Red Light Victims /.

Pity. oh. pity the red light victims.
Where passion and poverty wrestlc and reign;
Man has made them his licentious subjects
And disgraced them in grief, sorrow and pain.
Somebody's daughter is here in despair,
Somebody's sister, beauty bold,
Somebody's mother lost 10 all shame.
Selling her soul and her body for gold.
Churches and homes must help them reform.
Lifting them out Of their gutter OF grief;
Laws of the state must come to their rescue.
Giving them work and financial relief.
Honor and wealth should help all the fallen
Mercy and charity aid in their fight
Struggling for justice, ever and ever.
Out of the darkness into the light,

Loss Nearly $1,000, 900.

The Monroe is the first steamer lost by
the Old Dominion line during the half
century 1t has been in operation. The
steamer was valued at approximately
s5OO,OOo and her cargo as much more,
making the total loss. exclusive of lives,
about 81 .OCopo
The Monroe was built at Newport
News Va, in 1903. She was of 4,tO4
gross and 1885 net tonnage. Her length
was 345 feet inches. 46 feet inches
beam and 2S feet 6 inches deep. She was
commanded by Capt. f. (. Johnson. Guy
Heneley was first officer. ]. +. Gately,
second officer and John Perkins chief en-
gineer.
The Monroe had a capacity of 243 first
and second cabin passengers. She usual
ly carried a crew of eighty-one men At
this time of the year there was always a
slump in the passenger traffic. accounting
for the small number aboard at the time
of the accident.
The Nantucket, commanded by Capt.
Berry, is of 2,599 gross and 1,767 net ton
mage 274 feet long, AZ feet beam and
carries a crew of forty men. She was

Unable to Meet Assessments.

Mr.. Gompers read a list of all the
unions affiliated with the federation,
stating after each name whether it would
be able to meet an assessment He said
only about two-thirds of the list could
pay.
AN assessment would mean the disin-
tegra ton of the American Federation of
Labor, for the constitution of the organ
ization provides for the expulsion of any
union which does not meet the assess
ments. In all the history Of the fedora
lion. only twelve assessments have been
levied.
1T is just as reasonable to charge the
loss of the fight of the southern confed-
eracy to Jeff Davis it is to charge the
loss of the Michigan strike. if it should
fall, to our executive council. The con-
federacy lost because its resources were
exhausted. JEFF Davis couldn't supply
funds when they were no more and
neither can the executive council
Mr. Gompers detailed in chronolosical
order the steps he and the executive
council had taken to further the strike
and told of the efforts put forth to OBJ
tain federal investigation of the Michigan
and Colorado strikes
Not a thing was asked said Mr..
Giompers. that We did not do, except to
levy an assessment and that was impos-
sible Who. now, can truthfully charge
the executive council with inactivity or

Could Not Overlook Insult.

"By God. that Is more than a human

Gcnpers. He said he had passed over
many insults. but this one could not be
overlooked He said Mcdonald denied
I'm the convention that he had made
the statement and that that was suf-
hcient
Mr.. Mover said his speech had been
correctly reported. when asked by Mr..
Gompers. who then turned to the charge
that the executive board had been mac
tive in regard to the copper strike
Il have given and will continue to give
all that is in me to further the strike of
the copper miners" declared Mr. Com
pers. No accusation could be more un-
lust than that of Mr.. Mover Talk about
the American Federation not raising
money You may not know that the
miners pay only . cents a year to the
american Federation of Labor. That is
all the other organizations affiliated with
the Federation pay also. Do you think We
can accumulate a large defense fund on
that tax?
Mr.. Mover says it cost about $50 600
week. The federation could raise only
$4,000 in six monts, If every organiza-
tion were to pay. That would run the
strikers only three weeks and the organi-
zations have sixty days in which to meet
the assessment.
