CINCINNATI, Ohio, December IA -
One hundred and fifty delegates and
fopr times that number of on-lookers
were assembled In the auditorium of
the Odd Fellows temple this morning
when Samuel GonHpgs called to order
the sixteenth annual convention OF the
American federation OF Tabor. Under
the revised allotment, the number Of
delegates was not larger than in pre-
vious years, but the credentials handed
in represented total membership of
over 100000. The majority of the
delegates we're men of national promi-
nence in the ranks of organized labor
Immediately upon calling the con-
vention to order, President Gompers
invited to the platform the delegates
from the English trade union congress,
and amid rousing cheers SamueiW
and John Malinson stepped to the
stage. Next to John Burns, no labor
leader in England is better known or
has more extended influence than
Samuel Woods. A miner by occupa-
tion, he sat for several years in the
house OF commons as representative
of one OF the colliery districts of Lam
cashire. He is now secretary of the
parliamentary committee of the trades
congress, the highest honor that or.
ganized labor in England can bestow
upon one of its fellows. Mr.. Woods is
short and stout, with small, keen eyes,
smooth shaven and round, jolly,
Johnny Bull face. His colleague, John
Malinson, is tall, slim and decidedly
delicate looking. He was president Of
the trade union congress that met at
Edinburgh In October, and is a repre-
sentative Scotch unionist.
After appointing committee on
credentials, the convention took u
recess until 2 O'Clock p. m.
