by Delegate G.. H. Miller. BARRIERS, Sc

out in the convention hall, the resOlu-
tions would more than likely have been
read, referred to the resolutions COM
mittee and returned with the nOn-cOn-
currence, without the publicity occa-
stoned by the proceedings as they were
recorded Many of the delegates de-
plored the discourtesy accorded to Mr..
Miller and those who were in SYM
pathy with him and his resolution
could not but feel that they had been
done a grav!s injustice. che reading of
the resolution Saturday morning fol-
lowing the heated debate, served in a
measure to alleviate the wounded feel
ings of those who wished to see the
boycott raised, but when the delegates
favorably report to their respective
bodies On the Sound, it is thought
there will be dissension in some of
the ranks. as Mr. Miller on the floor

days, during which time all kinds ana
manner of business was transacted
having a direct or indirect bearing on
the unionized labor situation of the
state and the northwest, the eighth
annual convention of the washington
State Federation Of Labor came to g.
close Saturday afternoon at 4:3o
o'clock, after having elected officers for
the ensuing year, delegates to the var1-
Gus conventions to be held during the
wear. and selecting a place of meeting
for the 1910 convention.
But little debate marked the closing
day of the convention, the more i'm
portant business matters in the way or
desired legislation having been quite
generally cleaned up prior to the open
ing of Saturday afternoons session.
But one fight was made, and that was
a goOd-natured one in the selection OF
the place of meeting. Delegate Coats,
of the pressmen of Spokane, said that
in view of the fact that unionized Ia
Dor in the Falls City is somewhat de-
moralized and that the holding of the
convention there would have great
effect for the betterment of conditio0 s.,
the Falls City should be unanimously
chosen for the 1910 convention. How
ever. J. A. LivermOre, of the Grays
Harbor delegation, introduced Ho-
quiam, and when a rising vote was
called the secretary counted 65 for
Hoouiam and So for Spokane.
Officers were generally elected with
out opposition, although for president.
there were three nominations. G. r.
Case, of Seattle, had walk away, his
opponents, Mitchell and Cottelill re-
ceiving but a small number of votes
For delegate to the American Fedora
ton of Labor, there We're three nom
nations, SwensOn, Wilson and Carl
son. and the vote on that was as eX-
citing as any outside the selection of
the next place of meeting. G. r. Carl
son received 40 votes; Wilson, Is; and
T. w. Swenson was elected with 79
votes.
In closing up the work of the con-
vention, the grievance committee
handed in its final report, stating in
substance that it had no real Or fan
cied grievance against either the city
of Walla Walla,- the Commercial club
the Manufacturers association. or the
Y NJ c. A. management, and extended
the most hearty thanks to all for the
excellent hospitality shown delegate
The local committee of laboring mer
who had charge of the entertainm en'
rart of the convention, were given 6
rising vote of thanks, as were also Re
