IN THE RANKS OF LABOR.
No New Political Party Wanted I
Some Timely Resolutions.

BOSTON, December 12-At today's session
of the Confederation Of Labor, the commit
tee on the report of the president reported
made by the president, and their recommen-
dations were appropriately referred. The
report of the committee on organization re-
commends the Federation to instruct all af-
filiated organizations to make special and
immediate effort to aid in organizing bakers,
coal miners, boot and shoe makers and furni-
ture workers, and that hereafter all confer
ences of the executive officers of the Fedora
ton with the executive officers of the
knights OF Labor, relating to trades unions,
organizations or mutual interchange and
recognition OF working cards, shall cease.
The recommendations were adopted
The convention this afternoon adopted
resolutions extending sympathy to the boot
and shoe workers thrown out of employment
by the Lynn fire, and recommending that
the affiliated bodies of the Federation ex-
tend financial aid urging the labor press to
renewed efforts. and calling upon organized
labor to support it; urging efforts to have
the provision of the employers liability
statute, as now enforced in Massachusetts,.
extended to other States: urging greater in
terest in affiliating with the central labor
unions in various places; and recommending
to the Maritime Congress the passage of
rules for the better loading of vessels, the
care of crews, and the adoption uf com
mon load-line for vessels of all nations. A
resolution condemning child labor when such
employment is Injurious to the health and
development of the child, was referred back
to the committee with instructions to insert
the limit of age at which children might be-
gin work as IA years. The convention vot-
ed adversely upon propositions to form po-
litical lab riparty, and to increase the duty
on imported cigars.

WASHINGTON, December 12.-The report
tional Marine Conference charged with the
consideration of night signals for communi-
eating information at sea, says that night
signals with ordinary colored lights canno c
be seen as far as white light. The opinion
of the committee is that night signalling at
sea had better be carried on by a system of
long and short flashes of white light. The
systems of signalling by pyrotechnic lights
brought to their notice are too expensive
for general use. The committee recommends
the adoption, for optional use, of the code of
signals to convey information of special i'm
portance to passing vessels, prepared by the
committee of the British Board of Trade.
The committee recommends as signal Tor
vessels requiring pilots, a prolonged blast,
followed bv q short blast. and for pilots
followed by long blast. The committee
considered the benefits that might accrue
from more general use OF the Morse system
now in use by the navies of various powers,
and says that no better system seems to have
been devised for signalling purposes. To
encourage the use of the system, the COM
mittee suggest the complets alphabet of the
Morse code be inserted in the revised edi-
tion Of the international code book for op
tional:use.
The report of the committee appointed to
consider lanes for steamers on frequented
routes says, the committee decide to report
only upon the North Atlantic route, between
the ports of North America and the ports of
Northern Europe, as the route upon which
there Is apparently greater demand for
such lanes, If such could be advantageously
laid down on any ocean or sea. The COM
mittee adopted resolution that it was de-
sirable during the spring and summer
months that vessels should follow the
southern route, which would clear the banks
of Newfoundland, and is likely to be clear of
fog and ice. When 1t came TO proposing a
plan to make such ocean lanes compulsory,
the committee found the subject of such diff
ficulty that they do not recommend propo-
sti0n of that nature. The committee
strongly recommend that companies interes-
ted should ESTABLISH routes for different
lines and make them public so the hydro
graphic officials OF the various governments
may publish them for the information of
navigators.
With regard to the safety of fishermen up
on the North Atlantic ocean, the committee
is of the opinion that their safety is best pro-
NOTED by unceasing vigilance on the part Of
the fishermen and by careful compliance by
them with the present rules for prevention
Of collisions. especially as to the efficiency of
lights and sound signals.

A DEMOCRATIC DISCOVERY,

NEW HAVEN, December 12.-The Demo

election marched into the town agents Of
flee today and demanded of Town Agent
Todd, Republican. the books aud keys of the
office. Todd refused to deliver them, where

This unexpected move created considerable
excitement about City Hall. The drift of
opinion was that the members recently
elected can be sustained in the move by law.
For years it has been customary for the se-
lectmen to assume office on the first of JAN
uary. The members elected last week dis
covered, according to the statute thai they
may assume office the day after the election
and today's demand was the outcome of that
discovery.
