TELLS STORY OF PAGE EIGHT FRAZIER’S VISIT. TO WASHINGTON Correspondent Says A. F. of L.| Is “Not In Bond Business” OPEN SHOP TALK RAISED | “This Made Basis of No. Dakota’ Plea, According to Cor- | respondent ns | ‘A discussion of the efforts of Gov- | ernor Frazier and Spurgeon O'Dell | to enlist the support of organized ; labor in the sale of North Dakota: bonds, is contained in a dispatch to! the Minneapolis Journal from its| ington correspondent, who des- | eribes the situation as follows: “A. F. of L. Not in Bond Business” The executive committee informed | the North Dakota executive and fiscal agent, that “the American Federation | of Labor is not in the bond business.” | They also were told that it was outside the field of the federation’s activiti to buy bonds or to recommend the pur- | chase of bonds. If any members of the | federation individually wanted to in-} vest their surplus moneys in North Da- | kota bonds, they could do it on their | own responsibility, but the enterprise | would have. backing of the fed- | eration or any of its national officers, | nor of the executive committee. i The confeence adopted a resolu: | tion expressing sympathy toward the | government and the people of North, Dakota and recommended that the la- | bor organizations give “friendly con- | sideration to the bond issue of the state owned Bank of North Dakota.” This action was taken after O'Dell had asked labor’s “moral and financial support for the bonds.” sRepresentatives of the bank, it was announced. will be furnished with a list of all international unions ,state, federation and local bodies of the American Federation of Labor, to which they may make direct appeal. Each union organization will deter- mine for itself whether it wishes to in- vest in the bonds of the bank or de- posit surplus funds in the institution. Having been tee down by the ex- ecutive committee ,Governor Frazier asked President Samuel Gompers to! place a request before the council, which met, in order that he (the gov- | ernor) should have an opportunity to place the matter before the members of the council and get their judgment on it. It was intended that this re- quest should be placed " ‘before the | council yesterday, but other’ matters occupied the ‘attention of the council until a late hour and no adtion was taken. Convention Flooded with Citculars Agents of the Nonpartisan league placed a pile of circulars on a table in the anteroom of.the hall in which the council met. “What. North Dakota Can Do For Organized Labor” was the title on one side/of the sheet. On the! other side the caption was “What North Dakota has done for Organized The things North Dakota has done for labor were enumerated as follows: The anti-injunction law; the: Union la- bel- law, requiring’ union labels on all j state issued documents; thé ‘cormpensa- tion law; the mine inspection law; the full train crew law; the employees shelter law; the eight hour day for | women, and the home building law., What organized labor could do for North Dakota was related in part as follows: Smash the “open shop” drive against North Dakota ,its industria) program and labor laws. Invest union funds in the bonds of the:state of North Dakota—blacklisted by Wall Street. Deposit union's surplus in the state owned Bank of North Dakota and break the boycott of the money trust. “All deposits in the Bank of North Dakota are guaranteed by the state of North Dakota,” read the statement. “All bonds of the state of North Da- kota are secured by the faith and cred it of the entire state, based upon its power to tax its $3,000,000,000 worth of property. The legality.and the con- stitutionality of these bonds have been asi A White ‘Biephant On Your Hands After a fire if you are not protected by Use and Oceupancy Insurance from logs of net profits; from the heavy carriage of current expenses and fixed charges you are bound to be like the man who had a white ele- Phant on his hands.

He inter- viewed investment bankers, heads of investment concerns, and firms of bond dealers; in fact, about everybody in that city who could possibly be inter- ested in the purchase or flotation of the North Dakota loan. None of those interviewed would take any interest in Mr. Odell’s proposition. On the labor side of the case it was related here that Mr. Odell obtained the endorsement of the Chicago Feder- atiow of Labor. With that as a nu cleus he made the rounds of the heads of the national and international or- ganizations affiliated with the Ameri- can Federation, of Labor, “including Frank -Morrison, secretary of the fed eration. None of the labor leaders would make .a statement but it is reported they did not give Mr. Odell encour- agement. The next appeal was made to the executive committee of the fed- eration, where Mr. Odell had the sup- port of Governor Frazier.
