LABOR IN POLITICS
AMERICAN FEDERATION ALMOST
UNANIMOUSLY ENDORSES
PRESIDENT ooMpERs.

Minneapolis, Nov. 21.--Amid scenes
Of enthusiasm the American Fedora
ton of Labor, which IL holding its
annual convention here, endorsed the
political policy of President Gompers
during the last campaign and urged
a continuance of activity along indie
pendent lines, strongly c~ondemning,
however, the idea of afilidting with
any special party and going on record
as opposed to forming a national la
Dor party.
Throughout the sessions of the fed
GRAFTON politics have been continually
referred TO indirectly and early in the
convention it became evident that
nothing would come up of more inter
est to the delegates and when the com
mittee on the presidents report at the
opening of the afternoon session made
a favorable recommendation regarding
active participation of workingmen in
electing friends of labor as legislators
the delegates entered into a consider
alton of the matter with a vim that
carried the session past the usual hour
of adjournment and it was not until
Z o'clock in the evening, after a on
tinuous session since 2 o'clock in the
afternoon that the delegates were
ready to go on record by casting a
vote on the committees recommends
ton, but when they did vote it was
practically unanimous in favor of its
adoption.

Man Swept Over Falls

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y. Nov. 81
An unknown man was swept over the
Horseshoe falls in q small boat this
afternoon after a daring attempt had
been made to save him. An employe
of the Ontario Power company first
saw the little craft coming down the
river in the grasp of the swift current.
The occupant, a man, was standing
up, f%rantically waving his hands.
Two rowboats started down the Chip
pewa river toward the Niagara to at.
tempt a rescue at the mouth of the
small stream.
The were far behind what
is considered the danger line, but a
cross current carried the unfortunat
man away from them toward Goat is.

would.be rescuers were by this time in
q perilous position, and it was with
great difficulty that they succeeded in
reaching shore.

Resolution No. 2 was adopted as
follows:
Whereas, The principal railro adj
operating in Montana are virtu ally
controlled by one man and apparently
are conducted for his aggrandisement
without proper regard for the produc-
ers and consumers who occupy the
country, and
Whereas, A railroad is q common
carrier that derives its power to OPP
crate from the people, be it
Resolved, That We request those
servants of the people, the members
of the tenth Montana legislative as
sembly:
First, To devise stringent laws for
the protection of all shippers and par
ticularly the shippers of perishable
property such as livestock of all
kinds, and make the penalty 10 ex.
IRENE cases Imprisonment as we'll as
fine.
Second, Establish a board Of rail-
road commissioners to regulate and
control those corporations within this
state, until such a time as the growing
enIightment of the people will enable
them to fully realize that those great
utilities are their own without further
price than the misery they have here
tOfore endured from that source. Such
a board should be non.partisa an in
character, it should be representative
OF the leading industries of the state,
and only men of Independent means
and character and known integrity
should be upon it.
Resolution No 3 was adopted as
follows:
Whereas, The present livestock
sanitary laws are in many particulars
SO imperfect and vague as to render
them of little or 20 value in practical
operations, be it
Resolved, That the state board of
stock commissioners, the state board
OF sheep commissioners and the state
veterinarian meet and devise new laws
covering those matters, and that their
findings be presented to the legisla-
tive assembly for enactment into law,
and that the old laws relating to the
same be repealed.

Coal Famine In West

SALT LAKE, Nov. .. A coal
famine such as the country has never
before known is upon all the cities Of
the west and northwest, and the peo.
pie, long patient with the troubles
such as famine brings them, are on
the verge Of rebellion against condi-
tions for which only the rapacity of
the railroads is responsible. Salt
Lake, Los Angeles, Goldields, Spo.
kane. Seattle, Butte, Tacoma and a
hundred other towns and cities are in
the grip Of the same famine.
The mines about Salt Lake are not
running to full capacity, and the only
reason offered therefor is the fact
that the railroads will not supply
cars. Even when the lines do supply
cars there is no certainty that they
will arrive at their destination. for the
roads have a pleasant little way OF
co~ntiscatiug the consigumeuts and
using them in their own business.
Although the coal carrying lines
swear by all their locomotives that
the shortage Of ~ is not their fault,

To Rebuild Great Bridge.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The daily
crush of the Brooklyn bridge is re.
ceiving the early attention of Mayor
Mcclellan and other city officials. At
a conference yesterday, important
plans for temporary and permanent
relief were discussed. Longer trains
and increased Roadway, it is expected
will bring temporary relief.
Plans for permanent relief include
an almost entire rebuilding of the
bridge. Double.decking will probably
be resorted to in order to make room
for additional lines of railroad tracks.
The engineers have informed the
mayor that the stress on the anchor
bars is only a third of their capacity,
and that the double.decking of the
structure is entirely feasible. This
form Of relief, however, will be u mat.
ter of years. Disgraceful scenes a,
the terminals during what are known
as ''rush'' hours have led to a strong
public demand for relief from presen,
conditions.

RAILROADS WILL ECONOMIC
Millions Will BE saved by Reducing Gus,
OF Operation.

CHICAGO. Nov. 21-The railroads
OF the eutire country have decided to
lnaugurate al era OF most rigid econ.
omy, according to The Record Herald.
The plans which have been decided
upon will result in a decrease of ex-
penditures within the next twelve
months of between $50, 900. 600 and
S'2o,OOO.OOO. as compared with the
sums spent during the year just clos.
ing.
The railroad presidents declare they
have been forced into the adoption of
this policy in self.defense. The sub.
ject OF expenditures has been the topic
OF discussion at gatherings of execu-
tive officials ia Chicago and in the
east tor the past three months. The
subject vas discussed here yesterd ay
at a meeting of the officials, when
every railroad represented gave in.
form alton regarding the expenditures
planned for the coming year. In the
aggregate, it was found that among
the roads having headquarters at Chi.
cago the decrease il expenditures
would be fully $780, 600, 900. The ex-
penditures referred to are what are
known among railroad arrangements
as extra" and are for extension OF
lines, building Of spurs, sidetracks,
new engine houses and the betterment
of roadbed and track.
The reasons assigned by the rail.
road men for this move in economy
are increased demands of labor which
will cost the railroads between $50,
600, 900 and 500, 900, 600 in excess OF
wages paid last year: increased cost
OF all supplies and materials: scarcity
OF labor, making it almost impossible
to secure men for extension of old
lines or the construction of new: in
ability to get supplies promptly, the
general tendency Of freight rates,
which, it is claimed, is downward,
while the price of everything else is
increasing: uncertainty regarding the
effect of the rules of the interstate
commerce commissions: increasing diff.
iculty in securing money to invest in
railway ventures with which 10 carry
on improvements and continued public
agitation which is alleged to be hos.
tile to corporations and to railroads
especially.
