WILL ORGANIZE ALL LABOR,
Samuel Gompers Says No Power Can
Stop the Movement.

Boston, Mass, May 15.-In an address
before the Central Labor Union here
Samuel Gompers said: There is the
most unjust and most unreasonable and
questionable effort being made to de-
stroy labor unionism. The propositions
briefly. is to destroy our endeavors to
build international unionism. The new
bill pending in the Canadian Parliament
makes it a crime for an American la
boring man to aid Canadian men il
their unionisn. And besides this, there

is swinging our way. We propose to Or

Great Activity Shown in All Sections
Of the Country-Referendum Votes
Are Ordered.

The sleepless activity of the Social
SITS throughout the year is clearly man.
Tested in the number and character Of
State conventions that are beng held,
Or that will soon be held, in al parts
Of the country.
The Indiana Convention, held at In
dianapolis on April rs and 81, was the
largest in the history Of the party in
that State. Twenty-three delegates
we're present. The offices Of secretary
and treasury were combined and means
will. be provided SO that the secretary
treasurer can give his whola time to
the work. The following nominations
were made to be submitted to a refer
endum vote Of the party. For head
quarters, Terre Haute, Bluffton and
Marion; secretary-treasurer, James
ONeal and Winfield Silver; national
committeeman, Martin H. Wefel S. M.
Reynolds and Mat Hollenberger: A
plan similar to the Michigan one was
adopted to further organize the State,
and local speakers will volunteer their
services for the work.
The New Hampshire convention, held
at Concord on April %, was also the
largest in the party's history. Thirty
one delegates were present represent
ing locals in Concord, Dover, Manches-
ter, Franklin, Clearmont, Portsmouth,
Molford, East Hampsted and Nashua.
Resolutions were adopted endorsing the
National and International Platforms
of the Socialist Party and defining its
attitude on State conditions in fore
ible and fearless manner. Samuel F..
Claflins report as National Committee
man, and the report Of Secretary Louis
Arnstein, and Treasurer 3. T. White
house were enthusiastically received
and adopted The following were NOM
mated to be submitted to referendum

house for State secretary and treasurer
respectively. M. Tibbetts of Glaremont,
was elected State organizer to take the
field Immediately. Reports from all
parts Of the State were most encour-
aging, and great enthusiasm prevailed
throughout the convention.
The Pennsylvania State convention
will be held at Reading on Memorial
day, Saturday May 30. The basis of
representation is one delegate from each
local, and one additional delegate for
each fifty members or majority frac-
ton thereof in good standing for three
months prior to date of convention.
The referendum vote of Arkansas To-
Gals on the place to hold a, convention
to form a state organization, resulted
in the selection of Little Rock, and the
National Secretary has therefore called
the convention to meet there on Sat-
urday, May %, the day formerly agreed
upon.

Huntington, Ind, May :15.-The mer-
chants of Huntington, Ind, on April 20,
declared war on organized labor in this
city by presenting the members of the
Retail Clerks Union with a document
which particularly required the clerks
to withdraw from the union. Upon the
clerks returning to sign they were dis
charged, and in consequence some
thirty odd clerks are out.
0. p. Smith, general organizer Of the
American Federation of Labor, was

GOATS INSTEAD OF COWS.
People of Malta Depend Entirely on
Coats for Their MIX Supply.

The population of the island OF
Malta, situated in the Mediterranean
sea, amounting to some 100000 souls
derives its entire milk supply from
the goat herds that abound in that
little speck of rock. 1t is estimated
that there are about 10000 goats on
the island. There are no regular graz
ing fields for goats, but every morning
the herds are driven out along the
roads and hillsides, where they pick
up whatever they can find in the way
of weeds or any other edible matter,
which, however, seldom includes grass.
This Is supplemented by carob beans
when the aerd is driven back to shell
ter at night.
How the Maltese goat can give the
quantity and quality of milk which It
does upon this food is matter of fire.
quent conjecture and it Is out Of the
question to get anything but thin and
watery milk from cows under the same
conditions. An average goat produces
four and one-half pints of milk per
day and the animals cost from $40 to
$50 each. No special effort seems to
be made by the natives to preserve
strains, but, nevertheless, the Maltese
goat manages to keep up its reputa-
ton for looks and productiveness.
