Albinos.

The term "albino" was originally
applied by the Portuguese to negroes
found on the coast of Africa, who were
mottled with white spots. Now an
albino is defined as a person having
congenital deficiency of pigments of
the skin, hair and eyes. Albinos occur
among all races of men; in extreme
cases they have skin of milky
color, extremely light hair, and eyes
with deep red pupil with pink or
blue iris.

MONTREAL, June 17.--Govern-
ment ownership and democratic op-
eration." of the railroads demanded in
a resolution by the American feder-
alton passed. The language OF the
resolution was the language of the
Plumb plan league. although the
league is not specifically mentioned.
The vote was 29.05s to S34s. 1t came
at the end of two-day battle, the bit
terest that has torn organized labor in
years. The result was a complete de-
feat for Gompers veteran president
of the organization. 1t is regarded as
the only real setback Gompers has re-
ceived in years. Cheers shook the con-,
vention hall when the vote was an
nounced. Miners and railroad work
ers combined to effect Gompers' de-
feat. Gompers fought hard to kill the
resolution. personally taking the floor
just before the vote. He received no
applause.
The Gompers faction. early in the
fight, raised the cry of Specialization
of American industry They made IL
clear they favored government control
but opposed government ownership.

Minority Report Adopted.
fRN- Irnffad Drau@N

MONTREAL. June l7.-Resolutiou
as passed is practically identical with
its language as originally introduced
by Delegate Franklin of the boiler
makers, President johnson of the ma
chinists and many others of the rail
road group. When the resolution was
reported by the resolution committee
it had been amended to read govern
ment control instead of government
ownership. Gompers controls the ma
jority of the committee. Franklin
submitted a minority report restoring
the government ownership clause. The
final vote was on the adoption of the
minority report. Most OF the dele
gates regard the resolution as a direct
endorsement of the Plumb plan.
