the decision Of tho State Fedora
tion Of Labor meeting here In its
annual convention. Labor In the
whole state thus adopts the defIn-
ite stand taken by labor In the
Twin Cities much earlier. The
great results secured by the farm
er.Iabor forces In their first elee-
tlon attempt last fall, when their
candidate for governor ran sec.
ond with over 111,o0o votes, and
the success Of St. Paul labor and
Duluth labor are sending men to
congress, furnished much enthu.
Iasm. The convention also has
adopted platform In harmony
with that Of the organized farm
ers, with additional planks Of
special bearing on city labor
problems.
Success In 1918.
In reviewing recent political &C.
tivities by labor, Secretary George
w. Lawson said, in part:
':Labor's candidates were Endorsed
by the organized farmers Of the state,
and were placed upon the ballots by
petition as the farmer-labor candf-
dates. They we're not successful at
the election In winning the Offices for
which they were named, but the move
ment was a great triumph neverthe'
less. The candidate for governor
polled 111,94S votes and, when we
consider that this was organized
labor's first entry into the field Of
state politics; that there were many
difficulties of magnitude to obstruct
its efforts; that the whole power of
the state government was invoked to
hamper and hinder it's progress, and
that flank movement of large pro-
portion was engineered actively
against us, the vote cast by our lead
ing candidate cannot but be consid-
cred as astonishingly large.
II desire to urge upon the conven-
ton the wisdom and importance OF
adopting the recommendations of the
executive council made in its report
to the effect that at the next session
of the legislature the labor movement
of our state, as such, unite in one es-
sential measure, namely, that of pro-
viding for the state administrations
of the workmen's compensation law"
A Strong Platform.
The more important planks in the
platform adopted by the labor con-
vention read as follows: e.
Abolition of unemployment by the
creation of opportunities for steady
work at standard wages through sta
bilization Of industry and establish
ment during periods Of depression, Of
government work on housing, road
building, reforestation, reclamation
of cutover and swamp lands, and de-
velopment Of waterpower plants.
Public ownership and operation Of

ness, stockyards, packing plants, grain
elevators, terminal markets, telegraph

ties, and the naturalization and de-

The United Grain Growers Of Can
ada, q cooperative organization,
which has had great success, was
recently Investigated on charges of
profiteering brought by the big prof.
teers as cover for their own opera
tions. The government committee
had to give the farmers a clean bill
of health. One of the charges setting
forth that the profits of the farmers
organization were distributed accord
ing to stock owned rather than accord
ing to patronage, had a particularly
strong back fire. The farmers were
able to prove that they had tried dis
tribution according to patronage and
had been expelled from the Winnipeg
Grain Exchange for so doing. The in
vestigation proved that the organized
farmers had greatly lowered the cost
Of handling grain. -.-
