unanimous in denouncing the scheme
as hurtful to the best interests of the
state, as we'll as a grave injustice to
free labor. Resolutions meeting the
wishes of the workingmen of the state
in relation to the matter were adopted
and ordered sent to the various state
executives. Other resolutions were
adopted indorsing the union label of
the garment workers of America and

A Richmond Banker Had Too
Many Friends.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 1.-THE fall
ure of James B. Pace, president of the
Planters National bank, was an
nounced this afternoon. He has made
the bank secure by deciding to it $780,
900 worth of real estate, which will
cover his liability to that institution.
The total liabilities are about $1,000,000,
and the creditors are in five classes
The Virginia Trust company, of which
Mr.. Pace was also president, is pre-
ferred. His son is a creditor in the
third class in the sum of 100000. In the
fifth and last class are Northern cred
itors aggregating 100000. The bank is
made absolutely secure and has plenty
of currency to meet all demands
Other banks have pledged any assist
ance that may be needed. The direct
cause of the failure is attributed to the
inability of friends, whose paper he
held, to meet their obligations. He
had also been unfortunate in cotton
speculation

LAID ON THE TABLE.
The question of sending fraternal
delegates to the international congress
of socialistic workers at London next
August, was the first business taken up
by the convention in the morning.
The motion, which was pending when
the convention adjourned last nlSht,
to refer the matter to affiliated bodies,
was lost, and a motion to lay on the
table was carried by a vote OF o2 TO III.
That part of the presidents report
which has been construed as recon-
mending separate political action by
wage-earners was taken up. Delegate
Barnes, of Philadelphia, said that the
time had come when some other means
than strikes must be employed by the
working classes. The socialistic par
ty, he said, was growing and would
continue.
Delegate Gompers objected to the re-
port He said he was surprised to
hear the socialistic delegates speak as
they had on the floor of the convention
of the Federation of Labor. Treasurer
John B. Lennon also objected to that
part of the report which reads: while
drudging under the wage system to
the polIs'' He said he was not under
the drudgery rule and no other honest
man was.
Delegate Pomeroy offered a substi-
tute for the report of the committee,
declaring that the failure of the Den
yer convention to adopt the twelve
planks as a political platform made
it patent that the federation was no
platform which can be called political.
The substitute elected a spirited debate
and was adopted.
That part Of the presidents report
that referred to the missions of trades
unions was taken up next. Delegate
Pomeroy offered a resolution regard
ing the requirement of unions desiring
admission to the American Federation
of Labor A report from the committee
on law, favoring an amendment to the
con Hitution, providing that local unions
not affiliated with the national union
be excluded from the central bodies,
was under discussion when the hour
for recess arrived.
Immediately after the afternoon ses-
sion had convened Delegate Weissman
moved that the convention go into eX-
ecutive session to hear the report Of
the grievance committee, because it
had been said the committee had be-
fore Kept matters of Importance to the
convention back until after the elec-
ton of officers. The motion was car
ried.

GENERAL LABOR NOTES.
Items of Interest Clipped From
Leading Trade Journals.

The following pathetic lines are from
an address made by Minnie Rosen,
president of the Women's Labor Union
of New York, at recent meeting of
the Social Reform club: Ladies of
the Social Reform club, you are looking
for something to do to better the cond1-
tion of women wage earners. We of
the sweatshops can give you plenty to
do. Abolish that system, and more
than half the work you have set out to-
do will be done. We do not ask for en-
joyment. All we want is that little
time be left us for study, a little time
for recreation in the open air, Httlff
time to watch our mothers in the

Mr.. Cleveland was willing to crafty

dressed in a sack suit of black and
those who expected to see him arrayed
in fishing and hunting costume were
disappointed. His face was bronzed
