BUFFALO, y. Y, Nov. 19.-Re-
election Of Samuel Gompers as
president Of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor and endorsement OF
the war policies laid down by him
self and his associates on the execu-
tive council became a certainty
today as the annual convention en-
tered its closing stages.
The insurgent delegates, after
looking over the situation during
the past week. have been able to
discover no prospects of success Of
any movement 10 overthrow the
present ruling regime Of the organ
ization They have found Mr..
Gompers, backed by Priest Wilson,
so firmly intrenched as the head OF
the federation and his policies so
closely in accord with the views OF
the majority that they have de-
cided all kicking over the traces
must be deferred for another year.
Showdown This Week.
This does not mean that war and
peace are not 10 be discussed by
the convention but that if it is the
issue will be precipitated from the
inside by those in control. The
showdown will come about the mid
die of the week when the executive
council report, containing the war
aims of American labor, is brought
up for adoption or rejection. There
is no doubt about the adoption Of
the report: the size of the vote in
favor Of IL is the only matter OF
interest now. 1t is predicted the
report will receive a majority suf-
ficient TO convince the world that
American labor stands unitedly
behind the administration in the
conduct Of the war.
Busy Week Ahead.
The convention today began what
promises TO be a busy week More
than 200 resolutions are before the
convention demanding action. Up
TO today most OF the time has been
consumed by committee work in
preparing various questions for sub
mission TO the convention proper but
beginning today there will be an
uninterrupted transaction OF bus
mess by the main body.
No convention of the federation
in recent years has been marked by
such harmony as the present one
despite the predictions OF stormy
sessions over war questions. Pres't
Wilson'S plea for closer team work
on the opening day has been largely
responsible for this while the per
feet control Of the leaders has ac-
complished the rest.

A CARD OF APPRECIATION.


Roger Vail, who passed away in this
city last week, was one of the best
known Irishmen in the northwest. In
his death the religion he so earnestly
espoused and the nationality he so
Loyalty upheld have lost a most worthy
and faithful champion. Born in the
"old land" his tongue and pen were
ever ready in the advancement of her
interests and we'll he did his part.
From the time my brother and N.Y.
self established The Irish Standard in
1886 he had been with the paper, at
intervals, for a number of years., en-
ployed by us in an editorial capacity.
He was an excellent writer and his
work in behalf of church and country
will long remain in, the memory of
thousands, not only here, but through
out the great northwest.
During one of the intervals thus
referred to Mr., Vail went into business
for himself about fifteen years ago.
With what means he had at that time
he started a Catholic paper in Duluth,
but it failed in about six months.
Thereafter he returned to this city.
In a particular manner must he be
given credit for the part he took in
the early days in driving bigotry from

You see I'm not fighting man
I wasn't built that way;
There's plenty of guys who have no
sense,
To take the army pay
And go on hikes and take chance
On losing leg or so,
But I'll stick round and play the girls
And get civilian dough.
I'm not cut out for the hero class, B.
And I don't stand for bunk
About the country needing me,
And all that sort of junk;
For I'd sooner be a jackal here
Than lion at the 'front.'
I guess they won't be missing me,
I'll do my regular stunt
svHEz
No, son, I wasn't fighting man
When was kid like you;
But, OH the price paid in kind
For the thing did not do!
And, oh, the sneers I've had to face,
And the chill that grips my heart,
When think of the things might
have had,
Had I only done my part.
l won my place in the world of wealth,
And men have bowed to my will;
But I've seen the tear in your
mothers eye
For the place do not fill,
When the ranks file by on Memory's
Day
And I know she feels the dread
Of the sneering laugh of the boys of
old,
For me-to my country dead.

DEATH OF PIONEER
newspaper MAN
Continued from page y

In 1890 began his connection with
the Irish Standard which had been es-
tablished in 1885 by the brothers, Ed
ward and John O'Brien, and had at
tanned a position Of influence and
strength. Mr.. Vail was placed in
charge of the editorial and news de-
partments and continued in the SER
vice of the paper, with the exception
of few years, until the year 1910.
In 1902 he went to Duluth and began
there the publication of Catholic
weekly paper, which was called the
Northwestern Messenger, but this VEN
ture proved unsuccessful, and the pub
LEGATION was dicontinued after an eX-
istence of only six months. In this
enterprise Mr.. Vail had invested the
savings of his whole life which had
reached tidy sum of money, that
would have been sufficient to provide
comfortably for his old age. Return
ing to Minneapolis he resumed work
on the Standard and continued his
services thereon until 1910. After
wards he was engaged for some time
as solicitor for the Catholic Bulletin
of st. Paul. His health having brok-
en- down, about five years ago he was
obliged to abandon all labor and lived
in retirement.
Active in Irish and Catholic Interests.
Mr.. Vail was an active worker in
all movements tending to the advance
ment of the cause of his race and
creed, while at the same time appre-
ciative of the dignity and honor of
American citizenship. 1t was in the
field of racial and religious contro-
versy that he achieved the distinction
which he enjoyed at the period
of his greatest activity, and which won
for him hosts of friends and admir-
ers in the community. With tongue
and pen he responded ably and bril-
liantly when the occasion demanded,
to combat the slurs and insults which
were in those days being constantly
hurled at his creed and nationality.
