Of the Socialistic Delegates Contro-

ism from Max Shays, Of Cleveland
Crowd Gets Unruly.
Boston, Mass, Nov. 17.--Socialism
was the main feature in today's session
Of the American Federation of Labor.
1t WIS vigorously scored by many dele
gates and by President Gompers and
equally as vigorously defended by a
few of the delegates present. The
cause of President Gompe:'s remarks
was based On the manner In which sew
eral reso utions nud been introduced
before the ron 'tntion am. ,e said hc
considered 1t unfair to the convention
for pers1.,s following one kind of
philosophy to introduce IN dozen diff
ferent ways aad at a dozen different
times resolutions advancing their tho
cries"
When the corr. r,ttee On Organization
was called upon to report, thc!y read
nine resolutions which treated Of Sc
cialism. AMI reported unfavoruhly on
them all. This provoked criticism
from socialist delegates present, while
the enemies of socialism vehemently
defended the committee.
Max Shays, the socialist of Cley
land, Ohio, bitterly arraigned the ma
tional denomination and governments
He declared those elected to power
were against the wage workers, be.
cause they were against socialism.
He claimed that newspapers, maga.
zine, and the pulpits of the countr.
favored the trusts while socialism d
nounced them. He further declared
that governors who would call out the
militia during strikes, to kill, II they
thought necessary. the strikers were
puppets"
Delegate Mclaughlin Of the Obi
state federation, scored socialism, say
ing it preached the doctrine that {
man could leave his home, wife, chill
dren. even his God, but could no
leave his party because 1t was all in all
This he said, was poppycock and urg
ed the convention TO down socialism
once and for all.
Many other delegates spoke on tn,
matter both for and against, and tn
discussion was still being carried on a
the time for adjournment. The matte
will be taken up at tomorrow morning
session at which time other delegates
including President Gompers will
speak.
During the speech making the spec
tators in the gallery demonstrated
their approval of the remarks of on
of the delegates and President Gomper
asked that the visitors desist
The request was greeted with hisse
and President Gompers ordered til
galleries cleared. d. d. Driscoll, presl
dent Of the Boston Central Labor uniol
Immediately sent out call for polio
and then himself went into the CALLER
and proceeded forcibly to eject spec
tators. His action met tho hearty dis
approval OF the convention and he wa
hissed out OF the hall.
The galleries were finally cleare
and quiet restored.

Green BUGS in oats.

Durant. l. T., April 22.-This morn
ing James Harrison stated that the
green bugs have invaded the oat
fields on Ten Mile Prairie, a rich
scope of fina farming land, containing
about 10000 acres. northwest of Du-
rant and that the pests have already
begun damaging the oat crop, which
embraces about 5000 acres. Yester-
day G. Dowd and other farmers resid-
ing there went over that section and
report the bugs in nearly all the oat
fields.
Last year the pests were the worst
on this prairie, and the farmers are
much discouraged lest this years ef
forts prove futile in the oat fields.
