Washington Grange urges direct public control and press reform
A Washington Grange message calls for direct expression of public opinion, abolition of middlemen, and elective commissions. It proposes a plan to create a free press funded by syndicates, with rotating managing editors and reforms aimed at humanitarian work and democracy. The proposal references President Samuel Gompers and envisions direct legislation, recall, and referendum.

Labor delegates mull $24 million press chain plan
Delegates at the American Federation of Labor convention in Denver consider a scheme to mobilize 2,000,000 members to contribute $12 each in monthly installments to create a 50‑paper cooperative daily press network. Each plant would house a full job printing shop and run its own telegraph and telephone lines for interchanging news. An independent corporation would be formed with officers chosen by the 1909 federation convention.
