AGAINST SLAVERY.
American Federation Passes
Resolutions of Condemnation.

Detroit, Dec. 19.-The American Fed
Grafton of Labor today declared against
slavery within the jurisdiction of the
United States in the following resOlu-
ton:
I'VE affirm our previous position on
this question, namely: That there must
be no slavery or serfdom, by ownership,
or contract, tolerated under the Ameri
can flag and that we will make any one
whose action shall in any way mill
tate against this principle of human
freedom responsible for such action in
every legitimate manner open to US.
1t was stated that 100 600 slaves are
now working under contract in the
Hawaiian islands, that evasion of the
contracts commits them to prison; that
their time in prison is added to their
terms of serfdom, and that the act ad-
mitting Hawaii to the United States
domain provided for continuation of
these contracts; q. provision for repeal
ing that feature having been voted
The convention adopted the declara-
ton unanimously.
A proposition for establishment of
court of five arbitratOrs to be appointed
by each annual convention of the Fed
Grafton of Labor to settle questions of
jurisdiction between the various fed
~erated bodies was rejected.
A ma ajOrity of the delegates held that
such arbitration would be unfair.
Resolutions were adopted as follows:
FavOring shorter hours for BARRIERS;
urging the government to provide more
seaworthy life boats; requesting plac-
ing of union labels on school books;
bringing machine cOepers under juris-
diction of Cooper's union: endorsing
granite cutters contention for an eight
hour day; requesting all federated un-
ions. which are connected with the Chi
. cagO building trades council, to in
struct their delegates to so vote that
the local unions of granite cutters shall
not be interfered with in following leg
itimate craft lines in Chicago.
After considerable discussion the
question of granting a federation char
ter to the piano and organ workers Civ
ing them jurisdiction over certain other
factory employees, was recOmmitted.
The convention then went into execu-
tive session under special order. on the
proposition to release the linotype ma
! chine tenders from jurisdiction of the
| typOgrap aphical union.

WERE LITERALLY PAID.
Insurance Examiners Received More
Than the Law Allows.

The recent examination of the
Knights and Ladies of Security by the
state insurance department, has devel-
oped the charge that the department
permitted a violation of the laws of
Kansas in the settlement with the eX-
pert accountant who made the exami-
nation of the books and records Of the
organization.
The accountant was Herbert Patter-
son of Wichita. who was assisted by his
wife. The total amount paid to them
was for services and expenses, about
$3.50 Patterson was paid for ten days
work at $40 per day, a total Of SlOO- Mrs
Patterson was paid $40 per day, or $50.
for five days as assistant, a total of
$3.50 for both of them.
The state law provides that the fee
for the examination Of fraternal insur-
ance societies by the insurance depart
ment shall not exceed $50 and necessary
travelling expenses.
The Pattersons were paid $50 for the
eXamainatiOn and their expenses while
doing the work, total of $3.50.
The law which has been violated is
the one pertaining to insurance soci-
cites passed at the special session of
the legislature last December It is
chapter %, paragraph 8. of the special
session laws.
The first and second sections of the
act define fraternal, beneficiary assO-
citation while section three, at the out
set provides for the admission to do
business in Kansas of societies not or
as follows:
For all the purposes of this act the
superintendent of insurance of this
state may personally or by some per
son to be designated by him, examine
into the condition, affairs, character and
business methods. accounts. books and
investments of any such association at
its home Office which examination shall
be at the expense of the association,
provided:
That such expense shall not exceed
the sum of $50 and necessary travelling
expenses and such examination may be
repeated whenever deemed necessary
by the superintendent of insurance"
The act allows to such examiner nee
essary travelling expenses, but makes
no provision for hotel bills.
The law may have been intended to
protect insurance companies from
heavy assessments for examinations
that the department may require.
In the instance above named the
Knights and Ladies of Security de-
manded an examination, got it, We're
pleased with it and paid the bill with
out protest.

D0NIPHAN WAR MAY END.
Indications That Elliott Libel Suits
Will Be Dropped.

Some of the more hopeful among the
politicians believe that the war in
Doniphan county between Cy Leland,
Judge Stuart and the Popuhst editors
viii soon close, the opinion being that
the pOstponement of the hearing of
some of the libel suits by Judge Stuart
is an indication pointing in that direc-
tion.
Judge Stuart yesterday continued IN
til April, the hearing of the suits
against Frank Elliott charged with
having criminally Hbelled some of the
Republican politicians of Doniphan
county.
The hearing was postponed upon the
application of @. G. Clemens of Topeka
and James Falcon Of fIiawatha, repre-
Senting Elliott.
Some of the friends of the parties in
terested in this suit say it viii be the
policy of the future to continue the
only action which will be taken con-
cerninr them
