Gomners Exonerated.

New Orleans, Nov. 20.-The first
matter taken up before the Federation
of Labor convention this morning was
the report of the special committee on
charges preferred against President
Gompers by President Shafier of the
Amalgamated Association of Steel, Iron
and Tin Workers, through resolution
introduced by Delegate p. j. Sheridan,
of the Amalgamated Association. The
charges as formulated by Delegate Sheri-
dan, were that Shafer had impugned
the unionism of President Gompers.
The evidence showed that the resolution
had been introduced by Sheridan with
out Skaters permission or knowledge,
and that Shafier had really not made
any charges impugning Gompers as a
union man. Shafler said before the
committee that he had once called Com
pers liar and Gompers had called him
liar. These epithets had been applied
concerning disputes that had grown out Of
the strike of Skaters association in
1901. The report of the investigating
committee, which was complete vindi
cation Of President Gompers, was adopt
ed unanimously.

The President in the south.

Stevenson. Ala, Nov. 20.-The
Presidents train reached Stevenson at
S:l5 a. m. There were no incidents
during the night. Two minutes before
the President left Memphis last night, a
blaze of red light Illuminated the
station. General Peter Tracy, one
of the towns most famous characters,
was there to give the President a send
off. He was the only one of the citizens
to appear. After setting off the red,
white and blue fires, the General adj
vanced upon the President with big

THURSDAY EVENING. NOV. 20, 1902
In raF4year 1SS9-thirteen year

In THEI4year 1SS9-thirteen years
ago--electric lights were introduced in
the city of Alexandria, and at that
time the people were led to believe by
some of the members of the City Coun-
ell and the loquacious agent of the COM
pany which furnished the plant that II
would be of sufficient power to supply
all the arc lights needed for the city and
any number of incandescent bulbs the
citizens might desire for their stores or
dwellings. 1t took but short time for
it to become manifest that the dynamos
were taxed to their fullest capacity IN
order TO furnish enough electricity for
the streets, and the citizens soon
realized that they would be compelled
n continue for some time at least the
use of gas or coal oil instead Of enjoy
ing incandescent lights. 1t was
thought by a minority of the City Coun-
ell at the time-and their opinions were
shared by considerable portion of the
COMMUNICATED too much haste
characterized the movement which
brought electricity into Alexandrla--
that incandescent lights should nave
been made certain at the time and be-
fore the city had obligated itself to ex-
pend upwards of $4,000. However, 1t
is useless to speculate on what might
have been done, and the only part o.
wisdom now is to confront present con
ditions and see what can be accom-
plished towards bringing about change
which will eliminate in meeting
the requirements or wishes OF
the people of~the community. During
the past decade number Of propositions
have been made to the representatives
of the city whereby electric lights could
have been furnished all who desired them.
None seemed satisfactory, and the city Is
in now position where it shows no dis
position to meet growing need and at
the same time stands as barrier to any
person or corporation who can. From
present appearances, when thousands OF
dollars are being spent to place the gas
works in a satisfactory condition, while
as many more thousands will be required
for the modern street improvements
(Which all rejoice to see), there IS little
chance of the city being able in the near
future to install another electric plant
here. Then, too, il must not be forgot
ten that ere long the present machinery
which is now nearly run down, will
have to be renewed in order to continue
the present method oflighting the streets.
The Gazette suggests nothing in reference
to these matters, but merely describes
present conditions and calls attention to
the fact that Alexandria is still deprived
of modern conveniences now enjoyed by
smaller cities of the State.

Mr.. MITCHELL, president of the coal
miners union, during the investigation
before the strike commission in Scran-
ton, Pa, on Tuesday, declared himself
against the incorporation of the union.
This is one of the chief reasons the
operators decline to recognize the union,
for so long as that body is not incorpor-
ated no suit against it can be brought
for breaking contracts or on any other
grounds, whereas the coal corporations
can be and are frequently sued, some
times on the most trifing grounds. The
coal companies hold that should they
deal directly with an unincorporated body
they would be completely in the dark
and that therefore the united mine
workers of America is not responsible
party to have an interest by contract in
control of the companies properties.
