BOYCOTT DISCUSSED.
The American Federation Of Labor
and Machine Made Cigars.
COMMITTEES PUT IN A BUSY DAY.
Tho Metal Trades Federation Organize By
ElectinE Officers 30 ~ to BE Able to
1 Deal Directly with the Manu-
5 fhcturers' Association.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 1O.--The confer.
ence of the American Federation OF
Labor was in session only two hours
yesterday, adjournment being taken
until this morning in order to enable
the several committees to consider
the large number of resolutions still
IN their hands. There was a lively
discussion on the floor over the ques.
tion OF boycotting machne-made
cigars. II is the same question that
the cigarmakers' international union
has brought up at previous conven.
tions Of the federation and the union
has always been defeated in its fight
against the introduction Of machinery
in the cigar trade. At the present
time not a machine-made cigar in the
United States, It is said, bears the
label of the Cigarmakers' lnterna'
tional union. The matter came W
in the form of resolution presented
by President Gompers, John c. Deer
nell and Thomas f. Tracey, of the
Cigarmakers' union, and was referred
to the committee on labels. II de
nounced q certain company for max
ing cigars by child labor and ma
chinery and called upon the fedora
ton to assist in unionizing the variou'
plants of the company. The com
mittee reported the resolution bacl
with the recommendation that tn,
word machinery" be stricken GU
and tho resolution adopted. Thel
the cigarmakcrs opened their fight
They insisted that the term "machin
cry" should not be eliminated ant
argued that cigars made BY machin
cry are not as good as those mad
By hand and that the machines driv
hand cigarmakers out OF business
The speakers in opposition to tn

clgarmnkers' proposition argued that

cigarmakers' proposition argued that
to oppose machinery would be folly.
Machines are being introduced in
many lines of trade and the union
could not successfully fight the law
OF progress. 1t was pointed out to
the cigarmakers that the best thing
to do was to organize the operators
Of the machines and adopt a wage
scale, just as the typographical and
other unions have done when ma.
chinery was introduced in theil
trades. The discussion promised to
be lengthy, but the moving OF the
previous question quickly ended the
debate and the resolution, with the
word machinery" stricken out, was
adopted as recommended.
Every one OF the 10 committees
put in a busy afternoon and evening
There are many delegates here with
grievances and they were fully heard
by the committees. The question OF
jurisdiction in several trades came
up before the committee on law, and
the resolutions committee heard
arguments on trade and industrial
autonomy. The executive council
also held session in the afternoon
and disposed Of some odds and ends
OF business still demanding its atten.

held behind closed doors, but the de.

IMMIGRATION FACTS.
Deputy McSweeney Tells What he
Knows on the Subject.
The SPIRIT OF The Law VIOLATED.


Scranton, Pa, Dec. THE conven.
ton Of the American Federation Of
Labor disposed Of considerable rou-
tine business yesterday. Two ses-
sions were held. The overshadowing
feature Of the day was the able I'D.
dress Of Edward +. McSweensy, dep
uty commissioner Of immigration at
the port Of New York, on the sub
ject Of immigration. He reviewed
the history Of immigration from the
downfall Of the Roman empire to the
present and explained the method Of
enforcing the immigration laws. The
spirit Of the law, he said, ia being vio-
lated "by the wholesale" Labor con.
tractors, he said, are each year per.
fecting their method for the bringing
of aliens to this country and the bu.
reau of immigration is not being ex-
tended. He spoke for more than an
hour and was generously applauded
for the great amount Of information
that he gave the delegates. During
the course Of the two sessions SO
resolutions were presented and re.
ferred to committees. They cover
nearly every variety Of subjects that
affect workmen. The committee on
credentials made another report on
contested seats at the afternoon ses-
sion and their recommendations were
accepted except IN one instance.
There remain but two contests to be
acted upon, and they were postponed
at the request of the parties inter-
ested.
Among the more important resolu-
tions presented were these: De-
nouncing WI Ting-fang, the Chinese
minister, for having made the alleged
remark that when the American peo-
pie ARE biased they are beyond argu.
ment and reason does not appeal to
them" asking workmen to unite for
independent political action in q
party having for Its svowed object
the overthrow Of the capitalistic sys.
tenn Of production and distribution
and the establishment of the co-oper.

THE A. F. OF L.


Scranton, Pa, Dec. 9.-Notwith-
standing that yesterday was Sunday
many of the delegates to the conven-
ton of the American Federation OF
Labor, now in session in this city, did
not cease their activity, the day be.
ing given up to the transaction of
committee business. The convention
will remain in session for the next
six days and will have very busy
week. Two hundred resolutions,
touching upon nearly every question
in the labor world, have been pre-
sented for action. The committees
will make reports on them as rapidly
as possible, but it is not likely that
more than half of those will be re-
ported from the several committees.
What is looked upon by many of the
delegates as the most vital question
that will come before the convention
is that of trade autonomy. The
brewery workmen and the mine work
ers' delegates probably will be the
storm centers on this question. Both
of these trade unions want industrial
autonomy, that is, they advocate
that all trades in one industrial es-
tablishment should form one organi-
zation for the better advancement of
the condition of all. They also an
nounce that they will oppose trade
autonomy to the bitter end. The
miners in their argument say that
II a handful Of engineers or tremen
employed in mine should strike it
would cause the mine to be closed
and thus throw out of work hundreds
of men who may have no grievance.
If all trades in the mine were united
under one head the mine workers
say much friction could be avoided.
Those who advocate trade autonomy
claim IL would be fatal for them to
enter such combination and that
no good result could come from an
amalgamation of that kind.
Nearly dozen resolutions on the
matter of the exclusion of the Mon
golian race from the United States
and island possessions are in the
hands of a special committee. This
committee probably will report one
resolution embodying the good points
of all of them.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Dec. 1o.-Gov.
Dockery received word last night from
Rich Hill saying that the strike OF
the coal miners at that point had
been arbitrated by the state board
Of arbitration. The fact that the
strike had been satisfactorily settled
without further trouble and that the
state board had been istrumental in
arranging the matter has removed a
load of worry from the governors
shoulders. He had previously been
