UNITED TEXTILE
WORKERS MEET
GOMPERS DELIVERS SPEECH
AT CONVENTION
40 DELEGATES HOLD SESSION AT
WASHINGTON
Labor Leader Makes Vigorous ADJ
dress Urging That Employees
Form Own Insurance
Companies
rRv Assoclated Press ]

WASHINGTON, oct. 19.-The United
Textile Workers of America met here
today in annual convention. There
were present about forty delegates,
representing 10000 workers, the entire
body of such employees numbering
about 100000 in the United States.
The convention was not called to
order until the arrival Of Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor.
Mr.. Gompers spoke with great vigor
upon the necessity of the members of
the organization providing all forms OF
insurance for themselves, instead of
paying their money into the Golfers OF
the great insurance corporations OF
the country.
He advocated higher dues for the
textile workers to be of service to
them lin time of stress, and to be
used as a beneficial fund
Referring to the strike Of the tex
tile workers in Fall River several
years ago, Mr.. Gonpers declared the
contest had taught the employers in
the textile trades that 1t was cheaper
to pay the living wages demanded by
the union than it was to bear the eX-
pense of a strike.
Life Line Reached
eff employers in the textile trade
understood, SAID Mr.. GOInpeIS, uld'
the life line has been. reached in wages
OF textile workers, and that the men
and women in that trade will not work
for less than the living wage, that liy-
ing wage will be paid to them. II
people simply allow themselves to be
nodded by the oppressive grasp OF
their employers there is no limit tc
which the workers may not be op-
pressed"
Referring to his age, SO, Mr.. Gompers
said that while some people thought
he was an old man, he was satisfied
there were a couple of good fights
in him still.
Mr.. Gompers declared the recent
financial crisis would have lasted longer
had it not been for the influence OF
labor organizations in keeping wages
up so that the products of the mills
could find purchasers. Had wages
been reduced, he said, the crisis of 1907
would have been as long continued as
some Of the panics of the past.

Too often the detectives are led

Calendar Shows Results.
The results of a days work and a
nights rambling by members of the
detective force are amply shown the
following morning in the police court
where District Magistrate Andrade
hears and weighs evidence and renders
decisions. The common drunk receives
mo favors from the magistrate, whether
he be haole or Hawaiian, rich or poor,
highbrow or illiterate. Drunkenness is
a vice in the eyes of the magistrate
even more than other offenses, and it
is a crime when the history of case is
followed up closely.
Too often the search for a cause be-
gins with a happy husband and father

inevitable end in the police court. 1t
is little wonder that the police judge
deals somewhat harshly with vice
which is akin to a crime under these
conditions. for the family suffers.
There are gamblers, some who play
to make a living by preying upon those
whose weakness leads them to hazard
money which they or some near TO
