and respect all DEGREES Of federation
as whole and Its affiliated organ
izations.
The entire report was closely list
ened to by the assembled delegates as
it was felt that it made the issue be.
tween the l. W. W., and the fedora
ton clear and distinct.
In its review of trade conditions
everywhere, the report said that more
had been accomplished by organized
labor during the last twelve months
than ever before in the history of the
movement. Nearly every jurisdiction
al dispute had been adjusted 1t was
stated, and the affiliated unions We're
unusually healthy"
Several pages of the report were
devoted to an explanation of the
action of the board in settling the dis
pute in the pipe industry. This is
expected to prove one of the stormy
features of the convention.
The board, it was stated. has recog'
nized the United Association OF
Plumbers, gas filters and steam fit
iters helpers of the United States and
Canada and returned the per capita
tax Of the International Association
of Steam, hot water and pipe filters
and helpers of America. Friends OF
the latter organization will demand
that the federation overrule the action
oil the executive board on this point
hnn nd oil N ended the
extension of the Erdman act to include
all classes Of railway employees and
expressed the belief that congress at
Its next session would take that
action as well as establish the depart
ment of labor for which the fedora
ton has been fighting for many years
The board also recommended that the
| organization utilize every effort &c
i force the passage by the senate of the
Clayton anti-injunction bill, already
passed by the house, which forces
| jury trials in contempt proceeding
growing out of labor disputes.
The report then took up each trade
/ individually and reported on condi
lions in each as they now exist
1t was stated in the report tha'
during the year two new internationa
unions, the Diamond Workers Pro
tective Union and the Brotherhood O
! Railway Express Workers, had af
| fliated with the federation.
According to the members of thu
committee, the convention will bt
asked to do away with individual re
ports of officers in the future and sub
stitute the report of the executive
committee. This will materially short
en- the sessions, it was said because
necessarily the executive COMMITTEES
| is compelled to cover ground already
dealt with by the officers.
1t was decided in order to ex
pedite business the convention
hereafter shall sit from until 12:3'
and from until 5.

POSSE HUNTS ALL

Hamilton bu. Finds No Trace
Of the Grim
WAS A GOOD MAN
Alhphonse FloreIIa, the Murdered
Italian, Was Held In High
Estimation by His
Friends.
/ 5s8

All night long a posse secured the
vicinity of Hamilton trying in vain
to track down the cowardly murderer
of Alphonso Fiorella, the italian lab
orer who was killed Sunday evening.
They travelled through cornfields and
bushes for miles around but the MUIR
derer had too much of start and no
trace Of him was found.
Today bloodhounds were brought
ftom Springfield and Sheriff Nc
Adams OF Carthage, has taken the
csSe in charge. It is thought that the
trail is too old and the man has too
great a start for the bloodhounds to
catch him. The murderer was prob
ably "bum" workman and has
caught freight train and lost him
self in some large city. No one saw
him close enough to recognize him
II he were apprehended.
The italian quarter is much aroused
over the act and are willing to push
the hunt to the limit If it appears
4 possible that the crime can be aven-
ged. Fiorella was very popular among
his countrymen. and was an industri
Gus laborer.
His funeral was held this aft
ernoon and he will be buried in this
4 city. The services were at st. Peters
church, with Father Gillespie IL
| charge. The brothers and sisters Of
the dead man arrived from Hanniba
today to attend the funeral.
All arrangements are being made
by James Farrall, who was with Flor
ella at the time Of the shooting. Far
rail-, himself, received a bullet in his
right arm. The last wishes of the
dying man was that Farrall take
charge of his remains and notify his
family In italy. Fiorella handed Far
rail- postoffice money order receip
for $50 which he had sent back to hi
wife and three children and told hin
to write and see that the money go
there.
Fiorella was about thirty-fiye year
OF age and had long contributed t
the support of his family in south
ern Italy Farrall, who is a tracl
foreman will probably have the con
sent Of the authorities in taking car
of the belongings left by the dea
man. He is taking care Of the rela
tives of the dead man during thei
.. stay in the city.
