WOULD FORM
NEW PARTY
Mine Workers Would
Unite With Organized
Labor and Farmers.
Indianapolis, Oct. 7 —A reso
lution favoring the formation of
a new political party which
would combine forces with farm
ers and organized, labor unions
was the last measure adopted at
the closing session of the con
vention of the United American
Mine Workers, held here.
The delegates presenting the
measure argued that such a
party would exert great influ
ence for the protection of labor
unions and discourage the ten
dency toward open shops. The
resolution passed almost unani
mously.
