open-that is, to unite and organize
politically into a farmer-labor party.
This fact the militant forces in the
labor movement have constantly en-
phasized.
The convention held in st. Paul on
June II took an important step in this
direction. The Cleveland convention
Of the Conference for Progressive Po-
litical Action, composed mainly of re-
dictionary labor" leaders, refused to
recognize this necessity and thereby
betrayed the interests of the workers
and farmers. We have no confidence
in such leadership.
Feet in Old Parties.
Senator LaFollette, in announcing
his candidacy refused to throw his
support to independent political ac-
ton by the workers thru the forma-
ton of farmer-labor party. He thus
definitely repudiated all sincere eff
forts dn this direction. He has be-
come the candidate of small bankers
and Independent manufacturers. He
refuses to cut loose from the Repub-
lican party. His running mate, Bur
ton X. Wheeler, refuses to cut loose
from the democratic party.
Support of LaFollette can be of no
benefit to the workers. The LaFol-
lette movement leads away from the
real issues, in that 1t relies upon the
present system of capitalist govern
ment for an adjustment of the griev-
anoes of the workers. It is therefore
distinct menace to the successful
development Of organized labor.
Leaders Destroying Unions.
The reactionary policy toward the
farmer-labor party issue, as officially
expressed by the leadership of the
A. r. Of l., is destroying the power
of resistance of our unions to the on
slaughts Of the employers. The per-
secutions and attacks of the capital
list government thru inJunctions and
the like is working hand in hand with
these reactionary policies and helping
in this destructive process.
In order to maintain, build up and
strengthen the labor movement; In
order to unite our forces so as to be
able to meet the attacks Of capital
ism, militant policies, militant meth
DDS and militant tactics are necessary.
This Cook county conference recog-
nizes that the Workers Party is pur-
suing such militant methods. The
Workers Party has repeatedly warned
against the danger Of following La
Toilette, because that means a repu-
diation Of the Farmer-Labor Party
idea. In view Of these facts this con-
ference indorses the national and To-
cal candidates Of the Workers Party
for the November elections.

Stock Tumble Partly Explained.
The changing of the word 'Corpo-
ration to Company in the name of
the Standard Plate Glass Company
was held partly responsible for a
break today in the quotation of the
shares of that concern. The altera-
tion of the title necessitated the re-
moval from the trading list of the
Stock Exchange of the shares of the
old name and the substitution there
for of the new. The first notice of
removal falling to mention the sub
stitution apparently led to some hasty
liquidation of the shares.
