His Conclusions will Live in History Long After the Others Are
Forgotten, Says Sherman-WiII Be
No Further Action.

w ASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE secre-
w tary Of the navy has before him
for review the report Of the court
Of inquiry in the schIey case. He is
naturally taking time to do this care
fully, so that immediate action is not
expected. Meanwhile the court is
technically in session, and will remain
so until dissolved by order of Secretary
Long, who convened it. The practice
in such cases is laid down specifically
in naval regulation number 1 ,739 re-
specting courts Of inquiry. The ques-
ton has been raised since the appear
ance of two reports in print, how far
Admiral Dewey, the president Of the
court, subscribed to the opinion ex-
pressed in the first report and in the
findings by appending his signature.
that signature being required of him
apparently by the regulation above al
luded to, regardless of his individual
opinion. In response to inquiry on this
point, the judge advocate general of
the navy says:
According to naval practice. Admit
raj Dewey, By affixing his signature to
the report of the court Of inquiry in
the case Of Rear Admiral Schley. ex-
presses full concurrence in all the
findings of fact, and in all the opinions
reached by the court except those with
respect to which he has in terms sig
nified dissent in his minority opinion.
Captain Parker Pleased.
New York, Dec 14-Captain Parker
Of Admiral Schley's counsel was told
early this morning Of the purport of
the two Schley reports. He said:
Admiral Dewey, better than any one
else in the world, was qualified to Judge
this case. He is the one man living, be-
side Admiral Schley, who conducted a
campaign and fought a battle with
modern ships. under modern conditions.
He probably found there was differ
ence between theory and practice, and
judged Schley in the light of his own
experience. The two other members of
the court were highminded men of the
highest character, and men who would
not misjudge knowingly or willingly.
They never had the experience the adj
miral had had, and probably did not see
things in the same light as he did. We
shall leave the matter to the judgment
Of the people Of the country, confident
that in the just popular mind, the
findings Of Admiral Dewey viii be sus-
tanned"
Captain Parker seemed almost as
much pleased that Admiral Dewey had
sustained Rear Admiral Schley as If
the court had been unanimous in the
verdict that he Dewey rendered.
Opinion in the senate is divided as
to the probability Of a congressional
investigation Of the Schley controversy,
but on the whole is against the proba-
bility Of such course. A majority Of
the Republican senators appear 20 be
adverse to the reopening Of the ques-
ton, and those holding this view in
cludes friends Of Admiral Schley.
Hoar Is With Dewey.

content to abide by the opinion of Adj
miral Dewey because Of his superior
facilities for reaching a correct con-

nerican Federation Of Labor Completes Its WO-New Orleans
Is Chosen as the Place for the Next
Convention

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE Ameri-
can Federation of Labor in the last
minutes of this afternoons session put
itself on record on two questions which
have been agitating the delegates since
the convention convened ten days ago,
namely: Trade autonomy and social
ism. The greatest of the two. in the
minds of most of the delegates, was
that Of autonomy In brief, the spe-
cial committee on autonomy recon-
mended that where there are only a
few craftsmen in a large Industrial
concern the best interests Of all would
be conserved by the few joining the
paramount organization in such estab-
lishment and PRONUNCIATION of sub
divided crafts into district and national
trade councils, where all disputes
should be settled. The recommended
tons Of the committee, to the surprise
Of many, were unanimously adopted
without a single remark being made by
any one. The recommendations are
viewed differently by the delegates. The
miners, who have favored industrial
autonomy, and who have put that prin-
ciple into effect in the mines. look upon
1t as a victory, while the brewery
workmen, pressmen and longshoremen
saw some concessions in the report.
There are not a few who were dis
pleased, and declared that the whole
report was no more than a ''straddle, 90
and that the question will come up
again. The recommendations Of the
committees report are as follows:
Result of Organization.
''First-As the magnificent growth OF
the American Federation of Labor is
conceded by all students of economic
thought to be the result of organization
in trade lines, and believing it neither
necessary or expedient TO make any
radical departure from this funda-
mental principle, we declare that as d
general proposition the interests of the
workers will be best conserved by adj
herring as closely to that doctrine as
the recent great changes in methods of
production and employment make
practicable. However, owing to the
isolation of some few industries from
thickly populated centers, where the
overwhelming number follow one
branch there; owing to the fact that in
some industries comparatively few
workers are engaged, overwhelming
separate organizations claim jurisdic-
ton, we believe that jurisdiction in
such industries by the paramount or
ganization would yield the best results
to the workers therein. Nothing con-
tanned in this declaration is construed
or shall be construed to mean a re-
versai Of any decision rendered by for
mer executive councils or previous con-
ventions on questions Of Jurisdiction.
Close Alliance Suggested.
"Second-We hold that the interests
Of the home trade movement be pro-
NOTED by closely allying the subdivided
craft, giving consideration TO amaIga-
nation and to the organization of
councils to which should be referred
questions in dispute, and which should

Labor, being a voluntary association,
cannot direct and should not adopt
methods antagonistic to or in conflict
with established trade union laws, and
in order to carry the above recommen-
datiOns into effect, and in full recOgnl-
ton of its logical position, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor pledges its
Offices to aid and assist in the adjust
ment Of such Chaft encrOachments as
dispUtants may be willing TO submit to
its arbitrament."
The failure Of the socialist delegates
to attack the substitute resolution was
a. surprise OF the day. The socialists,
in declining to take up the discussion.
explained that the convention bod so
much business to dispose Of in the lin
tied time at its disposal that they
would not seize the opportunity at this
time to show that socialism could cure
the ills Of humanity. The substitute
was adopted by large majority. 1t 3

Resolutions on Socialism.
The committee on resolutions having
charge of the twelve resolutions on
socialism made its report as follows;
The aims, desires and aspirations OF

suit of the accomplishment of which

given our movement by those reform
forces which stand for the bzsterment
of mankind. In this position We are IN
close relationship to the greater body

made lighter. but that each worker has
an undeniable right to enjoy the full
