struggle For Humanity"


people Of America.
struggle For Humanity"
This is Il struggle for humanity ;
the shorter week is not only to give
but also to give every worker an OPP
portunity to enjoy the fruits of his
labor. Long hours in our industry
benefit only few hoggish individuals
and work to the detriment not only of
all the workers In this industry but to
the detriment of labor everywhere.
81 therefore appeal to the members
of the Amalgamated Association to
take advantage of every opportunity
when making new contracts to bring
their hours of labor down to the hours
of labor established by the labor move
ment of our country--to the 40-hour
week We are looking to the future
not the past. We are looking to the
benefit of mankind-not few indi-
viduals.
1T is your duty as organized work
ers to fall i'm line and l appeal to you
to take up the battle cry with the de
mand of labor for the 40-hour week
and no overtime. Where it is neces-
sary to have overtime-at least double
pay for such overtime should be es-
tablished.
Remember, we are struggling for
the future-to establish conditions not
only for ourselves but for our children
and our children's children"

Democrats Call For Platform
That Stresses Foreign Affairs

Washington - Two Senators
who will help draft the 1914
Democratic platform called in
unison this week for a strong,
plainly worded foreign policy
plank to let the world know Am
erica will take hand in inter-
national affairs after the war.
Both Senators Truman (D-Mo)
and Tunnel (D-DeD agreed the
platform should emphasize for
eign affairs rather than domestic
issues. They will join 81 other
Democrats in Chicago two days
before the national convention
opens on July 10 to begin sorting
out material for a platform.
With most of the convention
preliminaries out of the way,
Virginia added to evidence of
southern disaffection in the par
ty by voting Saturday night to
leave her "a delegates uninstruct-
ed on whether to support a fourth
term for President Roosevelt but
directed them not to vote for re-
nomination Of Vice-President
Wallace.

of the 1,176 votes:
Pledged to President Roosevelt

Claimed for Roosevelt 408.
Pledged and claimed for for
mer Gov. Joseph B. Ely of Mas
sachusetts 8.

Needed to nominate 589.
Most of the uninstructed dele
gates are from southern States,
where anti-fourth term talk has
been strongest within the party.

French, the men conversed
through an interpreter, who at
one point got so mixed up he
spoke French to General Per-
shing and English to General de
