Estimate of IdahO's Potato Crop
Show Big Figures.

An estimate of Idaho's potato
crop is being made and will be
about as follows:
Twin Falls region. ....220O cars,
rayette valley. . .... 600 cars.
coS '"AfSs -. -. 49,. 4UU cars.
Snake river rigion. =. 200 cars
Other territory. :. .... 200 carss
Total f.. 1900 cars.
At an estimate of 1900 pounds
or 500 bushel to the ear, these fig
ures are equal to 2,l60, 600 bushels
which is 140,400,000 pounds.
This means that Idaho must shin
out more than 5000 cars of spuds
which means further that 100 hustl-
Ing fellows must each find a market
Tor thirty cars of potatoes or else

Grafton. who is a delegate for the glass
workers union, also attacked the Social
lists. He said:
This is a convention Of trades union
lists and not of a political party. Money
of trades unionists sent us here to work

ton of Labor can show more results In
the election of men TO Congress than can
the party which protests our policies. l

comes to talk partisan politics send him
out OF here to a political convention.

Delegate Conroy, of the foundry en-

shouted at the Socialist:
They represent a political party that
never has and never will join hands for
a Just cause with the pure trades union
movement

GOMPERS ASSAILS
SOCIALIST PARTY
Denounces Them as Enemies of
Trades Unions at Federation
of Labor Convention.
CHEER LEADER WILDLY
DURING HIS OUTBURST
Delegates Back Him Up as He De,
clares Danger Is from With
in Own Ranks.

Rochester, n. 7, Nov. Is-The Social
ist party was Warmed up bit in the
Federation of LABOR convention to-day
at the conclusion of six hours OF dis
Cussion over the Sherman antitrust law
and the Danbury hatters' case.
At times the speakers studlously evaded
direct reference to the name OF the
party or exact designation Of the dele
gates. But as the debate rose sharp the
curtain was ripped away.
The climax came when President Com
pers yielded the chair to Vice President
O'ConneIl. He brought a careful analysis
OF the days discussion right up to the
Socialist bridge, and then fought his
way across. And he had the bulk OF the
delegates behind him all the way.
President Gompers said:
Il won't have any man place me in
the position of failing to defend the
hatters or any set of men in their posi-
ton
Defends Trades Unions.
Don't you know you men Of that party
won't support a trades union working
man? Don't you know that II John
Mitchell had given his consent he would
have received the nomination as Vice
President a year ago. Would you have
voted for him?"
Voices cried out, Mo-
''Of course you wouldn't" retorted the
speaker. When in Illinois, It was pro-
posed to name John Mitchell as candi-
sdate for Governor. an active member
of that party who advocated Mitchell S
selection was obliged to resign from that
political party to save himself from ex-
pulsion.
Don't for a moment imagine that I
am in fear that there is any power great
enough TO destroy our movement. No
one can do that but ourselves.
Danger Is from Within.
Our greatest danger is from within
not the outside. Our only danger is from
our own shortcomings, our chickering's,
and our divisions. If We were as united
in action as We are in spirit we would
obtain more readily those things We de-
mand.
81 owe allegiance to no political party
I owe my allegiance to trades unionism
and to no other organization. And I'll
mold that position until dry up and blow
away"
For three minutes the convention
cheered this conclusion, while a quartet
Of leading Socialist delegates were on
their feet demanding permission to pro-
pound questions.
