est hope that Russia would forthwith
conclude peace with Japan. Prolonga-

result in victory for the Russian arms

MINING CONGRESS
COVENES TODAY

Ell PAS0; Texas, Nov. 13-Tht
American Mining congress opens here
tomorrow morning in regular annual
session, with guarantee of large at
tendance the city being filed with de-
legates.
The meeting promises TO be unusu-
ally interesting this year for the reason
that the question of the creation of a
department of mines and minerals in
the President IS cabinet will be discus
sed.
The convention will also discuss the
matter of uniform mining laws among
the various states and it is certain
that committees will be named to call
on the governors of the various states
and urge them to include in their next
message to the legislatures of their re-
spective commonwealth the advisable
ity of uniformity of such laws amongI
the various states of the union. The
will probably draft a bill
which each state will he asked to adopt.
There is a movement coming to the
front to make the organization strictly
a business one. At present delegates
are named by governors. chambers of
commerce, mayors, etc, but there is a !
sentiment among the delegates to do !
away with this and have the delegates
to future congresses elected by their
respective state associations, thus
making them all practical mining
men, which is not now in every in
stance the case.
Purely technical papers will only be
read by caption during the progress of

PRESIDENT GOMPERS
REVIEWS LABOR'S
PROGRESS
American Federation in Annual
SeSSion---"Industria1 Workers"
Given A Rap

! PITTSBURG, Pa, Nov. 18th
American Federation of Labor as
sembled in annual convention here TO
day to celebrate its silver jubilee il
, the city where the organization wa.
given blrtlh twenty-five years ago. More
than 500 delegates filed the old City
hall, when the convention was called
to order at 10 O'Clock this morning.
They represented all organized crafts
and came from all parts of the United
States and Canada. President Samuel
Gompers delivered his annual address
to the delegates, and Secretary Frank
Morrison and Treasurer John B. Len
non presented their annual statements.
The convention got into working order
before an adjournment was taken late
this afternoon. Owing to the unusual
Importance of some of the matters to
come up for consideration it will be
ten days and possibly longer before the
business of the convention is con-
Guided
President Gompers' address was the
feature of the day. 1t showed that the
federation continues to gain in mem
bership at a gratifying rate. Presi-
dent Gompers reviewed briefly the
history and progress of the organiza
ton since its formation in Pittsburg
twenty-five years ago, and congratulate
ed the convention upon the outlook for
the future. The remainder of his
address was devoted to numerous re-
He referred to the
great awakening in Russia, claiming
that the results so far attained in the
land of the Car and others of an equal
ly benefcent nature that are to follow
were brought about by the labor agi-
tatiOns rersistently carried on in that
country. Mr., Gompers took occasion
to rap the new Socialist movement
organized in Chicago last year, and

known as the industrial workers of tn,
world. A strong recommendation fol
Chinese exclusion and the further re
/ striction of European immigration was
contained in the address. Other mat
tiers referred to Mr.. Gompers were the
eight hour day, sweat shops, child labor
and Federation injunctions. The
work of organizing labor and dis
seminating labor propaganda COM
prised the remainder of Mr.. Gompers
address.
President Gompers occupied more
than two hours in delivering his adj
dress. Its salient points were greeted
with loud applause, and when he had
finished he received an ovation which
lasted several minutes.
Frank Morrison, secretary of the fed
GRAFTON, presented his annual report,
which showed that the membership is
fast approaching the two and half
million mark. The report of Treasurer
John B. Lennon contained figures show
ing the financial affairs of the organ
ization to be in a satisfactory con
dition.
The present convention, while regard
ed as one of the most important ever
held by the federation, promises at the
same time to be one of the most harmo-
NOUS. The socialist element, which
came to the fore several years ago, and
created a spirit of dissension, has al
most entirely disappeared, so far as its
influence is concerned, and President
Gompers and the other officers are as
sured of reelection by en- almost I'M
animous vote, The OILY serious dis
pute to come before thc convention is
the matter of jurisdiction between the
Carpenters unions and the Woodwork
ers' unions. Denver and one or two
other cities are campaigning for the
next convention.

CHICAGO WOULD
OWN STREET
CARS

CHICAGO, Nov. 13-Another ordin.
ancS providing for steps to secure
municipal ownership of the street rail-
ways of Chicago was submitted to the
city council today by Mayor Dunno.
The ordinance was accompanied by a
message to the aldermen, which gave
three ways in which Dunno asserts he
VIII be able to bring about municipal
ownership. The first plan is by reach
ing an agreement with the traction
companies by which their property may
be transferred to the city at a price to
be decided by arbitrator.
The second is by condemnation of the
property of the street railway CON-
panies under the provisions of the
Mueller act.
The third method is that which the
mayor has already presented as an al
tentative of his contract plan. 1t is
for the construction of municipal street
railway lines which will parallel the
lines of existing companies.
