Farmer-Labor Party Dead;
To Take No Active Part in
Campaign, Leaders Announce

Wills, vice chairman Illinois branch
and Robert M. Buck, editor of the
official party organ. The statement
does not officially call off the ma
tional convention, set for July a, but
states that it will be impossible to
hold it. Submitting to the national
committee the question of officially
calling off the convention has been
postponed until after the ST. Paul
June II convention, which the COM
munists are expected to control.
Chicago Federation Changes Its
Stand
The Chicago Federation of Labor
evidently believes that the state
ment marks the end of the farmer
labor party, as it again is backing
the non-partisan political policy of
the American Federation of Labor,
after supporting the plan of sep
arate labor party for six years. In
1918 the Chicago central body dis
carded the A. F. of L. policy to
launch the labor party, which in 1920
became the farmer-labor party.
This action was taken on recon-
mendation of John Fitzpatrick, pres
ident of the Chicago Federation, who
read statement referring to the de-
e 1oh o,.fxy IN
take no active part in the 1924 po-
litical campaign.
President Fitzpatrick's recommen-
dation was concurred in by an over
whelming vote, the only objectors be-
ing delegates from the workers or
communist party. In his statement
Fitzgerald said:
Only One Position For Party
to Take
The bona fide farmer-labor party
was created to serve the workers and
the farmers and not to confound and
despoil their political hopes, but with
the chaotic conditions of all these
conflicting, seeding and dual groups
there is only one honest position
that can be taken by the bona fide
farmer-labor party, and that is to
cease activities until this hysteria or
mania for control has passed over.
'The present situation compels ac-
ton. The time has arrived when this
decision must be made, and in order
to end this confusion and prevent
further exploitation of labor unions
and farmer organizations and what
ever the fates have in store for the
political future of the labor move
ment, we cast our lot with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor"

past several months than ever before
in the history of our organization.
They have been and will continue to
villify, condemn and misrepresent
your international officials because
that is their business. They feel that
by doing so they can stop the great
progress being made by our interna-
tional union. Surely it is time
for our membership to give consider
alton to the radical disruptionists
whose chief object seems to be to
destroy.
Unions Progress Must Not Be
Hampered
ut is up to our organization
through Its local unions as well as
the International Association to ex-
ercise disciplinary measures without
fear or favor where necessary for the
general good and benefit of our mems,
bership as whole, and the sooner
that this policy is realized and adopt
ed the better it will be for all con-
cerned and the more rapid will be
our progress. No one and especially
myself wants to see an injustice done
anyone who is member of our or
ganization, or for that matter any
other person, but something must be
done within our organization to curb
the activities of the |. w. w. radi-
Gals.
eve intend to continue and will
contiAue, regardless of what the |.

the future is bright The coming
summer is filled with promise for
plenty of work for the men of our
trade. Let us take advantage of
every opportunity to build up our or
ganization with good, competent,
capable, reasonable men, who are not
of the radical sort. Now is the time
to correct those evils within our own
organization"

Gust |. W. w. Disruptionists,
Iron Workers Head Urges
in Warning to Membership

BY International Labor News Service
st. Louis, Mo.-Branding propa-
ganda Of the I. w. w. as a menace
to the trade union movement, P. j.
Morrin, general president of the In
ternational Association of Bridge,
Structural and Ornamental Iron Work
ers, warns the Associations member
ship against efforts of @the "wob-
blies" to disrupt the organization.
Raising the question as to where
the money comes from to pay for the
scurrilous propaganda sent broad
cast to the iron workers local unions,
Mr.. Morrin says that l. w. w. de-
structionists are active in the organ
ization and are seeking to destroy it.
Warns of Men Who Continually
Find Fault
Pointing out that within the ranks
of the Iron Workers Union are men
who make it their business to contin-
ually find fault with. local and inter-
national officials, in an evident effort
to confuse the mind of the member
ship and make it dissatisfied with the
present form of organization, Mr..
Morrin says:
IF you will watch and weigh care
fully the arguments presented by
such men you will find that their con-
demnation is not confined to their
own organization alone. This is evil
dence that it is the international
trade union ideals that arouses their
antagonism, otherwise they would not
condemn international trade union
ism as a whole. The idea of the I.
w. w. is and has been bitterly op-
posed to the international trade union
movement as represented by the
American Federation of Labor
through it's various international
unions and departments of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
l. w. w. Main Purpose to Destroy,
Morrin Says
''The fallacy of the I. w. w. prin-
ciples have been proven time and
time again. They want to bring
about a condition in industry where
men can work at anything that they
can see fit regardless of the trade
unions having jurisdiction over this
particular craft, which would bring
about the disruption of all unions.
II am directing this matter to the
attention of our membership because
from present indications many of our
local unions have within their ranks
many l. w. w. reptiles under cover
who are inwardly seeking and work
ing necessarily to br4k down inter-
national trade unionism. They
never miss an opportunity to con-
denim or villify. If there is no ex-
cuse apparently they make one. To
all intent and purposes their main
object is to Destroy"
Declares l. w. w. More Active
Now Than Fever
Citing instances of l. w. w. tac-
tics within the Iron Workers Asso-
citation, Mr.. Morrin goes on to say:

active now and have been for the

Chicago, H. - The farmer-labor
party of the United States, to all in
tents and purposes, is no more.
Admitting that it is receiving no
support and declaring that the con-
fusion caused by numerous farmer
labor movements precludes any in
telligent understanding of independ-
ent political action by workers and
farmers, the farmer-labor party has
announced its intention of dropping
out of active participation in the 1924
campaign.
While statements have been issued
by the national office of the farmer
labor party and by the executive
committee of the Cook county branch,
asserting that the party is not dis
solved but maintains its organiza-
tion and name, biding its time to
resume activity, observers believe
that the party is dead.
Impossible to Hold Convention,
Leaders Say
The national office statement is
signed by five leaders of the party,
as follows: ]. G. Brown, national
secretary; John Fitzpatrick, member
national committee; David A McVey,
secretary Illinois branch and chair
man Cook county branch; Charles F.

signatures of President Gompers and
Secretary Frank Morrison, in its en-
tirety, is as follows:
"At the recent meeting of the exec
utive council of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, the whole plan and pro-
gram Of American organized labor's
political campaign were discussed.
Definite demands for labor were for
mulated to be incorporated in the
political platforms.
"Outstanding representative men in
the labor movement were mentioned
in connection with the nomination for
the office of president by the
major political parties.
"In furtherance of this purpose the
executive council made a declaration
upon this whole question which it was
directed should be transmitted to or
ganized labor of our country. The
declaration is as follows:
Devoted to the cause of American
principles of justice and freedom, and
patriotically desirous of contributing
the efforts of the working people of
f,,r nh
true Americanism and of the improve
ment in the life and of the standards
and conditions of work of the toiling
masses of our country, the American
Federation of Labor through its ex-
ecutive council enters the impending
political campaign for the selection
and election of president and vice
president of the United States and of
senators and representatives, for the
purpose of service to the people and
institutions of our common country.
"'In keeping with the traditional
policy of the American Federation of
Labor, the executive council in regu-
lar session assembled, considering our
duties as American citizens and our
responsibilities as the representatives
of Americas wage earners, do hereby
manifest and express to the conven-
tions of the major political parties
to the conventions of the major polit-
ical parties Of our country the earnest
hope and pressing insistence that the
declaration of intentions to be for
mulated by each of these political par
ties containing pledges to be redeem
ed by congressional and executive
action, shall embrace the full pro-
lection and promotion Of the rights
and interests of the great mass of
the people Of the republic-the farm
ers and wage earners.
1T is the further hope land insist
ence of the American wage earners
that founded upon a platform of
honor, honesty, and progress, candi-
dates will be nominated for presi-
dent and vice-president of the United
States who shall commend themselves
