CHICAGVS FIGHT UP|
CONSIDERED BY THE AMERICAN
 FEDERATION OF LABOR.
After Two Hours sf Hot and Aerimon- ieus Debate the Matter h Re-
 fcrred to . Com
 h2 mites.

San Francisco, Nov 17.--The Chica. go Federation light was threshed out on the floor of convention during the afternoon session of the American Federation of Labor and after a hot and acriminious debate lasting two hours and half the matter was finally referred to the committee on local and federated bodies with instructions that report be rendered at the earliest possible moment.
 Delegate Dole made an impassioned speech in behalf of she federation. The leaders seemed disposed to sidetrack the question, John Mitchell who. oc- cupied the chair in place of President Gompers saying he would consider any motion to refer or defer the matter.
 The point at issue rested upon the re- fusal of the Chicago Federation to comply with demands of the American Federation to exper the local Chicago unions. The basic principle of the whole dispute rested on a question of trade jurisdiction. The United Plumb jurisdiction over the two Chicago unions in question which were not af- filiated with the national body.
 They were upheld by the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, but the Chicago federation per- sisted in dfsregarding the ruling and allowed two seceding unions to afiiliate with the central body The Chicago Federation was thereupon expelled from the national body until such a time as 1t saw fit to comply with the edict of the executive council
 The Chicago delegates were dcsirous of making a motion to the effect that the convention appoint special com mfttee to journey to Chicago aa soon as possible after the final adjournment of the convention and study the situa- ton at first hands.
 In the interim they desired that Will liam Schardt. president of the Chicago Federation and delegate of that body to the present convention, be seated. This was designated by the opposition as mere subterfuge and cheap politi- cal trick and was overruled. The debate was finally stopped by a mo- ton. carried by a bare majority, set ting 4:10 o'clock as a limit, after which no speeches on the question could be delivered.

These were flanked on either side by the Prince and Princess of Wales. and the Duke and Duchess of Con- naught. All wore the Windsor uni- form, namely. evening dress with red collars and lapels.
 The orders worn by the men and the jewels on the women's dresses added brilliancy to an audience such as has seldom gathered in England. King Ed ward and King Charles both followed the performance vivaciously. Mrs. James Brown Potter especially at tracted attention while another Ameri- can, Geraldine Wilson. a small child of nine. upon whom this Je<yl and Hyde meiodrama hinges. also won frequent royal applause. ..
