It means that after ja hundred years of the development jof the Pennsylvania Labor Party, in| | which the Party has been dominated | by the reactionary leaders of the A. |F. of L., and been used as a tool of | the old capitalist political parties, the | politicians of the Republican and | Democratic Parties, the Labor Party |now will put up candidates who are real trade unionists, who run on no | other ticket but the Labor ticket, and who, like Brophy and Thomas, have a fine record of struggle for the rank and file against the bosses and the | labor bureaucracy. | Only those trade unionists who ‘fight the reactionaries in the Labor | movement can come out as repre- sentatives of the Labor Party at this particular time. Consistently the Pennsylvania Labor Party in the past has supported politicians who were running at the same time on the Re- publican and Democratic Parties, as in the case of William B. Wilson, can- didate for U..S, Senator on the Demo- eratic and the Labor Party Ticket in the last senatorial elections.
