GOMPERS AND DEBS.
The President OF the Federation TeIIs why he
Didn't Attend the st. Louis Convention.


WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.-Samuel Gompers, tho
President OF the American Federation of Labor
explained to-day why no did not attend tho
Debs Social Democracy Convention In ST. Louis
last Monday and Tuesday. Labor people have
been wondering why the representative trade
unionists Of the country, and particularly Mr.
Gompers, did not join the Debsites.
Mr.. Gompers said the call for the convention
contained his name with an official indorse-
ment. This was mistake. 1t was placed
there. said Mr.. Gompers. by Mr.. Ratchford. who
knew his sympathy with the striking miners
and thought he would go to any lengths to help
them TO success- Mr.. Gompers explained that
tho call was issued to organized labor and all
reform, social. educational, and scientific bod
les who condemn government by injunction.
In other words, said Mr.: Gompers, per
sons entirely remote from and having no connec-
ton with labor movements could have been in
attendance. and, by overwhelming numbers, d.
rect the course, map out tho policy, and dom
mated the trade union movement. As Presi-
dent OF the American Federation % Labor. a re-
sponsible officer in the trade union movement,
would not dare hazard the interests OF our fell
low workers at the hands OF persons who might
be entirely Irresponsible
Mr. Gompers said he would not say anything
in criticism OF the ST. Louis Convention. He re-
iterated his interest in having the miners win.

ORIGIN OF THE WINDSOR FIRE.

Halifax. Oct. PA colored youth
named Charles Croxon. who has been
arrested at Windsor on suspicion Of
knowing considerable about the con-
fagration which destroyed the town last
Sunday, tells a startling story. Croxon
says he was asleep in the dive run by the
colored man Fletcher. alongside whose
place the fire started. and who is also
under arrest. Fletcher occupied the
same room. Between 2 and 3 a. m. John
Mcintyre, the third prisoner, knocked at
the outside door and called out that there
was a fire in the barn. Fletcher and
Croxon got out, and the three men ran
from the scene without attempting to
extinguish the flames. which they could
have done easily. 1t is known that Nc
untyre bought a can OF oil the day be-
fore the fire. while Croxon states that
Fletcher removed some OF the moN>
valuable furniture and fittings from his
place the night before.
