A list OF RADICAL RESOLUTIONS.

In addition to the resolution proposing the rasaren.
dunn on war. the Federation of Labor new in session Il
Denver. has before 1t for cons1deration q number of res.
oirttons of peculiarly radical type. One reference Ia thl
war resolution makes the assertion that var ara fire..
QuentSy brought about. by persons engaged In trade for
the protection OF their so-called sacred rights In lrrof1ta
~ mas oeccse quite customary to. denounce profits q
something 4r1moral- Tho fact is@that the rtsht OF the
individual 20 his profits IL as sacred as any other rishta
which he has provided, Of course, his profits have been
legttmAtey obtained. There Is the same confusion here
that exists With reference to the discrimination between
WHIT are called human rights and what are called nrop.
ery ftghtA Human rights by the dennasogus are IL
Ways held to- be superior. There is really no difference.
Property has no rights. Human beings! have rights to
the freedom OF their persons, the security Of their lives,
and the possession Of their property, and each Of these
rights belongs to them and can not be invaded without
violation Of the basic principles Of human society.
i Other resolutions provide for the government owner.
ship and democratic operation OF the transportation sys-
TENS of the United States, and the reduction Of freight
to their owners. Nothing ie said about any provision
relating to the constantly increasing deficits under gov
eminent operation to be met. Obviously there is only one
source from which they could be met. namely, that of
taxation. The proposition therefore, is that the govern.
iment shall acquire ownership Of the railroads, shall turn
over their operation to their employees. (for this IL the
only democratic" method), and tax the general public
for the millions upon millions Of money which would be
required to make up the difference between the cost Of
operation and the receipts.
These are some of the proposals which are before
the federation. How strongly they will be supported -
unknown at this time. It Is certain that there 10 a
numerous body in the federation committed to doctrines
of this kind and 1t is equally certain that even il this
element is In the minority 1t will accomplish its purpoee
and commit the organization to the radical program,
unless those OF it's members who are really in favor Of
sound methods in governing and in industry bes&tr tne1a.

Of people Of the opportunity Of meeting and hearinl

OF the roads and the threatening skies the decision Of
the conYnittee in charge had been, until early Thursday

found impossible to visit the grove, to hold q meeting il
the village, so that all who could reach the place nigh
be awarded by hearing directly the message which Mr.
|Lowden had come to deliver. Telephone adytces from
the western part OF the county indicated that even tht
would not be practicable, as heavy rain had faller
through the night, and the situation was declared to b
opeless. The announcement OF program made in Thu
Herald yesterday morning was that decided on the pre-
vious evening. and the program remained unchanged
until morning.
Arangeusnts may be made for a picnic at a late,
date, but It is not likely that Governor Lowden can be

ana the third $4,000.
Tho petition alleges the truck manu-
faoturers are insolvert and owe $780,
