Unanimously Reelected as
President of American
Federation of Labor
1917 CONVENTION
WILL GO TO BUFFALO
Trade Union Movement in
Mexico Will Be a Peace
Factor, Says Delegate

Baltimore, Nov. 27.-That the spread
of the trades union movement in Mexico
would go far toward keeping that coun-
try and the United States at peace was
the substance of an address shortly be-
fore the final adjournment Saturday
night of the American Federation of La
Dor convention by Carlos Loveira, a fra
ternal delegate from Yucatan, Mexico.
IF war between Mexico and the Unit
ed States should come through the ma.
chinations of capitalists, many of our
workers would know what to do said
Loveira. 1--WE realize we would not meet
in battle the oil kings or the railroad
kings or other exploiters, but that we
would meet brother workers
Buffalo was chosen over Fort Worth
Tex, as the meeting place for the 1917
convention, and the following officers
were reelected unanimously no other
names having been presented;
President, Samuel Gompers; first vice.
president, James Duncan; second vice.
president, James O'Connell; third vice.
president, D. A. Hayes; fourth vice
president, Joseph H. Valentine; fifth
vice president, John r. Alpine; sixth
vice president, H. B. Perham, seventh
vice president, Frank Duffy; eighth vice.
president, William Green; treasurer,
James B. Lennon; secretary Frank Nor
rison.
Fraternal delegates elected to the next
British trades union congress were: John
Golden Of New York, president of the
United States textile workers; Frank
harrington, president of the Illinois
branch united mine workers; fraternal
delegate to the next Canadian trade la
Dor congress, Emanuel Koyeleskie of
Rochester, n Y.
The report of special committee APP
pointed to prepare a statement of the
principles upon which the federation de
clares its position with respect to mill
tarism' was adopted unanimously.
1.-THE American trades union movement
is convinced by the experience of man
kind" says the report, that militarlsm
even in its less horrid manifestations,
brutalizes those influenced by the spirit
of the institution.
1--WE are unalterably opposed to any
form of physical training or any quality
OF mental education which would tend to
inculcate the spirit OF militarism. The
child's immature and impressionable
mind must not be taught to think, ex
eept with horror upon the killing of hui
man beings To arouse the thought that
any OF their school hours are devoted to
preparations for the possible use OF arms
against their fellow men, is to brutalize
their instinct and subvert the influence
of the necessary lessons of humanity,
peace and good viii which it is the duty
Of our public schools to impress upon
them"

Special To The Washington Herald.
Baltimore, May 13-Rev. DR.. Oliver
Huckel, pastor of Associate Congrega-
tional Church, with the COOPERATION OF
some thirty other pastors whose
churches took part in the late Billy Sun
day evangelistiC campaign, has made an
analysis of the trail-hitters and investi-
gated the results of the campaign. His
analysis shows that Of the 1900 trail
hitters fully One-half were already con-
verts. nearly one-fOurth were indefinite
quantities and about one-fourth fair
prospects" That is, it now appears that
only 5000 of the 5000 trail-hitters were
possible accessions to the churches.
Concerning the grand total of % 600
trail-hitters, DR. HuCkel said that he
had been interested to ascertain the real
facts and that he is now able to give
probably the FIRST analysis OF what these
figures really mean from hrst hand
knowledge.
PersOnRI inquiries Made.
Il have had the cooperation OF thirty
or more representative pastors in getting
at these inner facts by their personal in
vestigatIon and nm examination Of ac-
tual results In their own churches and
denominations" he explained This
revelation will also help to explain the
published figures of the campaigns in
other cities, for the general proportions
will hold elsewhere, as have ascer-
tanned"
The analysis is as follows:
/. or the 1900 tTail-hitters officially
reported by the Baltimore campaign
committee more than haIi-at least r.
Nr-were ALREADY church members who
hit the trail in special delegations or to
encourage some one else or to reconse-
