C0NPERS ELECTED
AGAIN HEADS AMERICAN FERERA.
TON OF LABOR AS ITS
PRESIDENT.
SEATTLE GETS THE Next CONVENTION
Convention Defeated the Proposition
Calling for Future Elections by
Referendum Vote of All
Members.

Rochester, N. VA fistic encounter
between William d. Haywood, a leader
of the Industrial Workers Of the
World and j. Mahlon Barnes, who was
national campaign manager of the re
cent socialist campaign, took place in
the lobby of the convention hall while
the American Federation of Labor was
holding its final session. Haywood
and Barnes met just outside the door
to the auditorium. The door was open
and President Gompers. on the plat
form, saw Haywood strike Barnes.
"A delegate to the convention has
been insulted by Big Bill Haywood"
shouted Gompers. Delegates will
keep their seats and the sergeant-at-
arms will remove the disturber."
Haywood ran into the street, fol
lowed by several delegates. He took
refuge in laundry and some one
barred the door. Policemen prevented
further trouble. Haywood was taken
to police headquarters, but Barnes de-
clined to make a charge against him
and he was not held.
Barnes said Haywood had revived
an old dispute over the merits of the
rival bodies to which they belong He
said Haywood tainted him with the
defeat of measures Barnes had cham
ploned in the convention. Barnes said
he invited Haywood to the floor of the
convention, with the remark that he
would 'get his" Haywood retorted
by calling Barnes name and striking
him.
Gompers Reelected.
Samuel Campers was reelected pres
ident of the American Federation of
Labor. 1t was the first time in 10
years that Mr.. Campers has had oppo-
sition. All other officers were re-
elected.
The convention defeated the United
Mine Workers resolution calling for
future elections by referendum vote
OF the federation's members.
Next Meeting at Seattle.
Seattle was chosen as the 1918 meet
ing place.
In the election the only contest

liam H. Johnston, president of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Machinists,
by 1889 to 6175.

MEXICAN REBELS STILL FIGHT
Little Improvement Shown in Regions
Where zapatistas Are Actively
EnqaQed


Mexico City,-Not less than 80 vii
lagos have been destroyed in the state
of OaXaca in the last 10 days by gov
ernment troops. The administration
believes the revolutionists in that V :
entity have been cowed by the terrible
warfare that has been waeed, and has
sanctioned orders for the retirement Of
the greater part of the federals from
that state.
In no less than 40 engagements re-
ported last week the federals claim vic
tories, but these for the most part
have been insignificant, since the reb-
els ordinarily retire as soon as posi-
bic, doubtless to save ammunition
Two circulars have been issued by
Zapata. One demands that the owners
of haciendas unite to contribute 5000
pesos a week to the rebel cause in GER
tain fixed areas; the other urges plant
ers to hurry the work of the poems on
their plantations so men can go to
war.

proof to tho Owner of tho

Two poorly dressed little girlA
stood outside the garden of a hand
some residence In ST. Marks avenue,

beautiful white and scarlet peonies
that doomed within. Finally the
temptation became irresistible, and
the elder, scaling the low hedge that
separated the garden from the street,
proceeded to help herself to the flow

She had two of the blooms In her
hands and was reaching for third
when smartly dressed woman
dashed out Of the house and seized
her.

to turn you over to the police" she
said.

child. groveling at her feet; "oh.
please don't get me arrested! only

pretty"
But the woman was adamant She
was slowly dragging the child to-
ward the sidewalk and repeating her
threat about the police when shah
by looking man came along. He
gazed at the two for an instant, while
an expression Of panied surprise
came over his face. Then, raising his
dingy derby politely. he inquired
what the trouble was.
Nothing" snapped the woman, lex
cept that caught this little thief
stealing my peonies. And I'm going
to teach her lesson II l have to take
her to the station house myself"
A curious look came into the shah
by mans eyes. Then he began to
tumble in his pockets. A few seconds
later he held out to the woman an
open palm on which two dimes re-
posed

she's done. | wish you'd take them

An indignant blush spread over the
Woman's face, and then 1t deepened-
into blush of shame. She relaxed
her grasp on the little girls arm and
there she paused and turned toward
the shabby one. who still held the two
dimes in his hand:

charge of his official duties. He fol-
lowed the same policy when president,
though when he began his first term he
was obliged to borrow full 1909. to
meet the expenses of his journey to New
York.
Regarding Washington's religious
life one writer says: ''In his earlier
years he was neither very philosophical
nor very religious, but went decently to
church." But in all his work, when
the final question came, he rose above
every mist and stood for the force of
righteousness and truth Did he be-
lieve in prayer? Do we remember the
hard winter in Valley Forge when twice
he was found on his knees in prayer.
Go with me to the bed of the dying
Hessian after the victory of Trenton.
1t had been splendid triumph to the
American commander; but as he stood
by the bedside, the soldier was lost in
the Christian, and the victorious gen.
eral was only a sympathetic friend.
Instances like these can be used in
teaching and developing the Christian
life in the home.
His relations to his immediate family
showed Washington in the most touch
ing light of anything in his history, for
there the strong man was all tender
ness, and the mssterful spirit all COM
pliance. AS husband he was considerable
and magnamimous. To his mother he
always showed a conventional respect,
but to his wife and her children he was
devoted.
Those who saw him in his last days at
Mt. Vernon, thought him gentler with
little children thanI Mrs. Washington
even, and remembered how he had
always shown a like love and tenderness
for them, going oftentimes out of his
way to warn them of danger. All at
Mt. Vernon looked forward to the
evening. That was 1.-THE Children's
Hour"
Washington's career changed the
worlds idea Of greatness. 1t fixed
into an ideal transformation in the
spirit of mankind. No figure in modern
history compares with him as an in
fluence toward public conscience. Be-
cause he lived as he did live great men
have purified their ambitions and
millions of school boys have conceive d
of heroismas allied to virtue.
