TO HEAD OFF IMMIGRANTS.
Resoi otIons Adopted by tho Federated
Labor Delegates at Detroit.

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. IL. AT the
morning session OF the American Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor convention a resolu-
tion was adopted which set forth tha.
occasion was taken during the Phila-
delphia Centennial by employers to
flood Europe with advertisements
that there was plenty of work in
this country, when there were thou
sands OF idle men, and that the country
was IN turn flooded with unneeded la
Dor. The resolution asked action by
the federation TO head of such possible
immigration during the Chicago worlds
fair.
Resolutions extending sympathy to
the Alabama coal miners whose execu-
tive board had been put in Jail charged
with conspiracy, and fayoring woman
suffrage were favorably reported. A
unanimous report indorsed the secre-
tary's report, which pushed the eight
hour day forward. and was concurred in
by the convention.
A grievance was read from South
ern mach inists' union regarding pro-
posed afiiliation, and one of the dele

the constitution which confined ad-
mission TO white men. A resolu-
tion excluding such local unions
as draw the color or race line
was offered, and finally, after con-
siderable debate, request was added
to the resolution asking the Southern
unions to strike the color line from
their constitutions, and the whole was
referred TO the executive committee for
action on that basis.
The committee on the Presidents re-
port declared that while the Federation
does not recommend strikes. still they
must be considered as inevitable under
the preseat social system. The desira-
bility of an international Labor Con-
gress at Chicago in 1898 was impressed
upon the delegates. The idea of a gener-
al Federation label was indorsed- Gov
enors of States were urged 10 make tho
first Monday in September general
holiday. The resolution opposing the
employment OF Pinkerton police was
adopted. A hot debate followed upon
an effort to place the Federation on
record against the Knights of Labor,
but President Gompers succeeded in
having it dropped.

New York American Section.

The enter lainment given by the Ame-
rican Section of this City last Sunday
night at Concordia Hail was marked
success. In spite of the unfavorabIe
weather and of the several entertain.
ments given on the same night by other
bodies whose members are for the most
part Socialists, the hall was well filled
and the attendance of ladies was large.
The Confectioners and Cake Bakers OF
Union No. 7 came in body with their
red banner and were warmly greeted.
Progressive Musical Union No. 1 sup
piled the instrumental music, which
was of the high character for which this
fine organization is noted. while the
Socialist Liedertafel delighted the au-
dience with songs rendered in the
noblest style of art. A cornet solo by
MIR. Hager, duo by the sisters Kropp,
of the Lassalle Dramatic Association and
a defamation by B. Krebs, of the same
artistic company, were received with
deserved enthusiasm. In the course of
the evening l.. Sanial. editor of the
WoRKMENs ADVOCATE, who had been
invited by the committee to deliver a
speech, made few humorous remarks.
Dancing followed the concert, and at q
late hour the participants went to their
respective homes, well pleased with
themselves and the American Section.

Factory Inspection.

The annual report of the New York
State Factory Inspector is in the hands
of the State Printer, and will be pre-
sented this week. The statistical tables
will not be ready and appended until
late in the session.
The report is more voluminous than
usual. The number of inspections of
factories made AS larger than ever be-
fore, and the number found to have
either incomplete fire escapes or none at
all was large. Warnings of the inspec-
tors, however have been obeyed, and
the factory system il now fairly protec-
tive to lie.
A call is made upon the Legislature to
extend to the inspectors more power to
enforce the law within their jurisdic-
tion The report also deals with child
labyr and makes recommendations as to
prohibitory laws in regard to certain
kinds of labor In which children should
not be employed.

EIGHT HOURS.

The American Federation of Labor Pre-
pairing for the Coming Fight.-Impor-
tant Action of the Executive Com
mittec.
The Executive Council of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor met last Tues
day at its national headquarters in this
city, 81 Clinton Place. The proceedings
were secret, but brief statement of
some Of the steps taken was subsequently
given to the press.
Among those present were Samuel
Gompers, president, Henry Enrich, OF
New York, and ?. j. Mcclure, Of Phila-
delphia, vice presidents, and Chris
topher Evans, secretary.
After long discussion it was resolved
that President Gompers should issue a
proclamation, calling for the stimuli
taneous holding Of eight-hour demon
strations by unions all over the country
on Washington's Birthday. President
Gompers was requested to correspond
with number of well known speakers
to deliver addresses at various points on
the eight-hour question before May lst.
Among them are George Z. McNeill,
of Boston; Henry Lloyd, Toronto;
CURE, Philadelphia; Henry Enrich,
New York; w. J. Dillon, Pittsburg;
John Mcbride, Masillon, O.; David
Ross, Paul Grottkau, Milwaukee, Wis;
j. H. Burt, Wheeling, w. Va; George
Dillon, Grand Rapids, Mich; j. G. Kill
gallon, Pittsburg; F. M. Shaffer. Nc
Keesport, Penn; w. II. Khver, Chi
cago; Frank X. Foster, Boston; John s.
Kirschner, Philadelphia ?. F. Fitz.
patrick, Cincinnati, o.; Ed. l.. DAILY and
II. J. Skeflington, Boston.
The question as to whether May l
shall be made general holiday was dis
cussed but no decision was reached.
A resolution of the Convention with
| reference to protest against the con-
tinued enforcement of the rule in the
Government Printing Office, by which
wages were reduced in 1877, and de-
manding a restoration OF the former
rates, was referred to the President with
instructions to forward copy of it to
| Congress and another to Typographical
Union No. of Washington.
The President was instructed to issue
a notice for the two cents per week
strike assessment as provided for in the
constitution, to be enforced for five
weeks. This will raise fund of about
100000.
| The resolutio.l of the last Convention
referring to the executive Council the
matter of printing an amendment to the
present Census law providing for taking
the Census in Winter and for the
enumeration of the unemployed came
up.
President Gompers reported that
amendments had already been provided
for and submitted briefs of a supple
mental act for the purpose. The Execu-
tive Council approved it, and instructed
the President to ask the best legal ad-
vice on the subject before submitting it
to Congress.

Progressive and the International Tai
