Formation of an independent
political labor party was proposed
today in a resolution offered at
the convention of the American
Federation of Labor.
A vote on the proposal, intro
duced by Delegate M. F. Tighe, of
the Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Steel, and Tin Workers
will not be taken until the latter
part of the session.
Factory to Court
The resolution reads:
whereas, during the past
few years, labOr'S fight to
organize has shifted from the
factory to the courts:
whereas social legislation is
becoming more and more neceS-
Sary to the workers in the
United States:
whereas neither the Re
publican nor the Democratic
party can be counted upon to
further the aims or to advance
the conditions of labor;
Resolved, that the fifty-third
annual convention Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor go on
record as favOring the fOrma-
ton of an Independent Labor
party, and that it abandon the
traditional non-partiSan pOliti-
cal policy and sponsor genuine

resolutions for a compulsory six

waged over the question Of "horl-

Green Stand Awaited
Certain delegations including the
metal trades, charge that the huge
new memberships being gathered
into the A. F. of L. are being
organized mostly by industries.
President William Green was
said to have changed his colors
since the NRA in favor of verti-
