In CONVENTION.
American Federation Of La
Dor Holds Big Meeting
in Scranton

Scranton. Pa. Dec. 6.-1wo hun
dred and eighty-five delegates, repre-
senting more than million and a
half of workmen, responded to the
roll call at the opening session Of the
2lst annual convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor which was
called to order by President Samuel
Gompers in St. Thomas College Hall
yesterday morning. The convention is
said to be the largest congress OF
workmen ever held in this country
During the course of the day the
convention made one important decis
ion. It related to the contested seat
of the delegate from the Central La
Dor Union of Richmond. Va. which
body refused to admit negro workmer
to its organization. The dispute was
adjusted by seating the Central Labor
Union representative, and instructing
the executive board of the American
Federation of Labor to form sepa
rate central union for colored men.
When the names of the delegates
representing the United Mine Work
ers of America were reached in the
roll call a stir was caused by c. L
Shamp, of Chicago, objecting to theil
being seated. He maintained that the
mine workers were not entitled t
representation in the convention, be
cause the per capita tax of $4,000 haC
not been paid to the federation. Presi
dent. Mitchell, of the mine workers
replied that his organization was no
asking for special privileges. Severa
thousand of it's members were OF
strike almost continually for the pas
two years and said that he had aske,
the executive board to remit the lev,
because the miners had paid an as
sessment Of $4,000 for the aid of th'
machinists. He said if the convention
decided that his organization was il
arrears he would Immediately draw
| check for the amount due. The mat
ter went no further, and by an almos
unanimous vote the coal miners REP
resentatives were seated.
The reading of the annual report o
President Gompers consumed thre
hours. Secretary Morrison's repor
and that Of treasurer John B. Lennon
were also read.
Mr.. Gompers' report showed a ne
increase of 313 local unions for tn
year. and a gain Of 364,410 members
Secretary Morrison in his repor
says: Strikes of all kinds reported ag
gregated 1.O56, in which 1885 mem

ago last night. and before she had
gone a great distance she encountered
a severe storm and was roughly han

almost on her beam ends In this con.
dition she was picked up by the tug
Wallula, who made an effort to tow
her to Astoria, but the tug had to
abandon her. Later the powerful tue
Tatoosh took hold of her, but found
it impossible to tow her in. on account
Of the fury of the gale and the heavy
seas. The captain of the Tatoosh de
cided to tow her to Puget Sound, but
had not proceeded far when the gale
increased in fury, and on Tuesday
night the hawser parted and the Ia
toosh was unable to fnd the vesse

time, and it was with much difficulty
that a hawser was taken on board.
