LABOR MEN ARE
AGAINST TAFT
Federation of Labor Convenes Today
in Norfolk Socialists After Gompers' Head.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 11.-With
President Samuel Gompers presid-
ing, the twenty-seventh annual con-
vention of the American Federation
of Labor was called to order at 10
O'Clock this morning in the James,
town exposition auditorium. Hun
dreds of delegates are here, repre-
senting all the national and inter-
national labor unions AFFILIATED with
the Gompers body, and Learly all
state federatiOns and central bodies
Many matters of great interest are
to come before the convention, and
several sharp lights for supremacy In
the organization are expected before
the session has completed Its busi-
hess. All regular sessions will be
held at the Armory hall, In the city
of Norfolk. Governor Swanson and
officials of the city government, the
exposition and labor bodies OF Nor.
folk and Virginia participated in the
opening session.
1t Is thought that, before the pres
ent convention has adjourned, the
American Federation OF Labor Will
go on record as being opposed to the
presidential aspirations of Secretar.
Taft. President Gompers has char
acterized the secretary OF war at "tht
injunction candidate for president,

pers, ito constantly further en-
croach upon the personal rights and
liberties of our citizens, when these
citizens are workingmen."
1t is likely that President Samuel
Gompers will have the struggle Of
life to maintain his place at the
head of the workihgmen's forces of
the country. Socialists and other
disgruntled ones in the labor ranks
have commenced a systematic agita-
ton against the reelection OF Com
pers. They also demand general
new set OF officials. including the
members of the executive council.
The friends of Gompers are conf
dent that they will re-elect him. With
the exception of one term, Gompers
has been at the head of the fedora
tion for a score of years.
Another importent subject of dis
cussion will be the publication of the
unfair" or I'VE don't patronize''
list in the official organ, now the
subject of an injunction suit brought
by st. Louis concern. The action
of the federation officials in suspend
ing the United Brewery Workers OF
America is bitterly condemned by
some delegates, and several unions
have announced that unless the brew

Washington, Nov. 11.-By direc
tion of President Roosevelt. a dozel
army officers will be hauled befor'
a retiring board presided over b.
Brigadier General John M. X. Davis
to meet at Washington Barracks to
morrow. This Is the first result o
the presidents famous order to tes
the horsemanship of army officers
become a serious matter for man,
army officers.
The twelve officers who will ap
pear before the retiring board to
morrow were not selected because
they had failed In the actual tes,
of horsemanship. They were never
permitted to attempt it. In the ar
rangements by the general staff fol
carrying out the presidents order II
was ordered that all officers liable
to this trial should submit to a pre-
liminary physical examination. These
are the men whom the surgeons re-
ported as unfit to undertake the if
teen-mile ride.
Now they are ordered before a re-
tiring board, with their cases pre-
judiced by that adverse report. and
hardly one of them hopes to escape
the decapitating. The list includes
two of the best-known officers of the
quartermaster's department, a coast
artilleryman of high professional
efficiency; distinguished ordinance
officer, and two engineers, who have
devoted many years to river aid har-
Der work.
In the cases of the engineers, re-

that they will be detailed as retired
officers to active service on the same

years. They will continue to re-

| vancement to the grade of general
will be ended.
Although it is announced at the
war department that the board will
retire no officers whom 1t judges can
in their present position benefit the
service, the possibility of retirement
and the embarrassment of being
branded poor rider" or of being
advertised as a physically deficient
officer, has caused a great furry in
army circles. Many officers occupy
| ing desk positions are uneasy and
alarmed.
The dozen officers ordered before
the board tomorrow represent only
the first lot who have been unable to
fulfill the requirements of the presi-
dents riding order. When the rites
throughout the country are completed
many more will undoubtedly be add
ed to the list. Reports received at
the department indicates that several
officers in different parts of the coun-
try have had to give up after few
miles in the saddle.
In the list of twelve officers who
will appear before the retiring board
tomorrow are three colonels, three
lieutenant colonels and six majors.
The co1onels are James. M. Marshall.
assistant quartermaster general. who
would retire for age March 81 next;
Henry L. Harris, of the coast artil-
lery. who has yet two years to serve,
and William L. Marshall, Of the en-
gineers corps. who is not due to re-
tire for four years. The lieutenant
colonels are William w. Robinson,
Jr., deputy quartermaster general;
William T. Rossell, of the engineers.

Dear Sir: A pound of good meat and
no bone is worth more than a half found
of meat and a half pound of bone; but
there are, as you say, a great many peo-
pie who won't pay more than a certain
price by the pound. Give 'em bone;
that's right; give 'em plenty of bone!
There are people who won't pay more
than $3.50 gallon for paint; give 'em
bone!
There's no better school than expert
ence; cost is high; but the lesson is
never forgotten.
Let man paint two houses alike, same
size; one Devoe, the other that $3.50
paint. He buys ten gallons of each and
pays S3 day for lsbor-S3 day is So q
gallon, easier reckoning.
He has to buy two gallons more of the
$3.50 paint, and has two gallons left of
Devoe; IL gallons S1.5O. s1s; 8 gallons
$1.75, SD; 81 more for "cheap" paint.
He pays 81 gallon for painting; gal
Ions $24; IL gallons $50; SIP moro for
painting "cheap" paint.
He'll buy the less gallons: .:paint after
that. If people are slow to learn, it's
because they keep on buying bono meat.
Give 'em plenty of bone.

Blue Ridge Bonds Case in Court.

Washington, April 25.--Henry A. NJ.
Smith, of Charleston, receiver for the
State bank, now defunot, Ia still trying
to prevent State Treasurer .Isnnipga
from executing the order to write $37 900
Of old Blue Ridge Railroad bonds off the
books of the State of South Carolins.
The case was argued to-day before tho
United States Supreme Court on an ap-
peal from the Supreme Court Of South
Carolina, which refused to issue tho In
junction. T. w. Bacot, of Charleston,
represented the petitioner and receiver,
and Chas. A. Douglass and K. b. Sheriff.
represented the. State Of South Carolina.
The bonds in question are not to be
confused with the. noted Blue Ridge
script bonds. which were repudiated. In
1854 South Carolina isaued 81, 200, 900
in. bonds Of thousand dollars each for
the aid Of the Blue Ridge railroad. The
State bank, in Columbia, became tho
owner of 100 of these bonds, all of which,
in 1885, Sherman'a army took and carried
away. Some Of tho bonds were recov-
cred by the bank sud paid. A receiver
was appointed in 1870 to take charge Of
the affairs of the bank and an aot passed
that none of the bonds should be paid
except to this receiver. The receiver
got hold of all the bonds but 81 and they
were paid by the State. These out
standing bonds matured July l, 1879,
but up to 1895 they had not been found
and the General Assembly passed an act
that after 20 years from the date of ma
turity no bonds should be paid. But
these 81 bonds, worth $4,000, remained
on the books Of the State Treasurer as I.
debt against the State. In 1902 the Gene
raj Assembly passed resolution order
ing the treasurer to write this debt off
the books.
1t was to prevent this that Henry A..
NJ. Smith, receiver for the State bank,
asked for an Injunction and it was to-day
placed before the Supreme Court of the
United States to decide.
