LABOR To CONTINUE
IN POLITICS.
Federation Indorses the
Plan of Samuel Gompers
to Direct the Union Vote
NO ACTION ON LABEL

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 13.-The second
days session of the twenty-sixth an
nual convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in this city was full Of
interest The question of a universal
label design was referred to the con-
vention of 1907. This action, however,
was not taken until after a lively dis
cussion The cigarmakers. printers
and hatters led the opposition to gem
eral label, claiming that they had spent
much money in advertising their re-
spective labels and were deriving much
benefit as result, which would be lost
were the federation to adopt a new
general label.
President Gompers' plan of creating a
union strength was indorsed by the
convention when 1t approved the re-
port of First Vice President James
Duncan, in which he sanctioned the
policy Of Gompers.
The recent political activity of the
federation occupied prominent place
in the report of the executive council.
The report defined the attitude of or
ganized labor toward politics. Accord
ing to the report the total sum received
for campaign purposes was ss056; the
total expenditure being 1884
The American Federation, the report
says. does not contemplate the forma-
ton of a distinct political party. 1t
does not intend to dictate the party
membership of any union man. It does
propose to suggest from time to time
legislative measures of advantage to
labor and to secure the nomination and
election of Representatives and SEN
ators favorable to their enactment.
I'VE have never opposed politics in
our organiza ton says the report,
though we have always opposed parti-
san politics. Independent voting with
an eye single to the interests of labor
is urged upon all members of the afflli-
ated unions"
The report shows that an alliance has
been formed with the Farmers Educa-
tional Alliance for mutual support, and
that an effort has been made to secure
government statistics on woman and
child labor.
On the question of dozen or more
controversies between rival organiza-
tions in similar trades. which have
long vexed the federation, the commit
tee reported no progress. but declared
that when such internal dissensions
were carried to such length as to in
convenience employers who were dis
posed to be fair to labor, the limit had
been reached.
After a lively discussion the con-
vention decided to take a half holi-
day on Saturday.
Tonight the federation leaders ad-
dressed a mass meeting of union men
in the city.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TIE CALL
wAsHNGToN. Nov. I3.-There has
been much serious. discussion among
national Democrats here regarding the
political future OF William Randolph
Hearst since tie New York elections.
The general opinion OF wise Demo
Gratis is that Hearsts defeat removes
him for the time being. II not perma-
nentlY. from he list Of Presidential
possibilities.
New York politicians have no idea
Of the intense interest which the New
York campaign created through the
states. II is necessary for them 10
come to some place like Washington,
where politicians gather from all over
the country. 10 realize that much more
was al stake in that contest than a
mere Governorship. Southern Demo
Gratis, almost without exception. agree
that Il Hearst had defeated Hughes
he would have had more than an even
chance TO beat William Jennings
Bryan for the Presidential nomination
two years hence.
II is noticeable that Hearsts defeat
gives general satisfaction 10 national
Democrats. Senators and Representa-
tives from the South express relief at
the way the New York contest ended.
At the same time they concede that
the country has not heard the last Of
Hearst by any means.

EUREKA UNION SAILORS ARE
WORKING WITH NoN-UNIoNIsTs
Trouble Likely to Result Owing to
Seeming Contradictory Action to
the Strike Agreement.

EUREKA. Nov. 13.-Trouble is brew
ing here an aftermath of the ship
ping strike. and this is owing to a con-
f1ict of authority between the Sailors
Union at San Francisco and the agent
here. Sorenson. Seemingly in contra
diction to the settlement made at San
Francisco, which permits union sailors
to take lumber. from non-union long
shoremen, Sorenson yesterday called
out the crew of the steam schooner
Despatch, which was to have been
loaded by the Humboldt Stevedoring
Company of the Millmens Association.
The company complained of the move
of Sorenson to the headquarters of the
Sailors Union. The union notified Sor-
enson that he must return the men to
the vessel. Sorenson obeyed and the
union sailors are now working with
non-union stevedores.

WORKING To SOLVE
NEGRO PROBLEM.
Delegates to Assembly at
Nashville Discuss Ways
to Settle Race Question
RURAL POLICE PLAN

NASHVILLE. Nov. 13.-The Southern
Quarantine and Immigration Conven-
ton, which at noon today assumed its
new title of Southern immigration and
Industrial Association. concluded its
business tonight Governor Hayward
of South Carolina was elected president
of the association.
The sentiment of the delegates is
largely in favor of welcoming any de-
sirable class of white immigrants,
without regard TO nationality, yet there
appears at times some desire to keep
the black man, with all his faults,
where he is.
Asletter from John Sharp Williams
IN which he expressed the belief that
the solution OF the race question might
be found in preconcerted effort to
bring white people of the right sort
into the South as servants, tenants and
farmers, was read. Williams advocated
the formation OF a land company with
a capital Of at least s1,ooo,0oo to buy
lands throughout the cotton States and,
sell them to desirable immigrants. A
hopeful symptom, Williams said. is the
fact that the negro birth rate In the
country is decreasing remarkably,
while the birth rate of the white people
where in the world.
Williams recommended the establish
ment of mounted rural police after the
Cape Colony and Canadian system.
The political phase of the negro
problem we have pretty well worked
out to an extremely satisfactory ISSUE"
he said, and he recommended a limita-
tion of the franchise to the white race
He prophesied that similar action
would be taken a generation hence in
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. He also IA
vored the rigid enforcement of va
grancy laws. The Importation of de-
sirabIe white immigrants from foreign
countries and the North was also sug-
gested-
N F. Thompson Of Chattanooga ad-
vocated the strictest enforcement Of the
vagrancy laws, with a suspension of
sentence in case the negro would go to
the Panama canal
II would have the world know that
this race problem has it's most fertile
source of perpetuity in the efforts of
politicians, who find most efficient
hobby on which to ride into politics and
power" said Thompson. When there
are no elections In the South we hear
very little about this race matter. The
enforcement of the vagrancy laws uni
formly all over the South will tend
largely to the elimination of the idle
negro

HosMER's, FRIENDS AT WORK.
Members of the Bar VIII Take a Hand
in Pushing Election Contest.

-
Preparations are being made for a
vigorous contest between Judges. Hos
mer and Mogan for the position of
Judge Of the Superior Court. Hosmer's
friends are focking to his aid, and are
planning to do everything in their
power TO get him seated. Many mem
bers of the bar. realizing that il would
be hard for Judge Hosmer to stand
the entire expense of the contest, are
preparing to put UP money to help him.
II Hosmer fails to win in the con-
test 1t is quite certain now that he
will get the appointment to I'LL Judge
Kerrigan's place when the latter re-
signs to be Justice of the District Court
of Appeal It is believed sure that
Kerrigan will be able to retain his
present position until Gillett becomes
Governor. and IL through some legal
technicality il should become necessary
for him to resign while Pardee is still
in Office. there is reason to believe that
the latter will do as Governor Gage
did near the expiration of his term,
show a courtesy to his successor by de-
clining to make an appointment
The same influential lawyers that are
endeavoring to get Hosmer safely
through the election contest are using
their power with Governor elect Gill
lett in behalf of Hosmer, and accord
ing to many indications their efforts
will not be in vain. The election con-
test will have been settled long before
Judge Kerrigan's position is made va
