 Convention Meets.
 The convention came to order promptly at g o'clock, and the committee on labels reported that union men were derelict in demanding the union label, thereby di- minishing the sale of union-made goods, and the committee recommended that the convention urge union men to buy only union-labeled goods and call for the card of the clerk selling them.
 Under the head of the good and welfare of the Federation R. B. Howard of Besse- mer made a talk, urging unionists to throw off party yokes and carry political issues into their unions. This he believed would be the redemption of the working people.
 s. L. Brooks, colored, urged that active efforts be made to organize the negro. It may be only a matter of time, he said. until the organized white crafts might have to lay down their tools in an effort to better their condition, and their places filled with the unorganized negroes. He asked whose fault 1t would be if they did. '-rhe white man's," he said, be cause the negro has to live, and if he 50 cents" ''The negro,'' he said, was not asking for social equality. but for an equal chance to make an honest dollar.

THE WESTERN ASSOCIATION.


1t hardly seems possible that the opening
of the Western Association baseball season
is so close at hand, for the weather during
the past month has been decidedly unfavor-
able for practice. The enthusiasm of the
crank has not had a chance to burn brisk
and warmer weather comes. While the In
dianapolis players nave been housed most
of the month and have not had the OPP
%portunity to do much practice work, the
other teams in the association have also
experienced about the same Kind of wealth
err. Indianapolis has played a few games.
as has also Toledo, Dayton and Fort
Wayne, but the other teams have been UNI
able to do much training. 1t is claimed.
however, that when the season opens next
Thursday the teams will be In fairly good
feet as to make IL uninteresting.
TIL indianapolis players will do light
practice to-day and tomorrow morning,
leaving for Louisville tomorrow afternoon
for the opening of the championship season
on Thursday. Manager Watkins hopes to
be able TO return to the city to leave with
the team for Louisville. When he does re-
turn it Is very probable that several of the
men who forgot themselves at Terre Haute
and imbibed too freely VIII be called to the
green carpet.
1t is very probable that the entire team
will be taken TO Louisville, and, as the
pitchers have not warmed up for the sea-
son, at least two twirlers will be used in
each game. The championship season in
indianapolis will open next Tuesday with
the Dayton team.
