Annual Convention of the
Federation of Labor.
Growth of the Order and
What it has Accomplished.
Financial Policy of the Ma
tional Farmers Alliance.

DETROIT. Dec. s Eighty delegates of
the American Federation of Labor
assembled this morning. They were well
coined to the city by the president of the
board of aldermen in the absence of the
mayor. President Gompers of the feder-
alton responded. Gompers then delivered
his annual address. He advised the con-
vention to avoid controversy questions
and concentrate their efforts upon such
issues as the members most agreed. That
such a course is best is evidenced BY the
success of the eight hour movement, the
agitation for which reform was successful
In l37 cities and benefited 5000 work
men In the Carpenters trade. The de-
mand for an eight hour day will be made
by other trades in series. and its inal
success cannot be questioned. The next
industry to make the demand will be the
coal miners. They will move May /,
1891. During the year the federation
established 274 local branches and
national trades unions 9I3 The existing
branches added from 5 to IS per cent In
membership. The address declares in
f,vor of the system of national unions of
individual trades. During the year |, l63
authorized strikes have taken place.
Nine hundred and eiRhty-nine we're sue
c~essful, seventy-six failed and ninety
eight compromised. Gompers refers 10
commentator to the project Of en- inter
national labor in 1898 coIncident
with the worlds fair; demands the en-
forcement Of eight hour law in government
work, asks for a suitable federal alien
contract labor law, suggests an extended
Observance OF labor day as an annual
holiday, warns against child labor, declares
for an international copyright and ballot
reform.
When the committee on credentials
went into session. GomOers appeared
before them To object to receiving any
papers from the delegates from the Cen
trhl Labor Federation (socialistic) of New
York. The committee decided to allow
the socialists to present their case to the
convention tomorrow.
