CONPERS SAYS FEDERATION OF
LABOR is IN VERY GOOD TRIM

WASHINGTON. Aug. 27.-Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor prepared
today his annual Labor day review
for the Labor day edition of the
FederatiOnalist, the organ of the
federation, in which he says:
"The federation never was in bet
ter fighting trim. The big interna-
tional unions were never better
provided with munitions for big
struggles. l believe that l can read
In the composite verse Of the pulpit,
press and platform the fact that
the sentiment of the people has
turned towards the necessity of the
recognition of unionism."
Referring to the contempt pro-
cecdings in the federal court
against Gompers, Morrison and
Mitchell, President Gompers says:
"Who ever sees that. In this mat
ter. the rights of man are being
menaced by the undue extension of
the rights claimed for property, and
that the courts are justly limited in
powers by the constitution, will
also speedily see that the case is
no mere petty matter or defiance
of the courts by labor agitatOrs,
but concerns the future of every
citizen in rights vital under the
laws of the republic"

for the property adjoining, the va
cations are easiyl worth. at a con-
sentative estimate, 100000, and by
some as high as 100000.
In addition to the vacation OF
these four streets, the council wiped
out the sidewalk on the north side
of Front avenue, east of Division,
afidrswapped 10 feet Of the sidewalk
for 10 feet OF an alley in the rear.
This alley space the Milwaukee pro-
poses to dedicate as a street, along
with some ground which the Inland
Empire system proposes to give,
making a street north of Front ave-
nue. where now there is an alley.
This move for the new street is
made for the benefit of the Inland
Empire people, to give access to
their freight yards.
SCHILLER AND FUNK OPPOSE
The fight against the vacation of
the streets without compensation to
the city was led by Councilmen
Schiller and Funk. The considera-
ton for the ground asked for by
Funk was only about one-tenth the
value of the property, but the coun-
Gil divided evenly On the PROPOSE
ton. and it was declared lost.
Schiller and Funk, having heard
that there was a quiet move on foot
to have the Milwaukee and the
North Coast pull out OF the union
depot proposition, succeeded after
a hard fight in having an amend
ment tackled onto the ordinance
making vacations contingent on the
building of the union passenger sta
ton within three years.
Attorney Dudley. for the Milwau-
kee, made a strenuous effort to get
the street vacations without money
or restrictions of any kind. He read
a telegram signed vice president OF
the Milwaukee" to the effect that
the road would build the union sta
ton il the city council would va
cate the streets agreed upon In the
original franchise. He talked of the
vacations being made for the pub
lie good" and that the railroad was
a benevolent institution, out to help
the people instead of enriching the
Golfers of John D. Rockefeller.
Councilman Schiller said that he
would not take the word Of rail
road president under oath, that the
Milwaukee railroad was Standard
Oil enterprise, and that every foot
Of ground vacated was but another
concession to the Standard Oil,
which is we'll able to pay for the
property. the same as any private
citizen. He alluded to the broken
promise of Jim Hill in the Great
Northern franchise.

II. A. Jarvis, president of the
trades council, branded the ordi-
nance as a vicious piece of legisla-
ton, introduced in the council at
the request of ]. M. Fitzpatrick OF.
the Union Iron works, at whose
plant the men are on strike. He
said that every real offense covered
by the ordinance was already IN
cluded In the state law. Jarvis said
that he Union iron works repre-
scented possibly two dozen stock
holders, while the opposition to the
measure represented thousands OF
workingmen Of the city.
H. L. Hughes, editor Of the Labor
World, said there were a numebr OF
men present who would like to be
heard in opposition to the ordinance
but that If the council was of a
mind to kill 1t he would not take
up their time.
Councilman Schiller, in the final
debate, said that he would support

that he was a wage Garner himself

ASPHALT PLANT

The city asphalt plant on Sher-

when it was first started. City En-
gineer Morton Mccartney has al
ready overdrawn the appropriation
to the extent of $643.l5, and he has
asked the city council for $4,000
more than the original sum allow
ed. This request has been concur
red in by the board of works. Me-
Cartney says that the reason that
the reason that the job will cost
more is that 1t has been found that
the foundations must be made 80
feet deep instead of three feet, and
that a covering must be erected for
the plant.
