TALK OF LABOR PARTY AROUSES FIGHT PROSPECT William Green Brands New A. F. of L. Movement as Communistic. BV RITH FINNEY limr% Social Writer WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-—Politi-cally. the week's most important question-mark is the extent of sentiment in the American Federation of Lalior for formation of a national labor party. For tlie first time in years a militant fight is in prospect to overturn the traditional federation policy of rewarding friends and punishing enemies in both old parties. 'I wo state federations of labor are on record for a labor party, and a number of city central labor bodies and international and federal unions have joined the movement. The International Ladies Garment Workers Union haS a resolution ready for convention action directing the federation executive council to study the question with a view to initiating the new party. President William Green has started a counter attack by branding the new movement communistic. The council, in its annual report, reminds the federation that "if labor is to be successful this policy < support of the non-partisan political campaign committee) must be followed.’’ Sentiment Widely Spread The movement for a national laboi party comes from such widely separated states as Oregon and Connecticut. In Oregon, Gov. Martin’s drastic policy toward striking lumber workers seems to have been at, least partly responsible for the change in front. The Oregon Federation of Labor at its annual conventoin denounced both Republican and Democratic parties as having betrayed workers, and demanded establishment of both state and national parties "dedicated to the welfare of the producing classes.’’ It followed this with a resolution condemning the profit system as immoral as long as any man willing to work is deprived of employment by retention of profits in the hands of a lew. State Group Formed Connecticut labor unions went even further and organized a Connecticut Labor Party, naming as its head William E. Kuehnel, president of the Hartford Central Labor Union. The party platform includes planks against wage cuts and company unions, for employment insurance at the expense of employers and the wealthy, for a cash bonus financed by taxation on wealth, for a 30-hour week without pay cuts, against the use of National Guard and police in strikes, and against taxation of workers and farmers. The platform makes an obvious bid for the support of veterans and farmers. There are 75,000 A. F. of L. members in Connecticut, more than half of whom were repre- ! sented at the meeting which formed the party. Danger Conceded If the labor party group should show considerable strength at the A. F. of L. convention in Atlantic City, Democratic strategists would be seriously alarmed. An unprecedented number of dissenting left wing groups are in existence today. President Roosevelt acknowledged tlie threat, they constitute to his reeled ion in his recent appeal to them from California. In addition to the EPIC Party and the Utopian Society in California, Iho Townsend Clubs, the Share-the-Wealth Clubs, the National Union for Social Justice of Father Coughlin, the Farmer-Labor Party in Minnesota and the Progressive Party in Wisconsin, (here are tlie newly created American Commonwealth Political Federation, successor to the League for Independent Political Action, and farm-er-labor. labor, or other left wing parties in lowa, Michigan. Kansas. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois and New York.
