lEDEPENDENT LABOR PARTY
Carpenters Start Agitation for Sin
Hour Work Day.

Philadelphia, Nov. 1l.-Yesterday
the real work began in the thirty
fourth annual convention Of the
American Federation of Labor.
i formal effort to start an agIta-
tier for q six-hour work day in all
organized trades was launched. a
delegate representing the United
Brotherhood Of Carpenters marched
the length of convention hall and
showed resolution calling for Il six
hour day into the hands OF Samuel
Gompers, the president Of the feGe-
ration, who was in the chair. llr.
Gompers passed the resolution to the
secretary for later action. The
United Brotherhood OF Carpenters
wish the convention to exert its
weight to establish the siX-hour day
in all trades upon the ground that
the eight-hour day is enervating
and excessive.
Like other resolutions offered by
various delegations, that Of the Car
pcnters was referred to the rcsOlu-
ton committee. There is Il posi-
bility that it may be reported favor
ably later in the week. but it is
doubtful if it will get the support
of the convention at the present ses-
sion.
What was regarded as one Of the
most important resolutions offered
and one which is likely to get unani-
nous support in a general vote, calls
for the organization Of an lndepend-
ent Labor Party in all states and
municipalities to be financed and
generally supported at elections by the
allied labor unions.

 The deceased, who was a. married man, with wife and eight children, four of whom live with their mother in New Bedford, had been out of work due to the temporary closing of the mills, for nine weeks, and had made several remarks lately which tended to show his state of mind
 Only Wednesday afternoon he went to see Dr. Owen O'Neil1 in regard to the state of his health. after earnest solicitation by William Rose, proprie- tor of the Park Central and was told he would have to undergo an opera tions. At the interview he told the doctor that he felt like taking his life, and, on being reasoned with against such a deed, said: If you knew what was up against, wou wouldn't blame me" On his return from the visit, MT. Rose said, he was very Respondent and if he had known that Howard had the revolver in his possession he would have tried to obtain possession of it before Howard left him for the night
 snort tune ago one or Howard'S s daughters, who lives in San Diego, Cal. offered to take care of him. but he did not have the price of a ticket, and it is supposed did not want to write out there for the necessary amount to purchase his transportation to the coast.
 A note was left behind by the dead man arranging for the disposition of the few belongings he had with him, so that the deed was clearly premed- itated. The writing of the note. how ever was scraggly and considerably unlike his ordinary writing. Everyone who was acquainted with Howard speaks well of him, and when the news was circulated about that he had made way with himself expressions of sympathy and pity were heard on all sides.
