San Francisco, Nov. 19.-At to-day's
session Of the American Federation of
Labor a number of resolutions TO make
the union label more effective were
adopted. In this connection the dele
gates were urged to adopt a universal
label and organize a league to fur
Their this end.
A proposition to ask the secretary
of commerce and labor to appoint an
arbitration board for the settlement OF
all strikes was lost by a unanimous
vote. There was but little debate on
the question, the concensus of opinion
being that the adoption of the meas
ure would mean compulsory arbltra-
ton, and the speakers declared that
labor had little to hope for from such.
A proposition to have labor unions all
over the country and invite members
of local boards of health to lecture to
them on the best means of Graduating
tuberculosis was unanimously approved
by the convention.

SECOND PLACE

1t develops today from reliable
sources that Senator George Turner
has come to an understanding with
the Hartman interest in the state
and with the Rockefellers, in some
of whose enterprises he Is attorney.
and that as a result, while the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific inter-
ests will be for Mead, the o. r. & NJ,
Hartman and Rockefeller interests
will support Turner.
Whether this Is a result of the re-
cent visit of George Stevenson or
whether 1t is brought about by some
other agency is not known.
Another report in circulation Is
that Turner has made terms with
Blackman, the commissioner Of Ia
Dor for the state. and that the Turner
people will attempt through this
means to take the Spokane county Ia
Dor vote away from Byrne with a
promise to support Blackman for
lieutenant governor. 1t is said that
Blackman is in accord with railroad
policies and that his nomination for
lieutenant governor will be supported
not only by Turner and his friends
but by the Rockefeller interests.

TRAIN runs INTO A
WAGON

The Central Washington train on
leaving the city this morning struck
one of the wagons belonging to the
Northern Pacific Express company and
as a result one of the horses will
likely have to be killed as a result
of its injuries.
Z. II. Henton, the driver, had just
turned onto the track off Madison
street when he saw the train coming.
He jerked on the lines but the horses
also heard the train and became
frightened and refused to obey the
reins. Try as he would Henton could
not turn the horses far enough out Of
the way to save the outfit.
The oncoming train struck one of
the horses on the shoulder, knocked
it down and run over its foot. 1t also
struck the wagon a glancing blow and
turned it over on its side. When the
train passed the horses tried to get
up and run but only the uninjured
animal got to its feet. He bucked and
plunged and fell again, all tangled
up with the harness. With the assis-
tance Of bystanders Henton, who for

Mr.. President and Gentlemen of the
Convention: We are here to inaugur-
ate campaign which seems already
to be nearly closed. So wisely have
the people sowed and watched and
tended, there seems little now to do
but to measure up the grain. They
are ranging themselves not for battle,
but for harvest. In one column reach
ing from the Maine woods to the
Puget sound are those people and
those states which have stood so long
together, that when great emergen-
cies arise the nation turns instinct
lively to them. In this column, vast
and solid, is majority so over
whelming that the scattered squads
in opposition can hardly raise another
army. The ehvlhy has neither guns
nor ammunition, and If they had they
would use them on each other. Desti-
tute of the weapons of effective war;
fare. the only evidence of approach
Of their bulletins. There is discord
among the generals; discord among
the soldiers. Each would fight in his
own way. but before assaulting his
republican adversaries he would first
destroy his own comrades in the ad-
joining tents. Each believes the
weapons chosen by the other are not
only wicker but fatal to the holder.
That is true. This Is the only war
of modern times where the boomer
ang has been substituted for the gun.
Whatever fatalities may occur, how

COLONY OF OWLS
STARTLE STRANGERS

Los ANGELES, Cal, June 2S.-On
southern California, Is a queer colony
It Is situated In the cliffs which rise
above the surface of the river and
has a multitude OF Inhabitants. In
passing along the river by daylight
one would not imagine that the cliffs
members Of the colony are fast asleep
In the chambers Of the cliffs. But
at dusk there Is a change. At every
one OF the openings with which the
cliffs are perforated appears coun-
tenance so human-like in its express
inc that these must be the faces Of
the pixies and elves Of whom he de-
lighted to hear in his childhood days.
The tiny faces belong to family
having name nearly as large as the
individuals are small. 1t is the fam
lily Of strix pratincola. or monkey
faced owl. So much do their faces
resemble the human features that
they are often called the human faced
owl. In the holes OF the cliffs they
pass their days and rear their young.
At night they emerge In focks and
search the fields for mice, gophers
and insects. upon which they live.
This owl does not hoot. as do most
owls, but utters low chucklins
whistle as It flies about in search OF
prey.
Farmers and fruit raisers In south
ern California are the warm friends
Of the bird. for It destroys many OF
the pests which annoy them and In,
jure their crops. The eggs of thu
little owl are white and f~e or sir

last night that the Overland express
