UNION ROWS ANNOY
SAMUEL GOMPERS,
WHO WANTS PEACE
Little Hope of Reconciling Differences

Abraham, NJ. p, familiarly known as
"Mabon," and James Wignall, the two
fraternal delegates from Wales to the
Federation of Labor Convention, by
the Cymrodorion Society in Academy
of Sciences Hall last night The hall
was filed and an excellent programme,
much of it in the Welsh tongue. was
rendered. Reese p. Daniels, president
Of the club, acted as chairman ana
among the speakers were Rev. Samuel
SlocOmbe, Rev. John Rhys Evans ana
Rev. David ]. Evans. piano SOLO
was rendered by Miss Annie Jones,
and vocal solos were given by David
Manlloyd and Conner Richards Inc
speakers of the evening, of course,
were the two guests of honor.
Mr. Wignall, who for the past seven
years has been a member of the board
OF education in Swansea, said that he
was astonisned to find the public
schools here far behind those or
Wales. Pupils are herded in bare
walled classrooms and the impression
given is that the schools are being
starved for want of money.
Mr.. Abraham's address was more
along labor lines. He said that the
condition of the workingmen in Wales,
thanks to organization. is such that
were he a miner seeking employment
he would not come to the United
States. 1t is true. he says, that the
workingmen here receive more in
actual cash. but the purchasing power
is not so great. He also expressed
himself as opposed to the teaching of
religion in the day schools. He DEEM
ed the church and Sunday school the
proper place for the teaching of re-
ligion, and said a labor leader who
was not connected with Sunday
school was not worth his salt.

MEN OF LETTERS

First Meeting of Pacific
Coast Branch of American
Association Goes With Zip
BY Laura Bride Powers.

Behold the Pacific Coast branch Of
the American Historical Association,
a lusty youngster,-and in spite of the
ponderous patronymic it is doomed to
bear. How things do grow in California
when seeded in proper soil, be they
pumpkins or historical associations!
In April last a few Stanford men
Professors Max Farrand. E. D. Adams,
]. j. Dunwoody and others, with a
group of Berkeley folk-led by H.
Morse Stephens, gathered in sympa-
thetic conference to discuss the possi
bility of founding, out here on these
worthy western shores, a branch of the
American Historical Association that
has f1ourished these many years on the
Atlantic shores.
Last nights gathering in the art gall
lery Of Mechanics Pavilion was the
living thing that resulted, and there
were about 500 units in that interested
and interesting living thing-the Paci-
fic Coast Branch, whose objects are
to encourage Pacific Coast history, as
sist in preserving landmarks of Cali
fornia history and assist the parent
James d. Phelan, in the absence of
Rudolph ]. Taussig, served as chair
man, likewise delivering a thoughtful
address upon THE Importance of San
Francisco History" DIR. Benjamin 1tle
Wheeler had some pertinent things to
say about History in the University" >"
Frank J. Symmes, president of the Mer-
chants Association, followed in talk,
History From a Bankers Point of
view; Nathan Abbott, professor of law
of Stanford, upon Statutes and Their
Relation to History; Professor H
Morse Stephens. upon THE American
Historical Association ana the Pacific
Coast Branch" a splendid cajoler is
Professor Stephens, as he succeeded in
Turing many members into the new
body-likewise their three American
dollars for annual dues.
To-day at 10 o'clock the convention
will convene at the lecture hall at Me-
chanics' Institute, continuing until II:
at 1 luncheon will be served at the Oc-
cidental Hotel and at 3 the session re-
sumed.
The sessions are open to interested
people. who-the gods be thanked-are
growing in numbers and in degrees of
enthusiasm out here on the Western
borders.
And success to the new born Pacific
Coast Branch of the American Histori-
cal Association! Long may it live and
may it's dues be planked up promptly!

The special train arrived at the sta

Roosevelt stood on the platform of the
car bowling to the people. When the
applause had subsided the President
expressed his pleasure at being able to
visit Indiana.

During the long fight there were in

Workmen's organization that secession
might follow action against them. For
instance, Delegate Priestersbach said:

bringing harmony. such action as that con-
tsmplated by the American Federation or
La Dor at the present time would disharmonize
everything in the brewery workers organlza-
tiOn and also in the teamsters, engineers and
firemen. This is what l want TO say in sup

there is any organization that would stand

workers. Will tell you that much.
Lavary, speaking on the other side
OF the house and regarding injune-
ticns and the general attitude of the
brewery workmen said in part:

Long belts in the SUM- flecked air aglint,
Brown, slancing arms and the forks astir
In the russing straw. and sweet and keen
The lau' liter glad Ger the fans low bur,
