NEW A. F. OF |. METHOD

Secretary of Labor to Ad-
dress Convention Tomorrow.
Gompers Raps Judges.

SEATTLE, Wash. November IL
when the American Federation of
Labor assembled today for its second
days session il was ready to take up
and debate the reports of committees
The new method of combining all the
annual reports into one. and that is
sued by the executive council, is said
to have accomplished a saving of two
days in the work of the convention
The report of the executive council was
divided up into several topics. and each
turned over to its proper committee
for action Resolutions submitted by
delegates were referred at once to- the
committee on resolutions without even
being read by title.
Secretary Wilson of the Department of
Labor will address the convention tomor-
row. So far there has been no outward
sign of revolt against the old officers OF
the convention and continuance of the
policies that have been followed
No Convention Next Year.
Fort Worth, Tex, has asked for the
next convention. but it virtually has been
decided to hold no meeting next year and
to assemble in San Francisco in 1915.
Il promise you that this convention
shall be All open FORUM" said President
Samuel Gompers yesterday, addressing
the American Federation of Labor's open
ing session, land if we have a word to
say Of Judge Wright or Judge Humpnries
or Judge Jeffries were going to say it.
I'VE believe it is not in the power Of
a judge to interfere with the exercise of
free assemblage, free speech and free
press These rights We're won from un-
willing monarchs on the other side OF
the Atlantic and placed In our national
and state constitutions at great cost OF
life, and do you suppose we shall surren-
der them?
When judge clothed in a little brief
authority assumes powers decided to the
President and the Congress it is a duty
to protest"
Secretary Wilson sat at Gompers' side.

left the executive offices today after a
conference with President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan. Mr.. Pindell went to the
Presidents offices with Secretary Bryan
and his personal friend, Assistant Attor-
ney General Graham of the Department
of Justice The conference was some
what protracted, and all who had taken
art declined to talk. The presence of
Mr.. Graham led to intimations that Grim
inal prosecution of the person who tilched
letter from Senator Lewis to Mr.
Pindell might be contemplated. but no
body would admit it. The criminal prose-
cution idea was somewhat frowned upon.
May Have Declined the Post.
The belief continues to prevail that
Mr.. Pindell under all the circumstances,
has suggested to the President that he
does not care about the enthusiastically,
thereby settling the problem.
The case S sad to have been discussed
at the cabinet meeting later in the day
along with Mexico and numerous other
matters but cabinet officers would not
go into details or make admission.
Gov-elect Walsh of Massachusetts was
introduced to President Wilson today by
Col. Z. NJ. House of New York. Texas

President was pleased when informed
that the big factor IN support for the

week ago was the confidence of the peo-
pie in the national administration and
especially in the Presidents stand for
