OPPOSED TO SUBSIDIES.
The Federation Of Labor Voted Against the
Frye Bill.
MARINE INDUSTRY CAN CARE FOR ITSELF
Promoters of the Bill Have Declined
to Give Anv Assistance to the
Eight-Hour Law.

Detroit, Mich, December 1.-THE American
Federation OF Labor this afternoon regis
tered emphatic disapproval of government
subsidies to American ship owners and later
declared almost unanimously against the
principle and practice of subsidy legislation.
incidentally some more or less distinguished
lobbyists, some OF them Federal office hold
ers. who had been lobbying to secure indorse-
ment OF the Frye subsidy bill, suffered de-
cided defeat. The debate lasted three hours
and the speeches were the most vigorous OF
any heard in the convention.
The convention adopted with only three
dissenting votes resolution declaring that
since the natural resources of America offer
laburdantly everything necessary to the build
Ing of ships much more cheaply than Europe,
and concluding,
Resolved. That while We favor an In
creased National merchant marine, We are
opposed to any and all subsidies, believing
the industry amply able to care for itself
Resolved further, That we are decidedly
oprcaad to all legislation of this kind and
Will not give it consideration until the great
ship building firms of the country which
would be its greatest beneHciaries. withdraw
their opposition to our eight-hour workdoy
eeglslation and cease their discrimination
against the employment of union workmen.
| A general declaration against subsidies. and
fecitng their alleged Daueiul influence on
benenciaries, legislatures and taxpayers was
adopted by about the same vote.
! In the course of the debate Delegate An
| drew Furnsets of the Seamens union, denied
that it cost more to operate American ships
than others, or that American seamen
treatment is any better.
! Vice President OConnell related some of
his observations in British shipyards in refu-
tation OF the idea that Americans are the
better paid.
| President Gompers told the convention the
promoters OF the bill had declined to give
| any assistance toward passing an eight hour
lew. Said he: This scheme for footing the
| treasury of our country is puerile in con-
ceptinn and wicked in execution and those
| lobbyists hare not the interests of organized
/ labor at heart"
| Max S. Hays OF Cleveland believes that
! whatever the convention might do III that
! gang of hungry vutures about Washington
! want this, they will get It the same as the
tariff barons got their special protection years
ago.
The convention adopted resolutions SYM
pathizng with the Idaho miners; empowering
! the executive council to again prefer charges
! United States bureau of printing and en-
craving, an alleged foe TO organized labor"
!, and that II again unsuccessful in causing
Iohnson's removal that the matter be pre-
scented to congress
\ The boycott against Swift Co. was de-
cared to apply to that company's establish
ment in cities where 1t employs union labor
MS well as those where 1t does not.
/ President Gompers arrived today and pre-
sided for the first time
Adjourned until Monday.

In private letter seen by The Post cor
respondent from Hon J. W. Bailey that
gentleman expressed sincere regret that
the race for the senate seems to have been
recently pitched on personalities He much
prefers conducting the campaign In con-
fornity TO the dignity OF the high office
to which he aspires. Mr.. Bailey has many
admirers and supporters In Taylor who
know that he is incapable OF prostltuting
the canvass to the level of petty person
alitles and will conine his attacks ON his
opponent TO questions of party faith and
public interests. Bailey Is looked upon
as occupying much the strongest position
on the issues OF the hour, and the attempt
of his opposition TO depart from the dis
cussion OF these questions and the effort
TO divert the public view by resorts 70
personal attack and abuse is looked upon
as conspicuous evidence OF weakness.

THE Harbor bill, returned to the
Senate from the Commerce committee,
bears several material changes affect
ing Milwaukee quite favorably and
Sheboygan and Racine somewhat
otherwise. In the midst of these
changes, the appropriations for Keno
sha have escaped entirely. No reduc-
tion has been made or suggested either
IN the cash appropriation or the run
ming contract. There is little proDa-
bility of any change beyond this.

THE pass is no doubt passing. The
anti-pass bill passed the Senate
yesterday and will no doubt pass the
House forthwith. Senator Woodwork
delivered funeral grafton over the
corpse of the dead pass, which reflects
the feeling of deep regret which
permeates the Senators. Possibly ouI
public officials got some consolation fol
their loss in the bill proposed for tax
