The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1895-12-05

from one cause and another the mem
bership of the Knights Of Labor has
been greatly reduced.
The coming convention is sure to be
a spirited one. Many questions are COM
ing up. the disposition Of which will
have much to do with the future of the
organization. Possibly nothing more
important will need to be considered
than the choice of president. Last year
at Denver John Mcbride, who for years
had been head of the organized miners,
was chosen in place of Samuel Gompers,
who was the first president of the fed
Grafton as at present organized, and had
served continuously until that time.
The first convention of the federation
was held in Pittsburg, in 1vember,
1881. when the title of 1.-THE leration
of the Organized Trades and Labor On
ions of the United States and Canada"
was taken. Knights of Labor assemblies
and trade unions were equally repre-
sented, and it was understood that both
forms of organization should be pre-
served and that the two should work
hano IN hand for the perfection of unity
among labor organizations. About $780,
900 workers were represented, and since
that time conventions have been held
annually
For awhile, however, the federation
did not increase rapidly in strength.
This was no doubt in great measure due
to the booming growth of the Knights
of Labor. Since the knights began to
decline the federation has increased year
ly with great rapidity. The points Of
difference between the Knights and the
unions affiliated with the federation,
though not generally understood, are
many and radical. All of these need not
be entered into here, but one of the most
striking lies in the fact that while the
general assembly of the Knights is a
strictly secret meeting. the convention
Of the federation is open to spectators.
Another point is that while the chief
purpose Of the Knights is ostensibly the
revolution of economic conditions, that
of the federation's unions is the gradual
changing of conditions along evolution
ary instead of revolutionary lines, while
the immediate object of the organiza-
tion is the securing of better wages,
shorter hours and other material advan-
tages for the working people. Between
the Knights and the federation decided
antagonism exists, and more than one
contest between workingmen and their
employers has resulted in disaster to the
men through this antagonism. No doubt
the bad feeling is mnch fostered by the
somewhat pronounced socialistic ten
denotes manifested Of late by the Knights
of Labor which are not indorsed by the
federation.
Another important point of difference
In addition to those named is this: The
Knights of Labor is a highly centralized
organization. The various trade and
local assemblies Of the Knights are gen.
orally supposed to obey the orders of the
general executive board, issued through
the general master workman. It is not
so with the unions making up the Amer
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1895-12-05

who form the executive council may be
and frequently are asked to give advice
when strikes are proposed. But what
they have to say is always simply ad-
visory and in nowise binding, while it
is often disregarded. But whenever a
strike is approved by the executive coun-
Gil, as soon as it is ordered by the union
directly interested, all the affiliated un-
ions join in supporting it by money con-
tributions and otherwise.
The executive council may lay boy
eott when asked to do so by an affili-
ated union, but before doing this must
investigate the cause of the request and
may refuse at discretion. 1t is expected
that all unions will respect boycott
when ordered, but there is no penalty
for failure to do so, since to force obedi-
Gnce in that matter would be to disre-
gard the federation s fundamental prin-
ciple. 1t should be added, however, that
D union would hesitate long before de-
Gliding to disregard a request for cooper
alton in boycott, since such action
would render it liable to lack of support
by other unions in case it should ask for
assistance.
The failure of Samuel Gompers to
win reelection last year at the Denver
convention was unquestionably great
surprise both to him and the majority
of his supporters Opposition had been
developed. it is true, at previous con-
ventions, but he had always been too
strong for his opponents, and it was sup
posed that he would continue so at Dem
yer. Those. who were against him in
previous ytSrs had generally been of the
more radical element which has not al
ways been satisfied with his course, and
had Mr.. Gompers and his friends un-
derstood that in certain circumstances
other elements than the radical ones
would combine with them against him
they might have SO arranged matters as
to re-elect him after all. 1t should be
stated to the credit of Gompers and his
friends that they accepted defeat in good
part; that they are as good federation
lists now as ever, and that they have
supported President Mcbride during the
past year with perfect loyalty.
Whether Mr.. Gompers will be unan-
imously supported for election to his old
place by those who have supported him
in the past it is hard to say, but there
is no doubt of there being lively con-
test for the presidency. Mcbride will
have some very strong support for re-
election, as a matter of course, and there
will probably be several candidates in
the field.
In the American Federation of Labor,
as in the United States generally, 10
cality has something to do with senti-
ment. Thus, the west is more radical
than the east, and it is claimed by those

who opposed the election of Mr.. Nc.
Bride that bad the convention been held
elsewhere than in a farwestern city last
year the result of the balloting would
have been different. AS the convention
will be held in New York, the very GEN.
ter of the conservative element, for the
6rst time this year, it is believed by
those making up that element that they
will stand much better chance of win
ming than they did last year.
The candidates who have been talked
Of include men from both east and the
west. The name of Mr.. Gompers is, of
course, prominent one in all discus
sions of the federation g presidency, but
there are some who hold that P. J. Nc
Guire Of the carpenters, Philadelphia
man who has built up his own organiza-
tion in mastery fashion, would make
an excellent president. The carpenters
would back him solidly, and they have
900 votes in a total of about $500. Mr..
MCGUIRE is clear and forcible speaker,
and is well known in labor circles gen.
orally. Some there are who favor Joseph
Valentine of the iron molders, and he
since, although he is acceptable to many
fasteners, he now lives in San Fran
cisco, and is therefore popular in the
west. The iron molders have $50 votes
In the convention. Another man who is
highly spoken of is William Prescott Of
the International Typographica union,
who is now serving his fourth m as
president of that organization, and is
the first of its presidents to be elected
beyond the second term. The printers
have $50 votes in the convention. Mr..
Prescott lives in Indianapolis. August
McCraith of Boston, another printer, is
likewise spoken of with great favor, and
in the opinion of many, ]. B. Lennon,
secretary Of the Journeyman Tailors'
International union, would make a
good president. He is now treasurer Of
the federation, and although his union
is not so large as the unions represented
by other possible candidates mentioned
above, he stands extremely we'll with all
as safe and fair minded man who has
passed through varied and extensive
experience in the labor movement. Mr..
Lennon now lives in New York, but as
the headquarters of the tailors are likely
to be removed to the west, and as he was
originally from Denver, he may prop
erly be considered a western man. Still
one more candidate who stands we'll
with every one is Daniel Harris of the
cigar makers, now president Of the New
York State Federation of Labor, whose
union has 800 votes in the convention.

Talks With n Reporter.
Examiner. San Francisco. Cal.
In speaking of the physical endur-
ance which is required Of bakers as a
class. Mr.. Louis Coppola, of 969 Har-
ward street, San Francisco, took oo-
casion to say that many of them break
down under the severe strain of their
work. The most vital point of endur-
ance is the back. The men have to
bend over the long troughs in which
the dough is mixed. The work is COM
paratively light until the dough begins
to thicken, but then it becomes a con-
tinuous process of lifting and throwing
the heavy mass in trough containing
three hundred or four hundred pounds
of dough. 1t necessitates the employ
ment of almost herculean strength to
properly mix the dough.

work, :" said Mr.. Coppola.

Labor circles are beginning to discuss

Time was, and not SO many years ago
either, when the general assembly of the
knights of Labor was far and away the
most important labor gathering of the
year, but nowadays the lead is taken by
the convention of the federation, the
membership Of the unions affiliated with
it being not less than million, while
