UNDER SENTENCE OF DEATH.
Two Men Who Are to be Hanged at
the District Jail Next Month.

There are two colored men in jail-Louis
Williams and Ben Hawkins-who are under
sentence of death. The date fixed for their exc
cuton is January 81, which is now only about
six weeks off. The condemned men are already
making preparations to meet their fate.
Ben Hawkins killed his wife in South Wash
ington some months ago by stabbing her
Hawkins and his wife had separated, and ON the
fatal night he found her at a 'parlor social on
Virginia avenue, They went out and had drinks
together. On their way back to the social
gathering their conversation was not so pleas
ant and when walking through an alley he
committed the deed for which he is soon to pay
the penalty. The Rev. Mr.. Howard of Mount
Zion Baptist church is Hawkins spiritual ad-
wiser, and he will be assisted by the Rev. Mr..
Roberts, who has looked after the spiritual
welfare of SO many murderers.
Louis Williams is under sentence for killing
ex-Policeman Alder near Bennings some months
ago. Williams and Alder had some words in a
store one Saturday night, and Williams left the
store threatening to settle the matter later. He
carried out his threat by killing Alder with a
stone or brick. Williams is Catholic, and has
been visited by priest of his faith. Mr.. Rob-
erts also converses with him. Hawkins seems
perfectly willing to go, as he says he has made
his peace, but Williams friends do not think he
ought to be hanged and will probably make
further efforts in his behalf.

RECONCILIATION NOT LIKELY.
The Federation Declares it's Terms for
Friendship With the n. Of l..

At the fifth days session Of the American
amendment to the constitution giving the ex-
ecutIve committee power to levy a strike assess
ment not to exceed two cents per member per
week. and only when ordered by a vote OF all
national and international unions, was adopted
Several amendments of minor importance were
adopted and the revised constitution was then
accepted as a whole by the federation One
important change was the fixing Of the annual
per capita tax at one-fourth of one cent
The special committee appointed to consider
the attitude of the federation toward the
knights of Labor submitted its report, which
was adopted by a rising unanimous vote.
The report declares that the federation has
for years sought to establish friendly rela-
tions with the knights of Labor, even when
certain of Its leaders were seeking the life Of
the trade unions, but that friction has arisen
between the two organizations because the
older body has persisted in organizing trade
districts in crafts where trade unions already
existed, which dual authority has been pro-
ductive of much evil Professions of harmony
and platitudes OF peace are poor recompenses
for the attempted weakening of the trade union
column. We therefore assert the natural right
Of trade unions to occupy the trade unions ter
ritory. When this right is conceded discord
will end and organized labor be more closely
united.
The election Of officers resulted in the re-
election of President Samuel Gompers of Nev
York and Secretary p. j. Mcguire of Philsdel.
