TO BOYCOTT THE EXPOSITION.
What Mitchell TeIeGraphed to Gompers
from Chicago.

from chicago.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec l5.-In the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor convention yester-
day a telegram was read from the
Amnesty ASSOCIATION of Illinois, calling for
Endorsement of their effort TO secure par
don for the imprisoned Chicago anarchists.
The most emphatic came from Thomas
Mitchell, president of the Chicago Trade
and Labor assembly 1t read: at looks
like bitter strife We will bovcott
Worlds fair until it is closed. Souvenir
coin will be nailed to the wall as badge
of shame. VIII hold meetings all over the
land, No competition was held in award
of catalogue to scab shop. Public honesty
outraged. Must kill Sunday opening.
President Higinbotham says union labor
has no rights"
To Consider the Militia.
A resolution was offered and adopted
calling for the appointment OF nine mem
bers TO consider all matters that have been
referred 10 the resolution committee re
garding the action of the militia and the
courts in relation to the Homestead. Coeur
fAlene, and Tennessee troubles. The
special committee is requested to recon-
mend a line OF action to the convention be-
fore tomorrow morning. Then ex-senator
Blair, of New Hampshire, delivered an ad-
dress, the object being to make sentiment
in favor of national education. He said
that ignorant labor was always cheap la
Dor. Applause greeted the statement that
"the defeat of the educational bill was a
crime against humanity" He praised the
action of the Roman Catholic bishops at
their resent meeting which, he said, indi-
Gated the withdrawal of opposition to the
hlIf. sOhcsnl
of the public school from religious intol-
efance.
Another Weapon Much Needed.
Resolutions were presented by the com
mittee on organizations declaring that the
strike and boycott are useless in the hands
of organized labor when public opinion
and 8ll the powers of our civil military
and Judicial governments are arrayeI
against them. and that wealth. vested
rights and propertied interests are subor-
dinate to the power of the government.
For this reason the resolutions demand
that the government should be hv The
people in fact: and to accomplish this it
WIS suggested that the powers Of the bal
lot be added 70 thai of the strike and hov-
colt. Ii was further suggested that a
campaign OF education be instituted among
working people that would result in the
election Of labor representatives
Some Resolutions Introduced.
Resolutions were introduced in favor of
prohibiting Japanese immigration: for a
congressional inquiry into the Ceur
d 'Alene troubles; for the exposition of the
labor problem in the public schools. 1t
was resolved TO declare the Duquesne and
Alvin theatres non-union if they refuse to
sign an amended scale of their employees.
An attempt TO discuss a resolution for an
extra session Of congress to pass free trade
legislation was declared out Of order. and

FISHERMEN'S WAGES.
The Men Lose by Reason Of Signing nm
'front.' Clad Agreement.

The Men Lose by Reason Of Signing nm
Iron Clad Agreement.
Justice Britain has decided the contro-
versy between the Alaska canning com
panies and the $50 fishermen employed by
them last summer to the satisfaction OF
both parties. The suit was pending two
months. Among the defendants were ex-
Mayor Pond, Leon Sloss and L. a. Maison.
The packers had employed the fishermen
to work in Alaska during the last season
and had compelled each Of them 10 sign an
iron-clad agreement giving the employers
the right 70 discharge them with or without
cause.
The employers thought that they, by this
agreement, had made themselves masters
OF the situation, but their ambition had
overshot the mark. They had taken no
cogniz1nce of the fact that the fishermen
might catch more than the canneries could
handle. The contract sigued by the men
said nothing by which the employers could
limit the amount of the catch.
There was an unusual run OF fish early
In July, and the canneries we're unable to
handle the catch. The fishermen were
ordered TO cease fishing, but refused on the
ground that the companies were compelled
TO take all the fish they could obtain. The
result was that they were discharged, and
on their arrival one of their number sued
the companies for his wages up To- the time
Of his discharge. for a bonus promised them
and pro rata for every 1000 fish Of certain
kinds that were caught.
Justice Britain decided that the sailors
were discharged without cause, but as they
signed a contract under such terms they
must abide by the consequences, not, how
ever, as the combine viewa them, but as the
law declares. The fishermen will not lose
all their wages, but Will be paid up to the
time OF their discharge. They will recover
a pro rata percentage and pro rata bonus
for the season up to the time of their dis

A SLIP MEANT DEATH.
An Enormous Tumor Cut From Mans
Brain.

Brain
Chicago Herlld's New York Special
In the New York Hospital Dr. Robert F.
". Weir last week removed an enormous
brain tumo7 from the head of a Pole, u
years old. A number OF distinguished ply
sicians and surgeons ana several hundred
students witnessed the operation, one Of
the most difficult known 10 surgery. The
patient was put under the Influence Of ether
aud a hole three inches long by two wide
made in tile base Of the skull The most
difficult part OF the operation was now
reached. That is the exploring OF tie cram
ial cavity and discovery OF the tumOr. The
tissue was now divided for two-JhlTds the
extent Of the bone opening. As this was
done the parts beneath pTOtrUded. 10 was
seen at once that portion OF tae pTOJTUd-
ing tissue was not normal brain substance.
1t was. in TACT, part Of the expected tumOr,
which was too large 10 escape through the
opening. It was Of a deep liver color and
much ike liver in construction. II was en-
vel0ped in the folds Of a partially transpar-
ent sac, with larger vessels entering II from
the CUTa and brain substance, 10 which 1t
was attached. With a director and with
the edge Of a spoon handle thin, yellOWish
layer If brain tissue was separated from its
outer side. la the same manner the tumOr
was lO0sened on all sides without damage to
the brain. ] o let the knife slip One-six-
teenth Of an inch meant death 80 the patient.
To remove the tumOr safely it had to be
taken away IN pieces. In this manner Il
was al last all removed, but nor without a
dangerous hem0TThage. The wounds were
then properly dressed and the patient Te-
moved TO begin the real battle Tor life.

During the month Of January no deser-

depot at Davids Island. After all the
numerous attachments received at and sent
from this depot during the month there
were GAG enlisted men still there. During
the month 3l2 of the $50 white companies
had no deserters, showing, as it is urged,
that their commanders in their methods of
administration, and, while enforcing dis
cipine, have fully cO-operhted ii the efforts
of Congress ard the War Department to
insure contentment in the service. During
tile past twelve months there were 1893 de-
sertiUns and 10315 enlStments; for the
same months in 1880, 1889 deSertiOns aud
ZOOS enlstments, and IN 1859, 2TI5 desertiOns
and 6157 enNStments, all showing that not
withstanding the greater requirements in
recruiting, many more are being enlisted
than IN previous years, and that assertions
during the past twelve months were but
half of the number that occurred in 1882
