suggestions were made. One proposition
was the appointment of a committee
which should have full power to consider
the preamble, platform, etc., looking to-
ward political action. Another one was TO
adjourn subject to the call of the chair
and meanwhile inform the different labor
unions represented by circular letter of
what was done at the convention. Then
the delegates could meet again with in
structions as to how they should act in re-
gard to organizing permanent federation
of trades.
The advisability of pursuing a political
rule for the amelioration OF labor was dis
cussed. Some delegates declared that
politics should not be allowed to enter into
the debates II. Meyer, president of Car.
penters' Union No. %, touched an appar-
emily tender spot in the thoughts of the
labor representatives when he said:
There was time when the boycott
was considered pretty good weapon of
defense: there was a time when strikes
were regarded as a power. But these times
have gone; they are a thing of the past,
and now we are convinced that the only
hope for labor is in the ballot
motion made by E. L. Maulsbary of
Carpenters Union No. % solved the prob
lem. 1t was with an amendment that a
committee consisting of one delegate from
each union be appointed to arrange the
platform and resolutions and to organize a
I
new federation. The following named

Interesting Story of His Experiences
Round the World-Has an En-.
ticing Offer From Paris.

A. A. Iimm erman, champion cycllst OF
the world, arrived on the Monowai from
Australia yesterday and is stopping at the
Palace. He is accompanied by his wife.
He is in excellent condition and good
spirits. and is apparently well pleased with
his experiences round the world. He
parts his hair in the middle, wears noisy
figured silk vest. brown suit and an i'm
mense diamond on his finger.
He will remain here for some days and
be entertained by local cycling clubs. His
plans for the future are somewhat In abey-
ance. He says he is not certain that he

sides desire to rest up after his journey
lngs, he is inclined to turn his attention
ITO business" the manufacture and sale
OF the Jimmy" wheel.
With regard to his Australian expert
ences he shows no disposition to make
excuses. He says he suffered from the ex-
treme heat, the hot winds and binding
sand blasts. and, for a time after arriving
there, slight attack of malaria. He is
not enthusiastic about Australia in any
way. The climate is disagreeable, he
says. The day they left the mercury
registered lie in the shade. The towns
are at long distances apart, the railroads
in bad shape, the tracks are all slow
grass tracks, except the ST. Kilda track at
Melbourne. However, he says, sports
have large following, and crowds OF from
1900 to 2T,000 people attended the races.
Liberal prizes are offered, as may be with
this plethoric gate"
He began his Australian racing at Ade-
laide, where he won two races. AT Sydney
he won two. at Brisbane he won five, at
Newcas tie four, at Melbourne six. The
races were all handicaps heat races, and
the scratch men had little chance. Some
OF the races required six and seven heats.
The Australians, he says, are not so fast as
in America and France. They have not
had the experience, and the conditions are
not favorable. The best time he made on
the grass tracks was 2:22.
Eyes, | have kept reasonably we'll in
formed as to cycling affairs in this coun-
try" said the champion. II am rather
surprised at the outcome of the last sea-
sons racing. | expected to see some one
rise up distinctly superior to the general
crowd. While some few have distin-
gTished themselves above others, still
there is no one who has signalized himself
over the others. Yes, have noted the
change in the rules drawing simple lines
between amateurs and professionals and
/ think it is good one"
Speaking of the result of his tour round
the the world, he said: "Well it has kept
me hustling. There is a great deal of
difference between racing in this country
where one knows the speed of every one
and great deal about his methods, when
to squirt and when to keep in reserve. In
England and in France the men were all
to new to me, kept me guessing and riding
all the time for all l was worth. 1t was
very hard work. In France great interest

IS KNOWN AND NOT KNOWN
Many Names Given the Burglar
Killed in the Franklin
Residence.
Police Searching Eagerly for Friends
or Acquaintance Of the Man
at the Morgue.

1.-The man is not yet IDENTIFIED said
Captain Lees last night, speaking of the
burglar killed at the Franklin residence on
Friday morning. II have had half dozen
men state positively that they know the
mans name, but investigation has failed
to substantiate their statements, and I
have seen too many instances of mistaken
identity to believe man identified till
corroboratlve circum stances can be found ="
The man at the Morgue is a very familiar
type. He is apparently of Irish extraction.
He Is not bad-looking man, has a fairly
well shaped head and features that indi-
cate certain refinement of nature foreign
to the brutal characteristics of the pro-
fessional criminal. His face is neither very
good nor very bad In fact, it is of such a
common type that it impresses almost
every observer with the feeling that he has
seen it somewhere before.
All day crowds of people thronged
into the Morgue. Many went hoping to
Identify the man: More were drawn by
idle curiosity. Among the latter Were
manv women.
Among those who came to identity the
man was Peter Vidoyich. He was brought
by Officer Rourke. and at once recognized
the man as one with whom he had had
trouble in the gallery of the Grand Opera
house on last Monday night.
Vldovich and the policeman haunted the
cheap amusement resorts and cheap lodg-
ing-bouses last night in an attempt to find
the dead mans companions. They did
not find them, however.

story, and also agreed in his description of

could remember to have seen him. Vido-

The resolution from the Carpenters
Union of Oakland brought out a heated
discussion and a flow of oratory upon the
eight-hour question. This resolution pro-
tested against abuses of the eight-hour law
and was intended for presentation to Con-
gress for aid.
A delegate from Oakland stated that he
had worked in various places in San Fran
cisco and Oakland where men were worked
ten hours. The Union Iron w orks, where
he worked, violated the law in this respect,
and in one instance an employe told the
delegate that men had to be worked over
time or else manufacturers could not sue
ceed in competition. McIvor added that
the law was violated as matter of course
even by the United States Government,
and Congress was aware of that fact to
man. The remedy lay In voting those
men out of office.
j. J. Ryan remarked that Contractor
Day, who built the Columbia River locks,
compelled the men to work overtime so
that few men could bear the hard.work.
If the long hours did not suit them the
workingmen were told to ''get off the res
ervation." And that was a Government
contract. The resolution was adopted
without dissenting voice.
The question of permanent central
la abor organization and the EN- bod diment of
the various resolutions and the platform
were taken under consideration. A great
diversity of opinion was manifested by
delegates, and correspondingly different

labor world as leader in the social ques-
tions involved.
P. H. Mccarthy (Carpenters) aroused
enthusiasm when he stated that 1t was
idle for delegates to teach the convention
matters with which they were thoroughly
familiar. This brought out motion that
delegates be allowed to speak but once
and at most for five minutes, which was
carried.
The resolutions and preamble as follows
were adopted unanimously:
WHEREAS, The competitive system of in
dustry based primarily upon the individual
ownership of natures unmodified resourc es
and subsequently upon.the individual owner
ship of the tools of production, has with the
march of invention and the evolution OF So
ciety toward higher and more complex forms
of human relationship become an inSuffera-
bic burden and undeniable oppression to the
wage working classes; and whereas, the afore-
said competitive system otherwise known as
the capitalistic plan of private exploitation of
those deprived of tools and land) has, through
its phenomenal accumulation OF wealth into
the hands OF the few, become stumbling
block in the path OF progress, prolific cor
ruptor of public freedom and menace
to individual liberty, using its unjust ad-
vantages over the masses of the people to
coerce and again cajole them into the support
of political measures which would be an insult
TO the conscience OF freemen and to which
their pressing physical needs alone give sane
ton; and whereas, the mentally capable
among the wageworking classes, knowing the
unjust foundation of the competitive system
and the unequal advantages accruing to those
who control and profit by it, are by far too
clever not 10 know that all this iniquitous sys-
tenn can of its own motion possibly yield to
the wageworker is merely that amount OF his
product necessary to the renewal of his labor
power, Withholding from him by the terms of
the system his welI-earned leisure, luxury and
recreation; therefore be it

tives of the trades and labor organizations of

Barn on Clay Street Burned.

An alarm was turned in through box 324
last evening at $50 O'clock for fire in barn
owned by II. II. Lowenthal, in the rear of 2lI2
Clay street. The fire companies responded
promptly, but the combustible contents of the
barn made 1t impossible for the flames to be
extlnguished until the building had been en-
tirely destroyed. 1t is presumed that the fire
started from lighted cigar being carelessly
thrown in the refuse which covered the barn
floor. The damage will amount to about $1,000,
partly covered by insurance.
