LABOR CHAMPIONS
GATHERING
Indications Are That Con-
vention Held at Stockton
Will Be Well Attended
OUTLINE PROGRAMME

STOCKTON, Jan. 8. - Preparations
for the seventh annual convention Of
the State Federation of Labor have
been completed. All day the delegates
have been arriving and tonight enough
are in the city to indicate that few, II
any, of the 225 accredited delegates
will be absent when the opening ses-
sion is called to order tomorrow morn
ing at 10 O'clock.
Secretary-Treasurer James II. Bow
ling has been here for several days
making arrangements for suitable
headquarters for the executive COM
the local committee Of arrangements,
composed Of Messrs. Wood, Wolf,
Tinker, Cunningham and Owens.
The convention will hold daily ses-
sions at Masonic Hall, beginning to-
morrow morning, and the business
which has already been outlined for the
convention to take up will keep it busy
for at least six days. The delegates
will be welcomed at the opening OF
the convention by Mayor Gardner OF
this city, who is doing all in his power
to make the visit of the union labor
representatives to his city pleasant
one.
No previous convention of the State
Federation of Labor has ever been con-
fronted with so many grave problems
as those which will come before the
convention about to assemble. The
questions at issue are vital ones TO
the wage learners of the State, and as
the delegates come from every sec
tion of California and represent varied
interests the discussion OF the prob
lens promises to involve great va
riety of plans.
A large number of delegates favor a
fofa f- ra1x n 10
of the warmest debate in the sessions
of the week-the project of forming
State Union Labor party, devoted 70
the interests of trades unionism, not
politicians. The feasibility OF such a
plan and the best means of accomplish
ing it, If such action is deemed advis-
able by the convention, is subject OF
moment to all unionists-
OF equal Importance to the labor
unionists is the Japanese question, in
which Californians are vitally inter-
ested since President Roosevelts mes
sage There is no doubt that the dele
gates are a unit on this subject and
resolutions which will set forth their
views in unmistakable terms are al
ready in preparation
The federation has grown SO rapidly
in the last year that the salary of the
secretary treasurer is not commen-
surate with the work he has to per-
form and 1t will probably be increased.
A resolution doubling the salary will
be introduced by the San Francisco
delegation.
The visitors will not lack entertain
ment during their stay in Stockton.
Preparations have been made to show
them all the points Of interest in and
around the city. On Wednesday the
members and their friends will be ban
quoted in Masonic Hall and on Friday
a ball is to be given in their honor
Altogether the forthcoming convention
promises to be one OF the most i'm
portant and interesting that has ever
been held by the State Federation OF
Labor

DIFFERENCE ENDS
ITS SESSIONS

PACIFIC GROVE. Jan. e.--The last
session of the students conference of
the Young Mems Christian Association
was held this evening. From the early
morning classes in Bible study to the
farewell word interest was well sus-
tanned.
The speakers at the morning plat
form meeting were r. Zwemer, for four
teen years a missionary In Arabia, and
c. D. Hurrey of Ann Arbor University.
The former selected for his topic St
Pauls statement TO the Ephesians that
Il was small thing for him TO be
judged by them or by mans Judgment
He pointed out that every man had at
least four Judges-the man on the
street, his friends, himself and God
and that the more men tried 10 live
right the more the searchlight OF pub
lie opinion was turned upon them. He
urged his hearers 10 Judge themselves
by the light OF divinely Illuminated
conscience.
The afternoon meeting was led by
Neil Mcmillan Of Chicago, assisted by
Secretary Henderson, Ivan Rhodes, c.
d. Hurrey, DR.. Zwemer and other dele
gates. The leaders in turn related ex-
periences which they deemed valuable
as lessons to the assembled under

appeals to motives Of personal fear
and advising his hearers to be as nat
ural in religious work as in everything
else.

man, who last summer was released
from States prison after serving four
teen years for an attack on Henry c.
Frick following the Homestead, Pa,
riots OF 1892. Emma Goldman and two
others were arrested today by detect
ives who broke up an anarchist meet
ing on the east side. Emma Goldman
made the speech which moved the po-
lice to action, while Berkman exhorted
the audience to disobey the command
TO disperse. The other prisoners are
John r. CoRyell. who presided at the
meeting, and Israel L. Schwartz, a
youth of 16 years. who refused to leave
the hall when it was cleared.
Emma Goldman is charged with a
violation OF that section of the Penal
Code which makes 1t felony to give
utterance from public platform to
incendiary speeches Berkman and
Coryell are held as accessories
Emma Goldman had not proceeded
far in her address when she was inter
rupted by the police. according to which
she said among other things, In Eng
lish:
ut is ridiculous to think society can
not get along without government. We
will say to the Government: Give us
what belongs to us in peace. and if you
do not give it to us in peace we will
take 1t by force AS long as live and
am able to explain myself I will be OPP
posed to government; as long as / live
and my brain dictates 1 will use force
against government"
AS the detectives moved toward the
stage there was a stampede for the
exits, which Berkman tried to stop.
Asked at police Headquarters to de-
fine anarchy" as he understood the
term Berkman said.
Il believe, as an anarchist, In gov
ernment without force. The founda-
tion Of government is force. Society is
perfectly capable OF governing ITSELF"
