Clash Between Trade Unionists
and Socialists Averted.

Scranton, Dec. 12.-Reports from COM
nittees was the order of business at
this mornings session of the American
Federation of Labor.
David Black of Cincinnati. presented
the report of the committee towhich the
presidents report had been referred
Immediately after roll call and the
reading of it consumed time
The report of the committee endorsed
nearly all of President GOmper'S recon-
mendations.
In regard to the general defense fund,
the committee. suggested that such n
fund should be collected by local and
national unions rather than by the fed
Grafton, as suggested by Mr.. Gompers.
There was a general debate on various
subjects touched upon by the commit
tee report
D. A. Hayes, national president of the
Glass Bottle Blowers and Max Hayes,
of the Cleveland Central Labor Union
made vigorous speeches for the enforce
ment of laws prohibiting child labor
mentioned in the report.
The report of the committee was
adopted.
The looked for conflict between the
trade unionists and the socialists in the
convention was almost precipitated by
a motion to incorporate in the minutes
a list of decisions handed down by the
federal and state supreme courts
against organized labor, which was read
by Max Hayes in his speech. President
Gompers in a brief speech said that il
the list was Incorporated in the min
utes there should also be list of the
victories of the unions printed along
with 1t. He vigorously denounced the
attempt to stamp trade unionism a
failure. as an outrage
w. B. Wilson, national secretary
treasurer of the miners, spoke in the
same vein. but no reply was made and
the motion was laid aside.
Among the resolutions adopted were
these:
That unions in the several states urge
the passage of laws to compel con-
structors of machinery to cover all dan
gerous parts in such a way as to protect
employees working with and around ma
chinery and calling on government Of
ficials to enforce the eight hour law on
government work in private ship yards.
At noon the convention took recess
until 2 o'clock.

FOR QUICKER MAILS.
Route Service Between England and
Ireland Improves

New York, Dec. 12.-Another import
ant step has been taken in developing
the new route to Ireland authorized by
parliament, which may at no distant
date provide the quickest way for mails
and passengers between London and
New York, says a London dispatch to
e Tribune. The contract for the erec-
ton of a pier a thousand feet long at
Rosslare near Wexford, has been closed.
This pier is portion of the scheme in
which the Great Western railway of
England and the Great Southern of
Ireland are concerned. A fast line of
steamers is to run between Fishguard,
on the Welsh coast, and Rosslare, and
the idea is seriously entertained in GER
tain quarters that this is to be the
American mail route of the future.

JEFFRlES ORANGES His MIND.
The Fighter Resumes His Training
WORK at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO Nov. 1s.-Jeffriss
seems to he as changeable as a woman in
his fancies. Yesterday he declared he
would slow up. on all exercise. and would
not put on the gloves again until the night
of thu fight. Today he amazed his od-
mirers by donning the gloves and going
through full course including sparrfng.
Jeffries also changed his mind about
resting He VIII work as usual, and will
not close his training until Thursday
night He declares he wants to be in the
best shape possible This morning, after
a run to the Piedmont Baths and a plunge
in the salt water there, Jeffries returned
to his training headquarters at Reliance
Gymnasium. and by 10 o'clock had started
in with his regular light work. Some one
remarked:
Jeff does not look so well this morn
ing" Jeffries overheard 1t and replied:
''Just the same, he feels like a thor
oroughbred young Tacehorse."
There was an unusually big delegation
during the day to visit the champion.
There were people from Chicago. Denver,
Kansas City, and from San Pedro ana
other California cities. The visitors must
have numbered something like 200 per-
sons When asked how long thought
the fight would last, Jehries said:
Now, that is hard one, but il ii isn't
settled in the first two or three rounds, l
] will win as soon l can without ex-
posing myself II Ruhlin viii come right
in we ought to have it over very speed

here, but he has improved as well.
"Will you go out on the road any after
the fight, if you VIM?
Il won't go If / can get nybody to fight
me-" was the laconic reply. Before +
go on the stage again. want to meet all
the heavy-weights of any consequence and
either beat them or get licked.
Gus Rubin put in day at light exer-
cises. He is taking unusual care of his
hands, as two weeks ago he snrained the
knuckle of the left foretnger and follow
same hand. so he could scarcely get his
glove on. These injuries made him very
cautious and he has since taken no
chances of accidents. This morning he
took a run and then followed it with light
exercise
The only feature OF Ruhlins condition
that gives any cause for apprehension is
his heavy breathing through the nose. He
explains this by the fact that he is trou-
bled slightly with catarrh, which. coupled
with repeated smaShes received on the
nose, ha:s SO choked the pass>gC~s to give
one tn. impression. from his manner of
breathing. that his wind is in poor shape.
But it is only necessary to see him run
away from very active man to show
that his wind is all right
All arrangements have been made for
taking pictures of the fight but the ma
chino has been so arranged that the heat
will not be excessive In the ring. Holes
have been cut in the shades of electric
lights. by which much of the heat that
worried Jeffries in his last fight with
Sharkey Will be allowed to ascend.
