UTAH LABOR NEWS. Utah Commonwealth Group Calls a Meeting On Thursday, June 1, a mass meeting will be held at the Newhouse hotel to organize a Utah Commonwealth Federation, announced R. J. Clark, chairman of the temporary organization. The object of the organization will be to unite the progressive forces of Salt Lake City and county in an organized move to support President Roosevelt and his program. Mr. Clark said that the Commonwealth program has for its objects the organization of the liberal forces to unify the strength of the people to stand guard over their liberties and to bring to the people of Utah, through organized and courageous political action, their share of the New Deal. , With these principles in mind, Mr. Clark said, a group of liberal-minde- d citizens throughout the state have been working to perfect the organization of a Commonwealth Federation. The response to the initial moves has been spontaneous. The Program The tentative program of the new organization is in brief as fol- lows: Adequate social security, in creased purchasing power for the people, protection of the rights of labor, protection of the farmer, protection of consumers and independent business, opportunity for Utah youth, public control of monopolies, the defense of civil liberties, and adequate initiative, referendum and recall laws. Mr. Clark said that it is not the intention to draft the President for a third term unless conditions warrant it, nor is a third political party contemplated. The entire object will be organized support for the New Deal as outlined bv the President, and to demonstrate to the reactionary forces within and outside the Democratci party that the people will be as solidly behind the Presidents program in 1940 as they were in 1936, he declared. The preamble to the tentative platform to be presented to the June l.mass meeting reads: A Proud Heritage The people of the United States have a proud heritage of democracy and an undying hope for sog cial justice, economic MIAMI Three thousand cases Today, of German beer which the people and spiritual elevation. powerful and sinister forces living of Miami refused to buy are being by special privilege threaten this shipped back to Germany aboard the S.
