!. The American Federation of Labor
last week adopted the following reso-
luton upholding the union label:
WHEREAS, The courts Of our coun-
try in several instances have denied us
our constitutional rights, and have
frequently enjoinei us from doing that
against which there is no morar or
civil law, and have restrained us from
doing many things which are essential
to the life and welfare Of organized
labor; and
WHEREAS, Up to this time they
have not enjoined us from putting
union labels on products made by our
hands for our employers who want
labels on their output and as we have
not been enjoined from requesting our
friends to patronize union-1nade pro-
ducts, nor enjoined from mentioning
that there are union labels in this
country; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That ali delegates of
this convention, upon their return
home, preach with greater energy than
ever before the gospel Of earnest work
and fidelity for and to the label and
to insist that their organizations make
paramount objects in the field OF their
endeavor to uplift the wage earners Of
its supply and demand one of the
our common country.

CHARGES Of BRIBERY s..
TO Be INVESTIGATED
Conduct Of g. Washington State
Supreme Judge to Be Looked
Into,

SEATTLE, Nov. 24.-J. B. Bridges,
president Of the Washington State Bar
association, has appointed a commit
tee to investigate the conduct in Of
flee of Judge Milo Root, associate JUS
tice Of the state supreme court. The
action of the bar association was TAX
en- upon the request of the supreme
court and follows the publication of a
story connecting Judge Root with the
$4,000 shortage Of Judge M. J. Cor
don.
According to the story published
here, Judge Gordon, who recently re-
signed as chief counsel in this state
for the Great Northern railroad when
his shortage was discovered, has not
been prosecuted by the road because
the money was intended for a corrup-
ton fund and because other funds had
been used by that road for the purpose
Of bribing members OF the supreme
court at Olympia
The story as published continues:
"Just before Judge Gordon resigned as
counsel for the Great Northern he
handed to a local attorney a bundle Of
papers which indicated that the road
had paid at Olympia about $4,000 to
influence the supreme court in its rail-
way commission and state tax cases."
According to the story, Richard
Nuzum of the firm of Nuzum & Nu-
yum, Spokane attorneys, has in his
possession letters from officials Of the
Great Northern authorizing the use OF
money for the corruption Of the .su-
preme court. The story says:
Louis Hill was made acquainted
with the nature Of these letters and for
that reason no prosecution Of Judge
Gordon has been started. as the road
fears publication Of the documents"

Serious Charges Brought Against
the Harriet Beecher
Stowe Refuge.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Nov. 25.-Lit-
tie children living on the scraps Of
meat usually given by butchers as
food for dogs, and sleeping in vermin-
infested beds--these were the revela-
tions made yesterday when the Rev.
George A. Brown, head of the Harriet
Beecher Stowe institute, was brought
before the county court to answer to
the charge Of having improperly con-
Quoted his institution.
The charge is also made that Brown
has used the children as lever to
solicit funds from charitable people
and that in every way possible the
shassS sh,'sssn have 0eea neglected and
The case is. being pushed by Charles
Virden, agent. for TIE. state board Of
charities, who is in the city and will
remain during the progr ress Of the case
The, only witness examined yester-
day was D. A.. w. Meyer, city health
commissioner, who testified as to con-
ditions. at the home. He told of a
hack yard filled w:1sfas xubbish, decay
ing bones and agl4tnx. dogs, - ofs a
back room which was. filled with re-
fuse.
: He also told Of beds that were dirty,
ragged and alive with vermin, of brok-
en- windows and torn clapboards, of
clothing scant and dirty and of kinky
hair that were too much alive for COM
fort.
One Of the chief witnesses, Mabel
Brown, the eldest daughter Of the
Browns, was absent although she had
been ordered into court. An order was
sent out demanding that she appear in
court. It is understood that she can
testify to conditions in the institution
that have not as yet been shown. -.
Brown declares that the charges are
unfounded,. but there is every indi-
cation that he will fail in hts de-
fense.

American Federation of Labor
Delegates Ask Raihoaders
to Consolidate.

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 25.-An inter-
esting feature of the convention Of the
American Federation of Labor was
the discussion Of a. plan whereby the
great railroad brotherhoods might be
induced to affiliate with the A. F. Of
L. and thus swell the membership to
more than 5000, 900, and solidify the
forces tina tare fighting for better con-
dttions for the working class.
Considerable time was also spent in
discussing the strife that prevails
among the Electrical Workers, and it
was finally resolved to call a conven-
tion of all those working in the elec-
,trical trades and thus endeavor to
form one National Electrical Workers
union.
The delegates Of the Engineers
Firemen and Teamsters are again try
ing to stir up strife with the Brewery
Workers over the jurisdictional ques-
tion. They have introduced resolu-
tions demanding that the Brewers
charter be withdrawn because as they
a,llege, the Brewers have infringed
upon the Engineers, FIreinens' and
Teamsters' rights by organizing the
men working at such trades around
the breweries. Nobody takes these
complaints seriously, however, and it
is hardly possible that the proposed
resolutions will even come to a vote.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. Is. After a.
long fight of two years the custom
tailors of Los Angeles, Cal, have won
the day, and their victory over the
Citizens Alliance is one that encour-
ages the hope that other trades may be
as successful and wrest the industries

peace will prevail for some time to

AN indication that the Citizens
Alliance Is losing its influence among
the employers in that section. It
achieved standing on false represent
alton that its support would bring
peace and harmony to the industries Of
Los Angeles. In that it utterly failed,
1t brought only discord and bitterness
between the employers and their work.
ing people. Instead Of destroying the
unions, it served to intensity the union
sentiment, and strengthen the unions
rather than in leading to their de-
struction.
If the citizens Of Los Angeles and
the business interests are desirous Of
contributing to the welfare Of the city
and to the growth Of it's industries
they should give no countenance to the
destructive work of the Citizens AL

Dominion.
According to the figures Of the
labor department, the total number Of
labor organizations formed In Canada
during 1907 was 2s2, and Of organiza-
tions dissolved 5s, being a net in
crease during the year Of 174. Com
pared with the three preceding years;
the returns show marked increase in
the activity Of the organisation. In
1906 the number Of organisations
formed was 154, and Of organisations
dissolved 86, a gain Of only 50. In 1905
there was a loss of two, the unions
formed numbering 1908, and unions
dissolved 106. There was an In
