; istsued by Thomas R Rarrv outlining
; the aims ar.d pirpose- of the new or
ptiiiiti'iri which he proposes to form
j and which is to lie known as the
i Brotherhood of I'oitevl I-abor. In the
address Harry says he is not advocat
ing the formation of this new order
for the purpose of fig!, t< rig the Knights
;of La!*ir or to gratify his personal
; but to establish honesty in
and place the laoor movement on a
' decentralized hais wh. h will make it

be e-ta'ijli-bed on a decentralized !va-is.

It will pursue a progressive educa
tional policy to bring into practice
and have enacted into law its platform
\ of principles.
1 Ihe cardinal principles of the broth
erhood will be land, currency jw, 1
transportation reform Kir-f ISie
right of man to the Use of the earth
Secun ! The taking from uaun-rs and
of the right to control all
! currency. Thsrd--The gvivernwent
ownership of the mean- of transport

and the taking of engiiies of hu
, man happine-s out of the hands of
stoi gambler- and -peculators and
the operating of tbem tor the lienefit
! of the produi-er and consumer
While seeking a settlement of those
nue-tions the order will lalwr for
amelhirative reforms, such as a reduc
tion of the hours of labor to r ght j<er
! day, the prohibition of child laiwr
the al-olition of convict and contract
labor, the abolition of the contract
system on nation.!, state and m unci pal
works, the prohibition of foreign labor
under contrait and the purification of
politics through the adoption ot the
Au-tralian system of voting.
Ail the details of the p'an of organi
-1 zation had not yet been decided upuii
but it will l« more of a federation than
a compact national body like the
Knights of 1-abor. In it there will be
no money at the disposal of the gen
eral or federal officers, for llarry
i laiuis the accumulation of large turni
of money at one central point, as in
the old order, is one of the greatest
dangers to labor organisation.
