MINERS CLASH ON PLAN
TO lNDORSE SOCIALISM
Bitter Debate is Opened in convcn,
ton Over Resolution to Approve
Party-ciylc Federation Assaulted.

indianapolis. After the conven-
ton Of the United Mine Workers
=. America had gone on record as ia
voring government ownership Of in
dustries, the Socialists among the l..
300 delegates launched a resolution
iLdorsing their party as the political
party Of the working Glass;" but It
met resistance. Stormy debate fol
lowed and the question went over.
Action also was deferred on a reso-
luton providing that the United Mine
Workers should withdraw from the
Civic Federation as an agent Of cap
italists and sharply criticising Samuel
Gompers, John Mitchell and other
leaders Of the Federation OF Labor for
cooperation with the Civic Fedora
ton.
The resolutions committee reported
it nonconcurred in the resolution com
hitting the organization TO the Social
ist party and because the constitution
stipulates It shall be nonpolitical.
John Walker, president Of the I'LL
ncis miners, speaking for the Social
lists, intimated that if necessary an
effort would be made TO amend the
constitution so that the national union
could indorse the Socialist party.
Antagonists to the resolution provid-
ing for secession from the American
Federation Of Labor appeared in both
the conservative and the Socialist fac
tions.
Samuel Gompers was characterized
as a "reactionary" by Thomas L.
Lewis, former national president of
the miners.
AS long as Gompers is at the head
of the federation 1t viii oppose the
general industrial organization, as
contrasted with the separate crafts
union idea" he said. But the time
viii come when leaders in the fedora
ton will be compelled to step down
or come over to the principle Of a
closed formation. working for the
benefit OF the whole laboring class"

STATE MAY ASSIST
BLACK RIVER FALLS
immediate Action Urged at a
Conference in Milwaukee.
SPECIAL SESSION FAVORED
Another Meeting With Governor to
Consider Advisablity of Calling
Legislature Together - Members
Would Receive No Pay. \

Milwaukee.-The conference of
committees CT the Merchants and
Manufacturers association and the
Chamber of Commerce, which met
with Gov Francis E. McGovern here,
decided to recommend the calling of
a special session of the legislature to
consider the matter of assisting the
cit.' of Black River Falls to rebuild
the dam which was destroyed in the
food of last fall.
1t was the sense of the meeting
that the state is morally responsible
for the destruction of any dam, and
that Wisconsin should make some
provision to assist the citizens of
Black River Falls to have the river
flow back into its original cour5e. No
money can be loaned Black River
Falls unless the Legislature makes
the appropriation.
A meeting in the governors office
at Madison will be held to decide the
cost of special session and the ap-
proximate lime it would take to ac-
complish the object.
In the event a special session is
called, members of the legislature
would be required to serve without
compensation. The only money they
would receive would be for mileage.
