SAILING VESSELS
WILL CARRY OIL

Exporters, Unable to Charter
Steamships, E n g a g e
Schooner Fleet Flying
American Flag.

Old days along the river front are to
be revived Within few weeks a fleet
OF schooners will sail on transatlantic
voyages carrying oil in barrels. The de-
mand for this product from Scandinavian
ports Is so heavy, and the supply of
available steamship tonnage so light,
that oil exporters here, rather than lose
tho business, are making inquiry for the
expectations of It in sailing ships.
The rates the owners of the sebooners
| are asking is considered high, but it is
believed shippers will be compelled to
accept 1t. Plans for the loading of at
least one schooner were made today.
In anticipation of the voyage across
the Atlantic, masters Of the schooners
are obtaining from the Hydrographio
Office charts Of the sailing tracks, the
Dover Straits and the English Channel.
They are spending hours each day over
them. studying so the navigating of the
big stickers" will not be difficult when
the business starts.
IL mas been nearly a quarter of a
century since schooner left here bound
for European port and none has come
here in the last decade.
The principal work of schoonera has
been the carrying of cargoes along the
coast from Novia Scotia to Gulf ports.
This trade in the last few months has
been stagnant. Vessel owners were fac
ing poor season until the call eama
for transatlantic voyages.
AT first they were skeptical at accent
ing any such voyages, as the risk was
considerable. The shippers of the ves-
sells now in port have importuned tba
owners to accept the freight This, IL
is believed. will be done.
Captain Olsen, Of the American shin
John Ena, one of the biggest square,
rlgged vessels under the American flag
has been approached for a trans-AtIan,io
voyage. He has wired the owners ar
San Francisco and is now awaiting
reply. In the meantime he will carry the
cargo of sugar he brought here fro,,,
Hawaii around to New York.
The ships William P. Frye and the Ed
ward Sewall, which have been rivala or

recall to mind the days when the star
and Stripes were supreme upon the seven
seas because of the courage and fear

FACTIONS PREPARING FOR
WAR IN A. F. L. CONVENTION
Battle Expected on Question of Changing Form of Organ
ization From Craft to Industrial Lines

Although the two warning factions in
the American Federation of Labor have
thus far envinced little evidence of their
struggle on the floor of the convention,
that struggle is manifested in the heated
discussions which take place in the
Hobbies OF the hotels where delegates are
staying. 1t will later be carried to the
floor Of the convention in the discussion
Of the problems of principle and organi-
zatlon which are expected to take place.
Already a resolution has been intro
duced for the reorganization OF the
American Federation of Labor upon in
dustrial lines, which means the reor-
ganization of the federation on the basis
OF industries. instead OF crafts.
A long and bitter debate is expected
ON this resolution. The radicals, con-
slsting of the progressive element in the
federation and the Socialists, maintain
that craft" unlonlsm has outgrown its
usefulness, that 1t has become impotent
In the struggle of organized labor against
organized capital because 1t is no longer
capable of wrestling with the complex
problems Of industry.
OPPOSED BY CONSERVATIVES
The conservative element, with Presl-
dent Samuel Gompers at the head. is not
inclined to accept this theory, Although
Gompers himself admits the wisdom and
necessity of industrial unionism, the radl-
cal element contends he has stood in the
way of it's practical application now.
There arc three or four large organiza-
tions within the American Federation of
Labor which are organized on Industrial
lines Among these are the United Mine
Workers of America. with a membership
OF 100, 900; the Western Federation OF
Miners. with a membership of 5000, and
the United Garment Workers OF America
with a membership OF 100000.

when he tossed his magazine aside in the
Pullman and stepped on the hard boards
of the Broad Street Station platform.
He had never been here before. So he
started out to give Philadelphia "the once

two, perhaps more. to get his bearings
But 1t appears that he lost them soon
after his arrival and finally lost him
self. While at 18th and Market streets
he asked several mere Philadelphians to
direct him to 42d and Broadway, where
ths world lived" Some laughed In his
face, others were sorry,
Finally. Mr.. Hardman went out in the
middle OF the car track and blew a tin
whistle. That was about 3 o'clock in the
morning. Policeman Archdeacon hap
psned along. and, true to his name, talked
to Hardman in soft tones, It was use

the convention of the department in this
city the latter part of last week The
subject was referred to a committee for
investigation and report.
The entire progressive element of the
American Federation of Labor, however,
comprises only one-third of the member
ship of the A. F. of L., the other two
thirds being organized along craft lines.
The ''progressives" accuse President
Gompers and his followers of maintain
Ing backward policy of economic action
and political lobbying; the Gompers ele-
ment contends that the progressives are
Visionaries and would like to bring
the millennium by a single stroke.
The progressives, aided by the Social
lists, contend that Mr. Gompers and his
school are phrase mongers," that be-
yond writing eloquent reports and dis
cussing problems which, In many cases
have nothing to do with the labor move
ment, they do nothing; that under the
leadership of Gompers and his school OF
pure and simple trade unionism'' the
American Federation of Labor has made
no strides for the last Is years.
Mr.. Gompers replies to this that the
American Federation of Labor is not to
be judged by European standards, that
II is a distinctly American organization
and must follow American lines of or
ganization and propaganda.
DIFFER ON POLITICS.
There is also a wide difference between
the Socialist members and "the Gompers
school, on the questions of the political
organization OF the working class, and
GOmpers adheres to a theory OF reward
your friends and punish your enemies"
The opposition contends that the workers
should be organized in a political party
Of its own. having a distinct economic
policy and platform.
Mr.. Gompers maintains that politics is
private matter and should not be in
Jected into the unions.
The prOgressiyes or radicals are repre-
scented by such men as Adolph Germer,
Duncan Mcdonald, John Walker and
Frank Hayes, all OF the United Mine
Workers, and Joseph Cannon. OF the
Western Federation OF Miners. The con-
servatives are represented by Samuel
Gompers, James Duncan, James O'ConnelI
and John B. Lennon.
