KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Dec. 14.-At the
annual convention of the American
Federation of Labor to-day the dele
eates listened with great interest to
iSlks by William Thorne and William
InsEip, delegates from the British labor
Congress-, and to response by Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers.
The burden of Mr.. Thorne's talk was
that labor should strive constantly Tor
bsttet organization and to WELD pow
81 On politics. In England, said he, one
great element OF organized labor's pow
81 was the fact that political positions
were held bv SO great percentage OF
ulionists.
Delegate Insklp urged not only
stronger organization, but a stronger
friendship between American and Brit
ish unlonIsts. What was needed, he
said, was not only federation OF trades
organisations. but n federation with
our Engllsh-spe1klng countries. The
sentiment was heartily cheered.
Mr.. Inslslp went on to express his be-
lieE In the principle Of arbitration OF all
dIficultles and enumerated instances OF
the settlement OF British strikes By ar
bitratlon which had been alone possible
from the fact that arbitration in Eng
land was constructed on so thorough
basis,
president Gompers said there was
sometimes an apprehension as to the
conditions Of the workers OF our coun-
try. A greater percentage Of meehan.
zeal labor, outside the agricultural ele-
ment he said, were organized in Amer
lea than on any part OF the globe.
Small conventions were not necessarily
an indication OF lack OF strength. While
ne declared that unI0nists were active
IN defending their principles In politics.
citing the fact that seventeen union
men were members OF the Colorado
state legislature, Mr.. Gompers, Hever-

this line.

DAMAGED HER CASE.
Mrs. Kings Testimony Showed She
Had Not Resided Here a Year.
She Had led Petit on For Dvorc. ana
Asked For an Allowance.

Mrs. Florence A. King, who last May
filed a petition for a divorce from Dan
lei \. King, a boss farmer in Taunton,
asked Judge Rogers to grant her an
allowance, in the appellate division of
the Supreme Court today She testified
she married her husband i'm Scotland i'm
1890, and since that time had lived with
him in different eastern states until she
left him, nine months ago.
Her cross SS-eXamination made short
work OF her application, for IL developed
the fact that she and her husband lived
together as man and wife i'm Middle
boro, Mass, from September 4, 1897 to
January /, 1898. Her counsel thought
she did not understand the questions
but Judge Rogers remarked that she
was an intelligent woman, and Mrs
King made no effort to change her
damaging testimony. The testimony
was damaging because IL proved that
at the fling of the petition for divorce
Mrs. King had not been. as the statute
requires, for one year a resident of this
state.
Mr.. +. +. Sweet Of Brockton. who was
associated with Attorney Edward Il.
Allen. said that the citation in the case
had been originally given to John Mel
son and by him turned over to Frank
II. Wildes. and that the counsel who
represented Mrs. King i'm court today
only recently came into the case. Mr..
Sweet wanted the divorce petition dis
missed, but Judge Rogers said he had
no authority TO grant the request.
