SAMUEL GOMPERs PRESIDENT.
Succeeds Himself as Head Of Ameri-
can Federation.

San 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 a great ovation
when he retook the gavel. He prom
ised the delegates to try to do as
much or more for the labor movement
in the future than he had done in the
past. Secretary Frank Morrison and
Treasurer John b. Lennon were unan-
mously chosen to serve for another
year. The following eight vice presi-
dents were reelected: James Duncan,
John Mitchell James O'ConneI, Max
Morris, Thomas l. Kidd, d. A. Hayes,
Daniel j. Keefe and William j. 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 a 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 a 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.
