die
To save our own dear country
Every man should answer ave ::
But will you ask Old Glory"
That they should take part
10 save the hand that crushed them
And broke their noble hearts!
Will You ask these men. Old Glory,
To aid that tyrant band,'
With their greed for wealth. =,
| An their lust for gold.
| To crush another landn
| But call. ii you will, Old Glory,
| And as sure as heavens above.
| Tho it breaks their heart to do so.
They will fight for the flag they love.

in every movement looking toward
increased production and it does not
oppose, but on the contrary sup
ports, that part OF the war program
designed to force all able bodied
persons to engage in some useful oc-
cupation. Notwithstanding these
facts, such legislation has been pro-
posed in this state and it is not inn
probable that bill of this kind will
be introduced at the coming session
of the legislature. | wish to sug-
gest, therefore, that an expression
be made by this convention as to its
attitude upon this question.
Legislation.
The Legislative committee has pre-
pared report to be made to this
convention and ! shall therefore
make only a brief statement upon
this subject in connection with that
report.
The formulating OF our legislative
program will be the most important
work OF this convention. The in
terests of the workers of the entire
state are involved and present con-
ditions make it imperative that the
greatest care be exercised in de-
termining the course to be pursued
! wish to remind YOU that when this
program has beer outlined and the
legislative committee has received
its instructions. that a campaign
locking toward the defeat OF the
program outlined here must be met.
Already that campaign is under way
and it appears that war conditions
will be the slogan used to prevent
the amendment Of existing laws or
the enactment OF needed legislation.
am confident that the existing con-
ditions will receive the careful con-
sideration OF this convention, and
that through your action necessary
legislation will be secured.
While the activities of the fedora
ton during the fiscal year just
closed have been greater than in
former years, | have, as in past con-
ventions, reported briefly upon the
more important matters, our work
having been largely in connection
with the subjects covered in this re-
port.
The coming year will no doubt
bring problems OF grave concern to
labor and to the state. We may
face these problems, however, with
confidence because OF the new rec
ogniton that organized labor has
gained by its loyalty and through
the service it has rendered.

REPORT OF LEGISLATIVE
COMMITTEE.
To the Delegates to the Fifteenth
Annual Convention:

To the Delegates to the Fifteenth
Annual Convention:
While there has been no session OF
the legislature since our last report
your committee believes that the
formulating of 4 legislative pro-
gram, and all conditions in connec-
ton Herewith, should receive the
careful consideration of this con-
vention and we desire, therefore, TO
make some suggestions as to legis-
lation adopted by former conven-
tions. Since the outbreak OF the
war, and more especially since the
United States became involved.
there has been introduced in con-
gress and in various state legisla-
lures a great number OF bills which
require careful examination lest ex-
isting laws affecting labor be amend
ed directly or By implication and the
normal and proper activities OF labor
organizations be restricted under
the guise of necessary war legisla-
tion. In practically every state in
which the legislature has convened
since the declaration OF a state OF
war there have been powerful in
terests that have sought to take ad-
vantage of war conditions to enact
anti-labor legislation. 1t cannot be
expected that we i'll Oklahoma will
be more fortunate than our fellow
workers in other states i'll this re-
spect and that we will not have this
condition to contend with in this
state in the coming session of the
legislature.
We realize the fact that here is
much needed legislation. yet there
are several existing laws, some of
which affect all of our membership,
and others that affect a greater por-
ton, that are inadequate and ought

Observation-Disclosures
REPORT.

Following is a synopsis OF the re-
port of Secretary-Treasurer Wilson !;
The past year has been one in
which the responsibilities OF your
officers, in fact the responsibilities
of each and every individual mem
Der OF the labor movement, have
been greatly multiplied. However,
the record will show that the prob
lens which have daily confronted
the membership have been met with
zeal, patriotic devotion and marked
ability, and should command the
admiration and respect OF all the
people OF the state. We have been
building upon solid ground; we
have been achieving results; we
have been looking forward. The
Oklahoma labor movement has
stood the acid test in the nations S
trials; we have gone over the top
each time we have been called upon
and we will continue to do so.
While we meet here to grasp the
opportunities that present themselves
and apply them to our interest. we
shall ever bear in mind the duty
we owe to our government i'll the
present crisis and performing that
duty in an intelligent and patriotic
way. We realize that in doing this
we have made daily Sacrifices and
that we must continue TO do so. but
thev will be cheerfully made. not
that the employing interests may
increase their profits. for we insist
that the employers loyalty and
patriotism must measure up to ours.
The labor movement will give its
all for worldwide democracy but it
must be combined with industrial
democracy.
Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps.
1t has been my aim to have COM
plete report OF all war subscriptions
and donations for presentation to
this convention. Statistical blanks
were forwarded to all unions in the
state some time ago in an effort that
the information might be complied
but through either the laxity of To-
cal union officers or their inability
to secure the data desired, only
very small portion of the organiza-
tions have complied with the re-
quest. That the labor movement is
doing its full part, however, the most
skeptical may be convinced by the
reports so far received. Only sixty
