WILMINGTON, Del. Nov. 13.-An
impressive scene was witnessed at the

night when five hundred Catholics
knelt on the station plat

for Rome to receive the red hat. He
stood on the platform of a Pullman
car and bestowed the blessing during
the brief stop of the train. He was
cheered before and after the ceremony.

board trains acknowledged the blessing
with the others. The stay was too
brief for the cardinal-designate to make
a speech, but he shook hands with many
persons.

Efficiency Systems Scored.
In scoring the so-called efficiency
and scientific management systems
President Gompers declared as false
statements that the systems have in
creased wages. He charged that the
systems work undue hardship on the
labor and result In no material gain.
The fight for the eight-hour day,
President Gompers said, is steadily
going on, and he declared that labor
men could find satisfaction in the fact
that the last Congress applied the
eight-hour law to the construction of
battleships. and that those provisions
of the law had beer put into effect by
the executive officers of the govern
ment.
Among the other subjects treated in
the report are child labor. locomotive
boiler inspection, the Danbury hatters'
case, the Senate THIRD -degree investi-

Baldwin Locomotive Works strike and

condition is excellent. The treasury
shows a balance of nearly 100000 on
hand. Nearly So, 000, 900 was ~disbursed
in support of stries by the various
