was packed, the delegates occupying the

The report Of the grand chief conductor

order were made, which win be taken
under consideration.
The next was the report of the grand

The next speaker was Mrs. j. H. Moore,
grand president of the ladies auxiliary OF
the Order of Railway Conductors.
MRS. MOORE'S SPEECH
Mrs. Moore opened her address with a
most appreciat tive tribute to Los Angeles
and touched upon the anticipations the
order had INDUCED in, in coming to the
coast to this convention. The speaker
touched on the work of the order, its
educational value, it's development, not
only of the intellectual faculties, but of
the character. The change in the status
of women was commented upon, and the
honor given them in convention noticed.
appreciatively. The speaker then dis
cussed the home life of the women
which, she believed, was made broader
and better by outside work and contact
with the world. She believed with
Frances Willard that. the ideal life for
women was to make all she enters
home Higher education was touched
and the better fitting of women for FAM
lily life in it's broad education. Tribut.
was paid to the men and also to the
order of conductors for their noble and

again when Grand Chief Conductor e.
E. Clark came forward to reply.
MR.. cLARK's ADDRESS
The grand conductor made most
happy little address and seemed in close
touch with hie audience, who greeted
him with effusion and applauded every
time he stopped for an occasional
breath.
Mr.. Clark said each one knew the
pleasure of visit was doubled and re-
doubled in proportion to the welcome
received, and that in no place had the
delegates felt more at home than IN this,
the City of the Angels, When they had
gone to sleep in Yuma with the Indians
and awakened in the orange groves OF
Redlands, they thought the Arabian
Nights no longer stretch of'the imagi-
nation. From force of habit the conduct
ors had brought their angels with them
and to look at the party it was plain to
be seen none had come for their health.
Mr.. Clark then paid a charming trib;
ute to Los Angeles, its growth, its i'm
provement, it's advancement, its hos
pitality, and congratulated the mayor
on being the head of such a city. He
also recognized the ladies' auxiliary
moot delightfully."- extending them a
welcome and greetings in this conven-
ton assembled. The work of the or
ganization was touched upon by Mr..
Clark, its advancement, and the hope
was expressed that the world would be
better for its having an existence.
Mr.. Clark closed with the hope that
in the dawn of the twentieth century
the Order of Railroad Conductors would
keep it's record and its status in the ac-
tion of simple right and simple justice.
After the applause in which Mr. Chrk
retired had subsided. Mrs. l.. p. Collette

true and tender pathos. The singer was

A short address was made by H. S

vision, who was greeted with perfect
storm of applause. He extended hearty
welcome to all the delegates, but de-

each one would take home with him de-
lightful memories Of the California trip.
Mr. Kinch was followed by Mayor NJ p.
Snyder, who made the following ad-
dress:
MAYOR SNYDER'S ADDRESS
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Members Of
the Order of Railway Conductors: 1t
affords me great pleasure, on behalf Of
our citizens, to welcome you to Los An
geles. This city, in fact, the whole Of
Southern California feels proud, and
Justly so, at being honored by your pres
ence.
The Order of Railway Conductors is
one of the great powers of the North
American continent. 1t is only few
wears ago that it came into existence.
From a small beginning the order has
grown, until today it has membership
of many thousands and prosperous
lodges all over the United States. in the
republic of Mexico and beyond the Ca
madam border. AS the standard of rail-
road systems improves so improves the
Order of Railway Conductors. Each
day sees it's power for doing good in
crease.
This organization has, in my opinion,
done more than all else to better the con-
dition of railway conductors, socially.
financially and otherwise. The life of
railroad mar is full OF danger He
doesn't know when he will make his last
run, and it is this fact that makes men,
bership in the Order of Railway Con-
ductors valuable to him, for in the event
of his death the wife and little ones will
be looked after. l am told that hum
dreds Of thousands of dollars are paid
out by the order in benefits for the sick
and disabled and in helping the families
of deceased members of the organiZa-
lion.
I trust that the twenty-sixth session
of the Order of Railway Conductors will
be fruitful of much good to all, and that
your stay among us will be one so pleas
ant as never to be forgotten. Califor-
mans pride themselves on their hospital
ity, and we want you to say when you
return to your far-distant homes that
the stories of our hospitality have not
been exaggerated.
Again I welcome you to our city. The
hand of good fellowship is extended to

order Of conductors ana the order Of flre-
men. He paid Z glowing tribute to
Grand Conductor b. y. Clark, and
sketched, the effect Of the speech made
by Mr.. Clark in Cincinnati to the labor
men some time eince. which was 80 nobly
and ably done. The speaker touched on
organized labor, which he said had yet
great problems to solve. From the mis-
takes of the past the future would be one
in which advancement would be made,
but each must stand with each, and
struggle together as one body of toilers.
The hope was expressed that the time
would come when the railroad men would
stand together as one railroad organiza-
ton, a federation OF. the railway en-
ployes of America. Mr. Sargent. who
was a most able speaker, paid tribute
to the order, to the auxiliary. to the
officials. on behalf Of the order. he rep
resented.
MR.. MYERS ADDRESS
The last address was made by Fred
Myers of the Brotherhood OF Locomotive
Engineers.
Mr.. Myers touched briefly upon the
work Of the brotherhood, its principles.
and its cympathies. He extended cor
dial and fraternal GREETINGS to the order
of railroad conductors. On the subject
of organized labor he said he believed
it had but just begun its work. In the
future It will cast aside the things detri-
mental; prejudice will give way to calm
deliberation. and organized labor VIII
take into consideration the natural COM
mercial laws and not despair when 1t

not under the flag of anarchy, but IN the
name of reason and justice. 1t will lift
no hand in violence and will know the
beginning of its downfall must follow
with physical violence. 1t will seek to
elevate the character and develop al,
its fellow laborers. 1t will learn when its
interests are Identical with capital and
will then stand shoulder to shoulder
with capital in an intelligent under
standing of the political questions of the
day.
! On such lines organized labor Will be-
come better organized, and its relations
adjusted, so in the future 1t will have
nothing to fear

MIR. GIBBONS ADDRESS
The position which has been assigned
to me in the exercises of this evening
of saying word of welcome on behalf
of the business men and of the railroads
centering in the city of Los Angeles to
the assembled railroad conductors from
every part of our country, is one which
gives me a great deal of pleasure. l
have never, in the years in which this
charming city has been my home, seen
a gathering within it's borders whose
presence afforded me more qualification
than does the presence of this assem-
blage, 1t has been my fate, for a num-
Der of years to be connected with rail-
reads and railroading, and in that time
have, of course, been brought into con-
