1'urty men,
"Keep your eyes open" anil discourage
the heelers who will try to create n
"split."
"Never swap horses while crossing a
Mtream," said honest Aim Lincoln. The
Labor Party in this city will grow if it
has the hearty support of its old mem
hern. There is grumbling among those of the
Clock Shop employes who aro not yet
slaves in spirit. Hut they are few and
are terrorized by the difficulty of getting
another job on the one hand, and by the
man with the HiiliMTiptioii glass eye on
the other.

What idiotic co-imiHHioner placed that
ugly urinal on Chapel street alongside of
the (Ireen, just where the West Haven
cars stop? It should be removed, and
placed inside the (lieen with some ever
green trees or shrubs around it, similar
to plan adopted in (lily Mall Park. New-
York. At any rate the monstrosity

Vote itt ( oiillilriii iv
Besides the ordinary routine, there
was an unusual amount of business
transacted at last Sunday's meeting of
the Trades Council. The delegate to the
State Federation made his rejHirt, which
was accepted. The Organizing Commit
tee was instructed to Wk after the inter
ests of Union Cigarmakers' by detecting
the fraudulent use of tho blue label of
the Cigarmakers' International Union.
A vote of confidence was tendered Dele
gate Stodel and the memliersof the (ien
eral Committee having in charge the
Labor Day parade and picnic. The fol
lowing memorial to the American Feder
ation of LaUir wac adopted and ordered
printed for ratification by ot her labor or

Convention of the A. F. ,
Greeting:
At the last convention of the A. F. of
L., a constitution was adopted to w hich
we give our most hearty support, ami
which we desire to see enforced; we are
jMisitive that Article 8, Sections, is Mng
ignored by a large iroiortion of the
local organizations of National and Inter
national liodies connected therewith, as
also by the State branches of the same.
Such a course is in direct opposition to
the vital objects of the A. F. of L. as laid
down in Article 2, Section 1, andean
end in but one way, and that the disso
lution of your body, for if the local
liodietiof any National or International
organization do not know w hat leneliu
may be derived from a local central la
lior union, how can it lie expected that
their delegates to their national conven
tions can vote intelligently upon such a
question as tlie support of Ruch a great
centritf labor union as the A. F. of L ?
AllUtl. HC'litrrtl luliiti1 iiMu.ii ('timi.fti.il
wit h a State branch may be called upon
for moral and llniindial aid, as lias already
lieen the co.se, fur a local organization, in
the same town or cit v as t ie cent ral la
bor union, which has no representative
in muil central body.
This, gentlemen, is a manifest in just ice,
and wo urgently press upon you the need
for, and respectfully reijuest you to
adopt, such measures us will compel the
compliance of all local organizations of
all National and International bodies and
Mate branches with Articles M, Section 0,
of the Constitution of the A. F. of I..;

NINTH WARD.
The members of the Labor Party of
the Ninth Ward will meet at Masonic
J bill, Webster street, lo-morrow (Sunday)
at three o'clock in the afternoon. Then
should be a full attendance, as important
tiusiness will be brought before tin
meeting.
TO TH V, I NOIt(JANIZI'.l).
Workingnien and women who desire
to better their condition and an willing
to join hands with Organized Labor, can
obtain all information in regard to the
various organizations and the manner of
joining them, by addressing a letter to
the chairman of the Organizing Com
mittee of the Trades Council,
MERIDEN.

maun Contend for Free Speech.
Last Sunday evening there was a well-
attended meeting in Meriden to denounce
the projected judicial minder in Chicago
and to uphold the constitutional right
of free speech. Henry C. Baldwin, of
Naugatuck, and Paul Ziminermann, of
New Haven, made speeches in Fnglish
and (ierman respectively, which were
enthusiastically received.
A long set of resolutions were adopted
from which we ipiote the following:
vv iii'.mcAK, tMiia men are really sent-
riced to dent b ItufjniKO nf tlmi r Ouwliimru

citizen who respects the forms of law to
urge the Supreme Court of the United
States to grant a w rit of error and give
a new trial to these men in order that
the forms of law be not brought into
contempt before the peoole. '
There w ill lie yet more hanging of So
cialists for speaking the truth. And yet
we must go on speaking. Hotter spend
our iood freely for liberty than save it
for our blushes. lliinn ttc 0. Iltmh ll,
THE SOCIALIST PLATFORM,
What Hie Radical Wing of the lather
Parly Agitate For.
Labor being the self evident creator of
nil wealth and
civilization, it is but
enuitable that (host
who iicrform a!
lalior and thus create all wealth
shouli
enjoy the product of their toil.
Hut this is rendered impossible by the
modern system of production, which,
since the discovery of steam power and
since the general introduction of ma
chines, is in all branches of industry
carried with such gigantic means and
appliances a but a few are able to
pi issess.
The present industrial system is co
operalive in tme resort only, which is:
That not, as in former times, the indi
vidual works alone for his own account,
but dozens, hundreds and thousands of
men work together in shops, in mines, on
h Hire farms and l:ind-t. rn-muir-if iiur
r- i '
cording to the most eflicient division of
labor, while the fruits of this co-opera
tive labor are not reaed by the workers
themselves, but are in a great measure
appropriated bv the owners of the means
of production.

ly separates society into two classes: The
class of the wage workers, and that of
the great bosses.
It brings forth as its natural out-
growths:
Ihe lilanlessness and reckless rate of
production.
Hie waste of human and n.-ituml
ford's.
The commercial and industrial crises.
The constant utnvrtaiiitv nf tin ma

i nese conditions shorten and linjioril

In order, therefore, to u)twli tb.,
humiliating conditions, we strive to
intrcKluce the jwrfeet system of co-otr-ative
production that is, we demand
that the workers obtain the undivided
liroduet of their toil.
This being only feasible by securing to
uie workers me control ot llio menus of
production,
We demand:
That the land, the instruments of pro
duction (machines, factories, etc.), the
products of lalsir, liccomo the common
piopcriy oi Ha. w hole people; and,
That all production lie organized co
operatively, and Ih) carried on under tht
direction of the commonwealth; and also
the co-ojierative distribution of the pro
ducts in accordance with the service ren
dered, ami with the just needs of the in-
OIVIIIUUIS,
And to realize our demands, we strive
by all proor means to gain control of
the political power.
The Socialistic Labor Party claims the
title, "Labor Party," Is-canso it recog
nizes the existence of an oppressed class
of wage-workers as its fundamental
truth, and the emancipation of this op
pressed laboring class as its foremost
object.
