Delegate Mccullough Of the miners
asked that the convention be held in

He believed that the measures so n

Make No Change.
No change was made, however, and
the time for calling the convention will
remain the first Monday after the sec
ond Tuesday in November.
The only resolution presented by
Victor / Berger was carried unanimous
lily. It provides for change in the
constitution. of the federation to- 30
into effect on the first day of May,
I1911.
At that time every local affiliated
with national or internationl; union
will be compelled to join the chartered
central bodies and departments in
their vicinity; they will also be called
upon to join the state declarations u
labor in their respective states.
Every local union falling to carry
out the instructions within sixty days
will have its charter revoked.
Increase Revenue.
A suggestion to increase the revenue
of the Washington Office Of the feder-
alton was made. The suggestion WAS
that the present per capita tax on the
national and international unions be
increase fdrom II cent to Il cent per
month per member.
The convention placed itself on rec
ord as being unanimously in favor Of
female suffrage, also in favor Of press

viding for better housing conditions
for the working class.

T. L. Lewis also arose in opposition
to referring t, the executive council.
He feared that the executive council
would attempt to defend the interests
of the different unions to which its
members belonged instead of consider

Lewis in Opposition.
He opposed the claims Of firemen,

were doing exactly the same thing
that delegates from those crafts did

The Big Labor Convention Comes I
An End at st. ~

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 2S.-That the
Western Federation OF Miners will

lbor is the concensus of opinion of dele
lgates to the convention of the nation
lal labor body which closed here Satur-
day.
O'ConnelI overruIed.
James O'Connell, president of the in
Association of Machinists,
was overruled on the point of order
which he made pervious to ADJOURN
ment Friday.
The point of order made by O'Con-
nell to obstruct further consideration
Iof assimilating the Western Fedora
ltion Of Miners, referred to a constitu-
tional requirement made by the conven-
ton of 1900 which provided that every
union max igpipnatialc TAOIN UNN
union making application to the ma
Itional body for affiliation should clear
lily define its jurisdiction.
In cverreing the motion Of order,
GomDers referred to the proceedings
Of the 1901 convention. where com.
mittee was appointed to more clearly
define the federation's policy upon a
similar question.
Report Of Committee.
The committees report was that it
was impossible to define he exact line
lof demarcation where one trade or
form Of labor begins and another ends
Ialos that no hard and fast rule could
Ibe devised on which any trade union
could be governed.
Gompers asked that foreSearance and
federation be used. He believed. as a
general proposition, that the best In
Iterests Of the organization would be
served BY taking care Of the iurisdia-
Ifion lines as they arose with the eyolu.

Police clubs will not batter out the
brains of the working people OF Wheel
ing, if organized Labor can prevent
the inauguration of the plan by which
some Labor haters hope to reach that
end. Sunday the Ohio Valley Trades
and Labor Assembly unanimously and
earnestly instructed the legislative
committee and the executive board ~
appear before the special ..oun>.i char.
ter committee and eventually before
the city council itself, and use every
effort against the projected cianse II
the proposed changes to the city char
ter, providing for taking the Office OF
chief Of police out of the hands Of the
people. The proposed change caled,
lated removing the chief of police be-
yond the reach of the voters. and the
representatives of Labor promptly
smelied rat.
The matter was brought to the at.
tention of the Assembly by Secre-
tary Vessel who suggested that ac.
|tion be taken: Delegate Fisher
thought that that action should III.
clude fight for the referendum fes.
ture in It's entirety, and Delegate Ice
agreed with him, but the delegates
seemed to think thai thee was little
use Of asking the present city council
for anythins really progr sssiy and in
the interests OF the common people.
Delegate Mahoney sail tina, there
was no truth in the claim that placing
the police under civil service would
abolish graft, for reports were in the
possession of the Assembly, which
showed that nine out Of ten. cities
where. the civil service" was in
force, were proven thoroughly corrupt.
He saw the real reason was to take
the police department out Of the
reach of the working people. SO that
the police power could be- used
against them unlawfully and brutality,
as is at present evidences in the Chi.
cago garment workers strike against
Hart, Schaffner & Marx. and other
firms. II don't want any committee
of this Assembly to be Inundated by.
having to ask favor from man like
Charles H. Watkins, (of the Palace
Furniture store), who has fought La
Dor SO bitterly, and for corporations
SO consistently during all his council
manic career"
Delegate Guam thought a petition
should be circulated among the unions
protesting against the change propos-
ed by Watkins and others. but the
sentiment was that there was not now
sufficient time in which to do this.
Delegate Weekly then moved a sub
