upHoLDs PRESIDENTS STAND
Fight Carried to Floor OF Convention
and Carnegie and Other Capitalists
Are Attaekod-MitcheiI Springs
Sensation By Charging Packing Of
Columbus Convention.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 2l.-Refusal of the
resolutions committee to concur in
recommendation that Samuel Gompers
and several other officials OF the
American Federation of Labor be COM
Yelled to withdraw from the Ameri-
can Civic Federation, precipitated the
expected contest in the labor organiza- :
ton convention today. Protagonists Of
the resolution attacked Andrew Carne-
gle and other capitalist members OF the
civic federation.
Mitchell Springs Sensation.
Vice President John Mitchell sprung
a sensation on the convention floor OF
the American Federation OF Labor to-
day when he made the charge that the
Columbus convention OF the United
Mine Workers which passed resolutions
directing delegates to request the re-
nomination of federal officials who
were officials of the National Civic
Federation, was packed with delegates
who did not belong there.
Socialists to Control.
BY practically unanimous vote the
American Federation of Labor. in con-
vention here, adopted the referendum
as the method OF electing it's officers
hereafter.
The resolution which was adopted
had been reported back unfavorably by
the committee on laws. Only one mem
ber OF the committee supported It. He
is John Walker, president Of the Unit
ed Mine Workers, who presented mi
nority report and won the convention.
The result is regarded as signal
victory for tho socialistic element IN
the convention. The resolution was i'll
troduced by a socialist and supported
by socialists Many delegates predict
ed that 1t was a forecast of the death
OF the old regime ard the incoming OF
new leaders of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor within the next few
years.
With the adoption Of the referendum
system In election the miners, most OF
whom are socialists, will control the
federation. They have by far the
largest rank and file. The carpenters
are next with 100000 members.
Gompers Favors the Change.
Delegate Walker said the rank and
file Of labor should have the right to
elect it's own officers. He accused Pres
ident Gompers of saying he preferred
the laboring men to vote the old party
tickets rather than expend their ell
ergies in forming a labor party.
President Campers denied this. he
said he was not concerned in any po-
litical party except when it could be
used as an immediate instrument In Sc
curing Justice for the working class.
( at is deep regret to me that the
delegate should cast aspersions on me,
President Gompers said. II advocated
the initiative and referendum before
the delegate was even member or a

JUDGE uPHoLDs RULING.
Opposition to Death Penalty to Dis
quality Jurors in Patterson Trial.

Denver, Nov. 21.-Attorney Hilton, OF
the defense, in the trial Of. Gertrude
Gibson Patterson, for the alleged mur-
der of her husband, today re-opened
the matter on which Judge Allen ruled
yesterday, holding the opposition to the
death penalty disqualified a talesman
from being sworn as q juror. @
Both sides quoted authorities but the
court again upheld the contention of
the state 1t was hoped that the jury
would be completed tonight
In examining talesmen on only one
point-the question Of whether oppo-
sitlon to the death penalty was ground
for challenge for cause-dtd counsel
clash. On this the court ruled in q
qualified negative. Ltaer when Special
Prosecutor Benson put the matter
squarely to the court challenge on this
ground was allowed.
Despite the fact that the state Is
asking the extreme penalty for wom-
an little opposition to capital punish
ment was developed among those ex-
anined today.
Questions put to talesmen by counsel
for the state were taken to indicate the
prosecutions intention to try to show
that the killing of Patterson was pre-.
meditated and that verdict Of murder
of first degree, with the death penalty
will be asked. Especial stress was laid
on the talesman's Willingness to send
woman to the gallows if the evidence
warranted.
The rame Of Emil strouss millions
aire clothing manufacturer of Chicago,
was brought into the proceeding by
Special Prosecutor Benson, who in
cluded strouss in those persons with
whom he asked talcsmeniif they were
