crushing tyranny of monopolistic power. Those
calm certainly call for the serious considera
tion of the delegates to this convention. They
are fraught with pregnant and burning on»
tim of the hour. We have a duty to perform,
and we should not shrink from doing it.
The efforts of the toiling [nausea of our coun

dltlone have been Inn: in the spirit of the hit-
terot antagonism Our methods to gradually
improve the masses have been regarded and
treated at if we were the enemies rather than
the friends of the human family.
War Against Labor Organisations.
War has practically been declared against
thelahor organisations and war measures re
sorted to in the eflorte to crush them. But will
they be crushed! We answer: “No! A thou-
sand times no!" The labor movement is the
manifmtatiou of that unrest horn of the con-
viction that injustice prevails which needs
remedying and aupplantlng by justice sud

tions ofthe toiling nasal, as well no lays bare
their wrongs. lt lives in their minds and heart.
/ and will not and cannot be crushed. Organiza-
tion is the watchword of the hour. made neces~

power to brutaline and degrade.
Legislation in also of incalculable value to us.
and in order to secure this boon we should en-
deavor to wean the workers from being po
lillcnl followers at any party of whatever name
known.
The eight hour movement still claim it lnrge
it is idle to say that her
cause we were not entirely successful in its en-
forcement for all workers in the past, for that
reason it is useless for no to make the odor: to
establish that limitation of the daily hours of
labor. and I am thoroughly convinced that fur.
ther aggressive action by this convention would
be productive of ssgood it not hotter results

than those heretofore obtained.
Unrestricted Immigration an ltvll.
Unrestricted immigration is a great injury
to the working people of our country. and this
convention ehonld formulate and demand such
legislation as will best protect our interests.
We do not wish to loin in the general cry of
completely shutting out all. but that some
regulation and restriction is necessary is too
plain a duty to be shirked.
In our elorts to carry out the instruction of
thelaet convention petitions signed by more
than snow organised workin‘meu were for-
warded to congress requesting that body to re-
frain from acting upon the question of opening
enclosing the World‘s fair on Sundays. Not
the petition and our protest,
mane. practically closed the fair upon the
day most readily at the disposition ofthe
workers.
As a nutter of fact, the days the wage
earners will have the best opportunity to visit
the World‘s fair will boon Sundays. A visit to
it and an examination of the product of the
genius of man cannot tend to demorallse or do
entirely foreign to its sphere.
