LABOR FEDERATION
PASSES RESOLUTIONS
MANY LOOK TO STRENGTHENING
ORGANIZATION.
Move to Centralze Power to Call
Strikes Was Defeated.

st. Louis, Nov. 21-The American
Federation of Labor this afternoon de-
clined to adopt n resolution, the pur-
pose of whicn was To centralize in its
officials power to call general strikes
in given localities. Gompers led the
opposition to the resolution, which was
introduced by Delegate Abrahams of
the Central Federal Union of Greater
New York. Resolutions were adopted
rebuking the railroad employees who
petitioned the interstate commerce
commission 10 permit railroads To in
crease their freight rates.
The strike question came up on the
report of a special committee which
was unfavorable TO the measure. Dele
gates from the state central bodies
claimed they were often unable to make
strikes effective because of a lack of
authority from various local unions.
Gompers said he did not want SUCH ,au
thority vested in himself as president
of the federation, neither would he
want it vested in anybody else who
might hold the position.
A resolution asking that congress be
petitioned to enact a law pensioning
aged workmen was defeated.
The convention adopted a resolution
opposing government appropriations
for river improvements of waterways,
except in cases where the states or
cities interested agree to provide free
wharves or landings for all vessels
without discrimination.
Other resolutions adopted provide for
pushing the organization of women's
trade, stenographers and office workers
generally; favored a 2-cent tax on oleo-
margarine. and forty -eight-hour law
for postal clerks, and protested against
the recent executive order prohibiting
civil service employees from petitioning
the government for redress of griev-
ances.

TELEGRAPH LINES SEIZED.
Brief History of the Leadership of
Madero.

Laredo. Texas Nov. 21.-The situa-
tion in Mexico appears serious tonight.
For the first time i'm fifteen years of
operation the leased wire of the As
sOciated Press from Laredo To Monte
rey and Mexico City was comman
deered by the Mexican government
on the plea of military need and the
federal circuit manager was ordered
] to cut off the Laredo office of the As
sociated Press to- prevent information
being CLEANED from messages moving
over the wire. These instructions en-
lanated from the headquarters of the
federal telegraphs in MeXieo City,
where it was explained the govern
ment would require the full capacity
of all its telegraph facilities through
out the night.
Coming as it does after what was
Iofficially reported to have been a per-
lfectly tranquil Sunday throughout the
greater part of the republic, broken
only by a few almost insignificant
disorders in the smaller places, this
action on the part of the government
would appear to lend substance to ru-
mors of bloody riots at Zacatecas, Go
mez- Palacio and TorreOn. the authen-
ticity of which had been i'm doubt.

The constitutional convention pro-
yesterday than it had in any previous
session. In a way its activities were
negative, devoted largely TO a rejection
of dead timber. While it did not pre-
pare many matters for the constitution
il decided on many that should not go
into the constitution
All the business on hand was dis
posed of and two large installments
were received from the committees to
be acted upon today Among them
was a substitute employers liability
proposition and a general election
qualification measure.
There had been one proposition which
had attracted a great deal of interest.
1t provided that the Legislature should
not pass a law limiting the amount of
damages that an employe might claim
for injuries and it deprived an emplOye
of the right to waive claims for dam
ages. The judiciary committee struck
out the last clause on the ground that
it abridged the right of contract guar
anteed by the constitution of the Unit
this as the majority report is accom-
panied by a minority report.
The Kinney proposition, requiring
that not more than 90 per cent of the
employees in the underground workings
of mines or in other hazardous Oceupa
tions shall be non English speaking,
was reported with an amendment which
il was thought would remove the OBJ
lection of uncOnstitutiOnality. 1t Omits
all mention of the proportion of Eng
lish speaking employees but requires
that all must be able to speak English.
1t will probably be further amended
by the addition of the word, 'intelli-
gently"
A large number of propositions came
from the public lands committee and
some of them will give rise to wide de-
bate Among these measures was the
memorial asking for congressional ac-
ton, giving the present occupants of
school lands preferential rights in the
sale of them after statehood.

discharge of any of the clerks that Mr.
Jones of Maricopa, of the printing COM
mittee, suggested that the clerks be re-
tanned on the payroll with the under
standing that they remain away from
the capitol so that they would not be
in the way of the real workers.
In the opinion of Mr.. Ellinwood If
any of the clerks were discharged ii
would be only a few days before the
convention would be employing others.
Mr.. Osborn said that if five were dis
charged the rest would be justified in
going on strike.
Mr.. Connolly cut the Gordian knot
by the suggestion that the clerks whom
it was proposed to discharge be given
fifteen days notice, by which time the
convention would have passed into
history.
Mr.. Shorts motion went to a vote
and was decisively defeated. The usual
demand for a roll call was made but
was denied in the interest of economy.
as roll call, according to the calcula-
tion mentioned by Mr.. Morgan, would
cost at least $3.50.

SAVED FROM THE AK.
Some of the Committee Clerks Breathe
More Freely.

The work of the constitutional con-
VentiOn in the morning session consist
ed chiefly OF the dumping overheard
of the husks of propositions from which
the meat had been extracted for inclu-
sion in the committee substitutes which
had been favorably reported for action
bv the committee of the whole. Many
propositions also went overheard be-
cause the whole committee acting on
the suggestion of standing committees,
believed that they had originally been
without merit Thus, of about thirty
propositions which were on the calen-
dar when the committee went into ses-
sion less than half a dozen will become
a part of the constitution.
Before the regular business was TAX
en- up a matter of more acute interest
to a small handful of persons than the
constitution itself will be the territory
at large, was disposed of. 1t was
rumored on Saturday that several of
the committee clerks would lost their
heads.
Accordingly, Chairman Short of the
committee on printing, in charge OF the
clerks offered a motion that five or
them be dropped from the payroll, the
five to be of the less efficient clerks.
He added that many of the clerks had
nothing to do because there was moth
ing that they could do. The work was
done by a comparatively few efficient
clerks who were handicapped by the
very presence of those who were not
efficient
Mr.. Winsor opposed the motion. He
recalled that in the first instance he
had been opposed to the appointment
of so many clerks and of any clerks
who were inefficient, but he had been
overruled and all clerks had been en-
ploved with the understanding that
they were to remain until the end OF
the session. Thus the convention was
bound bv a moral contract 20 retain
them.
This view was also taken by Mr..
Webb, who said that to discharge any
of the clerks at this time would be
hardship since they would have to pay
their fares back to their homes.
Mr. Morgan of Navajo also opposed
the motion and he directed the atten-
tion of the convention to the fact that
II was running at an expense of 76 cents
a minute, as The Republican had some
time ago figured out. All this wind
iamming, therefore. in the interest OF
economy he said was costing great
deal more than would be saved by the
looping off of a few clerks.
The tide was so plainly against the

ARIZONA MORNING. L

are cities of about $4,000 and $4,000
inhabitants respectively and are four
miles apart, i'm Laguna district of the
state of COahuila. This territory was
the scene of the insurrection of 1908,
which was quickly quelled by federal
troops and which is supposed to have
eventually resulted in sending General
Reyes out of Mexico. Reyes at the
time was governor of the contiguous
state of Nueva Leon.
The revolutionists proclaimed him
their leader, and repeated disavOwals
on his part did not seem to convince
the central government that he was
not covertly abetting the disaffectiOn.
He was sent to Europe Ostensibly on a
military mission and has not yet re-
turned. Almost at once the same ele-
ment that recognized Reyes as their
standard bearer turned to Madero and
nominated him for president of the
republic in opposition to DiaZ for the
elections of last spring.
Madero and his supporters claimed
they were not being accorded fair
treatment in the campaign and Madero
was imprisoned on the charge of in
sulting the government by the state
ment that he could not get justice in
the courts. He was held in prison
until some weeks after the election,
when the existing government was
overwhelmingly returned TO power.
Then he was released on bail. He made
his way to San Antonio, Texas, whence
he is alleged to have been secretly
preparing his partisans for the wide
spread revolt which was planned to
commence Sunday, November 20.
on November 90 MaderO slipped
out of San Antonio and made his way
to Cotulla Texas. where he met four
companies with horses and a guide
and started in a westerly direction. 1t
was then understood he was going
to his family estate i'm COahuila, to
take personal command Of the anti
government forces. No further word
has been obtainable regarding his
movements, and it is believed he is in
Mexico tonight.
Every precautiOn is being taken by
American officials to prevent a viola
tion of the neutrality laws. Governor

commended for indefinite postponement
for the reason that that subject is fully
covered by federal statute. The demo-
cratic members of the Yavapai delega-
