New York. oct. Tt was news in
Wall street TO-DAY that a $1,000 offer
of compromise made by James r.
Keene has been practically accepted
in settlement OF the suits for $500, -
600 brought against him as the result
OF the collapse Of the Hooking Coal e.
Iron pool of January 10, 1910.
The cases were all on the court cal
endar for trial here in November. and
II is said that one of the reasons why
a compromise was offered in behalf or
Mr.. Keene was that the state OF his
health would not permit him to be-
come involved in such trials at present.
He was compelled recently 70 undergo
an operation in London, from which
he is recovering slowly.
The Hooking pool raised the price
of Hooking Coal & Iron stock in a
year from 90 to IS. the price on tho

ONE ORGANIZATION IN
PIPE-FITTING TRADE
AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR
UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTS PERIL
NENT RECOMMENDATIONS.

The adjustment committee in the At
Ianta convention, aside from dealing
with all the specific cases referred to 1t,
concluded its report with clear deelar-
ation-one craft, one orsanization-and
recommended its adoption. The declar-
alton and recommendations are as fol-
lows:
Before closing the report the COM
mittee on adjustment wishes to make
the following declaration and recon-
mendations: Whatever argument or eN-
cuse there might have been in the past
for the existence of two organizations
OF the one craft. We now believe that
such argument or excuse is absent II
is the opinion of the committee on ad-
iustment. many of whose members have
had to deal with disputes caused by the
existence of two organizations of one
craft for many years. that the time has
arrived for the American Federation OF
Labor to openly and emphatically de-
clare itself to the effect that, large as
this country is. it is not large enough to
hold two organizations of the one craft.
Therefore your committee recommends
that this thirty-first annual convention
of the American Federation of Labor
goes sauarely on record in favor of the
above declaration, and your committee
further recommends that this convention
instruct the president and the executive
council of the American Federation or
Labor to carry into effect the principles
and purposes involved in this declara-
tion-one craft. one organization"
In the discussion which followed
Treasurer Lennon asked If the declara-
ton might not be construed as being in
more or less opposition TO the action OF
the Scranton convention on the subject
OF organization. in that in some in
stances organizations have the right to
contain all the people engaged in the
industry. Replying TO Treasurer Len
non. Chairman James O'Connen of the
adjustment committee made this state
ment:
we had in mind just what Delegate
Lennon speaks of, which is not the in
tention of the committee at ALL The
| motion of the committee recognizes that
the trades have that right. but the com-
mittee wants this declaration to go out,
that If a faction of a trads breaks away

CAR WORKERS AND CARMEN.

washington-The controversy existing
between the International Car Workers
and the Brotherhood of Railway Car
men was again before the Atlanta con
vention of the American Federation of
Labor in resolution by the Car Work
ers to revoke the charter of the Brother
hood of Carmen. The adjustment com
mittee, to which was referred the reso-
luton, rported non-concurrence and rec
commended that the president and execu-
tive council of the American Federation
of Labor continue their efforts to bring
about an amalgamation of the two or
ganizations. At former attempts made
at amalgamation between these two or
ganizations the Car Workers made OBJ
lection. among other things. to amalga-
nation on account of the Indebtedness
OF the Carmen, although the Carmen had
agreed that the payment of these liabiii'
ties should only be participated in by the
members of the Carmen's organization.
even though an amalgamation should
take place. 1t appears now that the
brotherhood of Railway Carmene, since
affiliation with the American Federation
Of Labor. has discharged all of its out
standing obligations and therefore no in
debtedness remains. The president of
the Car Workers, Delegate Richardson.

ter OF his organization to President

In the matter of the jurisdictional
controversy between the U. A. Plumbers
and |. a. Steamfitters, under considera-
ton at the convention of the American
Federation OF Labor, the Building Trades
committee submitted the following re-
port:
In the instance OF the contention af-
fecting the pipe fitting industry the in
terests directly involved raise the fol-
lowing questions;
INSTRUMENTATION of effort and eff
ficiency in one general pipe fitting or
ganization; or
Second Segregation of certain por-
tions of the industry into separately
managed and distinctly administered as
sociations.
In regard to the latter question, the
segregated portion OF the industry does
not, and for many reasons cannot. cover
or comprehend in all parts of North
America, the portion of the industry it
ESSAYS to govern in largely populated
cities and their immediate environ
ments
Therefore. in this instance. the exec
utive council holds that both for har-
mony and for practicability, the pipe
fitting trade should be represented in

Trades Department. by one general as

a satisfactory reply stated that he there
upon turned over the charter of the Car
Workers to Secretary Morrison with in
structions to notify the secretary of the
Car Workers organization that the
