AMERICAN TOILERS.
The Executive Council of the A. F.
of L. Meets.
A BIG INCREASE IN ORGANIZATIONS.
Resolutions Adopted on the Miners Trou-
bles in the Cmur d'Alene District
The Eight-Hour Bill to BE
Pressed III Congress.

Washington, Oct. 17.-The executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor met here yesterday. The secre-
tary's report shows great increase
of organizations formed and affiliated.
The income of organization more than
doubled that of the year 1898. The
miners trouble in the Ceur d'Alene
district of Idaho was taken up and the
following preambles and resolutions
were adopted:
Whereas, the struggle OF the miners Of Idaho
in the Coeur d'Alene district is one that should
have the support and sympathy of all organized
labor, and,
Whereas. the arrest and Imprisonment OF said
miners for alleged violation of law has been I'M
paralleled for the brutality exhibited toward
the men while confined in the bull pen, where,
because of unnecessary deprivation, some have
died and the health OF others have been i'm
paired; therefore be IL
Resolved that the executive council OF the
A. +. of l.. does hereby appropriate the sum of
t5OJ to assist in their legal defense, and most
heartily urges all local unions who have not al
ready made don tions who are directly or in
directly affliated with the a. f. OF L., to re-
spond as literally possible to the appeal Of
the miners for funds for proper legal defense
and be 1t further
Resolved that the executive council Of the A.
+. of L. use all honorable means to assist the
miners in securing an early adjudication of the

the issuance of injuuetions by courts,
so that they shall not lie against work.
Ing people, either singly or in combina-
ton, quitting employment, or against
the moral persuasion of workers con-
sidering the question of quitting such
employment.
1t was decided to press in the coming
congress the eight-hour bill which
passed the house of representatives
and failed of passage in the senate in
the last hours of the Fifty-ifth con-
gress.
Attention was called to the fact that
the order of the secretary of the navy
for the payment of time and half for
work over the eight-hour day in eases
of emergency has not been carried out
in the Charlestown, Mass, navy yard,
and action was taken to bring this to
the notice of the navy department with
view to its ratification.
The reports of $50 organizers through
out the country were considered, as
well u, those of the nine special organ
i1Crs who are nov travelling through
od, the south and the intermoal tain
coantry of the west. 1t was resol we'd
to add to the number with view of
the more thorough organization of the
wage-worlIers of the country. 1t was
also decided to appoint organizers fol

THE COLUMBIA WON.
The American Yacht Beats the Shamrock
in the First Race of the Series
for the Trophy.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE cup which
the old schooner America won so com
mandingly against all corners over the
course around the Isle of Wight in
1891 and brought back across the seas,
will probably remain here another
year, Il defiance to the world. In a glo-
rious breeze, over windward and lee
ward course of 80 miles, the Columbia
scored against the Shamrock yesterday
in the first race of the 1899 series for
the trophy. She bounded across the
finish line fully ~ miles ahead of the
challenger, defeating her by 1914
actual time, or 1913 corrected time,
after allowing the six seconds handi-
cap which Columbia must concede to
the challenger on account of her longer
water line. 1t was n decisive contest,
IA magnificent race, magnifcently sailed
and magnifcently won. Opinion as to
the merits of the two boats had been
somewhat divided as IA result of the
fukes during the past two weeks. AL
though the preponderance of expert
opinion never wavered in its loyalty TO
the wonderful speed and ability of the

that the Shamrock would be so over
whelmingly vanquished as she was in
yesterdays royal struggle. The Yam
kee boat outgeneraled her at the
start, beat her hopelessly in windward
work to the outer mark and gained %
seconds in the run home before the
wind. IL is undoubtedly IA bitter blow,
because the English hopes of lifting
the cup have never been higher since
the Thistle met the Volunteer in 1887.
