ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. 49, The
Farmer-Labor conference which was
called to strengthen the Farmer-La-
Dor Party of this state organized per.
permanently this afternoon with one
hundred and eiehty-five delegates
seated, representing trade unions, CO.
operatives, farmers and workers. or
CARNATIONS.
The spirit of the conference seems
to be for a strong reputation Of the
propaganda spread over the country
| by enemies of independent political
| action by the workers and farmers,
that the Minnesota workers and farm
ers were ready to abandon the Farm
er-Labor Party, and go back to the
policy of picking the best men on the
republican and democratic ticket, as
! favored by the American Federation
| of Labor.
Anti-ImperiaIist Sentiment.
Sentiment is particularly strong
against the recent adventures of the
| government in following out the inn
| perialist policies in support of Wall
I, Street investments in Nicaragua,
Mexico and China. Resolutions cali
ing for withdrawal of American naval
forces from Nicaragua and against
| the threatening war with Mexico have
been submitted to the resolutions
committee. The Ramsey county dele
cation has a resolution before the
committee calling for the impeach-
ment of Kellogg because of his policy
in Central America, leading the coun-
| try toward war

ton for the building OF the Farmer
Labor Association as the directing or
ganization Of the Farmer-Labor Party,
and basing it upon the units of the
workers and farmers organization,
which are to send delegates direct TO
all conferences.
Urge Others to Follow.
Other resolutions call upon the
workers and farmers of the country
to follow the example of Minnesota
In building party of workers and
farmers by organizing parties in their
own state with the view of organic
ing a national party in 1928 and plac.
Ing a national ticket in the field, and
for the calling of a conference of the
existing Farmer-Labor Parties In the
Northwest and Southwest in order
to strengthen the movement.
Small Opposition.
The opponents to the Farmer-Labor
Party in the labor and farmer move
ment OF the state have thus far not
dared to raise their voices for
change OF policy thru which the work.
ers and farmers would retrace their
steps and go back to the old parties.
