LABOR LEADERS
IN COUNCIL.
The Executive Body of the Fedora
tioa of Labor
Convenes in Session at the National
Capital.
The Report of the Secretary Shows
Marvellous Increase in the
Membership for the Past Year.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The Exec
utive Council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor met here to-day. The
Secretary's report shows a marvellous
increase in the number of organizations
formed and affiliated. The income of
the organization more than doubled
that of the year 1898.
The miners trouble in the Occur
d'Alenes of Idaho was taken up and
the following preambles and resolu-
tions were adopted:
Whereas, The struggle of the miners
of Idaho in the Occur dAlene district
is one that should have the support and
sympathy of all organized labor; and,
Whereas, The arrest and imprison-
ment of said miners for alleged viola
ton of law has been unparalleled for
the brutality exhibited toward the men
while confined in the bull pen, where,
because of the unnecessary depivation
some have died and the health.of others
is impaired; therefore be it,
Resolved, That the Executive Council
of the American Federation of Labor
does hereby appropriate the sum of
$500 to assist in their legal defense,
and most earnestly urge all local unions
who have not already made donations
who are directly or indirectly affiliated
with the American Federation of Labor
to respond as literally as possible to
the appeal of the miners for funds for
proper legal defense; and, be it further
Resolved, That the Executive Counc
of the American Federation of Labor
use all honorable means to assist the
miners in securing an early adjudica-
tion of the cases pending.
1t was decided that a bill drafted tH
be presented to Congress limiting the
issuance of injunctions by courts. so
that they shall not lie against working
people either singly or in combination
quitting employment, or against the
moral persuasion of workers consider
ing the question of quitting such en-
ployment.
It 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-fifth Con
gresS.

BOLD CASE OF KIDNAPPING
LITTLE CHILD IS ABDUCTED IN
NEW YORK.
Supposed to Have Been Taken By a
Nurse Girl-Was a Cleverly Man
aged Plot.

New York, May 22.-What appeared
TO be bold case of the KIDNAPPING Of
child was reported to the police to-
day, and q score of detectives were at
once sent out in an endeavor to arrest
the offenders.
The missing child is Marion the IS
months'-ol daughter of Arthur Clark,
an employee of publishing firm. She
was taken, the police say, by a nurse
named Carrie Jones, who was hired last
week by the Ciarks through an aiver-
tisement. The whole thing seems to
have been a cleverly laid plot. The
child was taken out yesterday after
noon by the nurse. and the empty baby
carriage was found by the police in
Central park. Soon afterward Mrs.
Clark received this letter:
Mrs. Clark-Do not look for your
nurse Pnd baby. They are safe in our
possession, where they will remain for
the present. If the matter is kept out
of the hands of the police and newspa-
pers, you will get your baby back safe
and sound. If, instead, YOU make
big time about it and publish it all
over, we will see to il that YOU never
see her alive again. We are driven to
this by the fact that we cannot get
work, and one of us has a child dying
through want of proper treatment and
in good hands. The nurse girl is still
with her. If everything is quiet you
will hear from us Monday or Tuesday.
THREE
There is evidence to show that the
nurse girl wrote this letter Mrs. CLAIR,
is in a serious condition, and the sus-
penSe may cause her death.

Salt Lake Boy Who Is Fighting at

Harry Emise, a Salt Lake boy now at
Manila with the Fourth cavalry, writes
to his brother Charles, under date of
April Is:
The long expected troops have ar
rived and we are moving forward in
good shape. l am writing this in my
dog tent behind the trenches, and just
now our pickets, who are about 200
yards in advance, are firing a shot or
two a minute, and you will hardly real
iZe that il causes so little interest
among our men that no one quits his
occupation to see what it is. There is
a game of cards on each side of me,
and it goes on just the same.
This end of the line is very quiet to-
day and we expect to get a much
needed rest. Only three out of the six
cavalry troops are mounted, and c
troop is not among them.
we are daily expecting big fight.
as we have the insurgents in tight
hole, and yesterday strategic move
was started that we hope will end the
trouble. The centre of the line will
split and march no the Pasig river.
They are, in fact doing this now, and
you can hear the boom of the rapid-fire
guns very distinctly, and from reports
that are coming our men are lighting
every foot of the way.
Il expect to get out by the last of
May, and have about made up my mind
to stay here and try my luck, as |
think there is a good opening for a
young man. although he should have
some capital"

AN UNREASONABLE COMPLAINT
Why R. G. W. Crews Are Run
Through to Ogden.

Concerning the matter mentioned in
these columns yesterday as to the Rio
Grande Western crews being compelled
to pass through Salt Lake without be-
ing cut out here, Superintendent Welby
stated yesterday that the complaint
was greatly exaggerated. He explained
the unrea condolences of the company
cutting out live engine here and put
ting on fresh one and new crew for
the run of thirty-seven miles between
here and Ogden, and stated that the
company was perfectly willing that the
crews should be cut out here If they
would make the run to Ogden on mile
age. No trouble is anticipated with The
employees, as the relations existing be-
tween them and the company are most
cordial, except for this.
MIR. Welby secuted the idea that the
company had an AK to grind in the
matter. Not an officer of the company
has a dollar in the houses at Helper,"
he said, when questioned as 10 that
part of the story, and the COMPANY
has spent 500, coo in making comfort
able quarters there for its employees"
He explained that the houses at Helper
had been built in answer to petitions
from the employees. and that six more
are now in course of construction. Gar
dens are laid out. and the EMPLOYEES
have a library, pool room, smoking
room and card room. The houses are
well built, and are supplied with water
and lighted by electricity, and the NOM
inal sum of 50 a month is charged for
a five or siX-room house.
