A. r. OF L. IN SESSION.
Convention In TangIe Over steamfitters'
Organizations.

Convention Hall, Rochester, N. Y
Directly charging bad faith to the ex-
ecutive committee of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, officials of the Interna-
tional Association of Steam and Hot Wa
ter Filters and Helpers demanded We'd
nesday that the federation recognize its
existence as an independent organiza-
tion.
The executive committee has returned
the per capita tax of the organization
and is on record as declaring that 1t
should amalgamate with the United AS
sociation of Plumbers, Gas Filters, Steam
Filters and Steam Filters Helpers. The
credentials committee refused to make
recommendations, thus placing the re-
sponsibility directly in the hands of the
convention.
The representatives of the steam fit
ters, who desire independence from the
plumbers, argued at length on the merits
of their claim They cited precedents
of previous conventions-those of New
Orleans and Toronto-and insisted that
the attempt to combine the two trades
into one was sure to cause trouble.
The matter was one of the extremely
tangled jurisdictional disputes which in
the past have caused most of the dissen-
sions in the ranks or organized labor and
both sides were given all of the time
they wanted TO explain tnelr cOnteHllonS
despite the fact that the merits of the
controversy have been thoroughly ac-
counted at the last three previous con-
ventions. 1t was officially called to the
attention of the convention that
at last a member of labor union with
an up-to-date card was about to break
into the United States senate, charac-
terized as the "Millionaires club" This
is former Congressman William Hughes
of Paterson, N. ].
1t is expected that the convention will
take some action on the treatment ac-
corded organizers who have tried to
unionize the carpet industry at Thomp-
sonville, Conn. Organizers who have
been assaulted. shot and stabbed will
make personal reports and members Of
the convention said that they IA
vored memorializng Governor Baldwin,
asking that steps be taken to force the
local authorities to protect all organ
izers.
1t is expected that a resolution will be
introduced placing the federation on
record as favoring the naming of COM
missioners of labor in the various states
on the recommendations of the various
state federations of labor. This will he
done chiefly to meet the situation which
has developed in this state, where up
to date all avowed candidates for the
commissionership are politicians and
only two are in any way affiliated with
organized labor.

ERNEST LEMkE IN TOWN.
Man With the "Fortune Hunter" Com
pany Has Something to Say on the
Labor Question.
(By ]. L. Compton.l

| (By j. l.. Compton.)
Erny, as we call him back of the cur
tain line, is the travelling stage carpen-
ter with the Fortune Hunter" Com
pany He is a veteran in the business,
though a young man. His home is in
Minneapolis, but he hangs up his hat
in every state in the Union. Last year
while on the road he and his crew were
called out on sympathetic strike in New
Orleans on account of trouble in the
threatres of that city. Through the ef-
forts of his crew and other road crews
of the International Alliance of Stage
Employees, the strike has been settled
satisfactorily. This year everything has
been peaceful on his travel through the
country, until he reached Denver. when
he was informed by International Vice
President F. G. Lemaster that a strike
of the stage employees was on in Victor
Colo, owing to a readjustment of the
wage scale in the theatres of that city
He Immediately got in touch with his
manager and informed him of the facts
lin the case. His manager, on presenta-
ton of the case, promptly cancelled the
date which was to have been played in
that city, substituting Rocky Ford in
place of Victor.
Enry is a great believer in practicing
what he breaches If he is playing in a
city where they are short of union stage
employees. he employees card men of
other unions, who, under his direction,
with the regular house crew, give satis-
factory service. BY having card men
he believes he is following out the old
adage, "God helps them that helps them
Selves" and by giving other union men
work in preference to outsiders he is
not breeding bunch of strike-breakers
to take the place of stage employees
when they are in trouble.
This is the tenth time he has played
Denver in his travels across the conti-
nent with different attractions. For
years he handled the big attractions OF
the Hanlon Bros "Fantasma," Super
ba," and others of like magnitude. He Is
now with the firm of Cohan & Harris
one of the largest producing firms in
New York l must not forget to men
ton that he has an old war horse with
him handling the electrical effects. One
Bill Finn. Bill is no relation to the cele-
brated mickey Finn of newspaper no.
toriety, but his fathers name was Mike
and he is proud of being Mick" him
self. Ed Dart handles the properties
of the show and is of the same stripe
as the rest of the crew. Altogether. the
working staff is one of the best on the
road for looking out for the interest of
their craft and at the same time for the
interests of their employers.
Frank Alexander, stage carpenter of
Elitch's Gardens, has just returned from
arimie. Wyo., where he installed full
equipment for the new theatre in that
city The equipment was built by him
in this city. Frank is the son of the
late ]. C. Alexander. who built the stage
of the Tabor Opera House, and is one
of the best carpenters in Local NO. OF
the Stage Employees. More power to
you, Frank.

l. w. w. A FACTOR.
A. F. of L. Convention Must Consider
Them at Session.

Convention Hail. Rochester, N. Y
Four questions of vital Importance to
the future of organized labor are occhpy-
ing the attention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in annual session in
this city. All will be disposed of before
the convention finally adjourns, but it
seemed certain today that brisk con-
test will precede a definite decision. In
order the problems to be met are:
Complete organization of the
plants of the great steel corpora
Steel company.
Continuation of the struggle to
unionize the metal trades on the Pa
cific coast and to unionize all Los
Angeles industries.
To define methods to be pursued
in dealing with the Industrial Work
ers of the World, where the inter
ests of the two organizations clash.
To decide whether labor shall
maintain its present Independent po-
litcaI attitude or go directly into
politics as an organization.
So far as the unionization of the steel
industry and the Pacific coast features
are concerned, the efforts of the past
year have been discouraging. Outside
of San Francisco, the coast organizations
have not met with the success desired.
In the unionizing of the plants of the
United States Steel corporation, the or
ganizers have encountered serious OBJ
stacles, most of the skilled workers hav-
ing remained aloof while the unskilled
workers have been joining the Industrial
Workers in droves.
Because of this, the question of deal
ing with the I. w. W. loomed up today
as most momentous. None of the dele
gates would discuss it, but privately all
admitted that it would have to be dealt
with. The Industrial Workers leaders.
Vincent st. John, VIM. d. Haywood and
others, are bitterly opposed to the feder-
alton and denounce it at every opportu-
nifty. At Lawrence. Mass, and in Little
Falls, N. Y, at the present time. the two
organizations are at war. And the pres
ent convention must decide what will be
done, but the big clash now seemingly
inevitable comes in connection with the
steel industry.
When the convention resumed its ses-
sions Tuesday 1t was the concensus of
opinion that strong resolutions denounc-
ing compulsory arbitration, as at pres
ent proposed, would be adopted. Presi-
dent Gompers opened the way by declar-
ing In his annual address Monday that
law or no law" the workers would al
ways reserve as their last weapon of de-
tense the right to strike.

WILL ADOPT UNION SCALE.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Contractors perform
ing work for the city will be required to
pay the current scale of wages of organ
lied labor and conform to the hours
worked by union men. That is the
finance committee of the city council has
recommended that such an ordinance be
passed, the opposition to it being only
one member of the committee The bill
regulates all city contracts. stipulating
therein that competent and firstclass
workmen must be employed by contrac-
tors, fixing the hours of labor and wages
to be paid at the current scale, requir-
ing proof of compliance with the ordi-
nance by an affidavit filed with the con-
troller and authorizing deductions to be
made from the contract price for failure
to comply with these conditions. While
it is contended in some quarters that
this legislation will be declared uncon-
|stitutional, yet it has been brought out
that in other cities similar conditions
have been imposed upon city contractors
and have been productive of splendid re-
suits, both to the workmen themselves
and to the city adopting such measures.

JOB PRINTERS GET RAISE.

Toledo.-The job printers in this city
have just signed five-year agreement
with the employing printers which
grants a raise in wages, the increase be-
ing from $1S to $3.50 for the first year
and a half, and the following two and
one-half years 500, and the last year of
the life of the agreement the scale is
advanced to $20.50. The amicable ad-
justment of the scale just mentioned,
with substantial increase in wages,
concludes a series of wage increases se-

the printing trades in this city without
any friction.

A week from today the Bisbee "Y'' basket ball team. the champions of southern Arizona. will leave for I'll PasO to participate in the southwest eTn championship tournament, in which the leading teams of the couth- western part of the United States and northern Mexico will contest for the sheiid, emblematic of peerage and then some in the game of basket ball.
 The Bisbee team lays claim to the championship Of southern Arizona by virtue of having defeated the team of the University of Arizona, which has decidedly defeated the Tucson high school. thus eliminating those two teams from consideration. The teams that will play in the tournament will be the Mormon colony team from Col onia Dublan. Fl Paso Military Institute Fl Paso High School, Fl Paso "" New Mexico A. and M, College of Mesilla Park and the Bisbee "Y."
 The tournament will last two days. TEe local team is the strongest since 1910 when Bisbee won the southwest ern championship.

LABOR WANTS
 EXPLANATION
New Jersey Aspirant is Asked Questions by Or ganiZations of
 Chicago

CHICAGO Feb. 14: Governor Woodrow Wilson must answer the charge made by the Chicago Pattern makers association that he is a foe to organized labor and a reaction ary, masquerading as a progressive" |" An ultimatum has been sent him by the grievance committee of the Chi cago Federation of Labor.
 Quotations from speeches made by Wilson when he was head of Prince ton University and before he became a candidate for political honors were sent him to give him an opportunity 10 explain the reasons for his attitude workmen.
 OnSI of these quotations was from a speech made on South Carolina Tt a dinner in the Waldorf motel in New York March IS, 1907. as follows:
 We speak too exclusively of the capitalistic class. There is another as formidable an enemy to equality and freedom of opportunity as it is, md that class, formed by the labor organizations and leaders of the couDtry-the class representing on- iy a small minority of the labor ing men of the country, quite as monopOlistic in spirit as the capi- talist, and quite as apt to corrupt and ruin our industries by their mon CpOly.'
 The patternmakers charge tfat this is the same sentiment as that expressed by Justice Wright when he sentenced Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison to jail. The other quotation is from a speech made at the Peoples Forum, New Rochelle. N. Y, February 26. 1905. as follows:
 The objection I have to labor un- ions is that they drag the highest 10 the level Of the lowest. l must demur with the labor unions when they say you must reward the dull the same as you reward those with special gifts"
 Ths patternmakerS assert that this is misrepresentation. They say the unions seek to raise the lowest to the standard of the highest.

 At that time Collins fielding was not in keeping with his batting, and for that reason Eddie decorated the bench most of the time. But Mack knew that he had 2. marvel in Collins and that lie would be able to teach him the fielding end He banked or Eddie being a winner for him in 1908. when with his college studies ended. he could make his first southern train ing trip with the Athletics.
 Unfortunately, Eddie contracted ty- phoid fever and was unable to join the team until the season was under way. When Eddie was strong enough he was shifted about, sometimes playing or the infield and sometimes going to right field He continued to bat fierce ly, and Mack was convinced more than ever of Collins worth
 Collins got the first real chance 10 show his worth in 1909 He took his first trip south and was not bothered by illness. Mack made the celebrated switch on the dedication of Shibe Park He placed Collins at second and Murphy in right. It was the greatest move ever made by Mack
 Nobody ever dreamed that Jack Nc lnnis was eventually going to be the Athletics first baseman when he first joined the team in 1908.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. i4.-It is rather odd four regular members of the champion Athletics were not orig finally signed by Manager Mack to play the position tO which they are . now assigned.
 Dan Murphy joined the team in Ei02 as a second baseman. and GOV cred that position with distinction 70 / himself until 1909. when Mack switched him to right field It wasn't long until Murphy was as good an out fielder as he was a second baseman. and today he is rated as the leading right fielder in the American league, barring Sam Crawford and Joe Jack son.
 Rube OIdring joined the Athletics in 1908, not as a center fielder. bus as a third baseman. Mack needed a good man to fill the gap caused by the release of Lave Cross. and he thought he had him in Oldring; but the Rube was out Of the game most of the season with an injured leg, and Mack had to look elsewhere for for third sacker.

 Eddie Collins didn't join the AtE- letics as a second baseman- He was shifted about the team a great deal before it was believed that he was going to make the best second base man in America.
