LITTLE INTEREST SHOWN.
Federation Convention Listens to Ju-
rIsdictionai Dispute.

Minneapolis, Nov. 24.-The perenni-
al controversy between the brewers.
the engineers, the fremen and the
Transfers occupied the American Fed
Grafton of Labor during the day. The
brewers contend that all men engaged
directly or indirectly about a brewery
should belong to their union. The
other three organizations contend that
the members of their trades now afili-.
ated with the brewers should belong
to them. Incidental to the main con-
fict are host of local tangles caused
by the admission TO city and state
central bodies representatives of the
unions involved in these jurisdictional
disputes. This is the ninth time this
question has come before the fedora
ton and except for the delegates of
the involved unions little interest was
shown. The net result of three hours
work was to get the four contending
unions deeply involved in a seemingly
hopeless tangle and reduce the con-
vention to state of lethargic indif.
ference.
All hopes Of concluding the business
OF the convention this week have van.
1shed. There are still thirty-nine res.
olutions to be considered by the con-
vention, as well as the disposition of
new business, the selection of meet,

FALL RIVER (MAss.) COTTON
MILL EMPLOYEES GET IN.
t. CREASED WAGES. .r
THREATENED TO QUIT WORK MONDAY
INSISTED ON A FULL RESTORA.
TON OF THE CUT MADE IN
RECENT YEARS. .

Fall River, Nov. 24.-Fall Rivers
cotton mill employees have won a bat
tie for an increase in wages and on
Monday next 10000 operatives will
come under a scale giving them ~
per cent more than the present rate.
The granting of the advance by the
manufacturers prevented strike, the
workmen having voted to stop work In
all mills next Monday if the new
schedule was not accepted.
M. G. D. Borden, an independent
cotton manufacturer employing 5000
operatives, took the lead in meeting
the demands of the mill hands by
announcing that the scale of wages
in his mills would be raised 10 per
cent. No demand had been made on
him and his action practically forced
the other mill managers to grant the
increase.
The new pay scale affects seventy
corporations, operating nlnety-two
mills, besides the Borden plant. The
Manufacturers associations agree
ment to pay the increase is for a
period of six months, but provision is
made for extending It.
Between November, 1908, and July,
1904, the Fall River operatives suf-
fered reductions aggregating 22k per
cent. Last spring part of the cut
was restored and in view of the con-
tinued prosperous business conditions
the operatives demanded complete
RESUMPTION of the 1903 scale.

opinion regarding government owner

phatically. "On the contrary, the
present agitation is going to have ex-
actly the opposite effect. The more
agitation there Is, and the greater the
discussion on these subjects, the more
the people will see the incongruity of
government ownership. The questions
Involved in the transportation prob

result in. better understanding by
the people generally of the conditions

FAMOUS ITALIAN TENOR FOUND
GUILTY OF ANNOYING NEW
YORK WOMEN.
MAGISTRATE IMPOSES FINE OF $40
PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SEVERELY
cRlTlclsEs PRISONER IN
SUMMING UP.

New York, Nov. 24.-Enrico CarusO,
the famous Italian tenor, has been
found guilty Of annoying women in the
Central Park geological garden. A
fine of SO was imposed. The verdict
was rendered by Magistrate Baker In
the Yorkville police court after hear
ing which extended more than three
days. Counsel for Caruso, in clos
Ing argument which consumed nearly
an hour, declared that Caruso was the
victim of a police conspiracy and ap-
pealed to the court not to blast a
great career upon such flimsy evil
dence as had been produced against
the singer. Speaking for the prosecu-
ton Deputy Police Commissioner Ma
thot characterized Caruso as a man
destitute Of moral sense.
Mr.. Mathot said he was not In court
in the interest of the police depart
ment nor to defend Policeman Cain.
Il am here" said Mr.. Mathot, ION be-
half Of women-our wives and daugh-
tiers, to ask you if these panderers
and sexual perverts shall be permitted
to use our public highways and the
parks for the prosecution of their
bestial performances"
Former Judge Dittenhoefer, counsel
tor Caruso, when informed Of the YER
dict said that an appeal would be
taken. The appeal will be heard be-
fore the justices of the court of spe-
cial sessions probably within week.
counseIs' Closing Arguments
At the conclusion of the testimony
Judge Dittenhoefer, in opening his ar
gument for the defense, declared that
it was apparent that the case against
Caruso was entirely a police made
case. The whole case depended upon
the word of Hannah Graham, and they
had failed to produce her in the court
to give that word. Judge Dittenhoef-
or said that Caruso was only one of
many victims of the Central Park
monkey house. THAT place is adrOit-
~ arranged" said he. 1T might have
been designed as place to blast rep
utations of innocent men. All that is
needed is Cain and a woman to aid
him." i
Deputy Police Commissioner Mathot,
in his argument against Caruso, de-
clared that Caruso was a moral per.
vert, who should be kept out of de-
cent society. Mr.. Mathot said that
the reason why Hannah Graham had
not appeared in court was that she
feared to face a crowd, of. perverts
such as commonly attended such a
hearing and such a crowd as was
then present. The spectators in the
courtroom Kissed Mathot at this re-
