DECLARES AGAINST SLAVERY.
American Federation Takes Action
ON This Question Mt It's Con-
ventiOh at Detroit.

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 20.-The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor Tuesday de-
clared against slavery within the juris-
diction of the United States, in the fol-
lowing language:
I'VE reaflirm our previous position on
this question, namely, that there must be
no slavery or serfdom, by ownership or
contract, tolerated under the American
flag. and that we will make anyone whose
action shall in any way initiate against
this principle of human freedom RESPONSE
BILE for such action in every legitimate
manner open to u.s."
The significant feature of the eighth
day of the Federation of Labor con-
vention was stand taken Tuesday
afternoon in opposition to all wars Of
conquest. The delegates, representative
of probably 100000 members of labor
unions, voted unanimously that such
wars, whether waged in Africa, the
Philippines or elsewhere" greatly en-
danger the liberties of the conquered
peoples. The declaration closed with
reiteration of sentiment previously
adopted in another form, viz: "That
we are opposed to any increase of the
standing army of the United States be-
yond $4,000 officers and enlisted men,"
The executive council of the federation
was directed to use every means to
carry out these sentiments.
The committee on President Com
pers' address made a report agreeing
with Mr.. Gompers that trusts are a
natural outcome of commercial compe-
tition, and that the only reasonable way
for organized labor to meet such evils
is in natural way. An amendment to
the report was adopted calling upon
the trades unions and workingmen gem
orally to study the q development of
trusts with a view to Matchmaking
them.

MICHIGAN LAWMAKERS.
The PinErce joint Resolution Dis.
eNsAed in the HOuSc-NO Vote
Yet Taken

Lansing, Mich. Dec. 20.-Tn the
house Tuesday the committee on jul
dietary reported out the joint reso-
luton providing for an amendment to
the state constitution permitting the
passage of an act changing the taxa
ton of railroads from specific, as at
present, to general taxation upon
their value. 1t was reported without
recommendation. The resolution will
require CT votes in the house and 22
in the senate to carry.
The house took UP the Pingree joint
resolution in the afternoon. It's friends
hoped that a vote would be reached
before night, but the discussion in COM
mittee of the whole developed the fact
that they are not united, having differ
ences on several essential points. No
agreement was reached. and the dis
cussion will be resumed to-day. 1t is
regarded as doubtful whether the meas
ure can get the necessary votes in the
house without being materially
changed.
In the senate a resolution to adjourn
to-day until the 9th was tabled by a
vote Of 10 to 10. A resolution express
ing sympathy for the Beers and calling
on the president to act MS arbitrator
between the two warning nations, was
defeated. A copy of the house joint
resolution was introduced and re-
ferred to the committee on judiciary
and in the committee discussion it was
found that ii did not meet the approval
of single member,

couples attended their annual ball which
! was one of the finest social events of
the year.
Anoka, Minn.-At St. Stephens
church, 9 o'clock a. m. Thanksgiving
morning pretty wedding took place
which united Miss Theresa M. Foley
and Peter D. Tigue of Coon Creek.
Miss Gertrude Foley, sister of the bride,
acted as bridesmaid, and Francis Tigue,
brother Of the groom, was best man.
Rev. T. +. Duane ofliciated The bride
looked beautiful; her dress was ashes OF
roses, trimmed with white chiffon over
pink silk, and she carried BRIDES
roses. The bridesmaids dress
was shade darker, trimmed
with white silk. The groom and
best man wore black dress suits and
bouquets of white roses At the home
OF the brides mother and her sister,
Mrs. D. Mcintyre, Jr., wedding din
ncr was served which highly pleased the
cpicurcan tastes of all present. Covers
were laid for forty friends and relatives
OF the married couple. One hundred in
vitations were sent out and many who
could not attend the dinner met the
party at the house OF the groom's par
cnts, MIR. and Mrs. Michael Tiguc, Of
Coon Creek, where bountiful supper
was served to all present and old and
young danced to their hearts content.
Jordan, Minn-The four-year-old
daughter Of Patrick Bolan, OF Faxon
, township, met her deatl, on
Thursday morning OF last week
in sad and singular manner. Mr..
and Mrs. Bolan had started for Blakeley
with load OF corn and when over a
mile away from home were overtaken by
a neighbor, who informed them of the
death OF their child. 1t appears that
the team was standing close to the door
way when the mother got in at one side
OF the wagon and the father at the other,
their backs no doubt towards the house.
An older daughter first discovered her
little sister dead where the wagon had
stood and ran to the nearest neighbor at
once to report what had happened and
overtakc her parents That the wheel
did not pass over the child could be
plainly seen and the supposition is that
it had hold OF the inside of one OF the
rear wheels and as the team started was
carried up, striking its head against the
box or bolster, partly crushing one side
of its face and head. Death must have
been instantaneous or the parents woule
have heard some outcry. The funera
was held on Saturday from the Jessen
land church.
