Trade Unionists Are Great Con.
structive Force in Seattle
Convention.
SOCIALISTS THERE
WITH USUAL NOISE
Gompers Suggests That Calumet
and Hecla Property Title
May Be Void.

The convention Of the American
Federation of Labor now closing at
Seattle was fraught with many SEN
sations during its sessions. The news
accounts contained many tories of the
activities of the so-called "administra-
ton and progressive forces. Tho
administration" delegates are the
tried and true trade unionists, while
the ''progressive' delegates are the
Socialists. In this instance, the word
progressive" Is adroitly used by tho
Socialists to mislead the workingmen
into the belief that trade unionists
are reactionary.
The Socialist Is willing to be a
progressive" on the industrial battle
field, but he SHES from the word, like
a young colt from a shadow, In his
political activities. Here he does not
want progress, he wants revolution.
The Socialist daily papers spent much
Of their space during the past two
" eeks in reporting the downfall" OF
Gompers and his brand Of trade-union-
ism. However, 1t is noted that few
of the Socialist delegates possessed
tht courage to vote against resolu-
tions introduced by the "admin'stra-
tion," all of which are intended to
promote the interests Of the working
classes.
Strong on Indictments.
AS an indictinE element the Social
lists are without peers anywhere, but
as q constructive force few Of them
are capable of rendering useful SER
vice. Most Of them, in effect. repre-
sent the Socialist party in the conven-
ton rather than the trade unions
which sent them there, and whic1,
pay their expenses. However. their
presence in the convention has its
virtues. They make q mighty inter-
esting and militant minority: their
activities keep the ssonssExataves 4Eo!a
remaining In q ruk. and out 0l the
two extremes we are getting whole
some progress.
The Socialists divided over the
question of forming a labor po-
litical party. The convention de-
clared that the time Is not ripe
for such. but trade unions should
look forward to increasing political
activity. This was affirmed as the
position of the American Federation
Of Labor. which today adopted by q
vote of 1913 to 19 a declaration OF
principles recommended by the reso.
lutions committee as follows:
While political developments are
encouragingly progressive and should
be continued and further developed
we believe that the time has not ar.
rived when, with due regard for thu
economic movement, still young anI

Rzed at more than $60OO,OOO, and which is
worth but $1,500,000, by charging cents
flde for carrying passengers, the: city would
have no trouble in paying the expenses of
operation the interest on bonds and charging
off for depreciation, if it could acquire the
plant at it's true value. It could do all of
this and give ten rides for a quarter.
If the city owned the plant it's traction en-
ployes would be better paid; they would work
shorter hours to earn a living wage, and
granted to them. These are same of the virtues

point. i, -@.' -..
City: ownership Of the street railway system
would mean operation for service rather than
for profit. We would be interested only in
making the city owned system self-sustaining,
and before materially reducing fares we would
extend the lines to portions of the city that are
now neglected by the private company for fear

REPUBLICAN LEADER
IS STRIKE BREAKER
Congressman Mann Declares Con-
gress Is on Strike and He Pro-
poses to Break It.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.-"There
is a bad strike In Colorado. there Is
a bad strike in Michigan, there is a
is a worse strike In the house of rep
resentatives. and as for me, I am go
ing to do my best to break It," said
Representative Mann, the floor leader
of the minority.
This statement was brought forth
as result of a request on the part
of Representative Heating of Colo
rado. for an hour to get the house to
pass resolution calling for an imme-
diate investigation of the labor con-
ditions in seven counties of his state.
The strikers in Colorado and
Michigan and Indianapolis lose their
pay when they quit work and go on
strike." said Mr.. Mann, but the
strikers Of the house of representa-
tives go on drawing their salaries just
the same whether they are attending
to their business or not. Perhaps that
is why the strike Is 50 hard to break.
AS for me. intend to keep on trying
to get quorum here to pass such
needed resolutions as these"
Representative Mann blocked the
Keating resolution, although he ad-
mitted the serious conditions in Colo
rado and elsewhere
The resolution now in the hands of
the rules committee. asks for an in
vestigation Of nine phases of the Colo
rado strike, including the sugEestion
that the postal facilities are being in
structed; immigration and naturaliza-
ton laws being violated in the coal
fields. and coercion on the part Of
employers in the voting of employees.

:.ssHDid you read the paid advertisement of
thJ Duluth Street Railway company in the
two daily newspapers this week7 It probably
will appear in the weekly papers also; all ex-
cepting The Labor World w. -.
The Labor World has not refused the ad-
vertlsing patronage of the street railway COM
pany. 1t is not that; we would be pleased to
have the business. but we can not get it, and
the reason we can not get it is that we refuse
to permit any advertiser to influence the. edi.
torisl policy of this paper =. -.
The Labor World believes in the public
ownership of the street railway system. The
paid advertisements of the Duluth Street
Railway company are being used to head off
public ownership, just as the Duluth Edison
Electric company used paid space in the news
papers shortly before the people voted to
build lighting plant, and it too made the
mistake of advertising only in such papers as
were friendly or neutral :: -. ;:
The Labor World refuses to even be neu-
tral. This is the only paper in Duluth that
all the time fights the battles of the people.
We may not be able to exert as much influence
at once as the daily papers, but our constant
pounding away tells in the end and we win,
and the people win; and privilege loses It
is this that makes the fight worth, while,
Traction officials the country over delight
to quote Mr.. James Dalrymple, who, has
charge Of the municipality owned and operated

after carefully examining the situation in
America, came out in opposition to municipal
ownership here. ..> ---,t.
But that does not alter the situation Mr..
Dalrymple's Judgment on American municipal
conditions is not worth anything. He had no
opportunity to get broad view Of city con
ditions: He was thrust in contact only with
the kind of men the traction people thought
it safe for him to meet, and he left the coun-
try with the kind of bias we would get if he

OLD SOLDIERS TRIP
 ID A BATTLE FIELD
Legislature to be Asked to Appro r'ate for Gettysburg Trans
 portaton

The legislature will be asked to
 make an appropriation of $1.0O0 to defray the expenses of transpOrta- ton of such former soldiers of the blue or the gray Wao participated n the battle of Gettysburg and who may wish to attend the celebration
 the fiftieth anniversary of that great struggle The celebration will begin on July ?. The initiative in the mat
 ter Of the celebration was taken by
 the state of Pennsylvania which ap-
 propriated $250,000 for that. to be
 devoted largely to the entertainment
 free of charge or the old soldiers who will gather at the famous battlefield.
 A commission Oc nine was appoint
 cd by the state to further the project
 Congress was requested to appoint
 three commissioners from each house
 and the governor of every state was
 requested to name one commissioner.
 Modification was sent out by th"
 state of Pennsylvania saying that all
 honOrably discharged soldiers of either side would b. entertained as guests for the four days of the cclc-
 bration. This notification came dur
 ing the administration Of Governor
 Sloan, who named W. C. Hartranft as commissioner for Arizona and Mir. Hartranft with the assistance of General A. J Sampson has found seven Gettysburg soldiers four con fedcrates and three union.
 Several of the states have already made appropriation for the trans portation of their representatives at Gettysburg and it Is to do likewise that the legislature will be asked. Mir. Iartranft brought the matter to the atcntion of Governor Hunt. who told him that he was favorable to such an appropriation and would gladly sign q bill providing for it. It is not thought tha, so much as 5000 will be needed but an appro- ! priation Of that much will be asked for, as much as may be necde-l. to be expended.
 The federal government had appro- | priatcd $100.000 for the celebration that will be used in the construction of a camp under the direction Of the 1 war deDartment
