JOINT ACTION ].
With FARMERS
In Political Affairs Is Recon-.
mendati0n to Wisconsin
Labor Federation

APPLETON, Wis.,, July 31.-In his
report to the annual convention of
the Wisconsin state federation of
labor Secretary-Treasurer Handley
urged greater activity along nonpar-
tlsan political lines. my personal
opinion is," he said, that the Wis
consin federation of labor SHOULD
adhere to its former position insofar
as indorsing any party or faction"
The legislative committee pointed
to the success Of North Dakota farm
ers who have applied the A. F. of
L.. nonpartisan political policy by
securing pledges prior to the primary
elections and then vote for these can
d1dates. The committee recon-
mended that trade unionists in the
various localities unite with farmers
"and agree upon a man who would
not only vote for the principles for
which both organizations are stand
ing, but one who would put up a
fight for them. After picking out
a good organizer, a farmer or laborer,
who is true and tride in labor's cause
and who will subscribe to the legisla-
tive program of the federation, our
advice would be that the workers see
that such man is placed in nomin-
alton and not permit the interests
to make the selection"
A resolution calling for a five days
Mooney strike was rejected. The
convention took the position that the
state federation has no right to call
a strike. Old officials were unani-
mously re-e1ected."F

Referendum,

CHICAGO, July, 31.-At the end Of
the first day Of complete strike Of
street car employees, numbering 15,-
900, officials Of the union were pre-
pairing to call a referendum vote Of
all car men.
L. A. Busby, president Of the Chi
cago surface lines. and L. d. Bland,
treasurer Of the International union,
both blamed radicals among the car
men for voting Tuesday to strike

jority of all car workers. Bland also
summoned William D. Mahon of
Detroit, president Of the Amalga-
mated Association of Street and Elec-
trio Railway Employees Of America,
the organization to which both sur
face and elevated carmen belong.
The union officials stated that the
element that dominated the meeting
Of union men Tuesday night, had
refused to follow the advice of their
officers to hold referendum and
had voted for an immediate strike.

tion Of that element" prevented the
rank and file from expressing their
wishes on a proposal for an eight
hour day, time and a half pay for
work over eight hours, a maximum
of IS cents for surface workers AMI
81 cents for elevated carmen.
Britton I. Budd. president Of the
Elevated lines, declared that the

ers had submitted and which was re-
jected and a. strike voted, would not
remain open to the workers.

they would make no effort to operate
cars and denied reports that strike
breakers were TO- be employed.

Vars Horrors Recalled

The first episode recalls the hor-
rors Of war. There is battling in
the streets, the roar Of cannon, the
clash Of bayonets, the sound Of fall
ing bodies. The rose of dawn streaks
the sky and day breaks on scene of
desolation in the little French viii
lage. The Wayfarer wanders I'M
happily through the deserted streets.
He is met by Understanding and the
hands Of time are reversed while the
two enter Babylon and look on the
captivity Of the Hebrews.
A river stretches off to the hori-
zon. There are willows and palm
trees OH its banks. In the fore
ground are the broken columns of a
ruined pagan temple. The waters of
Babylon are bathed in moonlight.
The stars wink and go to sleep again
at the first stir of daybreak. Dawn
breaks quickly to the sound of trun1-
pet calls and music scatters the
magic and mystery Of the beautiful
moonlight scene.
The second episode-the life of

without travail. Half a dozen diff
ferent people set to work to develop
a religious theme for stage pur-
poses, but it was no easy task for
the uninitiated. Then along came the
Rev. j. E. Crowther, who had never
written anything in his life, al
though he had worked in coal mines
and done sundry things with his
hands as we'll as his head. He had
an idea for a pageant which he
gradually evolved until "The Way
farer" was complete and very much
as it stands to-day. He personally
acts as prolocutor and comes in front
Of the curtain before each episode to
deliver the preview. The central f1g-
ure is The Wayfarer, a sojourner
through life who is led out Of mist
Of doubt and despair to the foot of
the Cross by Understanding. Christ
is not actually impersonated, but
His unseen presence is continually
emphasized.
