LABOR ASKS WILSON TO
SEIZE ]. D. JR.' IS Mines
Federal Receivership Until Colorado
Strike Is Settled Urged by
Federation.

Philadelphia, Nov. 1s.-what probably
will be the most important action Of the
American Federation of Labor, now in
annual session here. took place today
when the convention passed a resolution
calling upon President Wilson to take
over the Rockefeller mine interests In
Colorado and hold them under a Federal
receiyership until the operators accept
the Presidents plan TO settle the present
strike.
The federation also asked that the Fed
eral government institute and aid a
countrywide system to improve the
housing OF the poor and that a national
FUND be created from which municipali-
Ties and even private individuals. may
borrow with the purpose OF instituting
model tenements and cottages.
Child labor was characterized as the
most deadly force undermining national
strength and c. lracter.
For the rest of the session. the Com
pers steamroller rolled forward with
amazing efficiency in behalf of con-
servatism. The Socialist attacks on
the religious delegates, which has been
feature OF all recent conventions,
was cut short.
The big rumpus that was scheduled
to break in the fight between the In
ternational Carpenters Union and the
International Sheet Metal Workers or
ganization. was quelled by the chair
before II began and by a glitering
show of parliamentary tactics was re-
ferred to a special committee and the
executive council for decision within
another year.
Gompers' hand did its finest bit OF
magic, however. in tripping and throwing
the Socialist plan for an entire reorgan-
izatiOn OF the federation units which
would endow them with terrific force ih
time of strike. This propaganda, backed
by all the radicals on the fioJr. was TO
include all the members OF all trades
in unit organizations. instead Of basing
the organization on divisions by craft.
Old age pensions for government en-
pioyes, the building OF railroads in Alas
ka under governmental auspices were
among measures to which the fedora
tiOn granted approval
President Gompers opposed PROPOSE
ton to raise his own salary from 5000
to $500. In spite of the objection. the
salary was raised by a vote nf $50 to Sc.
Secretary MorrisOn's salary was raised
from 1900 to 500.

'GAMBOL' ON FOR TODAY
Commissioners Cannot Cooperate with
Relief Body Because Of Fear Neu-
trality Would Be Violated.

Belgian relief workers in Washington
went about their work with added zeal
yesterday. spurred by a new appeal for
assistance to the 7,C0O.OO) people who are
starving. With the appeal there was
given out at the Belgian Legation a letter
| to Americans from King Albert, giving
thanks for assistance and asking for fur
ther aid.
A number OF entertainments given by
| private societies, as well as by the relief
workers, are scheduled. Among them are
the "Darktown Gambol" of the Chorus
| Club of the State, War and Navy, De-
parIments. to be given at the National
Theater this afternoon at AIS o'clock. for
the benefit of the Red Cross, and the
benefit to be given Monday evening at
the Belasco Theater for Belgian and
French sufferers.
The Commissioners yesterday refused to
appoint a committee of men to cooper
ate with the Belgian relief fund commit
tee here, presumably because they fear
a breach of the neutrality policy.
The Commissioners refusal wes made
in letters to Mrs. John A. Logan, chair
man Of the relief committee hare. and
to Arthur c. Moses, who also made the
request.
Sympthy with the humanitarian pur-
poses Of the Belgian relief workers is
expressed in the letter, but for the pres

Yes indeed he does. At least many
times the attention of the one man"

Love stories all tell us Of the hero

Of the features which most attracts

ready. After its use the hair dries rap

DR.. MARDEN'S
UPLIFT TALKS
PURITY IS POWER.
By ORISON SWEET MARDEN,
Author of Pushing to the Front" etc

CCopyriEht, 1914, by the Mcclure Newspaper syndi-
c1te)
MY extreme youth, when I took COM
mand Of the army Of Italy," said Ma
poleon, rendered it necessary that I
should evince great reserve of manners
and the utmost severity of morals. This
was indispensable to enable me to sus-
tain authority over men so greatly nv
superiors in age apd experience. I pur-
sued a line of conduct in the highest de-
gree irreproachable and exemplary. In
spotless morality 1 was A Cato. and must
have appeared so to all. l was a phi
losopher and a sage. Ny supremacy
could be retained only by proving myself
a better man than any other man in the
army. Had I yielded to human weak
nesses, should have lost my power"
Had Napoleon maintained this high
Standard of morals he would have been
a much better and greater man.
To be pure in heart is the youth )
greatest commandment. Do not listen to
men who tell you that vice is a ne
cessity." Nothing is necessity that is
wrong. All wickedness is weakness. Vice
and vigor have nothing whatever in com
mon. Purity is strength, health, power,
character.
Without doubt the strongest men in al!
times, the great men in all ag-S, have
been pure men, clean-minded men. There
is a profound philosophy in Tennyson's
lines:
My strength is as the strength Of ten.
Because my heart is pure"
Purity is power because it means in
The Washington herald., 1914-11-19

tcgrity of thought integrity of conduct
Lit means wholeness. The impure man
cannot be a great power because he can
not thoroughly believe in himself when
conscious that he is rotten in any part
OF his nature. Impurity works like
leaven; it affects everything in a man.
The very consciousness that fmpurity is
working within him robs him of power.
Apart from the moral side of this ques-
ton, let US show how these things affect
/ mans success in life by sapping the
enregtes, weakening the nature, lowering
his standards, blurring his ideals dis
couraging his ambition and lessening his
vitality and power.
In the last analysis of success, the
handspring of achievement must rest in
the strength OF q mans vitality; for
without a stock of health equal to great
emergencies and consistent longevity
even the greatest ambition is compare
lively pOwerless. And there is nothing
that will sap the life forces so quickly
as dissipation and impure living.
People whom We may call sexual neu-
rotics are unbalanced, selfish, usually
cold blooded and lack all sense Of pro-
portion. They are driven under impulse,
committing all sorts of unlawful GRIM
inal deeds.
Is there anything truer than that ITO
be carnally minded is death?"
Keep the imagination Clean" said
Hawthorne; that is one of the truest
conditions Of communion with heaven"
There are plenty Of people who are
extremely fastidious about their bodies
who will feed their minds upon the filth
est literature they can get hold Of They
do not realize that it is a thousand times
worse to take filth into the mind than
into the body. It is said that the minds
phonograph will faithfully reproduce a
bad or impure story even up to the point
OF death. A distinguished clergyman
told me that an impure book was shown
him when a boy, and that although he
had il in his sight but a few moments he
would, in after life, have parted with his
right hand if by so doing he could have
blotted OUT its influence from his mind.
The most dangerous writers in the Eng
lish language are those whose artfuI in
situations and mischievous polish reflect
upon the mind the image of impurity
without presenting the impurity itself
A plain vulgarity in the writer is its own
antidote. 1t is like a foe who attacks US
openly and gives US opportunity for de-
fense. But impurity. secreted under
beauty, is like a treacherous friend who
strolls with US in garden and destroys
US by the odor of poisonous flowers prof
fered to our senses.
