HORAN HOLS Attitude “ American Federation | 1 i dy the Executive Council. a0 DISTINCT PaRTY. Wit WILL BE FORMED { Will mot Attempt to Dictate Party Membership of any Union Man— Independent Voting Urged Upon | all Members of Affiliated Unions As Alliance With Farmers. Minneapolis, Minn. Nov. 13.—The recent political activity of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor occupied a Prominent place in the report of the executive council, wnich was read Tuesday at the convention of the federation, The report defined the attitude ot organized labor toward politics. Ac cording to the report, the total sum received for campaign purposes was $8,056; the total expenditures being $7,834. The American Federation, the re- Port says, does not contemplate the formation of a distinct politica) party. It does not intend to dictate the party membership of any union man, It does purpose to suggest from time to time legislative meas- ures of advantage to labor and to se- cure the nomination and election of representatives and@ senatats favor- able to their enactment. “We have never opposed politics in our organization,” says the report, “though we have always opposed partisan politics. Independent voting with an eye single to the interests of labor is urged upon all members of the affiliated unions,” The report shows that an alliance has been formed with the Farmers’ Educationa! alliance for mutual sup- port and that an effort has been made to secure government statistics on woman and child labor. On the question of the dozen or more controversies between rival or- ganizations in the similar trades which have long vexed the federation the committee reported no progress but declared that when such internal dissensions were carried to such length as to inconvenience employers who were disposed to be fair to la- bor, the limit had been reached. Caught an Escaped Prisoner. Oklahoma City, Ok., Nov. 13.—Uni- ted States Marshal John Abernathy at noon Tuesday arrested Al Ford who escaped a few days ago from the Fort Leavenworth military prison, where he was serving a sentence for killing a comrade in the Philip- pines. Ford was first located at Law: ton in a box car by a deputy United States marshal, but after a running fight in which he shot the horse from under the marshal, he escaped to El- gin and took a passing Frisco train on which Abernathy was a passenger. Abernathy recognized him and put him under arrest as he got off the train at this city, Passenger Train Derailed.
