(Associated Press !

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb 20
Central labor unions over the coun-
try were requested yesterday by
the American Federation of Labor's
political campaign committee to
meet March % to select local com
mittees of five to conduct in their
communities labor's campaign "to
elect it's friends and defeat its enc
mics"
Labor must make this campaign
memorable" said the request. at
must strain it's every fiber to
achieve success. Your organization
has a place in the ranks; it has a
responsibility to meet which must
be met. In order that there might
be nationwide action at the earl
lest possible moment, labor's ma
tional non-partisan campaign COM
mittee requests that every central
body call a meeting to be held
March %, 1920, at which a commit
tee of five of your able and devoted
members should be appointed.
"Your committee will manage
the local non-partisan political cam

with the national committee.
The request was signed by Sam

James OConnell, composing the eX-
ecutive committee of the general
committee.
The call to the central bodies
bore this slogan:

be candidates for president, for

TRIPLE ALLIANCE
CONVENTION WAS
A GREAT SUCCESS

The Triple Alliance convention
adjourned too late last week for
the Bulletin to reach the weekly
press of the State with a resume of
its proceedings. The convention
was attended by approximately 400
delegates. representing the farmers
of the State, the railway unions,
and the city and country workers
embraced in the State Federation
of Labor
The most hopeful sign for the
future success of the Alliance, was
the intense interest shown by the
entire delegation in the affairs of
the Alliance, its method of organi-
zation and future policies. Wide
differences Of opinion We're express
ed over methods and policies, while
there We're those in attendance who
charged that because everyone
wouldn't agree to their particular
plan that all who disagreed with
them were purposely trying to dis
rupt the Alliance.
Yet, the delegates as a whole.
from all groups, gave the lie to this
assertion by sticking out to the end,
thrashing out all of the problems
confronting the Alliance on their
merits, getting full and clear un-
destanding Of all questions, and
finally reaching a complete and
harmonious agreement.
The success of the Alliance has
been assured as a result of the con-
structiye work accomplished by the
convention-a surcess that it is
doubtful II should ever had attained
had the convention not been held.
The constitution provides for the
establishment of a complete demo-
cratic precinct, city, county and
state organization. 1t provides the
method through which membership
can be secured therein, but does
not obligate membership in the AL
lance to membership in any other

basis, resulting in the satisfaction
Of all delegates with the program
adopted All the delegates of every
group are determined to win in the
coming political campaigns" de
clares Short.
The now constitution provides for
a thorough going democratic or
ganization, each group to meet by
itself, unofficially discussing prob
lens pertaining to itself, thus safe
guarding the entire membership
against domination by any single
group, believes Short. Action is re-
served to the convention as a
whole.
"It would be quite easy for an
outsider, not familiar with actual
occurances of the convention, to
arrive at erroneous conclusions, y
said Short, discussing misleading
press reports of the convention. "In
fact a number of the delegates la
bored under the false impression
that labor wanted to dominate un-
til the final result dissipated all
thought of such desire on labor's
part.
"As matter of fact, what labor
fought for was a program provid-
ing against the domination of the
Alliance by any group. We wanted
to place the affairs of the organiza-
ton in a position to make it at all
times responsive to the will of the
majority, at the same time safe

Financial Cooperation.

Geo. o. Travis, of the Listman
service company, of Seattle, spoke
on financial cooperation. He urged
working men to quit depositine
their money in privately owned
banks where it is used to finance
enterprises, but to establish their
own banks and take the profits of
banking for their own use. He
showed that the workers who de-
post their money in other than
their own banks are building for
tunes for others than workers. He

FIFTH REGIMENT
u. S. MARINES TO
BE REORGANIZED

The Major General Commandant
of the Marine Corps has recently is
sued orders that the famous Fifth
Regiment of Marines will be re-or-
ganized at the Marine Corps Camp
at Quantico, Virginia.
Instructions have been given all
Recruiting Officers to accept for
enlistment all former service men
from the Army and the Marine
Corps who desire to join this Regi-
ment. Upon their enlistment they
will be transferred from the Recruit
ing Office direct to Quantico, Nir-
ginia. It is expected that a large
number of eX-service men from both
the Army and the Marine Corps will
take advantage of this offer, and
it is the intention to have the Regi-
ment composed of all former serv-
ice men. and it is expected to be
the elite regiment of all regiments
in the service.
The Fifth Regiment of Marines
were the first to stop the German
advance at Chateau Theirry and
Belleau Woods. They took part in
all the major engagements of the
American forces, and especially dis
tinguished themselves in the Cham
paigni Aisne, Verdun, Belleau
Woods, St. Mihiel, Chateau Theiry
sector and the Argonne offensives.
Their capture of Mount Faucon in
less than eight hours after attack
ing is acknowledged as one of the
finest and most distinguished ac-
tions of the American forces during
the War.
The Regiment was awarded more
War Crosses and CroiX D'Guerre' s
than any regiment in the American
forces and is one of the two regi-
ments of all our forces that was cit
ed twice by the French Govern
ment in Army orders and awarded
the honor of wearing the fourra-
gere.
Any former service men desiring
information in regard to enlisting
for the Regiment should write or
apply either TO the Marine Corps
Recruiting Station, 101 Yesler Way,
Seattle, Wash, or any city where a
Marine Corps Recruiting Station is
located, or to their local Postmaster.
