STAND PAT, SAYS G0MPERs
TELLS uNIoNIsrs TO RESIST
WAGE REDUCTIONS.
President Of the American Federation
Of Labor Makes His Annual
Report.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 13.-The feature
Of the session of the convention of the
American Federation of Labor was
the report of President Samuel Com
pers, who urged the unions to resist
to the uttermost any attempt at wage
reductions.
President Gompers reported that
during the last year 1873 new unions
received charters and there are afili.
ated with the federation the follow
Ing: International unions, III; state
federations, 81; city central bodies,
574; local trade and federal labor
unions, 661.
Regarding membership the report
says: There has been an increase in
the membership in the organizations
comprising our federation Of 1888
during the same period. This leaves
entirely out of account the 10000
members of the brewery workers,
formerly AFFILIATED to our federation. {"
In discussing the Panama canal Mr..
Gompers says reports show the hours
Of labor range from IL to 16 a day.
even in the torrid zone and in mi
asmatic atmosphere. The report
strongly urges the elimination of child
labor in the United States.
The, recent telegraphers strike is
discussed at some length. Mr.. Com
pers said:
1T was clearly the conviction of
those who had experience that the
time for a general strike among the
commercial telegraphers,- no matter
how praiseworthy the cause, was in
opportune, particularly so when
pledges of further concessions had
been made. 1t was at this period that
I advised the officers confidentially.
and as strongly as could. as to the
impracticability of general strike at
that time. / urged them to accept the
offers made and to work for the ex-
tension and strengthening of their or.
ganization, with a view to constant
betterment for the men and: women
who depend for their livelihood upon
the operation Of the. keys. -. =
It has been clearly shown that at least
q tactical mistake has been. made.
Those now intrusted with. the affairs
Of the organization realized. this fact.
1t is my conviction that the strike
will not. however, be devoid of some
influence for good in the condition of
the telegraphers."
Much space is given in the,report to
the suit of the Buck Stove and Range
company of st. Louis against the fed
Grafton as result Of the boycott
against that concern.
Mr.. Gompers thus sums UP the at.
titude Of labor: .'We propose to con-
tend for our rights upon the ground
Of the freedom Of speech, the freedom
Of the press in the case" Of the so.
called boycotts and the right of mans
ownership Of himself Of his labor
power, to sell it or, to withhold 1t,
and to do all lawful things in further
ance Of his interests, whether done
singly or collectively, in case Of lock-
out, strikes or boycotts."
Other important topics treated are
labor injunctions, the union shop, la.
Dor conditions in Cuba and Porto
Rtco.. the eight.hour day, farmers or
ganization, immigration, ship subsi.
dies and the state constitution Of Ok.

FATAL FALL OF CONCRETE.

Under this title Wilbur Bassett writes
in the February Technical World Mag
azine a brief story and study of the
recent disaster at the Bixby Hotel in
Long Beach, Cal, in which a dozen men
lost their lives. In the spreading en-
thusiasm for concrete construction
which has covered this country during
the last few years. this fatal accident
has made a decided check, and the
opinions Of engineers. architects ana
contractors are widely at variance as
to the cause or causes of the disaster.
The coroner's jury of Los Angeles
county" says the author. has found
that the cause of the death Of the
workman was the falling of cement
work. caused by the premature removal
of part of the timbers supporting the
fifth floor. and proceeding with the
construction of the roof before the sup
portfng cement beneath was properly
set. The jury failed To find any Grim
inal liability. the evidence tending TO
show that eighteen days might be con-
sidered time for the proper curing OF
cement in ordinary cases. The con-
tractor is inclined to think that his
work was well and properly done. ana
that the break was caused by shifting
of the base columns which rest IN ocean
sand not far from high water. Inc
architect is just as positive that the
base columns did not shift and that the
cement work was faulty
In view of the interest in concrete
work in general and this failure Of it in
particular. this article is timely and OF
great interest, presented as it IS IN
non technical form.

A cHIlD'S FAITH.

The American Magazine for Febru-
airy contains an account OF a little
3-year-old girl who has almost as many
friends as President Roosevelt has cor
respondents. Aside from taken-for-
granted friends like father and mother.
she enjoys affectiOnate and confidential
relations with the following: the black
man with white fur" tthis being her
description of the old silver-haired ne
gro who cleans the steps across the
way). the Doctor OF Divinity who slides
her up and down the railing every
morning. the pigeons. the squirrels. the
statues of Washington and Everett IN

man. the other children-everybOdy IN

II is a blessing that little boys and
girls have neither the time nor the IN
telligence to grasp the meaning OF Inc
Atchison Globes wise remark: Inc
reason children think they have so
many friends is that they never need
them And there is no harm in re-
peating the remark in this very con-
nection. for if the children should get
wind of it they wouldn't believe it-no
more than they credit the Jruest thing
in the bible: ITO him that hath shall
be given. and TO him that hath not
shall be. taken away even that which

Like giIt-scaled serpents glide the twift

A thousand lights are jewelled in her

The sea her girdle and her crown the

Her veins abound. the fevered pulses

Immense. defiant. breathless she stands
there
And ever listens in the ceaseless din
Waiting for him, her lover who shall

Whose singing lips shall boldly

The splendor and the madness and the

Her dreams in iron and her

0Nt HUNDRED YEARS
OF SAVINGS CONCERNS
The Savings Bank Plan First Develop
ed in the Course of a Four Hours
Talk in 1907.

Boston. Feb. s Especial Correspond

this month. there arose in the British
Parliament Samuel Whitehead. veal

Commons. he Of whom the great re-

Mr.. whitehead was speaking in favor
of a broad and comprehensive Poor
Laws Amendment bill. In the course
of a four-hour. discussion he had time
to consider a great many of the needs
of the working men Of his day.
Among his digressions was one
which was destined to have a particu-
larry noble after-effect. that in which
the progressive orator outlined what he
believed 10 be aworkable system Of
safe and profitable investment Of the
savings of the poor. He told the house
of various isolated attempts TO take
care of the hoardings Of working girls;
of schemes devised by country parsons
for investing the savings of their par
ishioners in such a way as to secure
for them a return for their thrift Out
OF these cratic undertakings he was
certain that a great national system
could be devised; and he argued at
length the reasons for his belief

THE LovELIesT OF SPIDERS.

The queen of spiders-the largest
handsomest, and most capable work
man of her tribe-is the Orange-yellow
and black creature known as Orange
Argiope. Hers are. the most beautiful
cobwebs made. hung low to catch the
innumerable insects required for a
rather large appetite, and you find
them among the bushes and vines and
in the fields. DR.. Henry c. McCook,
president of the American Entomolog-
ical Society. describes her habits and
haunts in a charming article in the
February Harper's magazine. Argiope,
as the author relates. captures and ties
up her victims as ably as a cowboy
might do with lasso. ana she excels
the cowboy by manufacturing her own
rope as she goes.

FORGOTTEN HISTORY.
How President lincoln's Last Years
Were Saddened by Bitterness
and Malignity.

In the exalted situation, almost
equivalent to the apotheOsis, in which
posterity has placed Washington and
Lincoln there are few who call to
mind the fact that while the great
mass Of the people manifested TN
bounded devotion to them. scarcely
any other presidents have been so
much traduced and so bitterly assailed
while in office.
As his first term was drawing to a
close. the bitterness and malignity
with which President Lincoln had been
constantly assailed reached their eli
max. Bitter and relentless as had
been the assaults of men of the great
party directly opposed to him, their
virulence did not exceed that of men
of his own.
One Of the worst malcOntents was
in his own cabinet Able as he was,
the secretary Of the treasury. in his
vaulting ambition to succeed his chief
in the great Office could not restrain
himself from such carping criticism,
malevolent fault-fi finding. and, finally,
antagonism. as to render his position
intolerable both to the President and
to himself.
This antagonism to President Lin
coin finally materialized in an organ
ization among Republicans to defeat
him for COMMUNICATION why
