the houses were mainly cottages with
miniature gardens and lawns in front

DENVER, Nov. 20.-The American
Federation OF Labor convention was
again torn with dissensions yesterday
and charges and countercharges few
thick and fast between President
Gompers and the leaders OF the So
cialist element. Max Hayes. OF Cleye-
land, and j., Mahlon Barnes, OF CHI
cago.
A heated debate was brought about
by the report OF the committee on tho
presidents report, which recommend
ed that the Federationist be endorsed
as the Official organ.
Delegate Barnes opposed the recon-
mendation and bitterly attacked
Gompers. claiming that he. as editor
OF the Federationist, had charged tho
Socialist party with having accepted
money for the famous red special or
Debs from the Republican party.
Barnes wanted committee TO go
to Chicago and audit the books OF the
Socialist party TO ascertain the truth
or falsity OF the charges.
President Gompers took the floor
and resented the attacks on him. he
charged Debs, Barnes and Hays with
trying to throw odium on the. labor
movement. and denied that he had
made charges that the funds for the
red special had come from improp-
er sources.
He then remarked that he thought II
was peculiar that a party In debt like
the Socialists should hire a train at a
cost OF $4,000 To do campaign work.
Gompers charged Hayes with hav'
ing put into the Cleveland Citizen the
most unjust labor sentiments ever put
into print. He charged Debs with hav.
ing given printing contracts TO "scab"
shops.

which recommended that members OF
