Hay Be General Walkout
If Dry Law Goes Into
Effect
New Haven, Jan. SO Recognition
f an undercurrent of imrest bearing
upon problems now facing labor
throuabont the country and a favora
ble consideration of the adoption of
resolutions drawn up by the Hartford
-Central Labor Union toward the or
ganization of an American Labor
Party along the llnea of the British
Lafbor Party, marked the conference
called by the executive council of tho
Connecticut Federation of Labor and
held In this city yesterday. The meet
ing waa attended by more than ISO
delegates and representative labor
men from all parts of the state.
Sentiment wholly against the adop
tion of prohibitlonary measures were
voted, aa It waa claimed that Indus-,
trial stagnation would be the inevlta
ble result. Authoritative sources fur
nished figures showing that with pro
hibition about 1,800,000 would be
thrown out of employment In the
country. It waa predicted that the
action yoiced at the recent mass meet
ins; in Chicago on the general strike
called tor July 4, unless a new trial
was granted Mooney, would receive
due eooouraeement In the East. In
vent that the present law prohibit
ing the sale of intoxicants becomes
! effective July 1, It is rumored among
labor men, that a general walk-out
will take place throughout the United
States.
The resolutions adopted at a meet
ing of the political executive com
mittee of the Hartford Central Labor
union last week In Hertford were in
troduced at the meeting. The gen
- eral iientlmcnt waa in favor of them
and It was voted that they be pre
7 seated before all tho labor organiza
tions In the state with a view toward
their acceptance.
The platform of the new labor
party has eleven planks. It embod
ies the following provisions-:
The restoration of free speech, free
press and free assemblage.
The establishment of public works
to ipeevsnt unemployment, In demand
ing that federal governmental agen
das undertake thn scientitio replace
ment of soldiers and workers back to
tiheir jobs.
The public ownership of public
utilities.
The encouragement of agriculture
and the reduction of tho cost of liv
ing. The democratic control of industry
and commerce.
The democratic control of educa
tion.. The universal enforcement of the
American standard of living.
Bqnal rights for men and women.
The representation of labor In pro
portion to its voting strength In all

War referendum. "No war shall
be declared by the government prior
to a referendum -vote of all the voters
of the country.'
Opposition io any form of universal
military training )n time of peace.
Taxation to finance Increased gov
ernmental activities.
Tie platform further states that
the party Indorses the program of
yeace alms and guarantees for world
democracy contained In the fourteen
points enunciated by President Wil
son. In accordance with these prin
ciples the application of the principle
qt self-determination to Ireland is
4emaxd4. A further cTemandl
(ha our euremment refrain from
Interfering In the Internal affairs
Qt Russia, or any other country, and
the immediate withdrawal of the
armed forces of the United States
from KasHa is contained.
There is embodied In the "equal
