FEDERATION OF LABOR.
A Proposition to Boycott Machin,
 Made Cigars Defeated.


 SCRANTON, Dec. 1O.--The conven. tion of the American Federation of La bor was in session only two hours yes terday, adjournment being taken in or. der to enable the several committees tc consider the large number of resolu- tfons still ill their hands.
 There was lively discussion on the floor of the convention over the ques- tion of boycotting machine made ci- gars. It is the same question that the Cigar Makers International union has brought up at previous conventions of the federation, and the union has a1- ways been defeated in it's fight against the introduction of machinery in the cigar trade. At the present time not ] machine made cigar in the United States, it is said, bears the label of the Cigar Makers International union. The matter came up in the form of a reSo- lution presented by President Com pers, John q Deernel and Thomas +. Tracey of the Cigar Makers union and was referred to the committee on la- bels. It denounced a certain company for making cigars by child labor and machinery and called upon the fedora ton to assist in unionizing the various plants of the company.
 It was pointed out to the cigar mak- CTS that the best thing to do was to organize the operators of the machines and adopt q wage scale, just as the typographical and other unions have done when machinery was introduced in their trades. The discussion prom ised to be very lengthy, but the nov ing of the previous question quickly ended the debate, and the resolution, with the word machinery" stricken out, was adopted as recommended.
