FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Proceedings Of the Convention in
Session at Detroit,

DETROIT, Dec. ia resolution rec
ommending members of labor bodies to
use their election ballots Independently
of the predominating political parties
was adopted to-day by the American
Federation of Labor after first eliminat-
ing a declaration of suspicion against
labor men who might advocate the in
terests of the present political parties
provision for admitting the ques-
ton to referendum vote of all the affili-
ated organizations was also stricken
out. The resolution as amended in
committee and adopted reads as fol-
lows:
whereas, The various reports sub
mitted to our trades union officials are
in effect that so far as our efforts by
petitions and interviews with the Leg
islators of the various States and Fed
eral Government are concerned, little
has been accomplished by the above
mentioned methods; for where a So
called labor law is passed it is either
declared unconstitutional by the court
or allowed to remain dead letter on
the statute books
Resolved, That this Federation rec
ommends that the various central and
labor organizations in the United States
take steps to use their bal
lots, their political power on
evident lines, as enunciated
pressing question before the world CT
labor.
A resolution urging all union labor
men to more clearly define their crafts
men duties was warmly argued upon,
being one of the impOrtant and i'm
pressing questions before the whole
body.
The resolution was referred to the
Committee on Organization, pending re-
ports from the Grievance Committee as
to similar troubles
Action was unanimously taken toward
bridging the chasm between the rival
painters organizations. The Executive
Council was directed to call joint con-
vention of the belligerents within six
months, special committee Of three
to be appointed to- act with the joint
meeting and finally settle the questions
on which they have failed to agree a
new charter to be issued to the new
national, and the charter of the present
federated body to be revoked immedi-
ately after the joint meeting.
Other resolutions were adopted as fol-
Government employees MARINE Bandl
for private purposes: indorsing the
eight-hour demand of the boilermakers;
directing the President of the fedora
ton to lobby against convict

A Crisis in Our Churches.

OAKLAND, Dec. 15.-Deputy City
Attorney Seymour w. Condor made an
address tonight before the Bay Asso-
citation of Congregational Churches that
caused no little friendly discussion. Mr.
Condor made plea for modification
of creeds. and declared that creeds
should be broad enough to take in any
one who wanted to worship God. Said
he: There is a crisis in our churches
and religious thought of this period
The time is coming when we have no
right to take our yardstick and tell our
brother we cannot worship under the
same roof. The tendency is to subdl-
vide, and this should not be. The
church should modify its creed so as 20

who have twenty-three American pr1s-
oners in their possession. The country
is exceedingly rough Our men without
shoes are still persistently pursuing.
The number of Spanish prisoners now
in the hands of the insurgents probably
1000, mostly in the south. I expect
to effect their release in few days.
"Negros reports that Sergeant Alfred
Roeder of the Sixth Infantry, with
twenty soldiers and eighteen native po-
lice attacked 400 insurgents at Mad
rigat, Negros, this morning. No cas-
ualties. Enemy's loss % killed and
many wounded OTIS.
CANNOT FOOL THE NATIVES.
BOSTON, Dec. ia letter received
from one of the officers of the U. S. 5.
Monterey at Manila, dated November
Sd, says:
1.-The Princeton to-day was ordered
to coal, to go to some unknown desu-
nation. Great secrecy is maintained
nowadays-even misleading statements
are published in the papers. They do
not fool the natives, however, who get
information from the main source OF
orders. 1t is said, with reason for alb
solute belief, that spies have been
caught with copies of orders which had
not yet reached the person to whom
they were addressed, and that the de-
tachments of soldiers ordered by tele-
graph to move have been ambushed in
places where the insurgents could only
have reached by being informed of the
intended movements. Secrecy at pres
ent is more of pretense than a
reality"
