Thus in British Columbia platform
was adopted which stated: "The Fed
Grated Labor party is organized for
the purpose of securing industrial leg

and democratic control of the means

And in Manitoba, a platform was
adopted which included as its first
plank the statement: "The Labor
party stands for the transition Of CAPT

The Canadian Labor Party.
The labor political organizations in
the various provinces and in many
cases in the different cities have
sprung up independently and each
drafted its own program. Two efforts
toward uni6cation have been made
in 1921, at the meeting of - Trade
and Labor Congress in \, lnnipeg,
there was organized a Canadian Labor
party. The general object of the
party, as stated by its promoters, is
to unity the political powers of the
worker and generally to promote their
political, economic and social welfare.
The platform adopted was very mild
in tone. The preamble stated: 1--WE

to unite all workers of whatever

affiliations 1t adopted bylaws pro-
viding that no member of the party
might retain membership in any other
political organization and that no can

parties should be endorsed by the
party. The platform, among many 9th

Of wealth, the naturalization of
banking and credit systems, the legis-
lative action thru the initiative and re-
call, etc. 1t further announced: "That
we stand for the industrial freedom
for those who toll and the political
alterations of those who fer so long
have been denied justice"
The Trades and Labor Congress ap-
proves the formation of labor party.
The annual convention of the Trades
and Labor Congress was held in Sept.
1917. 1t formally approved the work
