SHAFFER READS HIS REPORT.
Document Not to be Completed Until To-
days Session.

WHEELING, w. Va. April 21.-The an
nual report of President Theodore Shat
fer held the attention OF the Amaigamated
Convention all today and may continue
until late tomorrow. The report deals
with the status of the organization and
lays especial stress upon the great strike
of 1901
IL is said to be an elaborate defense of
the conduct of the struggle and an elo-
quent answer to critics of the national
officials in their method OF levying war
upon the United States Steel Company. 1t
is understood that President Shaffer told
the convention that the American Fedora
ton of Labor contributed nothing toward
the strike.
He said the association was in a fair
way to win a decided victory On it's own
account until a partisan press began to
circulate malicious lies. resulting in in
fiuencing many Amalgsmated workers to
leave their homes and seek employment
in mills that should have been closed.
In conclusion IL is said President Shat
fer offered to relinquish his Office when
ever he was deemed inefficient by the
members and that he had ever lad its
best interests at heart
The report is making a decided pro-
Shaffer impression on the delegates and
IL 1t is adopted it will mean virtually his
reelection.

Mr.. Loud of California protested against

tion was wrong and should be defeated.
Some people. he said. were pension mad.
Mr. McDermott said that the real pur
pose of the bill which required the rail-
way companies to employ street crossing
policemen and gave the Commissioners
power to appoint them was to provide
jobs to be disposed of by certain poll
ticians. The men were not selected, he
said, because OF any special fitness which
they might have for the positions. but
because somebody recommended them to
the Commissioners. Continuing. Mr.. Nc

licemen alone cost the City and Suburban

as the negro was kept in politics. just SO
| long the South would regard him as the
most important question. and he begged
that be kept out of politics.
The South. he said. treated the negro
justly and fairly. although it did not be-
lieve in social equality, and did believe
that anyone who encouraged 1t was do
ing wrong. Amalgamation might raise
the lower race, but 1t was just as sure to
pull down the upper and better race.
In a very thoughtful and eloquent
speech Mr.. Kitchin discussed the ethical
side of the question. There was no North
ern man who would invite TO his home the
most respected, best educated and refined
negro who could be found and receive him
on a plane of social equality. Men might
talk about it, but they would not do it, no
matter which political party they be-
longed to.

Government should disayow and prevent.

son was located, saying that there was
none there.
Mr. Gaines also spoke along the same
lines as did Mr.. Patterson and Mr.
hltchin pointing to specific instances
where Northern Republicans had received

TEACHERS STRIKE AGAIN.
Pittston Township, Pa, Pedagogues Are
Out and Pupils Rejoice.

WiLKESBARRE, Pa, April 2l.-The
fifteen school teachers of Pittston town
ship again went on strike tonight and
over one thousand children are gleeful.
The teachers resumed their schools in
the latter part OF March. after four
months strike. upon being promised all
the State appropriation Of $1,000 as part
payment on their salaries. The board
owes them more than $4,000
Today they discovered that the State
will withhold the appropriation this year
because the township did not comply with
the law which requires that seven months
school shall be held each year before the
appropriation may be obtained.
