Fellow Delegates:
at would not be appropriate that
a newly elected presiding officer make
reference to either the accomplish
ments of the past or to those that
we desire to attain in the future, ex-
cept that the first and what should
be considered the most prominent sub
ject touched upon would be the one
that is of most interest not only to
our membership, but to the citizens Of
our entire country as well.
we may look back upon the accom-
plishments of the movement as they
affect the great war in which our
country is involved and to know that
no matter what the demands may be
in the future, organized labor of our
nation will stand as a unit in support
of the government in its determine
tiof to establish and maintain a sys-
tenn of democratic governments for
the peoples of the entire earth.
THE most glowing tribute that /,
or any one else, could pay to our MEM
bership, is to express the desire that
the same lack of selfish motives shall
control their actions in the future,
as they have in the past. and that we
will continue TO do our utmost to help
win this war, upon the result Of which
depends the liberty or slavery Of man.

from the lips of Secretary Of Labor
William B. Wilson, in a patriotic ad
dress.
Not only is the American worker
more efficient than the German, but
he always has been, declared the sec
rotary. Josephus Daniels, who also
scribed the splendid work Of our
workmen in first building and then
manning the American navy.
Secretary Wilson then said:
."In previous wars it has frequently
been the case that the military forces
were able to support themselves on
the country thru which they were op-
Grating. receiving but a comparatively
small amount of supplies in the way
of munitions from the workers at
home. In modern warfare that condi-
ton has changed. It is frequently es-
timated, and I do not think anyone
knows definitely, but it is frequently
estimated that It requires from six to
ten workers at home to maintain one
soldier in the trenches. That means,
then, that the organization Of our in

the war advantage was taken by the
German government Of the various
idiosyncrasies existing among our
people, in an effort to get them to
believe that they should not put forth
their greatest effort in the production
of material.
ut was asserted that this was a
capitalistic war, that it was n war for
the benefit of capital, and that conse-
quently labor should do all that it
possibly could to hamper the war.
One of the first things that the de-
partment of labor had to undertake
a year ago was to remove that senti-
portion of the working people Of our
country and point out to them that
IL this had been a capitalist war or il
the purpose had been to promote the
welfare Of capital we never would
have engaged in the war. Prior to
our engaging in it our manufacturers,
our commercial men generally, were
in a position to demand any price
that the needs Of the billigerents in
Europe compelled them to pay for
commodities. They were able to pri-
vateer to their hearts content with
out its directly affecting the Ameri-
can people.
"And there was not the remotest
likelihood that the American gov
eminent would interfere with the
profits they were making under these
circumstances, but when We engaged
in tho war an entirely different sit
uation presented itself, and immedi-
ately the government set itself to
work to establish machinery by which
profiteering would be eliminated both

"a comparison of records of pro
duction of coal mines in wet and dry
territories gives ample proof of the
need of prohibition"
A. R. Hamilton, chairman Of the

statement:

mining communities that its complete
elimination is necessary in the effort
to speed up the mines sufficiently to

II take this opportunity for approx
ing the action of the committee in
deciding to arrange a program along
patriotic lines, as it tends to increase
the enthusiasm, so necessary to the
winning of the war with the least pos
sible sacrifice.
State Election
81 think it the duty of this organi-
cation to consider the question of
candidates to this fall election, with
special attention being given to the
personnel of those whose ambition is
directed toward the legislature.
There is sufficient competent ma
terial in the labor movement to pro-
vide the representatives necessary to
the protection Of our rights and we
should be diligent enough to prove
the statement of certain politicians to
the effect that our membership will
not stick together to lack foundation
in fact
81 desire to recommend that the
question be taken up at this time and
that the State Federation of Labor,
the Building Trades Council and the
railroad brotherhoods be requested to
participate in the deliberations. We
should not forget that there is a can
didate in the field for district Judge
who has already proven himself to
be traitor to the principle of human
rights and it is our duty to again
prove that he is a has-been in the
opinion of the citizens of this city.
Organization
II am of the opinion that there has
not been sufficient activity in the past
on behalf of the utilization of those
local unions who are not part of our
organization, but who by all of the
laws of reason should be, and / desire
to recommend that the Labor Day
committee, in visiting the various 10
cal unions of the city, should lay spe-
cial stress upon an invitation to those
locals to affiliate with the Trades and
Labor Assembly. If their Labor Day
committee is not large enough to
handle this additional work, am
certain that we can furnish more
members for this important purpose"
