Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 12.-Tha
the convention OF the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor. which opens in thi
city this morning, will go on fecor,
in favor Of an aggressive political pol
Icy seems assured. From all parts O
the country delegates are bringing In
reports of success at the polls at the
recent election.
SO far these reports show that at
least five trade unionists will sit In
the next Congress, while a great num-
Der have been elected to the different
state Legislatures.
Most pronounced have been the sue
cess of the United Mine Workers and
the Commercial Telegraphers' Union.
The miners In the anthracite ditrict
OF Pennsylvania have elected w. B.
Wilson and 7. d. Nichols to Congress
and 10 OF their members to the state
Legislature.
The telegraphers elected three OF
their members to Congress In different
parts OF the country, including the
Fourth District OF Illinois. In Henne-
pin county, in this state, 81 out of 80
men Endorsed by labor for the state
Legislature and county officers have
been elected. These successes have
whetted the appetites OF the labor men
ana IL Is the general opinion OF the
delegates who have arrived here that
the convention will devote at least
two days to discussing a political pro
gram.
President Gompers feels greatly en-
couraged over the situation. He saws
ne mas received scores OF letters from |
men outside OF the labor movement |
m which they declare that they never

inionists OF the country stood for in

ENGLISH SHOES GO UNsHINED.
London Observer Admits Truth Of
American Indictment.

An English reporter, fired with pat
riotism on seeing the assertion made
by an American visitor that London
ers polished their boots less frequent
ly than the people of any other coun-
try In the world. set out to disprove
the charge.
He visited a number OF well-known
shoeblacks at important points in
London, but what he learned all tend
ed to confirm the allegation made Dy
the American.
One shoeblack said he had custom
ers who look like millionaires but get
only one shine n week. After hearing
similar stories from other shoeblacks
the newspaper man took up position
in Piccadilly Circus and examined the
boots of passersby.
He confesses that of 80 people who
passed, the boots of 60 looked as II
they had not been polished for a
week. Twelve OF them had their
boots well polished, but he remaining
eight had to be labeled Indifferent
After that, nothing was left but to

1t must have been my mood that
the impression on rue they should

at once and at its full value this char

inattentive | was by saying: Some
thing doing? Something new?"
But he had already gone further
than his notion of friendship war
ranted. So he replied: "Oh, no.

My mind had been all this time on
those Manasquale mining properties.

fact is-well. they're a lot of old

my advice. Do business with them,
but avoid them socially"
Il want to go in there" l insisted.
II have my own reasons. You put

piled, in a tone that implied he wished
to hear no more of the matter.
"You put me up" | repeated. "And
If you do your best. I'll get in all right.
I've got lots of friends theres And
you've got three relatives in the COM
mittee on membership"
At this he gave me queer. sharp
gance-a little fright in 1t.

ing into 1t, Sam. l never take jump

"Youdo better wait a few years,

turned red.
Until what?" said l. Il want you
to speak frankly"
well, you've got lot OF enemies
a lot of fellows who've lost money In
deals you've engineered. And they'd
say all sorts of things"
'T'll take care of that" said /, quite
easy in mind. "Mowbray Langdon's
president, isn't he? Well. he's my

stance that this closest friend" had
never invited me 10 his house. or any
where where I'd meet his uptown as

Sam looked surprised. "Oh, in that
case" he said, IN see what can be
done" But his tone was not quite cor
dial enough to satisfy me.
