OF LABOR
Discusses Relations With the
knights of LabOr-An Executive
Session.

Discusses Relations with the
knights of LabOr-An Executive
Session.
DETROIT, Mich, December 1S.-The
various grievance of bodies connected
with the American Federation Of Labor
were aired in executive session to-day.
Before going into secret session I'M
der to-day's special order, the owen
ton listened to an extended debate on
the long mooted question of permit
ting membership in the Federation to
persons affiliated with the Knights of
Labor. The matter came up through
a report Of the committee on laws
recommending reference to the exc
cutive council of a resolution offered
by the National Union of Brewery
Workmen, declaring that, since the
Federation had prohibited the brewery
locals from holding membership in the
Knights of Labor, and since other
trades unions locals affiliated with the
Federation are still amalgamated with
the Knights Of Labor; Resolved,
That the convention pass a law ac-
cording to which no member of any
trades union affiliated with the Ameri
can federation of law directly or in
directly shall be allowed to hold mem
bership in the knights of Labor"
Some of the New York delegates
opposed drastic action on account of
the harmonious relations between the
local unions of both classes, especially
in New York City. A few others
wanted such relations left undisturbed,
but most of those who spoke opposed
the resolution. President Mahon, of the
street railway employees, argued
that the brewery men asked
only what was fair in APP
plying such prohibition to other
trades as well is their own. Mahon
asserted that the knights Of Labor in
the past year had brought no benefit
to the street railway mems organiza-
tons and that such relations had been
only harmful to them.
Delegate E. A. Agard, OF the glass
bottle blowers, who, until recently,
were allied with the knights OF Labor,
favored the committee on laws re-
port and continuance of inter-rela-
tionship to some extent by the two
orders.
Before taking q vote at 1915 the
convention went into executive session
and began consideration of grievances.

NEW YORK, December 1&-The suspen-
sion of the firm of Henry Allen & Co.,
bankers and brokers, has been announced

made necessary by recent declines. The
house has been known as a trader on rath-
.er an extensive scale.

LONDON, December 1S.-Gen. Lord
Roberts and his staff will sail for South
Africa on the Dunotbar Castle Satur-
day.
"Bobs" as Lord Roberts Of Kanda-
har is Familiarity known, is o name to
conjure with in Great Britain and that
Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener are
considered the right men to retrieve
the disastrous situation in South Africa
is amply evidenced by the more CHEEKY
tone OF all the war discussion this
morning.
In spite of the attempts OF the III
thorities to gloss over the suppression
Of Gen. Butler. the fact remains that
new appointments cannot be regarded
otherwise than as a penalty for his
failure. A semi-oficlal communication
says: 1.-THE disposition to. regard the
change as a reflection on Gen. Butler
is entirely erroneous. AS the forces
engaged in South Africa increase Off
CSlS VI higher 1dhh hiVs hd'uidASb up
pointed to the supreme command" The
communication then instances the Sue
cessive steps from Gen. Symons to
Generals White and Butler and now to
Gen. Roberts.
'1n spite of the plausability OF the
argument everyone recognizes that II
is not the whole truth. The friends OF
Gen. Butler see in the neadlong plunge
Of the cabinet a suspicious panic and
they picture hasty conelaves and the
ministers with blanched faces, teie-
graphing to Roberts and Kitchener to
come and save the empire.
While perhaps, these are oyerdrawn
there Is no denying that the prodi-
GERS of higher rank are naturally, APP
considers necessary to crush the two
little republics show that even sedate
Lord Salisbury sees the extreme gray.
ity of the present aspect OF affairs
Probably the ministers remembered
the peril which the public e TO have
forgotten OF a possible rising OF the
Kaffirs. Indeed unpleasant rumors are
already current II this direction. which
would be indefinitely serious than
a rebellion of the Dutch.
With reference TO rumors circulated
to-day on the Stock Exchange, the
Associated Press has been officially In
formed that the Queen is in xcellent
health, and that there is no indication
OF the surrender of Kimberley.
There has been a notable rush OF
volunteers all day to offer their SER
vices for the war In South Africa. Sew
eral Colonies have placed their regi-
ments at the disposal Of the war Office.
About 300 artillery volunteers offred
their services at Edinburgh before
noon.
A brief, independent account OF the
Colenso fight adds nothing TO the OFF,
clal account, except that the fighting
lasted eight hours. and that the British
retirement was completed in good or
der.

the Speaker. "The clerk will call the
roll"

interest. There was no demonstrations
when the Democrats who broke away
from the majority of their party voted
in the affirmative. The clerk called
the names of the Democrats who de-
clined to respond, twice on each roll
call. Every Republican voted for the
bill.
When the Speaker announced the
passage of the bill by a vote of 100 to
$50 the Republicans broke into cheers.
The Speaker then sprung a big sur
prise on the House by announcing the
committees. When the committee on
ways and means was read, Mr.. Bailey,
democrat, Texas,) asked whether the
name of Mr.. Wheeler, of Alabama, was
included in the list.
ut is not" replied the Speaker.
There vas no demonstration during
or at the conclusion of the reading of
the list of committees.
