This is not u personal question If 1
the socialists controlled tho convention
they would turn out Gompcrs MorrUon
and tho entire cxecutlvo board and elect
socialists to carry out n socialistic policy
In the federation But the socialists are
fair and they believe that labor organisa
tions should not exploit tbclr officers and
employes On the coutrnry labor organi-
zations ought to pay tho best of wages
Our treasury permits it and our organiza-
tion comprising nearly 1000000 workers
ought to pay a fair salary

An adverse report was made on the
application of tho Hod Carriers nnd Build-
ing Laborers union of Chicago for tbe revo-
cation of the charter of the cement wojk
er of that city on tbe ground that they
properly belong within tbe ranks ot tho
hod canters and buildings laborers It
was pointed out that the hod carriers
who are not members of the Amercan
Federation of Labor were seeking the
aid of tho organization against the cement
workers who belong to It The committee
recommended that the federation uphold Its
own people In all disputes with outttdfl
bodies In alt matters pertaining to tho
administration of tho federation The con
vontlou approved the recommendation
The executive council reported unfavora-
bly on the request Of the Brotherhood ot
Carpenter and Joiners asking for tbo
revocation of tho chartcTrof tho Amalga-
mated Association of Carponters and tho
Amalgamated Asaoclaflto of Woodworkers
on the ground that tho charge wore not
sustained The convention concurred In
tbe recommendation
A large number ot resolutions portoln

There U si yet no nvewed eaudidato to

there Is quite nn element among tho dele-

nro casting about tor n candidate At
present their choice for the position Is
Vice President Jnmcs Duncan who has
not however said that ho will run Tho

is admitted however even by thoso who
aro opposed to Mr Gompcrs that there Is

FIGHT FOR STATEHOOD
DUfilNQ
IT WILL BE WAGED HARDLY
THE SHORT SESSION
Quny of Pennsylvania Will De tho Lead-
er for tho BUI In tho Senate Whero
It Is Pending
Special to Tho Tost
Washington November 18 It Is already
obvious thnt tho light for tho admission
of Oklahoma Now Mexico and Arizona Will
bo waged during tho forthcoming short ses-
sion with ovou greater zeal than has here-
tofore been In ovldencc Tho active work
will bo commenced hero next wock when
thcro will bo a meeting of leading advo-
cates ot Statehood for tho purposo of out-
lining plnus for tho future Dclegato Flynn
uf Oklahoma Is in Washington now and ho
will bo Joined within tho next few dnvs
by delegate ltodcy ot Now Mexico and by
a delegation from Arizona
Tho light for Statehood will be led in
tho senate by Quay of Pennsylvania who
h n member ot tho commlttco on Terri-
tories aud who was n persistent ndvocato
ot tho Statehood bill during tho last ses
nlon and especially during the last tow
dayo when llovcrlilgo nnd other opponents
of tbo incuauro did everything In their
power to prevent tho Pennsylvania uinu
from gcllug action lu tho premtacs Quay
Is mild to bo drslrlous of having a protcga
of his chosen ns governor ot ono ot tho
Territories when It Is uiado a Statu and
his zeal Is perhaps not altogether disin-
terested However it was duo to his ef-
forts that nn agreement was reached to
mako the Statahood bill tho unfinished busl
ness In tha senate on December 10 thu
bill having already punned the housn In thn
faco ot opposition ot Speaker Henderson
and other lendors
Tho fact that Arizona elected demo-
cratic dolegato and that Oklahoma went
republican at tho recent election by tho
narrow margins will no doubt havo tho
effect ot Intensifying tho opposition In tho
certain quarters to tho admission ot those
Territories However tbe ddta ntnu > to
bo thnt all thrco of the Territories will
stand or fall together and In well Informed
circles It Is believed thnt the scnato will
act favorably on tho omnibus bill Tbo ad-
vocates of Statehood ure encouraged by
tho report that tho president Is inclined
to favor tholr sldo of tbo case
Dclcgatci aro ready and Flynn will
doubtless work all tho harder for Statehood
because ot the well known fact that both
ot them havo cxcrllcnt chances of beltig
elected to tho souato from their rcspectlvo
States should the Territories lu which
they now llvo lio admitted Delegate
Smith of Arizona expected to work equally
as hard Ihougli he Is not known to havo
any sennturlnl aspirations

Special to Tho rot
Now Oi leans November IS tho tirsl
opinions of tho fall term ot the FcdCiat
coutt of appeals woro handed dowi toda
One of these related to the turnouts Hums
case from Texas on appeal by Hume from
u Judgment and sentence at hard labor for
having defrauded several cotton bujers ot
many thousands ofdollars lu n transaction
of bills of lading that called for cotton ot
high grade whon the cotton actually
shipped vros ot Inferior quality As llunm
and associate had used tho United StatS
malls to carry on n correspondence in
furtherance of their scheme thoy were 1
tl < tod Hled and two ot tbeiu vvcie ecu
teuced lo hard labor
In n review ot the rnso we court sig
thnt W J lluinu and associates pretended
tu bo lu a legttlmato busluvb ot buying
and selling cotton nnd shipping to foreign
eoiintilcw nt or from Mexla Ltinostouo
cuuty Texas and from New Orleans La
that they were to contract and cngago witn
ltrlnhnrd Strnuss and others to purchase
from them or sell ou commUslon for them
such cotton n might bo shipped by U jt
Guyncs nnd confederates anil Straus vvn
to pay drafts drawn on them fur amount
against cotton to bo shipped with bids or
lading attached that they would send
samples showing the grade of cotton
shipped Tho nccuccd Milpcd cotton of
quality inferior to Ibo samples and had
dinwn drafU fur cotlou nt n higher aud
hotter grade than thn alleged samples Th
drafts were paid by Straus and other
Tho Intention at tlio accused was to u > <
frnuit thorn firms of tho difference between
tho price and vnltio ot tho higher and Mi-
ter grade ot cotton nx Indicated by tu
bills of ladlnit nnd tho low grade of ctf
ton called HutcJs which was actually
shipped
llnroo and his associates obtained orei
50000 by this fraudulent scheme In con-
clusion tho court says There Is notnluj
In the bill ot exceptions to show that It
was jiot poved ns charged that W J Unuio
caused the lettcis to bo deposited in tha
postotflco pursuant to the scbcuio to tic
frnuflor that thoy woro not deposited by
Ouyues lu conjunction or association with
Heme purstiaut to tho fraudulent scheme
Tho objection is based solely on the uu
sound theory that lluiuoa personal pres-
ence at tho time the letters woro pitted
was necessary to make him guilty If ho
caused tbo letters to be deposited or It
they were posted pursuant to n sehemo to
which he was n party ho Is properly con-
victed although ho was not present when
ho letters were posted Tho record not
