QUEEN FORGIVES
 PRINCE HENRY
THE LATTER HAS RETURNED TO THE PALACE AND THE TWO ARE GRADUALLY ASSUMING NORMAL RELATIONS.

Amsterdam, December 5.-Semi- official intimations have been circulated to the effect that Queen Wilhelmina has for given her husband, Prince Henry Of the Netherlands, the suggestion being that the public ought to follow suit.
 Since Prince Henry returned to the pal ace, the Queen and he have been dining together and gradually resuming normal relations. Yesterday they walked to- gether, and afterward drove in the castle park. The relations between Prince Henry and the members of the court are. how ever. strained. The former cordiality has been replaced by an attitude or rigid pol1teness on the part of the Prince con- sort and apparently the gentlemen of the court are equally indisposed to gloss things over.

COLOR LINE IS NOT DRAWN

Scranton, Pa. December 1.-Two hum dred and eighty-five delegates represent ing more than million and half work men, responded to the roll call at the opening session of the Twenty-first an- nual convention of the American Confed- eration of Labor, which was called to order by President Gompers this morn ing.
 The convention Is said to be the largest congress of workmen ever held in this country.
 When the names of the delegates rep resenting the United Mine Workers of America were reachd in the roll call, stir was caused by c. L. Sharp, of Chi cago, international secretary treasurer of the Brotherhood of Stationary Bremen, objecting to their being seated. He main tained that the mine workers were not entitled to representation in the conven tion because the per capita tax of S4,0O0 had not been paid to the federation. President Mitchell of the Mine Workers, replied that his organization was not asking for special privileges. Several thousand of its members were on strike almost continuously for the past two years and he said he had asked the ex- ecutive board to remit the levy because the miners had paid an assessment of $5, 900 for the aid of the machinists. He said if the convention decided that his organization was in arrears he would immediately draw check for the amount due. By an almost unanimous vote the coal miners representatives were seated.

Color Line Not Drawn.

The negro question came before the convention in the shape of a report from the committee on credentials. William F. Seal was elected by the Central Labor Union of Richmond to represent it at the convention. It appears that the Richmond central body refused to admit to mem bership negro workmen belonging to col ored tobacco workers unions in Rich mond. Henry Fischer, president of the National Tobacco Workers Union. was instructed by two local colorcu unions of Richmond to oppose the seating of Seal on the ground the organization he repre- sented drew the color line The commit tee recommended that Seal be seated, and also recommended that the executive board of the American Federation of La bor be instructed to form a negro Gen. tral Union in Richmond. The recommen- dations were accepted by the convention.
 The reading of the annual report of President Gompers consumed three hours. Secretary Morrison's report and that of Treasurer John B. Lennon were also read. They were referred to committees and at p. m. the convention adjourned until o'clock tomorrow.
