FEDERATION Of LABOR.
President Gompers Criticised For Elk
travagance.

C4aVa g0lce-
Boston. Nov. 1.-THE question wheth-
er the convention of the American
Federation of Labor should appropri-
ate $1,000 20 aid the Western Fedora
ton Of Miners in their pending strike
came up today for a second time when
the committee on resolutions reported
as a substitute for a previous resOlu-
ton that sympathy be expressed for
the miners of the west and that trades
unions throughout the country be re-
Quested 10 tender financial assistance
to the Western Federation. The re-
pert provoked a discussion in which
many of the prominent delegates took
part.
President GOmpers, speaking from the
chair, answered what he termed an Gin
situation of extravagance, made by
Delegate George j.. Vincens Of Spring
field, who said that il might
have been wei if some OF the money
which the executive council had eX-
pended In visiting Boston had been eX-
pended in an appropriation for the
miners. Mr. GOmpers declared the ex-
penses Of the committee entirely JUS
tihable, and added:
"The Federation has now many aD-
peals for funds before it. 1t is not
good TO give to others who are always
opposed TO you. things you deny to
your own family"
A motion that the committees sub
stitute resolution be amended to pro-
vide that $1,000 be donated at once by
the Federation was defeated by a show
OF hands but a roll call was de-
manded and the amended motion was
adopted.
The committee on resolutions report
ed unfavorably on a proposition that
'uniOnists ignore unfair injunctions by
any capitalistic judiciaries," and advO-
eating "a spontaneous and united op-
position which viii render such court
rulings imperative and bring them into
ridicule"
The report OF the committee was con-
CURED in.

IRRIGATION CANAL RUINOUS
Novel Contention Of Toltec Company
Against Utah Sugar Company.

The nOVal contention that an 1rr1-
cation canal has rendered agricultural
land worthless, is made the basis for a
suit that was yesterday filed in the
federal court.
The complainant is the Toltec Ranch
company, a California corporation,
against the Utah Sugar company. Be
cause Of the alleged fact that an arti-
fetal canal belonging to the defendant,
permitted alkaH and other injurious
chemicals to seep through in solution
onto the lands of the plaintiff, the lat
ter asks for $4,000 damages.
According to the complaint, the canal
runs through Box Elder and Cache
counties. The water is taken from Bear
creek and is said to be sufficient to irri-
gate about 10000 acres. The Toltec
company. which controls a great deal
maintains that the baneful chemicals
held in solution by the water in the
canal have seeped and percOlated
through the sides and floor Of the wa
terway to such an extent that two
parcels Of heretofore valuable agricul-
tural land, aggregating 800 acres IN
area, have been rendered worthless.
Therefore, the suit for damages.
A part Of the same action is an apph-
cation by the TOlteC company for $500
from the sugar company for the alleged
theft of rock, cement, gravel and sand
from the property of the plaintiff in
Box Elder county The complaint
charges that the defendant has entered
upon the land Of the plaintiff and re-
moved and appropriated to its own use
a large quantity Of material which IS
apprised in value at - cents per ton.

came back and measured off the dis
tance in the right direction. The jurors
and myself then went down the track
to where the blood was, and I showed

was a little different then from what it
was when the body was found. I told
