IMPORTANT MATTERS
To Be Considered by Executive
Council of Labor Federation.

Denver, Colo, July 16.-The executive
committee of the American Federation
of Labor convened in regular quarterly
meeting in this city today. The meet
ing promises to have important re-
suits as action will probably be taken
with reference to the Chicago Building
trades lockout, the St. Louis strike, the
cigar makers trouble in New York and
the Occur dAlene affair. Several Off
Gals of the Miners union in Idaho may
be present to enlighten the committee
upon several points with which it is not
familiar, and it is expected that this
committee will throw the influence of
the federation in favor of the Miners
union.
Among other things a decision is ex-
pected with reference to making an
eight hour day test. The last convention
at Detroit empowered the body to choose
a trade in which the fight should be
made, and the machinists and horse
shoers are both after the selection. If
the former is chosen, it may jeopardize
the International agreement recently
signed by them. In either case the war
will be general.
The subject of raising a large de-
Tense fund to be used in aid of strikers
will be considered.

Cross-ExaminntfOn of james II, Sow
ereiSn Resumed

The cross-examination of James r. Sow
ereign was continued today in the Occur
d Alene investigation before the House COM
miitee on military affairs. Representative
Dick took the witness over his statements
regarding martial law and the course of
the War Department with a view to show
ing that it was the state authorities and
NOT the federal government who declared
and forced martial law. Mr.. Sovereign said
that reading of the official kilograms sat
isfied him that the War Department de-
clared martial law. as the military tele-
grams ante-dated the governors proclama-
ton by one day.
When asked If the military were there for
any other purpose than to maintain peace
and order the witness answered that he
believed this was not their purpose as
their presence tended to terrorize the peo-
pie substituting military dictation for the
usual civil methods. No one ever heard of
martial law before in labor troubles, Mr.
Sovereign declared. As to his approval of
the use of the military at the Chicago
strike he said this was limited to the use
of the military for police purposes, In
maintaining order.
