JOHNPJREY
Addressed Five Hundred
Workingmen and Women
Saturday Night, on La
bor's Non-Partisan Politi
cal Campaign.
A crowd of about $ve hundred
working: men and women gathered in
front of the court house last Satur
day night and listened to John P.
Frey, editor of the International
Molders' Journal, deliver his address
on labor's non-partisan political cam
paign as inaugurated by the Ameri
can Federation of Labor.
The meeting was presided over by
Stanley Ogg, president of the Co
operative Trades and Labor Council,
who presented Mr. Frey in a splendid
manner.
When Frey arose he stated that he
hardly knew how to address the gath
ering since the ladies have a vote,
and then said he would address all as
citizens.
Mr. Frey immediately launched
into his discussion of the non-partisan
campaign of the American Federation
of Labor, and in the early part of his
address discussed at some length the
rocent steel strike and the attitude
taken by the governor and other of
ficials of Pennsylvania towards the
steel workers, denying them the privi-!
ilege of holding meetings in their own
halls. He said that the steel strikers
'were debarred from holding meetings
in their own state of Pennsylvania,
and were compelled to come over into
Ohio to hold their meetings. He also
stated that we wanted a governor of
a state who will allow working men
to meet. This privilege was granted
to them by the governor of Ohio.
He said that neither party has a
clean sheet for legislation, but there
are men in each party who have done
things for labor and these men should
not be forgotten by labor. In his re
marks he said that he has been fre
quently asked why the American Fed
eration has not organized a political
party. His answer to this was that
there are too many classes in the
ranks of labor, and that the A. F.
of L. believes it unwise to organize
on class lines.
In 1906 the non-partisan political
campaign was started by the Federa
tion, and it gave the records of men
in congress who voted against labor
legislation. In this campaign out of
ten men who voted against the labor
legislation, seven were defeated, and
the seven men elected in their places
passed the desired legislation.
Mr. Frey then took up the work
men's compensation law and the man
ner in which it is handled in Ohio,
which has become the model for sim
ilar laws and their administration in
other states. While on this subject,
Mr. Frey asked his hearers to look
into the records of the two men aspir
ing to the highest office within the
gift of the people and ascertain their
attitude towards this beneficent law.
The Allen industrial court law of
Kansas was then taken up in detail
and opposed by Mr. Frey.
The part the American Federation,
with its non-partisan movement, is
endeavoring to play in the present
campaign is to be placed before the
people, the records of the candidates
so that a fair analysis of the records
of these candidates can be made as a
guide to the exercise of the right of
franchise by every voter. While one
of the candidates has an absolutely
clean record and stands without one
act unfavorable to organized labor,
the attitude of the opposition candi
date is absolutely opposite.
He went into the record of the re
publican presidential candidate and
stated that while a member of the
Ohio legislature he approved of con
vict labor.
He said that the turning point has
come, it is here, when the independent
voter has the power in his hand to
elect men in office who are friends of
the working men and women of this
country. He advised that we vote for
men on their records instead of the
claims of their parties. In voting for
parties the working men have voted
for men who were our worst enemies.
He told the crowd that this is not
the kind of a speech that you have
been accustomed to hearing. Here
tofore speeches have been made by
candidates who have lauded their par
ties to the skies. He further stajted
that the American Federation is call
ing to the workers' own responsibil
ity in this campaign.
Frey called attention to articles in
the papers where thousands of emi
grants from all over the world are
coming to this country. The next
president of the United States will
say whether this will be a white man's
country or a country for Chinamen
and Japs.
He concluded his address by mak
ing a strong appeal to the working
men and women to register, and vote
for candidates whose records are
clean. You are the ones that will be
responsible if you don't vote correct­
ly-
mk.

.r^'^^^y^-Kf
Touching upon woman's suffrage,
Mr. Frey stated that as far back as
1880 organized labor had favored the
franchise for women. He urged every
woman to exercise fully her right to
franchise after a careful study of the
candidates and the principles for
which they stand.
Never at any time during his ad
dress did Mr. Frey mention the name
of any candidate, but he held up to
his hearers the records of these can
didates,
