DON'T WANT G0MPERS
Attempt to Be Made at Denver to Gust
the President of the Federation
of Labor.
NOT SUFFICIENTLY RADICAL
To Suit the Socialists and Some Other
FactiOns---TWO Others in the
Same Boat. Il

CHICAGO, Nov. pa special to The
Post from Denver says that the annual
convention of the American Federation
OF Labor, to be held in that city in De-
cember, will develop hard fight
against the reelection Of President
Samuel Gompers, Secretary Mcclure of
the United Brotherhood Of Carpenters
and Joiners, and General Secretary
Chris Evans. The opposition is the re-
suit Of the action of the Federation last
summer, in refusing to recommend
sympathetic strikes in support of the
A. r. U. railroad strikes. To the ''tri-
angle" Gompers, Mcclure and Evans,
is charged the responsibility of
the federation's determination to
keep its skirts clear of the A. R. U. i'm
broglio, and to these three officials, the
A. r. q. and it's sympathizers charge
the defeat of the great strike. 1t is said
that in their efforts to breed disaffection
against the present management, the
A. r. U. have the support of some of
the officials of the Knights of Labor.
The radical socialistic element, which
has long antagonized President, Com
pers, will, it is said, aid in the attempt
to secure his overthrow and will prob
ably endeavor to elect to the presidency
of the Federation President Mcbride Of
tbs United Mine Workers of America.

Agent Allen of White Earth Reports
Their Conditional Problem.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-One of the
problems with which Secretary Smith
has to deal is the settlement Of the
Chippewa Indians in Minnesota. For
more that six years q commission has
been constantly employed trying to
have the Indians settle in one place,
and if possible take lands in severalty
and become Of some use to themselves.
The official reports have been most dis
couraging. The reason may be ex-
planned in report received from Robert
M. Allen, agent Of the Chippewas at
White Earth. He says:
"The Chippewas are composed OF
nine distinct bands, scattered over 200
miles Of territory, and some Of these
bands have little or no communication
or relation with each other. All now
wear citizen dress and live in houses of
some character. When free from

Considerable Friction Developed by the
Lexow Investigation.
NEW YORK, Nov. Cat is announced
by the frisnds Of Father Thomas J.
Ducey, pastor of St. Leo's, that Father
Ducey has appealed to Mgr. Satoli for
liberty to attend the sessions of the
Lexow committee, which Archbishop
Corrigan has forbidden him to attend.
Father Ducey has confirmed the story
of his being forbidden by the arch
bishop and the situation has become
grave in view of the probability that
Father Ducey will rebel against the
archbishop's order. 1t is also possible
that both the archbishop and Father
Ducey will be summoned before the
Lexow committee. Archbishop Corri-
gan, it is said. will be invited to show
a copy of the letter he has written to
Father Ducey on the subject of the
Lexow committee. It is said that
Father Ducey has consulted with Arch
bishop Ireland and Dr. Burtsel about
the matter.
Thinks Himself Free Man.
edo you recognize that the arch
bishop has any right to forbid your
presence at the committee meetings."
was asked Father Ducey.

any other man has the right to inter-
fere with the liberty of an independent
citizen, whether he be a priest or lay.
man, unless he is violating the laws Of
God, some defined law of the Christian
religion, or some law Of the state or
nation" replied Father Ducey.
Father Ducey has taken great inter.

aided in every way possible in the ex-
posure of official crime.

whisky they are generally peac6able
and not hard to manage, but aside
from living in houses and wearing
clothes, l cannot see wherein the full
bloods have made much advancement.
They are
Constitutionally Opposed to Work,
and refuse to do it, and it is simply
question whether the government will
furnish them with supplies or allow
them and their families to starve.
During the long years of residence of
this tribe in this section Of the country,
great many whites have settled
among them, and married Indian
women, and their offspring now COM
prise large portion of the population,
and especially is this true ON the White
Earth reservation. These mixed bloods
are the prosperous Indians, who do
most of the work and furnish the best
examples Of thrift, making a good
showing upon this agency in garden
ing, farming and stock raising. Here
and there fullblood can be found who
is educated, trying to live right and
prospecting. But this is the exception,
as most Of the pure bloods remain in
idleness and show little disposition to
engage in labor of any kind, all the
roseate and sentimental reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding"
He then discusses what he has tried
to do in the way Of farming Oh the res
ervation, Offering every encouragement
in this direction, but the results are
far from satisfactory because the In
dians don't want to work. They only
partially take advantage of the lumber
ing interests to try and earn their own
livelihood, and although there are thou
sands Of acres of wild hay, the Indian
cattle have starved because the Indians
would not cut it. The Indians at White
Earth have taken their allottments, but
those from other reservations refuse
every offer Of the commission to remove
thither.
Secretary Smith has declared that he
will abolish the commission unless
something is Immediately accomplished.
From the reports received the impress.
sion prevails that nothing further can
be done with the Chippewas.
