The strike. they say, is only one
manifestation OF the growing dissstts-

in the labor movement, and, as they

the demand for control by a younger

Friends OF Gompers declare that those
behind II are seeking to reduce his
power, realizing their inability to de-
feat him for reelection.

declared to be characterization" OF

charge that the present council Is far
from Representative, Is dominated by
Gompers. and does not always heed
the wishes Of the rank and file. The
railroad unions believe they have a
particular grievance sgainst II be
cause OF its failure to obey the in

The plan proposed is TO have the
heads OF the different departments of
the federation constitute the council
together with the president and sec
retary of the federation, instead OF
electing the members at large. 70
At the present time there are only
five departments in. the federation
the metal trades, the building trades,
the mine workers. and the railroad
employees each having one. Another
is devoted TO the promotion OF the

This convention embraces only the

II was the opinion at the headquar-

that the present strike would never

A. similar opinion is shared by loca

THE LYNCHING PLANK

The lynching question is not a
national issue. 1t is question
which is entirely within the jur-
isdiction of the government of
the various states. Only national
questions should be considered
in a national platform. The Re.
publican leaders knew this when
they put the anti-lynching plank
in their platform. They knew
they were holding out promise
which was beyond their power tc
redeem. Each state must solve
this problem for itself. 1t was a
direct appeal to the passions and
prejudices of the colored race and
relied upon their ignorance for its
effect. Nearly every lynchine
that occurs in the United States
is perpetrated in the south in
punishment for crimes committed
against white women by negroes
There are but few cases of lynch
ing, perhaps less than half doz.
en- in all the states per year. The
man who is lynched if he is guilty
deserves the punishment which
he gets and will have no sympathy
from true men or women, either
white or black.
No state upholds lynching. All
have laws under which it may be
punished, but the grave crimes
that are sometimes committed
against the women of the south
may to some extent be plead in
justification of the unlawful acts
of the mob. The appeal made by
the Republicans, in this plank, to
prejudice and ignorance, was
pure demagogery. They knew
they had no power in the premises.
1t was criticism upon the state
governments and reflection upon
all of the better element of the
colored race to assume that they
had any sympathy for a criminal
who was guilty of the foulest of
crimes.
Can the Republican party find
no important issues upon which
to wage it's campaign? Are there
no wrongs within their jurisdic-
tion which they can right? Must
