the darkness they broke away and ned
from the house.
The burglars then entered the home OF
Town Marshal Krohn, who opened fire on
them. When he had shot three times, one
of the robbers who had jumped into
buggy, got out and began blazing away
at the marshal. At the third shot the lat

away. Baird followed them to the home

Cleveland, Elyria and Western railway.
Baird again opened fire on the robbers
when they walked into the Hitler home.

THE STRIKE
BREAKER
IN NEW ORLEANS CONVENTION
LABOR LEADER DECLARES
AGAINST A PROMINENT EDU-
, GATOR.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 13-The twenty
second annual convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor met this morn
ing at 1880 o'clock in Odd Fellows hall,
about 400 delegates being present. The
hour originally set for the opening of
the convention was o'clock, but Presi-
dent Gompers was delayed so long at
his hotel by newly arrived delegates who
desired to see him before the convention
opened, that he was unable to appear at
the hall before 10 o'clock. 81
When the convention had been called
to order, President Lee, of the New Or
leans assembly, delivered an address of
welcome in behalf Of the laboring men
of New Orleans, to which Mr.. Gompers
responded. Mr.. Lee closed his address
of welcome with. a warm tribute to
President Gompers personally. declaring
that the members of the federation would
follow him to the end.
Mr.. Gompers declared in his reply that
he fully appreciated whatever was said
of him personally and thought he could
best show his appreciation by his silence
regarding 1t.
After touching upon the scope and bear
ing of the labor union movement, Mr..
Gompers said that 1t was amazing to note
the Ignorance among so-called educated
people regarding the aims and objects of
the organizations.
mo man who as an educator" said
President Gompers, poses as strike
breaker, is fit for the position he holds.
Compared to such man Benedict Arnold
was martyr and Judas Iscariot saint. "
Although no name was mentioned, 1t
was understood by the delegates that ref
erence was made to the head of one OF
the leading educational institutions of the
country and they applauded with We
hemence. Cheers were again called forth
when It was declared that the men who
acted the role of a strike breaker was
looking backward toward barbartsm and
not toward the future.
A call was made for the report OF the
committee on credentials and that body
not being entirely prepared, considerable
delay resulted. 1t declared that So ma
tional organizations, nine state organiza-
lions, s. central bodies, "a local and fed
eraI bodies and four fraternal delegates
had reported and were entitled to rep
resentation. The total voting strength
of the bodies reported by the delegates
was about 10000.
1t was recommended that credentials be
denied to a number of delegates who were
opposed chiefly because of non-payment
of dues A protest against the seating
of the delegates of the Amalgamated As
sociation of Carpenters was made by the
United brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners Upon motion the. contest was re-
ferred back TO the committee for further
, action and it's other recommendations
were adopted. James Duncan moved
that a special committee be appointed to
which all disputes between the branches
Of the building trades should be referred.
this committee to report directly to the
convention This motion removed much
of the work incidental to the dispute be-
. tween the carpenters from the floor or
the convention.
