Cincinnatz, Dec. 1.-THE sixteenth an

ton of Labor was called to order here at
10 a m. today by President Samuel Com
pers- About 150 delegates were present
and many visitors.
President Gompers in responding to the
address of welcome referred to attacks
on the organization because it was mere
" a federation and not a more compact
union. He showed how the fullest scope
was given to individual opinions and
rights in the American Federation of La
Dor and thus the afhliation of different
labor organizations was possible in one
general federation. He appealed for con-
tinued efforts for the cultivation Of pub
lie opinion well as for favorable legis-
lation and for the most earnest co-opera-
ton of all labor organiza tions.

GOV. MOTION ACTS.
New Yorlz's Governor Asks a Confer
ence Between Mckinley and
Clauala1d

New York, Decl4.-Governor Morton
according to a statement published in
the Evening World sent a telegram to
President Cleveland yesterday in rela-
ton to the critical condition of Cuban
affairs and the assassination Of Gen.
MaceO in particular. The message the
World adds, contained the novel sug
gestiOn that President Cleveland invite
President-eIect Mckinley to Washing
ton to discuss the most feasible plan to
be followed by the president concern
ing the attitude of the United States
towards Cuba during the remainder of
President Cleveland's term of office.
The governor pointed out in his tele-
gram the complica tiOns that might con
front President-elec Mckinley in deal
ing with the Cuban question as result
of any precipitate. or ill-advised act on
the part of President Cleveland and
suggested a conference between the
outgoing and incoming chief execu-
tives. The World article continues 1t
is not probable that Governor Morton
would have prOffered his suggestion
unless he believed that it would be ac-
ceptab to President-elect Mckinley.
Indeed. it is said that the governor has
had some correspondence with the
preSide dent-elect on the subject.
