Makes Bluff to Work Out
Long Advocated Idea.

New York, Dec. S.-Plans for organ
izing the employers of America to
combat labor unions were considered
at the concluding session Of the Citt-
zens Industrial Association conven-
ton.
The report Of the committee on re-
solutions, which was adopted, reaf-
firms the objects as adopted at the
Chicago and Indianapolis meetings
and again declares for:
The open shop. Demanding only
good faith and fair dealing, it discrimi-
mates against neither union nor indie
pendent labor.
The freedom of the apprentice and
the right of the individual to have
trade and follow it.
The right Of private contract, with
equal obligation upon employer and
employe.
The right to work, limiting the hours
of labor, whether of brains or of the
hand, is matter Of mutual agreement,
not a subject for arbitrary legislative
enactment.
The enformecent of law.
Skilled Labor Disappearing.
The resolution directs the executive
committee to take the necessary steps
to secure a proper channel Of activity
for the correlation Of interested organ
izations with the Citizens Industrial
Association Of America Continuing,
they declare:
Whereas, the limitation which the
trades union sets upon the number Of
apprentices in any shop is largely re-
sponsible for the disappearance Of
skilled labor, is destructive Of the In

was made by reclamation.
July 81 and August were set as
dates for the committee TO notify the

honesty OF the man who had been gov
ernor OF the Empire state and had
served the country in the capacity OF
vice president and president. and Is
better known In this country and
abroad than any other living Ameri-
can.
The first seconding speech was
made by Senator Albert j. Beveridge
of Indiana, who placed his state In
line for the candidacy OF Roosevelt in
a speech which added TO the laurels
of the brilliant Hoosier orator.
Following one upon another In
rapid succession the other seconding
speeches we're delivered. Delegate
Joe Cotton OF Minnesota, Frank
Knight OF California. the silver
tongued orator OF the Golden State;
Harry Stillwell Edwards OF Georgia.
and Harry S. Cummings of Maryland,
were all prepared TO pledge the sup
port OF their sections OF the country
20 the candidacy OF the man who has
such a stronghold upon the people.
Gov. Black pronounced the nomi-
mating words az just 11:06. AS he did
so he retired quickly from the plat
form. But the words Theodore
Roosevelt" had not left his lips when
there was a shout. The convention
was on it's feet. Like the crash OF
thunder that follows the lightning the
enthusiasm began. Flags were in the
air, hats were thrown up, men jumped
on their chairs. women stood and
shouted. The air was rent with one
continuous prolonged shout from
thousands OF threats. So mighty was
the volume OF sound that nothing
definite in the way OF articulate sound
was distinguishable.
The front of the platform was next
occupied by an immense crayon bust
portrait OF President Roosevelt. borne
aloft by three men. Again broke forth
fresh impetus TO the continuous shout.
Then came the roll call OF states,
the impressive formality that the con-
vention rules required before the
nomination by reclamation could be
effected. AS delegation after delega-
ton cast It's solid vote for Roosevelt,
the enthusiasm mounted higher and
higher until finally came the motion
for a vote by reclamation.
That It was all prepared and ex-
pected detracted nothing from the
brIlllancy of the scene. For over five
minutes the tumult continued. The
baby elephant was marched around
and around and through the aisles.
Finally. after the convention had
spent itself with applause. Senator
Beverage Of Indiana, pushed his way
TO the platform and at 1883 began

For eighteen more of the forty-four
