SONS Or LABOR
THANK PRBSIDRNl'
Pleased With His Position on
Exclusion Act
Resolutions Of Organization DCnOunce
the Chinese Minister for Al
legged Remarks

Scranton, Pa, Dec. THE conven-
tion of the American Federation OF
Labor disposed OF considerable routine
business yesterday. The afternoon
meeting was adjourned an hour earlier
SO that the committees which were an
nounced by President Gompers could
organize and take up the work that
has been laid out for them. There was
full attendance of delegates, and
business was transacted without a
hitch or much discussion except in the
matter Of a contested seat of a St.
Louis delegate.
The overshadowing feature Of the
day was the able address of Edward
f. McSweeney. deputy commissioner Of
immigration. He spoke for more than
an hour, and was generously applaud
ed for the great amount Of information
that he gave the delegates. During the
course of the two sessions SS resolu-
tiOns were presented and referred to
committees. They cover nearly every
variety OF subjects that affect work
men. One of them contained a de-
nunciation of Wu Ting Fang, the Chi
nese/ minister, for an alleged deroga-
tory remark against the American peo-
pie, and another conveyed the Sin
cere and hearty thanks" of the Fed
Grafton of Labor to President Roose-
welt for the position he took in his
message to congress on the question of
Chinese exclusion.
Among the more important resolu-
tions presented were these: Asking
worl1men to unite for Independent po-
litical action in a party having for its
avowed object the overthrow Of the
capitalistic system of production and
distribution, and the establishment Of
the cooperative commonwealth.
Asking congress to amend the Geary
act so as to exclude Chinese. Japanese,
Malays and all people of Asiatic ex-
traction, and to prevent the use of the
American Pacific island possessions to
be used as a bridge over which ex-
cluded races may pass to the United
States.
Denouncing anti-scalping legislation.
because the ticket brokerage business
is legitimate, a convenience to the pub
lie and a means of cheapening railway
travel.
Asking congress for the right of suf-
frage for the citizens of the District of
Columbia.
Providing for a general defense
fund, by levying a tax of two cents per
month on7every man in the American
Federation of Labor
Amending the alien contract labor
law so as to include musicians.
A batch of resolutions dealing with
trade jurisdiction and trade autonomy
were introduced at the afternoon ses-
sion. 1t is not unlikely that a bitter
contest will be waged by the delegates
when the jurisdiction and autonomy
questions come before the convention.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
The Time to Shop

From the Boston Advertiser.
About this time Of the year the wise
shopper makes up her Christmas list
and makes the bulk. If she does not
make all, OF her purchases for Christ
mas gifts. 1t is because SHE is wise
THAT she does so. In the stores she finds
the pick of holiday novelties she also
finds it easy to get attention She is
not pushed and hauled in a crowd OF
hundreds of eager eleventh-hour shop
pers, and she escapes the physical ex-
haustion that must always follow such
football tactics She is sure of finding
what she wants. of having it altered ol
engraved or retouched, If necessary
and of having Il delivered al
lonce She is sure that It viii

that she will not be worried by
any Of the many vexations that over
take the unfortunate who postpone,

CLERICAL ovERLAPpING

At a meeting of the Evangelical AL
lance held recently in Philadelphia
one Of the most important topics of
the Christian church came under dis
cussion. Rev DIR. NJ e. Webb read
paper on the Overlooking and Over
tapping in the Prosecution of Home
Mission Work. In part he said:
In our large cities, in the favorite
residential sections. the churches are
multiplied beyond the need of the
population, while in the downtown
districts there is a sad lack OF
religious provisions. In many
Western towns you will find ten
churches in population of 1900. De-
nomlnational zeal and the prophecies
OF success that have attended the
starting OF new towns have had much
to do with this condition of things.
There can be no doubt that overlap
ping is a serious evil What sugges-
lions can be made toward lessening
the evil of the present system? There
must be. first of all, a recognition Of
the parity Of all the evangelical
churches. There must be frequent
conferences between the secretaries
who control the work and the workers
on the field. When we sent the Gospel
to Porto Rico three years ago, the
Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists,
and Congregationalists divided the
territory and agreed not to trench on
each others ground. Finally, there
must be some board of arbitration to
which disputed questions in connec-
tion with the founding of new
churches can be referred.
Rev. S. W. Dana also remarked in
the course Of comment on the above,
We must distinguish between the
need OF the Gospel and the need of our
denomination" Tt is good to know
that one of the great needs of the
church is recognized by clergymen
and certainly it is apparent to the
laity The sphere Of clergyman's
e influence is often limited by the fact
that in a narrow field there are many
ministers duplicating his work, or the
work that he might do. We all know
that whenever there is a possibility o
b building new church in a communit!
regardless of whether or not it il
needed. the people are called upon Z,
subscribe the necessary sum. W.

The American Spirit

From the Ba.timore American (Rep)
One Of the delegates of the Argentine
Republic to the Pan-American Confer
ence at the City of Mexico said the
other day: Il have had the pleasure
of living in the United States, and no
body has a greater admiration than /,
nor better feeling and more grateful
regard for the manly virtues of the
American nation; for the sense Of JUS
tice of the American statesmen; for
the high ideals of the American peo-
pie, or for the sincerity of its friend
ship toward us sister nations of Cen
tral and South America" He then
went on to commend Secretary Hays
recent speech at the banquet in New
York.
At an important meeting in London

and that they mean to keep their
promises; and dhe Porto Ricans are

A citizen had made contract with
man for the cultivation OF ten acre
niece OF land in the lower valley. All
the preliminary arrangements ihad been
made, The party was about to begin
the cultivation of the tract. fe n days
thereafter the man who was to cultivate
the ten acre tract came to the citizen
and said be would like to throw up the
contract. Pressed for reason Of his
sudden change, he stated that man
who owned piece OF ground across the
road from the one that was to be cult
waited, had told him thatIthe land would
not raise anything. The backcapper,
not Notwithstanding the fact that his Long
tongue had broken the contract. asks for
his land the email sum OF one hundred
dollars an acre, yet it was impossible to
make the man who had made the CON
tract believe, that the man who owned
the land across the road had no better
land than what he had proposed to cul-
tiyate, 1t is just such "knocking" and
backcapping that ruins any section of
country. Farmers are committed to this
crime against their own country, more
generally than people on the outside.
There should be some remedy for such
white liver ed individuals. More sales OF
land have been ruined in that way IN
this valley than from any other cause.
Sometimes ws think that little punish
ment from law and order committee
would have salutary effect on these
abnormally tongued individuals.

Refused Thousands of Dollars.

The people who read newspapers and
magazines haye, as rule, a belief that
publishers have no conscience about
loading. up their periodicals with ad-
vertisemens at the cost of reading mat
ter. Yet occasionally some proof comes
to the surface that publishers have
some scruples in this respect. The
Ladies' Home Journal, for example,
will accept just 80 many columns of
advertisements, and no more. This
proportion, for instance, is 20 columns
of advertisements as against 122 columns
of reading matter in each issue of 4S
pages. When the advertisement space
is full all business is declined. The
skeptical may ask, "But is there any
business left to decllne? There u.s.,
decidedly. For nearly every issue
during 1900 there were from four to
twenty-six more columns of desirable
advertising received than could be ac-
cepted, and as each column in the
Journal costs $1,000 the publishers
turned away thousands of dollars,
which, simply because of principle,
they would not accept. So The inter-
est of the public are sometimes re.
garded where they are not popularity
supposed to be.
