4 SIGNIFICANT
LABOR MEETING.
(Copyright.)

tCOpyIlSntJ
New York. Nov. 16.-When the repre-
sentatfves of organized labor assemble in
Denver next December they viii vote and
speak for one million and a quarter wage
earners. This is a greater constituency
than has ever before been behind any
trades union congress, yet that fact is
not the one of chief Importance in esti-
mating the significance of the assemblage
There are many matters far more note
worthy to make the cOnclave of the
American Federation of Labor epoch MAX
ing in the best sense.
In the first place another and a fierce
effort will be made to defeat Samuel
Gompers in the contest for the presidency
Of the federation. He narrowly escaped
defeat last year when John Mcbride just
missed the Office. This occasion may prove
less favorable to the present regime. Nc
Bride is a man of wonderful force and
magnetism who achieved a place among
the first of the industrial leaders by his
management of the great strike on the
part of the mine workers. John Mcbride
is now at the head of this organization,
and his popularity with all classes Of wage
earners is so great that only a man of
conservative and safe characteristics like
Samuel Gompers could overcome it. What
the outcome of the contest between the
two men this year viii be remains to be
seen. 1t is claimed that Gompers win
lack forty votes, at least, of a majority
on the first ballot. However, Gompers is
not without a coterie Of supporters of his
own, and he may come out of the fight in
triumphant shape.
A troublesome matter for consideration
is the location Of the federation head
quarters. The sentiment of the delegation
favors Chicago, but the Gompers admin
istration has all along insisted upon New
York. 1t is very likely that at the APP
preaching conclave the Windy City will
get the headquarters away from Man
haitian. 1t is certainly true that Chicago
would be far more convenient a location
for most of the members of the FEEDER
alton, and Gompers would be more pop
ular in the west were il not that he is
known TO be welded to the east. One great
issue in the federation now is of a Sec
tional character In the west trade union
lists are far more radical than they are in
the east and this fact is responsible for
much OF the dsharmony in the ranks of
labor at present.

Expenses Abroad.

Railway fares, unless one travels in
slow trains and miserably in third-class
cars, are more expen i've in Europe
than in the United States, and the ac-
commodation is Inferior For a Sleep
ing car berth from Paris to Nice one
pays eighteen dollars; in America one
may travel from New York to Chicago,
a greater distance, in sleeping.car for
five dollars. Life in good European
hotels costs as much as it does in good
hotels in America; but travellers may
be independent and get cheap accom-
mediation in third class hotels, if they
like: they will be badly lodged and fed.
Open-air music, beer, wines, and COM
mon cigars cost less in Europe than in
America, but good theatres, first class
opera, and excellent cigars are quite as
expensive abroad as at home. Ser
wants wages are lower here, but eXpe.
rience proves that one good American
servant does the work of two Euro
peans, and does it more simply and
neatly. Street-car fares are about the
same in Europe as in America. Many
medicines, such as quinine, for in.
stance, are very much dearer. The
real difference in favor of Europe is
that one may, if one chooses, adjust tho
standard of living to ones income.
Economy is respected in Europe and is
considered respectable, whereas in
America this is not always the case.
In Europe, even people of considerable
means may live simply and economize
in way that at home would excite un-
pleasant comment. Here it is accepted
as matter of COURSE LippincottS.

Will the Popular Books Live!

If you ask admirers of the younger
contemporary literature whether they
think it will be long.lived, you will find
that the most optimistic of them rather
blench at the question. And if you
yourself recall the most conspicuous
and successful books of the last decade,
not to speak of single tales or poems,
is it easy to think of two of which you
can say seriously that you believe they
will be we'll known at the end of twenty
years? There has been no lack of in
stances of great temporary vogue, quite
as remarkable as similar ones in the
past-and not of the lower sensational
order either, but among the more
thoughtful readers who make, or ought
to make, the beginning of enduring
reputation. Yet think everyone who
stops to think of it feels in all that is
"going" just now (the word is omi-
nous) this peculiar lack Of the perma-
nent element-a lack which is really
something more than the common
fancy of the worshiper of the past, or
the unappeasable critic of new things.
Just what is responsible for it is an
interesting question, though one of
those to which, just after we have
settled them neatly, some suddenly
arriving man of genius commonly
gives the great solution that upsets all
others. Certainly it seems Gear, for
one thing, that it is overwhelming de-
votion to extreme contempor. nco GUS
ness, to local color, and to minuteness
of characte. ization, is heavily against
the chances of long life of even our
ceverest fiction; not so much its real
ism as its tendency to the microscope
and its use of the instantaneous
shutter ITO take figure from the
camera. -Scribner's
