The article presents information the labor issues in the U.S. The political air is full of talk about new parties, third parties, and labor parties, but it has remained for organized labor in Connecticut to take the lead in the actual formation of a state labor party. In Hartford on Sunday, June 30, representatives of 150 Connecticut Federation of Labor locals, meeting at the call of the Hartford Central Labor Union, unanimously voted for the formation of a Connecticut Labor Party, "anti-capitalist in nature," to be based on A. F. of L. unions, independent unions, and other mass organizations, irrespective of present political affiliation.
