A. F. Of L. Convention.

The annual convention of the Ameri-
can Federation OF Labor, which will open
in Kansas City, Mo-, Monday promises
to be the most important In the history
OF organized labor. It may take radical
action looking toward political action
of It's members independent OF the organ
ization; a strong effort will be made TO
bring this about, at any rate. 1t Is we'll
known that most trade uniohists are
socialists or have strong leaning that
way, and efforts will be made to have
them endorse one Of the two Socialist
parties.
Resolutions fayoring and adverse to
expansion will be brought before the
convention. Other resolutions against
the employment of women, remuneration
for machinists and others who worked
overtime in navy yards and arsenals,
the reference to the Supreme court for
decision on constitutfonality, and other
matters requiring Congressional action
will be brought up.
The friends Of President Gompers
think that he will again be elected, along
with the rest of the executive council.
Secretary Morrison left Washington yes
terday for Kansas City, and President
Gompers and the Eastern members of
the executive council will leave to-mor-
row. The present officers Of the Fedora
tion are as follows: President, Samuel
GOmpers; secretary, Frank Morrison;
treasurer, John B. Lennon, Blooming
ton, ILL.,; first vice president, P. ]. Nc
Guire, Philadelphia; second vice presi-
dent, James Duncan, Baltimore; third
vice president, James Connell, Chicago;
fourth vice president, M. M. Garland,

The month of Ramadan, i'll which the

all Mohammedans Tho fast extends
over the whole month of raging heat
and involves extraordinary self denial
and self control No food or drink OF
any kind may be taken from daybreak
until tho appearance of the stars at
nightfall
The rigor with which Mohammedan
observes this fast and the great gulf be-

the moral code are both illustrated by a
story told in the life Of one of the he.

While Nicholson in 1854 was deputy
