NO GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
Federation Says 1t Would Do Ava,
With Labor Strikes.

NORFOLK. Va, Nov. 1S.-The
American Federation of Labor Satur-
day, by a vote of 154 to 46, refused to
place itself on record as favoring the
government ownership of railroads and
mines. The question came up on a
resolution offered by Herbert Cham
berlain of the Amalgamated Carpen-
ters, to amend the economic platform
adopted at Minneapolis last year, so
as to include railroads and mines in
the favorable action taken at that
time on the Standardization of tele-
graph and telephone properties.
The opponents took the ground that
the ownership of mines and railways
would prevent all strikes no matter
how peacefully they might be con-
Quoted and that with federal govern
mont opposed to labor. it might prove
a death blow.
Victor L. Berger of Milwaukee. rhe
socialistic leader. led the fight for gov
ernment ownership. Delegate Feeley of
Milwaukee declared that the way to
make the government favorable to la
bor was by ballot, and said that II
this was properly used "men in power

monkey dinners at Newport would be

Another important action by THIS
convention was the increasing of the

from $4,000 to $4,000. that of Secretary
Morrison from s2500 to $4,000 and OF
Treasurer Lennon from $500 to Seoo.

FLAYS GRAFTERS.
lid Says They Are Hast
hing Socialism.
Cove

CLENELAN Nov 1S.-Gover-
nor Guild of Ms achusetts made a
few plain and unvarnished statements
at the Cleveland board of trade dinner
Saturday night regarding the duties
of business men.
The one danger most business men
face with horror" he said, lis social
ism. The strongest argument for gov
ernment ownership, the argument of
despair, is that of state ownership is
the only relief from graft. The man
who is doing more for socialism, COM
munism ard anarchy today than any
other is the highly respectable man
who buys legisla ton.
1T is the practice among some men
to scott at trial by jury as a farce and
to cite certain verdicts as ridiculous.
How many business men can honestly
say they have never shirked jury du-
ty?
You ask governor to stand up
against appeals for pardons Do you
stand up when the appeal is made to
you? I wish some of you could sit in
the executive chamber of any state and
see the petitions from highly respect
able merchants, urging that the very
worst criminals and cowardly murder
ers should be liberated again These
petitions are, for the most part, signed
without any knowledge whatever of
the case beyond a brief ex-parte state
ment of the man with the paper"
