peoted to Meet in Chicago to Confere
With A. F. of L. Officers Soon.


Men who are prominent in
labor circles in Chicago and who
are in close touch with the a. F.

statement that Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. will in few days
issue call for a national confer
ence of all the heads of the inter
national unions to meet with the
international committee of the A.
f. of L. in Chicago in the near
future.
1t is pointed out that a similar
conference was held last March at
Washington when the present
political policy of the A. f. of L..
was formulated. The proposed
Chicago conference will meet to
hear President Gompers' report of
the Republican and Democratic
conventions.
Mr. Gompers' friends say that
he has been uniustly criticised,
when he was simply following the
instructions of the Washington
conference "to stand by the friends
OF labor and elect them and to
oppose the enemies of labor and
defeat thcm.''

MINNESOTA SENATOR GIVEN
BIG INDIAN WAR BONNET

Washington, April Ex-senator
Clapp of Minnesota, chairman of the
committee on Indian affairs, is now a
heap big Indian chief of the Grow
tribe. He was given a surprise today
by Chief Plenty Coos and his fellow
tribesmen who have been witnesses be.
fore the Indian committee for the past
three weeks. The chief marched into
the committee room at the head of the
band and through an Interpreter in
formed the senator that the treatment
that had been accorded the Indians
was highly appreciated and that an
appropriate gift was due the white
chief of the committee. Chief Plenty
Coos then took from one of his follow
ers a huge war bonnet which had been
the chiefs insignia of rank and worn
by him whenever he went into battle
He said that he was now a man of
peace and that the bonnet was of less
value to him on the reservation than it
would be to the senator in congress,
and therefore he wanted the senator to
take it.
Senator Clapp mas Completely fab
bergasted," according to his own des-
criptiOn of his emotions. He took the
war bonnet and thanked the chief.
Plenty Coo and his band will start
for their reservation home in Montana
tomorrow.

sion as Arbitrator Of Differences.
Washington, April 18.-Hearing on
the national civic federation bill to
amend the Sherman antitrust law
were continued today before Chairman
L1ttleheld's subcommittee of the house
Judiciary committee. Seth Low, presi-
dent of the federation, submitted
amendments to his bill, SO altering its
provisions that the interstate COM
merce commission, instead of the presi-
dent and the commissioner of corpora
tons, shall be arbitrator of all matters
OF reference, designation and difficulty
which would arise under the opera
ton of the bill.
Mr.. Low said these amendments had
been agreed upon as most likely to
meet and satisfy the most serious OF
the objections thus far urged against
the federation measure.
Mr.. Low laid before the commission
letter from Andrew Carnegie in sup
port OF the proposed changes. Mr.
Carnegie's letter was written with the
purpose of supporting the idea that au
thority should not be divided between
the interstate commerce commission
and other bodies and other Officials.

MINORITY LEADER PAYS
COMPLIMENT TO CANNON

Washington, April 21.-With the ex-
ception of Messrs. Cooper and Nelson.
of Wisconsin, Republicans, the house
by strict party vote yesterday de-
clared the action of Speaker Cannon
last Saturday in summarily adjourn
ing the house was not "a breach OF
the provision of the house affecting
it's safety, dignity and the integrity
of it's proceedings"
The dictum was made when a reso-
luton by Mr.. Williams holding such a
breach to have been committed, was
tabled, 146 to 49, The vote was pre-
coded by statements by Mr.. Williams
and the speaker. After disclaiming
that as a result of the incident there
would be a personal breach between
him and the speaker, Mr.. Williams
maintained that the action was an
unprecedented parliamentary act. On
the other hand, Speaker Cannon called
attention to the dilatory tactics of the
minority leader for the past two
weeks and said it was the speaker
privilege and his duty to sweep aside
a dilatory demand and declare the
house adjourned.
Speaking in the most impassioned
manner and carefully weighing his
words, Mr.. Williams said:
"The truth is, Mr.. Speaker, that
you're one of the best men in the
world, but a long and undisturbed
power, whose lesser abuses have been
good naturally passed over, has made
you somewhat despotic and intolerant
of opposition"
Potion Defended.
Craving the indulgence of the
house, Speaker Cannon declared in a
reply that under normal conditions
the rules of the house were observed
The Republicans put through an
amendment to the rules making any
day suspension day." and substitute
ing a majority for two-thirds vote to
pass any measure.
Messrs. Williams and Dearmond bit
author, notified the Democrats that
they could trust to their imaginations
for any legislation they would get this
session.
A definite step was taken today to-
ward solution of the wood pulp and
newspaper cost question in the intro
duction by Speaker Cannon of a reso
luton for the appointment of select
committee of six members to investi
gate and obtain all possible informa
ton as to the reasons for the in
creased price of white paper, ito the
end that needful legislation may be
enacted"
At 5:13 p. m. the house took a re
cess until 1870 a. m. tomorrow.
