Great Labor Convention
Called BY Illinois
Federation.

Following the Withdrawal Of
the Labor Group from the Ma
tional Industrial Conference mt
Washington, the Illinois Fedora
ton of Labor, in convention at
Peoria. Illinois, authorized the
sending OF n message to Samuel
Gompera, President of the Amer
can Federation of Labor and to
the members Of the Executive
Council, urging the immediate issu
ance of a call for u special conven
ton of the American Federation
of Labor in Washington.
The message urges that official
repI esentatives of the railway
brotherhoods be invited to partici
pate, the object of the meeting to
be the "perfecting Of IN offensive
and defensive alliance of the inter
national unions Of the United
States and Canada, and the Rail
way brotherhoods, more effective
ly to fight out the life. and death
struggle Of the workers now IN
progress and pending" The mes
sage assails the ''steel trust for
methods used in the present strike
and says: "Too long has labor per
mitted these tyrants TO keep the
workers on the defensive"
That this call il intended an u
first move iD a general industrial
strike for full recognition of what
labor considers it's just
rights seems TO be indicated by
the fact that the call suggests, az
Dne of the objects of the proposed
conference, the "levying of an az
,essment upon every organized
worker in the United States and

VI his net earnings, and upon ev
,ry officer or organized labor not

Drainage For Entire State
Outlined at Meeting
Last Saturday.
State Association OF Commercial
Secretaries Takes Important Step
In Shreveport Convention,

Secretaries "A association met ~
Shreveport last week, and as
a result, Uncle Sam will be
asked to furnish Louisiana
with blue prints and q com
prehensive survey as prell-
minary step to the initiating
of a great statewide drainage
movement, which is to be
conducted on an immense
scale that is figured to solve
this great problem.
Other subjects that received
the attention of this body
were good roads, a greater
Agricultural College, and the
proposed auto tax law.
The drainage question was
discussed from the viewpoin,
of a paramount necessity to
the full development of Lou

health and general progress
Of the state, ranking second
only to good roads. But no
plan could he devised whereby
movement to that end would
be successful without a com
prehensive survey Of the en-
tire state, so the federal gov
eminent will be asked to
make that survey and furnish
10 the state a set Of blue prints
covering every parish and its
waterways in full.

committee was appointed to
axe it up with the federal
government. 1t is believed
hat the survey will be granted
y the government, which
las displayed keen interest

ions in the south.
