SAMUEL eoMPERs PRESIDENT.
Succeeds Himself as Head of Ameri
can Federation.

San Francisco.-Samuel Gompers
was practically unanimously reelected
president of the American Federation
of Labor Saturday. One delegate, Vic
tor Berger of Milwaukee, voted in the
negative, and asked that his vote be
so recorded.
Gompers was given great ovation
when he retook the gavel. He prom
ised the delegates to try to do as
in the future than he had done in the
past Secretary Frank Morrison and
Treasurer John B. Lennon were unan-
imously chosen to serve for another
year. The following eight vice presi-
dents were reelected: James Duncan,
John Mitchell, James O'Connell, Max
Morris, Thomas l. Kidd, D. A. Hayes,
Daniel j. Keefe and William ]. Spen-
GER The election of the latter was by
Unanimous choice, except in the cases
|of Mr.. Kidd and Mr.. Spencer. The
former was elected over Joseph o.
Bahlhorn of the Brotherhood of Paint
ers by vote of 1879 to 1869. The
latter defeated James Grimes, H. W.
Sherman and o. A. Tveltmoe.
To British Congress.
John McFitt of the United Hatters
was elected unanimously as frater-
nal delegate to the British trade union
congress. James Wood of the cigar
makers international union was elect
ed second fraternal delegate to the
British trades union congress; Frank
Feeney of Philadelphia, of the eleva-
tormen's union, was chosen fraternal
delegate to the Canadian trades and
labor council.
The federation voted at the night
session to meet next year at Pitts
burg, Pa. Pittsburg was selected by
a large vote over St. Louis, Toronto
and Niagara Falls.
Heads Off Bitter Fight.
An effort was made to reopen the
Chicago dispute and give Delegate
Mangan a hearing, but Chairman Com
pers ruled that it was out of order
and bitter fight was nipped in the
bud.
The report of the committee on
building trades councils recommended
the affiliation of the building trades
alliance with the American Federation
of Labor, the enactment of law Civ
ing mechanics and laborers prior
claim on liens and the obtaining of a
strong employers liability act. The
report was unanimously adopted.
President Gompers spoke of rumoI
that had gained some currency to the
effect that an effort would be made at
the next session of congress to give
government employees the right to be-
come union men. He said that he did
not credit the rumor, but if the issue
should come, organized labor would
vehemently express itself and fix the
responsibility for such an un-Americar
act.
After singing America" and "Aulc
Lang Syne" the convention adjourned
lsine die.

Triumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done fol
the human body by surgery. Or
gans are taken out and scraped
and polished and put back, or they
may be removed entirely; bones
are spliced pipes take the place of
diseased sections of veins antisep-
TIC dressings are applied to wounds
bruises, burns and like injuries be-
fore inflammation sets in, which
causes them to heal without matu-
ration and III one.third the time
required by the old treatment.
Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on
this same principle. It is an anti
septic and when applied to such
Injuries, auses them to heal very
quickly. 1t also allays the pain
and soreness. Keep a bottle of
Pain Balm in your home and it
will save you time and money, not
to mention the inconvenience and
suffering which such injuries en-
tail. For sale by all druggists.
