RESOLUTIONS CAUSE
LIVELY DISCUSSION
Strong Opposition to Labor
ing Man In Cabinet.
UNIoNIsM IN PORTO RICO

Federation of Labor Makes an Appro-
priation For Missionary Work on
the IsIand-Oficers Are Intrusted to
Carry Out the Plans.
| LOUISVILLE, Dec. 12.-The American
Federation of Labor today received invi-
tations from Washington, Scranton, Pa,
and Niagara Falls for the holding of
the convention next year.
A telegram was read from the Tile
Layers union of Philadelphia, stating
that that organization could not send a
representative to the convention as re-
quested The telegram suggested that
the dispute between the Tile Layers and
the Mosaic workers be submitted to ar
bitratiOn.
The first matter of Importance taken
up was the third clause of the resolu-
tions with reference to the labor unions
of Porto Rico Upon this matter the
convention adopted declaration recon-
mending to all affiliated unions whose
| trade or calling is pursued in Porto
Rico that they take prompt action for
the purpose of disseminating informa-
ton necessary to give the Porto Ricans
opportunity to become allied with the
national or international trade associa-
tions in America. 1t was also recon-
mended that the American national
unions have their constitutions trans
lated into the Spanish language, and
that the incoming executive council OF
the American Federation of Labor take
action promptly to carry out the plans
and purposes of the American labor
movement in Porto Rico, appropriating
S., 900 to carry this resolution into effect
An animated discussion arose over the
resolution for labor portfolio in the
ported adversely.
Vice President Duncan opposed the
resolutions on the ground that the dis
tinct stipulation for ''bonafide trade
unionist" would prove a source of weak
ness and probably defeat the purpose of
the convention in framing this measure.
Delegate Turnsette of San Francisco
opposed the recommendation that a cab
met officer be taken from any particular
class of society.
Delegate Warner of New York said
his experience had not led him to put
much confidence in the average labor
representative in places of trust and re-
sponsibility in some of she state govern
ments.
II would sooner see Mark Hanna,
said he, representing our interests than
some of the labor representatives who
held positions in some states
The convention took adverse action on
a resolution instructing the executive
council to prepare and endeavor to Sc
cure the passage of a bill in congress
which will restrict immigration.
A bill introduced i'll the house of rep
resentatlves by Congressman William
Aston ChanIer of New York, designed
to correct abuses suffered by searnen in
the merchant marine, was Endorsed by
the convention.
\ resolution favoring the repeal of
the Illinois state convict law was tabled.

SENSATION IN COMMONS
Reid Paints a Gloomy Picture of the
South African Situation.

South African Situation.
LONDON, Dec. 2.-Considerable irri-
tation was aroused during the days de-
bate in the house of commons today on
supply. Sir Robert T. Reid, Liberal
member for Dumfriesburgh, painted a
gloomy picture of the conditions in
South Africa He said that after IA
months of war, costing 5000, 900 per
month, anarchy was prevalent and fam
inc threatened and this may be followed
by native rising. An attempt to place
the colonies under military rule, he said,
would imperil the very existence of the
empire. He thought the time had ar
rived for offering the Beers terms not
inconsistent with British dominion All
ideas of unconditional surrender should
be discarded.
James Bryce (LiberaD followed on
similar lines. He suggested granting
general amnesty to the Beers now in
arms as legitimate combatants Mr..
Broder1ok, secretary for war, holly chal-
lenged Mr.. Bryces statements.
Sir Albert Reid's speech, Mr.. Brod-
erick asserted, was impracticable, I'M
wise and mischievous. The government
was perfectly willing to offer terms for
surrender, so long as it could not be in
terpreted as proof of weakness and
thereby cause prolongation of the war

o'BRIEN, NEW IRISH LEADER
British Press Comments ON His Victory
Over Redmond.


LONDON, Dec lathe newspapers re-
gard yesterdays Nationalist convention
at Dublin as a remarkable victory for
William O'Brien, but comment at
length on turbulent scenes. The Times
thinks Mr.. Redmond must regret the
candor of his opening speech wherein
he warned the audience that if the pro-
ceedings ended in a spectacle of ranoor
and disorder the evil effects would con-
tinue for life time.
The Daily Chronicle, always sympa-
thetic with Ireland and home rule, says:
"How long will the tongues of their
own delegates be the greatest stumbling
block the Irish will have to overcome in
their struggle for home rule? How long
will Nationalist meetings continue to
furnish the detractors of Ireland with
weighty arguments for frustrating rea-
sonable hopes?"
The Daily News says:
"Mr. C'Brien must henceforth be the
real leader of Irish Nationalism and his
formal adoption cannot be long delayed.
If Mr.. Redmond is re elected parliament
tary chairman next session it will sim
ply be as an instrument and puppet of
Mr.. O'Brien. OF his obvious fervent
patriotism, in the Irish sense, there can
be no doubt. He is a generous, single
minded enthusiast. His sagacity is less
