address here, said:
1.-The American Federation of Labor
will continue it's political campaign OF
electing it's friends and defeating those
who are Indifferent or hostile to the en-
actment of labor measures. We had
our first general battle last year. We
will continue our engagements in the
congressional field until our measures
are adopted.
''The gain made in electing repre-
sentatives of labor in the state legis-
latures reached far beyond our most
sanguine expectations The results OF
our efforts in the congressional field
were such as to give us renewed cour-
age and hope.
1.-The most, determined effort will be
made by the federation to secure an
amendment to the Sherman antitrust
law that will enable any court to place
the narrow construction on it.
''It is considered by all who have
studied the proposition without bias
that the trainers of the Sherman anti
trust law never intended 1t should De

1.-THE federation proposes to continue
to fight for such legislation as will pre-
vent Judges from issuing injunctions
at the behest of corporations to in
timidate organized labor in the case
of a strike.
1.-THE federation will continue its eff
forts to secure an amendment to the
eight hour law so that it will apply to
contractors and subcontractors.
"The federation will continue its eff
forts to secure stricter emigration
law that viii prevent the exploitation
of alien workers for the purpose of res
ducing the wage rate of our American
civiliZation to the conditions existing
at McKees Rocks and among the en-
ployes of the steel trust, with its un-
told capitalization and stock, a condi-
ton which representative clergymen
declare IS unfit for publication and
disgrace to our civilization"

it was one hour before the first aid

the cries of the victims, to whom it was
almost impossible to render assistance

SHOCKING

Awful Luck.

Ten persons were killed late Sat
urday night and twenty-eight badly
injured on the Chicago, Lake Shore &
South Bend Electric Railway, when
two cars collided at terrific speed at
the top of a grade, near Chesterton
The cause Of the catastrophe, which
is by far the most serious of the many
which have happened in this line, is
said to be due to the negligence Of
the employees of the east-bound car
in running past Wilson Siding where
they were ordered to meet the west
bound train
Ir statement yesterday General
Manager H. V Wallace Of the South
Shore line, attributed the cause of the
accident to the crew of the east-bound
train consisting of Conductor Delmar
Kenney. and Motorman George Reed.
Train Dispatcher Lambke sent dupli-
cate orders to the train crews, and the
records show that these were deliver
ed to one train at Michigan City and

The GROOM AWAY
Tribune Artist Weds During

One Of the incidents Of the automo-

ment of the day was the fact that c.
P. Mcdonald, the artist who draws the
Opie Dildock pictures in the Chicago
Tribune, was married by Justice George
Fisher after he had quietly secured a
license at the court house.
A great effort was made to keep the
wedding quiet, and the ceremony was
witnessed by only a few of the closest
friends of the couple. AS Opie Dildock
is now on his honeymoon, it may be
expected that next Sundays Chicago
Tribune Will have more narrowing tales
to tell of his adventures than ever be-

Chicago Man on Way to
Gary Dies in Hammond
After Going for Two Days
and Nights Without Wa

Walking to Gary, the city of refuge
for those out of work. Anthony Kaski
of 335 South Clark street, Chicago, fell
by the wayside and lay in the sand
within a few hundred yards of the
Hammond Lake Front park for two
whole days before he was finally no.
ticed by the hundreds of people who
were in the ~iCinity.
He was taken to St Margaret's hos
pital in Hammond Saturday night.
where he died soon after his arrival
from his exposure to the sun. Before
he died he told of the excruciating pain
he suffered for the want of drink of
water during those two days of suf-
fering and yet he was within sight of
Lake Michigan, where there were linn
itless quantities of the water that
might have saved his life.
Suffered Tortures of Inferno.
There may have been some doubt in
the mind Of Kasl1i before he died as
TO whether the torments of an inferno
could have been worse than his suffer
ing when he lay in the sand, too sick
to move. within hundred feet of the
water that his parched throat craved.
Kaski had been in the Cook county
hospital in Chicago, where he was just
recovering from a long siege of sick
ness. He was released from the insti-
/ tuition in a weakened condition, but
] faced with the necessity of making a
/ livelihood, he started on the long tramp
to Gary.

I rived at a point on thelake shore JUS
west Of Berg's resort, and he fell L
! the hot sand, unconscious. He came tc
/ HIS senses a little later and attempted
to crawl to the lake, where he coulc
battle his throbbing forehead in th'
cool water Of the lake.
Exertion Was Too Great.
The exertion was too great for hin
and again he lapsed into unconscious
ness. From that time on he was un
able to move. The hot sun beat dowI
on his unprotected face and it burne,
and blistered until it was swollen twic
the natural size. Still no one came t.
his rescue
Finally, after he had suffered 70
passer- by and an ambulance was caIle
from Hammond. Undertakers Krebs 1
Burns took the unfortunate to the hos
pital at Hammond. but it was too lat
to save his life.
Before the man died he stated that h
had relatives in Chicago. but said h
did not know their address. An effor
will be made to locate these relative
