ROBERTS FARM BURNING.
Orders Seem 10 Be Strictly in Accordance With
Rules OF War.

London, Dec. 12.-Forty-one procla-
nations of Lord Roberts have been
published. They have been mostly
summarized previously in the newspa-
pers The last one, dated Nov. Is, says:
LAS there appears to be some misun-
derstanding as regards the burning of
farms, the commander in-chief wishes
the following to be the lines upon
which general officers commanding are
to act:
mo farm is to be burned except fo.
an act of treachery, or when our troops
are fired on from the premises, or as
punishment for the breaking of the
telegraph or railway, or when used as
bases of operations for raids, and Their
only with the direct consent of the
general commanding. The mere fact
that a bursher is absent on comman-
do is of no account to be used as q
reason for burning his house. All cat
tie. wagons and food stuffs are to be
removed from all farms. If that is i'm
possible they are to be destroyed.

ing to war. We are not looking for
trouble"

Tavlor submitted a draft of the contract
the PLAYERS wanted put in vogue. The

TIE LABOR FEDERATION
Wants Porto Ricans to Join Unions cabinet
officer Resolution Killed.

Louisville, KY, Dec. 12-At today S
session of the American Federation of
Labor convention invitations from
Washington, Scranton, and Niagara
Falls for the convention next year were
read. No action was taken. The first
matter Of Importance taken up was the
third clause of the resolutions with
reference to the labor unions of Porto
Rico, The convention adopted a
declaration recommending to all affilia-
ton associations whose trade or call
ing is pursued in Porto Rico, that they
take prompt action for the purpose OF
disseminating information in Porto
Rico necessary to give the Porto Ri
cans opportunity to become allied with
national or international trade asso-
Citations in America.
The convention concurred in resOlu-
tions previously presented declaring a
unalterable opposition to the anti
scalping bill now before the committee
on foreign and interstate commerce in
both Houses of Congress.
An animated discussion arose over a
resolution for a labor portfolio in the
cabinet upon which the committee re
ported adversely. The original reso-
luton provided that the proposed cabi-
net officer should be bona fide trades
unionist. The adverse report of the
committee was concurred in by vote
of IS to A., thus killing the resolution.
A bill introduced in the House of
Representatives to correct alleged
abuses of seanen in the merchant ma
fine, was endorsed by the convention.
Resolutions advocating n reduction
Of the tax on beer We're non-corcurred
in.

atoms delegate to the Canadian labor
congress at Montreal. read his report

body.
Today's session apparently disclosed
the fact that there will be little or no
opposition to the reelection of Sam
ucl Compers as president, Two pro-
positions. the votes of which may be
regarded as tests. resulted in decisive
triumphs for the ideas advocated by
Mr.. Gompers.
Max Hayes Of Cleveland. led the OPP
position in both instances. but in the
battle did not at any time become per-
sonal or bitter. one of the resolutions
was to limit the term of the Fedora
tons presidents in future to two years
and the other provided for the cleo
ton of the officers of the body by the
initiative and referendum instead of a
vote in mass convention on the last day
of the annual convention, as prevails
at present. Both We're defeated.
The contest for next years conven-
ton appears TO lie between Milwaukee
and Scranton, Pa.
