II report to this convention of the es.
sential features of the twenty ninth an
nual convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor recently held in Toron-
to, Canada. In preparing this report
have had to omit many things which
should have liked to touch upon, that ]
might not weary you with its too great
length.
The labor movement in America is
second to no other movement in our
national life and the issues for which
we are contending are tremendous Dur
ing the two weeks the convention was
session every phase of the trade union
movement was taken up and discussd
and it is hard to determine which phase
is really subordinate to the other.
A very brief preface descriptive of
the city of Toronto and of the labor
movement of our neighboring country
of Canada, might not be out of place
at this time. Toronto was founded in

lecture by member of the state board.
The object of bringing the exhibit to

all citizens in encouraging the proven

A resolution was adopted Tuesday
night inviting ministers of Everett to
preach upon the subject of tuberculosis
on Sunday, January J. in order to call
attention to this important movement
and to arouse interest in it. Each

interests; School children, women's

Will Preach Upon the Subject

A local war upon tuberculosis has
been inaugurated under auspices of the
State Board of Health. A representa-
tive of that body, in the person of DIR.
Kelly, was present at a meeting held
at the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday
evening, when an executive committee
was elected to arrange for the coming
of the states boards exhibit, which is
to be shown here during the week COM
mencing January II. This committee
consists of Mrs. w. NJ. Thornton, chair
man; Miss Eva Bailey, county superin-
tendent of schools; Rev. William Ran
dali, j. Z. Allsberg, j. f. Campbell and
c. II. Packard.
Five evening and three afternoon
meetings are to be held at some central
point to be selected, and special pro-
grams that will be both entertaining
and instructive will be presented free

The convention was fortunate in hav-
ing with them as maternal delegates
lsfrom the British Trades Union con
gress, Messrs. A. H. Gill and J. R
Clynes, both of whom are members of
Parliament, representing the Labor
party of England. l wish it might have
been possible for every delegate to this
convention to have listened to these able
men as they told the story of the strug-
gle of the English working class, from
the infamous Taff-Vale decision up

George budget, the most progressive
piece of legislation i'll the interests OF
the masses ever proposed by any gov
eminent. Those English laboring peo-
pie have developed q broadness of vision
in the political and economic field, truly
remarkable. These sentences from Mr.
| Clynes address furnish, | believe, the
keynote to their success in placing so
many laboring men in Parliament and
passing So many laws for the benefit of
the toiling classes:

of the most beautiful cities in North
America and has present population
of 100000. 1t is an educational center
famous for it's schools and universities
We in the United States, whose ears
are accustomed to tales of municipal
vice and corruption, will be agreeably
surprised to learn that graft and dis
honesty in the municipal conduct of the
city's affairs are almost unknown. The
city is ideally governed and the moral
standard of its people is very high.
Organized labor in Toronto, and, in
fact, throughout the Dominion of Can
ada, contains some of the brightest
minds in the labor movement. Jerry
Simpson, prominent labor leader and
Socialist of Toronto, is a member of the
board of education of that city, and
commands the respect and confidence
of all classes of citizens. The trade
union movement in Canada is as yet
small in ratio to popula
ton. There are several causes for this.
One, is the slow industrial development
of Canada, owing to lack of transporta
ton facilities. Up to comparatively
short time ago there We're no large
and combinations of capital and
consequently less apparent need of or
ganization among the workers. Capital
in Canada is now following the lead of

Claus E. Tholin, Of Sweden, repre-
senting the thousands of Swedish work
men on strike, told the convention of
the heroic struggle his comtrymen were
making to uphold unionism and the con
vention authorized the executive Off
GERS to send out an appeal to unionists
throughout the United States for fl
nancial assistance.
Mrs. Raymond Robbins, of Chicago,

Emphatic action was taken by the
convention in reference to the United
States Steel corporation. 1t was shown
that this gigantic corporation was the
most dangerous enemy to unionism in
this country and that they were en-
gagged in a campaign OF utter extermi-
alton as far as the unions affecting
their industry is concerned. A meeting
was called to convene on the l4th of
December TO be attnded BY the execu-
tive heads of the various International
unions to lay the foundation for de-
termined war upon the policy of the
steel trust. It was determined TO be-
gin an aggressive movement instead Of
remaining on the defensive and allow

Much comment was aroused just
before election by the announcement
given out at the White House that
President TAFT intended to appoint a
Negro as assistant attorney general,
namely William H. Lewis of Boston.
Among those who know Lewis the
appointment was highly approved.
Lewis is a Harvard graduate and an
extremely good lawyer. The only
question raised was the color" ques-
tion What would be the consequence

influence the Negro vote.
