Illinois Labor Federation.

PEORIA, H., Oct. 2O.-With pros
poets of one of the most important
and exciting sessions in years, the H.
linOis State Federation of Labor con-
vened in Peoria today. Aside from the
election of officers, the principal mat
ters before the convention have to
do with the stand to be taken by the
federation in the present campaign
The democratic delegates favor the in
dorsement Of Bryan, and the passage
of resolutions condemning Speaker
Cannon, but these recommendations
are opposed by the republicans and
socialists and those who believe that
the federation should be kept free from
political entanglements. Local unions
and central labor kCdies in all the in
dustral centers of Illinois have sent
delegates. Chicago unions are repre-
scented by a large delegation.
