wheat Up and Copper Down

New York, Dec. S.-The markets of
the two great commercial ccnters of
the United States We're in remarkable
contrast yesterday.
Pandemonium reigned in the Chica go
grain pits and wheat jumped 3i$ cents,
followed by corn and oats. Bull enthu-
siasm run riot, without the slightest
effort at restraint or guidance by con-
ditions.
In the New York stock market it was
all the other way. A violent decline
wiped out the small gains of the week
and the list closed below last Satur-
days low-water mark. The feature of
the slump was the fall of Amalgamated
Copper to 649s, with Manhattan a close
second, and all the leading railway
shares affected by the depression.

OPENING OF THE CONVENTION
OF THE FEDERATION OF LABOR

Scranton. Pa, Dec Two hundred
and efghty-five delegates. representing
more than 100000 workmen. respond
ed to the roll call at the opening ses-
sion of the twenty-first annual conven-
ton of the American Federation of La
Dor. Thursday. The convention is said
to be the largest congress of workmen
ever held in this country.
The important question decided re-
lated to the contested seat of the dele
gate from the Central Labor Union of
Richmond, Virginia, which body refus-
ed to admit Negro workmen to its or
ganization. The dispute was adjusted
by seating the Central Labor Union
representative and instructing the ex-
ecutive board of the American Fedora
ton of Labor to form a separate cen
tral union for colored men.
When the names of the delegates rep

Of America We're reached in the roll

treasurer of the Brotherhood of Sta
tionary Firemen, objectlng to their be-
ing seated. He maintained that the
mine workers We're not entitled to rep
resentatiOn in the convention because
the per capita tax of $1,000 had not
been paid to the Federation.
President Mitchell of the Mine Work
ers replied that his organization was
not asking for special privileges. Sew
eral thousand Of its members We're on
strike almost continually for the two
years, and he said he had asked the ex-
ecutive board to remit the levy because
the miners had paid an assessment of
5000 for the aid of the machinists.
He said that If the committee decided
that his organization was in arrears.
he would Immediately draw a check
for the amount due. The matter went
no further. and by an almost unani-
nous vote the coal miners representa-
tives We're seated.

year, and gain of 364,410 members.

COLOR QUESTION WILL
LOOM UP IN CONGRESS

Washington, Dec. S.-The Moody
resolution requesting the appointment
of a committee to investigate the re-
cent disfranchisement of the great
mass of negro voters in Louisiana with
a view to determining whether or not
the states representation in Congress
should be cut down accordingly, is
likely to stir up one of the hottest
fights of the session.
This resolution has been referred to
the Rules Committee and that commit
tee is controlled by the majority party,
n favorable report may be expected. If
this resolution should pass and the
committee should report, as it undoubt-
edly will in favor of the decreasing of
Louisianas representation in the
House, fierce party fight would be
precipitated involving the entire ma
jority and minority parts of the House.
Representative Fleming of Georgia
has replied with reioinder, calling for
the appointment of a special committee
to inquire into and determine whether
or not the educational qualification of
Connecticut has not deprived many
male citizens of the right of suffrage.
1t is claimed that the Connecticut laws
even more severe than those of Louis
iana in this respect. Anyhow, lively
slirmish between the two parties is
anticipated.

federal labor unions, 800. There were
four strikes of Il general character dur

That of the River and Dock W ork-

Officers of the International Associa-

Pacific coast citizens in submitting to

The beauty of procrastination and
the advantage of the sluggard are not
ethical phrases, but they appear as a
sort of a subtitle to one comic episode
in a terrible tragedy. When the
steamer Islander was going down in
Alaskan waters last summer, hurried
warning was sent to the staterooms.
One man, hal2-awakened, laughed at
what he thought a false alarm, and
turned over for another nap. An in
atant later occurred the explosion,
which hurled him into the air upon
his mattress, which came down right
side up upon the water. The disaster
occurred near shore, the mattress was
eventually hooked in, and the passen-
ger was rescued unhurt. This tale
may be believed only by those who
have escaped marvelously the dangers
of tornado, but 1t is absolutely true.
That the Russian government is pro-
viding for eventualities in regard to
the building of railway carriages for
the Manchurian railway is shown by
the notification as to the manufacture
of twenty carriages for which an. order
has been given. The carriages will
differ from the present type in that
the sides of the carriages will consist
of two plates with a thick layer of
compressed cork between the inner
and outer plates. the latter being ga
inch thick. The Russian government
evidently fear some sniping along the
