LABOR DELEGATES
INDORSE GOMPERS
American Federation Committee
Approves Recommendation of
Presidents Report
Twenty-seventh Anniversary of
Organization Celebrated by
Excursion to Mountains

DENVER, Nov. 15.-Nearly all the
delegates to the twenty eighth annual
convention of the American federation
of labor made an excursion today to
the mountains near Denver as guests
of local unions. Frequent reference
was made in conversation among the
excursionists to the fact that today
was the twenty anniversary OF
the founding of the organization. now
comprising 1,5S6.SS5 members, of which
Samuel Gompers has been president
26 years.
Reports of committees will be the
order of the next three or four days in
the convention, which will resume its
sessions tomorrow. and the discussions
probably will develop the future policy
of the organization on many important
questions
The members of the committee on
presidents report have unanimously
agreed to a report approving every
utterance of President Gompers in his
annual address, which was read last
Monday, and the convention is expected
TO concur in the report of the commit
tee without discussion.
No member of the committee made
any objection to President Gompers
proposal that union leaders refrain
from raising funds for the employment
OI COuHSel LOT the 0eLenSe IN luJuuC-
ton cases and TO go TO Jail, if need be,
after personally defending their rights
before the courts. Federation leaders
declare that the adoption of this policy
will prove more effective in bringing
about reform in the injunction laws OF
the country than anything else that
can be done by organized labor.
One of the expected controversies Of
the convention has been averted by
the announcement of President Thomas
L. Lewis of the united mine workers
of America that he was not a candi-
date for the vice presidency OF the
federation in opposition to John Mitch
ell. 1t is understood that Mitchell will
run against Lewis for the presidency OF
the mine workers from which he re-
tired a year ago on account Of poor
health.
1t is understood that fight will be
made against the reelection of Daniel
j. Keefe as sixth vice president and
member of the executive council. An
drew Furuseth. president of the sea-
mems union. has been put forward as
the candidate against Keefe. No OppO-
sition has developed to the reelection
of the other members of the council.

PLANS CAMPAIGN
TO AID DISTRICT
South of Market Improvement
Association Organizes for
Active Work
Better Lighting Facilities and
Street Payements Aim of
the Members

To benefit the district bounded by
Market, Ninth, Townsend and East
streets, and TO gain the impetus of
united effort, many of the merchants
and property owners south of Market
have organized themselves into the
South of Market Improvement associa-
tion The association has begun an
active campaign to secure better street
pavements. better lighting facilities
and all improvements which will aid
in upbuilding the section.
The members point with confidence
to the desirable. and strategic position
or the district, bordering as 1t does
upon the citys main thoroughfare, and
its portals for oceanic, coast and rail-
way transportation.
Secretary Oliver C. Lansing, speak
ing of some of the associations aims,
said yesterday:
''One OF our first efforts will be to
light our district properly Engineers
are working on plans for a uniform
lighting system, which, when carNed
out, Will be the best in the city We
hope the lighting committee Of the
board of supervisors will indorse our
plan, after which we will get busy
in buying and installing lights. This
expense, of course, will be met by VOL
untary contributions from property
owners and tenants. We plan to have
electroliers, IL on main streets and 8
on lateral streets, to the block, of the
same ornamental style the posts
contemplated by the Geary street as
sociation.

the highest revenue to be obtained,
instead Of the old system Of placing
the city funds in whatever bank the
