LOREITES fight
AGAINST LABOR
PARTY DEMAND
YellOw Gang Joins Food
Workers Reaction
BY BERT MILLER.
Especial to The Daily WorkerS

NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 1e-A
resolution calling for the FORMATION
Of labor party passed upon the trade
unions and including as affiliated sec
tons all other political organizations
Of working class nature, upon a To-
cal, state and national basis" was de-
feated by a combination Of the follow
ers Of Ludwig Lore and the most reac-
tlonary forces in the Amalgamated
Food Workers. national convention.
held at the Labor Temple on Sunday,
Dec. IL and 10.
Three points of view manifested
themselves on this question. First
there were those who demanded that
the union have nothing to do with
political questions. Second, there
were those who thot that the worker
should be free to choose from among
existing political parties of labor.
Third came the view of the left wing
which fought for a labor party to
carry on the struggle of the workers
on the political field. Delegate Heg-
ener, Of Bakers Local 8, who thruout
the convention had been actively al
lied with the Lore forces, led by Burk-
hardt and supported him on practic-
ally every proposal, supported the
recommendation of the majority of the
resolutions committee which called
for the rejection of the labor party
resolution. Hegener declared that the
workers political parties had already
made trouble enuf and that there were
plenty of them.
Left Wing for Labor Party.
Delegate Gerber, of Bakers Local
No. was Of the same opinion. He
thot that workers should be free to
support any political party, but that
the convention had been called for or.
ganization purposes only. Gerber is
known in political circles as one of
the leading supporters Of Ludwig
Lore.
Against this the left wing delegates
conducted a valiant struggle for in
dependent political action, thru the
formation of a labor party. The fight
was begun by Delegate Kalfdes, rep
resenting the Hotel Workers Union
who pointed out the necessity of a
political party Of labor to fight the
battles Of labor" He further de-
clared that every economic struggle
is a political struggle. He showed
that while the bosses discouraged the
workers from forming their own DO
htical party they organized them
selves into powerful trusts and at the

RIGHT TO PARDON IN EnNTtrNtIpr TGCES

The decision of the Supreme court that the President has tho right to pardon in criminal con- tempt of court eases will dispose of a point that should never have been questioned.
 Such a right has been an inalicn- ablo part of the prcrogotivcs of the chief executive and any attempt 10 abridgo it would he enleavoring 10 increase the powers of the judiciary in class Of cases wherein a judge can be jury and plaintiff at the samo time,
 There is great opportunity for in- justice in such situation, as was illustrated in a southwestern state recently snI it is right that a chief executive should have the power 10 right such an injustice if he deems one has been committed by fed cral court.
 The responsibility for such action rests entirely upon tho President and he ought to be willing to ac- ccpt it and restrain himself in it's use to fitting occasions only.

FERRY SERVICE ENDS
Millions of Men and Women Carried Across East River to Long Island By Old Boats.

New York, March i. - Another relic of old New York had passed into limbo today. The passenger ferry service across the East river between Manhattan and Long Island City was discontinued last night.
 For nearly 67 years the ferryboats, operated by the Long Island rail- road, had carried millions of men and women to and from their work here. Theodore Roosevelt, Russell Sage, WilIiam K. Vanderbilt and Augustus Belmont found the craft fast enough. But the modern com muter demands modern rapid tran sit, and the tubes and bridges took
 more and more people from the boats until it was no longer profit able to opcSate them.
 In the good old days" the ferries carried S0,o00 persons daily. When they struck their flags in acknowl- cdgcment of their defeat by new
 era in transportation their patron age each day had dwindled 10 less than 900
