SAMUEL G0NIPERS UNANIMOUSLY ~ RE ELECTED PRESIDENT
ANERICA AN FEDERA ALTON OF LABOR AT BUFFALO MEETING
HEAD OF NATIONAL La
BOR MOVEMENT FOR
THIRTY-SIX YEARS.
Other Incumbeuts Continued in
Office With the Exception of
Treasurer Lennon, Who Is
Defeated by Tobin; Meet
at St. Paul Next June.

Samuel Gompers was unanimously
reelected president of the American
Federation of Labor at the closing
session of the thirty-seventh annual
convention in Buffalo last Saturday.
Gompers has been president of the
Federation since its organization in
1852 with exception of one term, when
ne was defeated (1S95) by John Nc
Bride of the United Mine Workers.
Samuel Gompers has grown in worth
ana influence until today, next to
President Wilson, he is the most no
tentlal citizen of the United States.
st. Paul was selected as the next
place of meeting, and the date for
holding the annual convention having
been changed from November to June,
1t Will be only seven months until the
next Federation meeting.
More big subjects were debated and
acted upon at the Buffalo convention
than ever before at a national labor
assembly. The presence and address
OF President Wilson made new history
IN the American labor movement
No Place for Pacifists.
The convention went squarely upon
record in support of the government
IN the war crisis, against any sugges-
ton of peace until Prussian autocracy
is dethroned, and endorsed every step
taken by Gompers to advance the ma
ton cause.
In the election of officers there was
only one contest John B. Lennon of
the Journeyman Tailors Union, for
more than quarter century treasurer
of the Federation and member of the
Executive Council, was defeated by
Daniel J. Tobin, president of the Inter
national Teamsters Union. Some of
the newer internationals have grown
very fast in membership during the
past few years and are demanding
recognition in the officials councils of
the Federation.
All the vice presidents and Secre-
tary Frank Morrison were reelected
by unanimous vote of the convention.
Only One Colorado Delegate.
Charles H. Meyer, president of the
International Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers Union, was the only Colorado
representative in the convention.
The complete roster of officers chos-
en- is as follows:
Samuel Gompers, president.
James Duncan, first vice president.
James O'Connell, second vice presi-'
dent
Joseph F. Valentine, third vice
