and l shall therefore confine myself
to such topics as in MY judgment will
be of particular interest to this State
Federation. The convention was the
most harmonious gathering of trades
unionists which I have ever had the
pleasure of attending. The question
of free speech, free press and trial by
jury involved in the case against Com

owed all other differences, thereby de-
veloping the spirit of harmony which
so generally prevailed.
'FThe annual report of President
Gompers touched upon many impor-
tant questions: The extension of Or
ganization, legislation both state and
national, the establishment of de-
partment of labor which shall be a
compensated position, employers liza

industrial education, strikes and lock-

the interests of trade unionism."
