FARM-LABOR
CONFERENCE
CALL ISSUED
Minnesota State Organization
Takes Initiative In
Meeting
FOUR AIMS OUTLINED
Question of Presidential Can
didate Not To Be
Discussed
FOUR AIMS OUTLINED

ST. PAUL, Minn.-Immediate
steps for formation of a national
Farmer-Labor Party whose funda-
mental object will be "an economy
of abundance rather than an &C.
onomy of scarcity" were taken
by the Minnesota Farmer-Labor
Assn, in st. Paul as it called for
a conference at the Hotel Morris
son, Chicago, May 80 and 81.
The conference, which is expect
ed to be attended by rs or 85 auth
oritative spokesmen for labor,
farm and progressive organiza-
tions throughout the United States,
will not discuss consideration of a
third party presidential candidate
in 1896, the call issued by the as
sociation announced. It's immediate
detectives, however, will be:
1. Formation of a national
! Farmer-LabOr Party.
2. Aid i'm the formation of 10
cal and state Farmer-LabOr par
ties.
8. Aid to local, state and con-
gressiOnal campaigns Of Farm
er-LabOr parties.
a. Cohesion of all labor, farm
er and progressive groups for
the purpose of building the ma
tiOnal party and making it
strong political factor.
The issuance of the call, which
bore the approval of the Mime
sofa party's state central com
mittee and Gov. Floyd B. Olson, is
in conformity with a resolution
passed at the annual convention Of
the Minnesota Farmer-Labor Par
ty at st. Paul in March.
CONVINCED
OF NECESSITY
Minnesota Farmer-Labor lead
ers are convinced of the necessity
of a national third party which
will seek fundamental changes
rather than palliative reforms. tt
objective would be a social anC
economic order which could pass
along the benefits of increased
production to the mass of the Am
erican people, and the defeat O

The call says in part:

The Federal Union elected as its
delegates to the trades and Labor
Council, Charles Joslyn, Herman
Tolbien, and Haven Perkins. The
chairman ruled that Perkins was
not eligible for membership in the
union, since he is a minister. Three
delegates representing the plaster
ers, the bartenders, and the mu-
sicians, protested this ruling, anu
the chairman gave a new excuse
each time. After the meeting he
admitted that the real reason was
that Perkins politics were too
radical and that he was trouble
maker Owe are pleased to ad-
nit that Perkins, who has been ac-
tive in the union, has made some
trouble-for the administration of
the dam.) Perkins is a militant
Socialist. Now the delegates know
what the Federal Union has known
| for long time-that the chairman
is a close friend of the dam ad-
ministration. He refused to allow
an appeal from the decision of the
the chair. He won't get away with
/ it again, as the vast majority of
the delegates are ordinary work
ters with strong desire for de-
mocracy.

party was greeted with warm en-
thuslasm on every side.

FORT PECK, May 1s-The Fed
eral Labor Union at the mass
meeting held yesterday, won the
right for workers out from bar
racks when double decked.
But the minimum wage, (com-
mon labor) is still so cents per
ho1r. --.-s-t
The workers are being pushed
pretty hard. The engineers seem
/ to be very anxious to get the dam
finished in as short a time as
possible.
Gov. Holt. one general, two
colonels and a major from the
Army Engineers Corps, were at
Fort Peck Saturday, to investigate
complaints by the Union in re-
gard to double decking at barracks
and the quality of food served at
the mess halls.
The quality of the food was
much better the day the governor
and engineers were there.
GLACGOW, May 3.--More than
eight hundred men attended an
open air mass meeting today and
demanded that residence In the
barracks at the Fort Peck dam be
optional. The executive committee
of the Federal Union was author
lied to add one representative
from as many other unions as
could be contacted rapidly and lay
the workers demand before Major
Larkin. Barracks men calculate if
residence is once made optional
other grievances such as the new
double hunks will soon disappear,
At present a man with no family
in the county must live in the
barracks or lose his job. Board Is
deducted from the pay check be
fore the worker gets it. This has
been going on for long. time, but
the double hunks were the last
straw, and the Federal Union has

LOSE AIRSHIP
COMMAND
Copyright. 1886, International
Newa Service

BERLIN, April 2 IN.SO.-A
strong likelihood is developing
that the giant dirigible Won Hin
denburg will go to the United
States May without the veteran
Zeppelin commander, DR.. Hugo
Eckener, unless the rift between
him and the Nazi regime is patched
up soon, it was stated today in
reliable quarters.
DR.. Eckener, it Is understood,
came to grips with the air ministry
during the last week of the Reichs-
tag election campaign when he
was said to have refused to fly the
Won Hindenburg over Germany as
an election stunt.
Finally he was given the al
tentative of obeying orders or
vacating his post as commander.
Although the Won Hindenburg
actually did make 72-hour flight
all over the Reich just before the
election, with pamphlets dropping
and loud speakers blaring, DR..
Eckener, so far as can be authori-
,tatively learned, is still in dis
grace"
For this reason he was not per-
mitted to pilot the Won linden
burg on her current maiden voyage
to South America. He went along
as flight supervisor" but Capt.
Ernest lehman is actual COM
mander.
German newspapers have been
forbidden to mention DR.. Eckener's
name in connection with the flight.
