An Appreciation.

Mr.. Editor: BY the death OF Michael
Marion this community has lost ster-
ling, upright citizen. a genial neighbor,
a staunch friend and an honest man.
These characteristics are becoming so
rare that their loss occasions a vacuum
in society that remnants untitled, a void
that sham cannot solidify, and deceit
cannot counterfeit, man who gave his
body to his country that his country
might survive, his goods to the poor that
the poor might live. Organized labor has
lost its staunchest friend in this COM
Imunity and although a section Of such
requited his endeavors with greed and
neglect as their only reward. There are
hundreds Of humble homes where d
prayer tremhles on the lip for the kindly
heart that ii stilled forever, and the
Christlike soul that has gone to its
lGod. When the organized merchants nf

GOmperS and Mitchell De.
Tended Themselves
in LABOR CONVENTION.
Unexpected outpouring Of vituperation
in American Federation Of Labor
Meeting Yesterday Causes
Excitement

San Francisco, Nov. 22-At yestcr
days sessions OF the American Fedora
tion OF Labor, the unexpected interjec.
tion OF the question of socialism caused
IA hot debate in which Samuel Gompers
and John Mitchell We're charged with
being TRAITORS to the cause Of labor.
This resolution introduced by Delegate
Victor Berger Of Milwaukee, caused the
debate.
Whereas, The unprecedented eoncen-
tration Of wealth in the United States and
the rapid development Of the trusts in
almost every branch Of industry make
it obvious that capitalism win soon reach
its elimination point and viii have to
make room for another phase of civil
ization; and
Whereas, il IS evident that this ma
tion is destined to take the lead in this
grand struggle for better conditions and
higher culture; therefore, be il
Resolved, That we hereby recommend
to all organizations affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor to have
their members study the economic con
ditions; TO have lectures upon these sub
iects IN their lodge rooms, homes and in
lAttNtAEo SCI dpdiN AtA thAa PSI P3etf anu
to do everything in their power for
the enlightenment and intellectual ad-
vancement Of the proletariat."
The resolutions committee recommend
the adoption of all but the clause fol-
lowing the first Whereas" This opened
the noodgates Of oratory and vitupera-
tion, and a long battle followed, after
which the delegates passed the resolution
as recommended and expressed their con
iidence in Mitchell and Gompers
Max Hayes, who championed the So
cialistic doctrine in a speech, was cheered
for several minutes. President Gompers
then threatened to clear the hall Of all
visitors ii such demonstration were re-
peated.
Feeling ran So high that John Mitchell
arose and said that unless Delegate Ber-
ger proved his statement that he (Mit-
chell) had been 4 traitor, he must stand
safpre the eges u all present con.
victed liar. The rules were suspended
and Gompers and Afithcell allowed Il
defend themselves.
The trouble arose over a printed sir
which charged Gompers and Mitchell
with dining with President Eliot Of Har,
ward at an "unfairn hotel, and that
President Eliot was the man who called
the "seahn a hero. 1t bore the head
ing; "Are They Traitors31
The reply Of President Gompers was
bitter and impassioned, and the feeling
among the delegates was tense. He adj
mitted attending the dinner, but denied
every inference drawn therefrom and de
elared that as long as he was connected
with the labor movement he would fight
against the mixing up Of politics with
unionism
Mr.. Mitchell was loudly applauded
when he said that he defied any man
to point to any act Of his which might
be interpreted as against the interests
Of the workingman.
