course OF the 11SporV OF American
labor have been made here. The
United Nine Workers convention
just closed took steps that cannot
be retraced and which affect eT-
/ cry working man and woman, and
child IN the United States.
One Of the most important
Of these moves, from the long
time point Of view, Is the decision
OF the miners 70 part with he
i American Federation OF Labor II
II becomes necessary 70 maintain
their policy OF industrial union o.
gsniZation for the unorganlzed N
mass production Industries. Wheth- 1
er they VIII actually sever ties or
not remains for the Tampa con
venti0n OF the A. r OF L. 70 de-
! eide. There Is no doubt but that
the L. n. W. leaders would much /
rather remain within the fedora 4
lion and from that point work 70
gain their objective.
They realize full well the ser
lous dlSunlty they would create N
the labor movement II they we're
% attempt establishment Of q sep
arate union movement.
But they are impatient with the
czutiOuSness OF A. T. OF L. lead
ers- There Is IN the ranks OF he
Z. N ". the feeling that now Is
the time 70 strike for orgznizs-
lion OF the unorganized. The fed
Grafton, they charge, Is capable q
organizing the men outside OF n
ions into powerful, effective union
groups.
Another step Of great import !
ance taken BY the miners Is
their endorsement Of President
Roosevelt. 1t marks q break /.
