LABOR CHIEFTkINS
RENEW OLD DISPUTE
Comes Up at Federation of
Labor Convention.
WILL BE FOUGHT TO A FINISH.
Charges Made by President Shaffer
After Steel Strike Against President
Gompers Will Be Referred to Spe-
cial Committee For Investigation.

New Orleans, Nov. 17.-The old dis
pute between President Shaffer of the
Amalgamated Association of Steel
Workers and President Gompers, OF
the American Federation of. Labor
broke out aTesh in the labor convention
this morning and there is every pros
pect on this occasion that the fight
will be to a finish.
The charges were originally made
by President Shaffer after the termina.
ton of the great steel strike of 1901
They were to the effect that President
Gompers, of the American Federation
of Labor, and President John Mitchell
of the United Mine Workers, had been
guilty Of ununion like conduct in re-
fusing to support his organization in
its fight.
Today, on the other hand, it is as
serted that the association over which
President Shaffer presided was trying
to violate its agreements, and that his
stand was untenable. Delegate Sher.
idan of the Amalgamated association
colleague of President Shaffer in
the convention threw up bomb by
asking unanimous consent to intro
duce a resolution calling for an inves-
tigation of the charges. Both parties
announced that they courted the in
vestigation, and it will be referred to a
special committee of five, two to be
selected by President Gompers, two by
President Shaffer and the four to
choose the fifth. After the adjourn
ment President Shaffer asserted with
great emphasis;
"The entire thing is a scheme to in
jure me and to discredit me so that
cannot be reelected. l had no part
in the presentation of the resolution
offered by Sheridan, and believe that
he and Gompers are in collusion re
garding it."
When this statement was made tc
Mr.. Sheridan he denied that there was
any cooperation between himself anC
President .Gompers The latter said
"Mr. Shaffer may be entirely correct
when he says he did not desire the
introduction of the resolution, but it is
utterly false to say that l am in
league with Mr.. Sheridan or anybody
else in this matter"

Disastrous Results.
Birmingham, Ala, Nov. ia fire
which broke out in the freight depot
Of the Southern railway at Pell City,
54 miles east of here, at 4 o'clock this
morning, was followed by terrific ex-
plosion, which resulted in two persons
being killed and ten injured, two per-
haps fatally. The dead are;
J. D. Hall, merchant, of PeH City.
Thomas Whitefeld, brick mason,
from Cedartown, Ga.
The wounded are:
Hon. N. B. Spears, former member
of the Alabama legislature and Repub-
lican candidate for congress, in the
seventh district two years ago; arm
broken and internal injuries; very Sc
rious and perhaps fatal.
Engineer John Griffin, terribly cut
in the side by piece of flying wood;
fatally.
NJ. Tilden, of Atlanta, bruised.
Macy Seaborn, hand broken.
d. A. Poke, agent Seaboard Air Line,
leg broken and internally injured.

internal injuries.
w. A. Crowley, druggist, face and
chest hurt.
Conductor E. P. Sinclair, arm brok-
en-.
Conductor j. NJ. Jackson, right
shoulder dislocated.
When the fire was discovered the
night operator gave the alarm by re
repeatedly firing a revolver. This
aroused the citizens who ran to the
depot to help save the freight. The
fact was overlooked that so cases ot
dynamite were stored in the place and
the explosion occurred while a large
crowd of citizens and railroad men
were near the scene, thus causing a
long list of casualties.
Ten business houses, including the
Pell City hotel were also wrecked
causing a heavy loss. Two freight
trains on the siding were gotten away
in time to save them. Several of the
injured were brought here,

Mr., A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago operated float

operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands hands we're always exposed to the worst malaral
Influences. l employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem-
her there was great loss of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
Nv attention was then called to Johnsons Chill
and Fever Tonic, and [ determined to give the
medicine a trial. 1 procured it, and those who
we're sick were put on this treatment and those who
we're feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In a short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty and from that time
on | used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,

One OF the Most Important
Amendments Is TO define
Preferred Creditors.
Other Changes OF More or Less
Moment Made - News OF
Washington.

Washington, June 1S.-The house
spent the day considering bills reported
from the judiciary committee. BY far
the most important measure was that
to amend the existing bankruptcy law
The minority made vigorous effort to
repeal the present law in toto, but was
overwhelmingly defeated, 65 to 1871. The
bill passed amends the law in fifteen
particulars to meet defects which, it is
said, experience has proven. The most
important amendment is one to define
preference, to met the Prize vs. the Chi
cago Title and Trust Company. -Four
additional grounds for refusing dis
charge in BANKRUPTCY also are added:
First, obtaining property on credit on
materially false statements; second
making fraudulent transfer of proper
ty; third, having been granted or de-
MED discharge in bankruptcy within
six years, and for having refused to
obey the order of the court or refusal to
answer material questions approved by
the court.
An evening session was held for the
consideration of bills reported from the
Indian committee.
The house agreed to the conference
asked for by the senate on the anti
anarchy bill and Messrs. Ray, of New
York, Overstreet of Indiana, and Lam
ham of Texas We're appointed conferees.
