GOMPERS AGAIN
HEADS A. F. Of |.
Elected President of 0rganiza-
ton for Thirty-Ninth Time.
VOTE is ALMOST UNANIMOUS
Only One Negative Ballot Recorded
Against the Veteran Labor Leader
Salary Is Raised to $4,000
Against His Plea.

Montreal, June 19.-Samuel Com
pers, veteran president of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor was reflect
ed for the thirty-ninth time by the con-
ventiOn here
Gompers' nomination by George w.
Perkins Of the Cigar Makers union
was the signal for prolonged ovation
by the delegates, who stood and
cheered for several minutes. James
Duncan of Seattle is recorded as cast
ing the only negative vote.
Gompers faced critical issue
threatening his power when the con-
vention came to consideration of its
position regarding the League of Ma
tons.
He was Overwhelmingly defeated in
Thursdays session when the fedora
ton voted for government ownership
of the railroads.
Wilson League Demanded.
The committee on International re-
1atlonS is ready to make it's report,
which will call on the convention to de-
mand that the United States senate
ratify the league without reservations.
This is in accordance with President
Gompers' position.
The Irish sympathizers, supported
by other elements, are determined to
prevent this action on the grounds that
the covenant cannot be approved by
organized labor as long as it denies the
Irish people the right of self-determi-
nation.
Refusing to heed Gompers' plea that
$4,000 a year is ample, the convention
raised the salary Of the president to
$4,000 a year.
The federation authorized a nation
wide campaign to organize all the tele-
phone operators. State declarations,
city central bodies and volunteer or
ganizers are to take the field at once
in the campaign.
The convention declared it's action
was necessary because of the "oppres-
sive anti-labor policy Of the Bell Tele-
phone company and it's associated COM
panies."
Reconsidering it's action Of Thurs
day in amending It's constitution to in
crease the executive council from II
to Is members, the convention rejected
the amendment by vote Of 23,O97 to
1884. This action prevents the cleo
ton Of four additional vice presidents.
Designate Memorial Day.
The fourth Sunday in May Of each
year was designated as labor's Me-
mortal day, on which labor throughout
the country will pay tribute to the
memory of it's dead. The churches will
be asked to cooperate in the observ-
ance of Labor Sunday preceding Labor
day in September.
The national steel organizing cam
paign headquarters at Pittsburgh will
not be abandoned. While the activities
Of the headquarters staff will be limit
ed until a new national committee Is
organized it will keep up propaganda
among the steel workers.

all motor oil looks pretty

well as strength OF mind is a great
need Of the day. There never was a
time, he said, when life was so COM
plex as il today, and there seems TO
be a Lack Of simplicity. He inquired
if the change has increased our happl-
ness; II 1t has Increased our capacity
to love and cd the things we Should
do. Sometimes we think it has
Other times we learn it has not. There
Is more concern as to what you shall
wear than ever before, because you
have more TO wear" The speaker
the tendency TO abuse the
comforts and advantages we have
over the times past, but added there
is no reason why we should go back
10 the old way. Because we are
abusing these things is no reason why
we should give them up, but we should
learn more how to use them. The
trouble is we are not putting the first
things first but the secondary things
we are making the primary things"
DR.. Candee urged the graduates to
be sincere. In conclusion, he said
there seemed to be a lack OF reverence
for the law for parents and for the
Sabbath, and bespoke the young stu
dents TO not make that mistake.
The commencement exercises will
be held in the Opera House tomorrow
night, when the address TO the grad
yates will be made by Professor W. A.
Wilkinson, Of Delaware College. The
class numbers 22 being the largest
ever graduated in one year from the
local school.
Two Of the Delaware College frater-
nieies, the Sigma Phi Epsilon and
Sugma M, gave informal house par
ties at their frat" houses Saturday
evening. Both had originally planned
for lawn parties but the rain made it
necessary to entertain their friends
inside.
AT Sigma Phi Epsilon some OF the
guests played cards and chess and
about twenty-five couples enjoyed
dancing. A thnee-piece orchestra
furnished music. Among the guests
and patronesses were Dean and Mrs.
y, Laurence Smith, Or. and Mrs.
h. Bowen, Mr.. and Mrs. George Car
ter, Mr. and Mrs. George l.. Town
send. Jr., DR.. w. owen Sypherd and
Mrs. Wilson Of the Woman's Col
lege.
There was also dancing at the in
formal party given at the Sigma
M. A three-piece orchestra fur
nlsned music and about twenty cOu-
pies enjoyed the dancing. The pa
tronesses were Mrs. Ernest Wright
and Mrs. Clarence A. Short.
What is expected to be one Of the
best plays to be given by local talent,
will be the presentation tonight Of
the opera "Mikado." in the Opera
House under the auspices of the New
Century Club. Mrs. Herman r. Ty-
son is stage director, and Miss Duffy,
musical director. Principal members
Of the cast are Alexander Blair, Fred

Late in the afternoon, arrayed in

the Christmas tree was lighted. At
