They believed that the legislation

cured more readily: and effectively
through non-partisan political activ-

the fact that the legislation most

revived the enthusiasm of those who
believed in labor party politics, and,
at one time, a number Of labor men,
were elected as the result of the
widespread influence which had
been developed by that organization.
But the very political methods ap-
piled by the knights Of Labor plant

organization, as an industrial and
political factor, passed away.
There was general revival of Ia

During the eight years, from 1880
to 1888, there were organized the
Union Labor Party, the United La
Dor Party the Progressive Labor
Party, the American Reform Party,
the Homesteaders and the Anti-Mo-
nopolists, all Of these basing their
strength upon the trade-union move

the Union Labor Party polled- some
10000 votes.

though the unity Of action so weak,
that in the fall of 1880, three sepa-
rate labor parties were in the field
in New York.
In 1880, a Labor Party was
launched in Boston, Mass, but it
failed to gather sufficient strength
to make its efforts effective.
The idea of local labor parties
spread through Massachusetts, and
in 1888 the Labor Party Of Lowell,
Mass, placed q full municipal ticket
in the field, but without success.
Immediately after the Civil War,
the workers, believing that their in
terests required the organizing of la

tcntion to this end, and in 1867 three
states-New York, Connecticut and
Michigan-held labor party conven-
tions. Their efforts, however, did not
result In the election of many of
their candidates, the results of the
election being most disappointing.

Labor Union. movement in which
President Silvis was a leading figure.
The National Labor Party was or
ganized to work in the industrial and
the political field. It had in view
federating the national and interna-
tional unions into an organization
which would unite the trade union
lists for industrial and political pur-
poses. It progressed to the extent
Of naming national ticket, but the
votes did not materialize and, owing
partly to the death Of President Sill
Wis and partly to its political failure,
the National, Labor Party passed out
Of existence. With it's dissolution
came 4 serious weakening Of the
tlade-union movement, a number Of
the national unions losing q large
number Of their members and some
Of them going upon the rocks of dis
solution.
The idea of a labor party. how
ever, still held the minds of many
workers. and in examining the fall
ure of previous labor parties, some
Of the leaders were convinced that
the principle was sound and that
the failures which had overtaken
previous efforts were due to faulty

On more than one occasion wage
earners in the United States have
erdeavored to solve some of their
legislative problems by the launch
ing of labor parties; in fact, the
progress in securing legislative relief
for intolerable conditions was so
slow that, at one time, the workers
were convinced that their only hope
lay in the organizing Of labor
parties.
It was the experiences which the
workers had with labor parties which
led them to realize that some more
effective and permanent method
must be adopted if the legislative
remedies for which they sought were:
to be secured.
Labor's political efforts can be
grouped into three periods-from
1927 up to the Civil War, from the
Civil War to the time of the knights
Of Labor, and the methods which
have been carried into effect by the
American Federation of Labor since
that time.
Apparently the first Labor party
in the United States was the one or
ganized in Philadelphia in 1927 It
met with but temporary success and
then ceased to exist.

Aroused Over Police Rule Of
Private Detectives,
WILLIAMSTOwN. w. Va, July

WILL1AMSTOWN, w. Va, July 9.
1.-THE motto Of West Virginia,
'Mountaineers are always free,' will
be made effective" declared Mother
Jones in an address to over 5000
miners of Mingo county. A drench-
ing rain did not deter the workers
from coming out Of the mountains,
the tent colonies Of evicted strikers
and neighboring towns. Mayor Por-
ter of this place assured the meeting
that he was in perfect sympathy with
their efforts to rid the state of Bald
Win-Feltz detective thugs, employed
by the coal owners.
Secretary Pauley of the West Vir-
ginia federation of labor told the
miners that trade unionists through
out the state are behind them in this
fight for law and order.
The recent murder Of the mayor
Of Matewan and other citizens by
the Baldwin-Feltz detective thugs,
who were attempting to evict miners
without due process Of law, has
aroused organized labor to greater
activity against these private armies
of the coal owners. The same con-
clifton prevails in Logan and Nc
DoWell counties. Governor Cornwell
ignores these outlaws while deliver.

on the need for 100 per cent Amer

Matawan, Mingo county, that the
battle occurred on May 19 between
Baldwin-Felts private detectives, cit
liens and miners, resulting in the
death of ten men. The Baldwin-Felts
gunmen were in the employ of coal
companies, and their principal duty
was to prevent miners from joining
the union. A local union was or
ganized at Matawan and the COM
pany sent the detectives to Mata-
wan to evict the union men and their
families from company houses. This
caused the conflict in which Albert
Felts and six other detectives were
killed, along with Mayor Testerman
and two miners.

The turmoil of the war drove these
