Ta GET MORE PAY
Offices of American Feder
ation of Labor.
GOVERNMENT PENSIONS ARE UP
After "Warm Debate That Move "Was
Defeated ly a Close Vote Situa
tion of Various Affiliated
Unions.
EW ORLEANS, lov. 18. The salary of
thepresldent of the American Federation
of Labor was today Increased from $2100
per annum to $3000, and the salary, of the
secretary from ?1S00 to $2500. The Increases
were voted after a long debate, In which
fully 30 delegates participated. The orig
inal resolution, presented by Delegate Ber
ger, of Milwaukee, provided that they
should be $4000 and $2400, respectively. The
committee to which the matter was re
ferred reported in favor of Increasing the
salary of the president to $2400 and that of
the secretary to $2100, but the report of the
committee was voted down and the sal
aries were increased to the amounts
stated.
A feature of the debate was the attempt
of the Socialists In the convention to fix
the president's salary at $4000, though they
subsequently, on motion of Max Hayes, of
Cleveland, presented the resolution which
fixed the salary at $3000. Delegate Berger,
speaking in behalf of the Socialistic ele
ment, which is opposed to the policy of the
present administration, although it has no
particular objection to either President
Gompers or Secretary Morrison as indi
viduals, urged the resolution for a $4000
salary, saying:
"This Is not a personal measure. I say
frankly that if the Socialists had the power
in this convention they would turn out
Gompers, Morrison and the entire execu
tive board and elect Socialists, in order
to carry out a Socialistic policy In the
American Federation of Labor. But the
Socialists are fair, and they believe that
labor organizations should not exploit
their officers and employes. On the con
trary, labor organizations ought to pay the
best of wages. Our treasury permits It,
and our organization, comprising nearly
1,500.000 workers, ought to pay a fair sal
ary." The special committee having before It
the dispute between President Gompers
and President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated
Association, finally organized this after
noon by selecting Lee A. Tanquary, of the
Telegraphers, as the fifth member. It
spent the. entire afternoon In taking testi
mony, but does not expect to be able to
present a report before Thursday morn
ing. It is considered almost a foregone
conclusion that the report will be In favor
of President Gompers.
Many Resolutions.
The committee on resolutions today-, re
ported favorably on a resolution introduced
by the Coopers' Union asking that the con
vention protest against a bill now pending
in the United States Senate requiring the
Government to cease Issuing revenue
stamps on all packages of malt or brewed
liquors of the denomination of one-eighth.
The report was adopted.
A resolution pledging the federation to
use every effort to defeat legislation
against railroad ticket brokers and antl
ecalping bills was favorably reported and
adopted.
A resolution pledging the aid of the fed
eration in securing increased pay for let-
"ter-carriers was also recommended for
passage.
A resolution requiring the federation to
seek the good offices of the National Ad
ministration In securing relief ana pro
tection for labor organizers in the Island
of Porto Rico was carried unanimously.
A resolution declaring that the prefer
ence should be given to union musicians
at the St. Louis Exposition was also
adopted.
Pensions for "Vnj?e-Earners.
The resolutions Introduced by "Victor L.
Berger, of Milwaukee, instructing the
Federation of Labor to use Its best ef
forts to induce the National Congress to
pass a bill securing to every wageworker
-who shall have reached the atrc of CO
years without having had an average an
nual Income of $1000, a pension of $12 per
month, provided the wageworker Is a
citizen of the United States and has re
sided In this country for 21 years when
the application for pension is made, was
unfavorably reported.
Mr. Berger made an urgent appeal for
the passage of the resolution. Delegate
Sherman, of the United Metalworkers,
also asked the passage of the resolution,
saying that the wageworkers of the coun
try had as much right to a pension when
they were worn out In the harness as any
man who was directly employed in Its
service.
"When we ask the Government for any
thing." he said, "we must remember that
we are asking ourselves, for we are the
Government."
Great applause greeted Mr.. Sherman's
address at frequent Intervals.
James Lennon opposed the resolution
"because of the Increased taxation it would
Taring, and declared that the worklngmer.
wanted no charity. " If they must have
old-age pensions. It should come from the
trades unions, not from the Government.
Delegate Jones, of the Hatters' Union,
favored the passage of the resolution, as
did several others.
Delegate Brewer denounced the report
of the committee as infamous. This
Drought Secretary Agard, of the commit
tee on resolutions, to his feet In defense
of the committee. The debate was tem
porarily closed by the presentation of the
fraternal delegates from England,, bcot-
land and Canada. F. Edwards, the Eng
llsh delegate, made a happy address of
thanks for himself and the other fra
ternal delegates after he had been in
troduced by President Gompers.
In his reply to the address of Mr. Ed
wards and other fraternal delegates. Pros.
ideht Gompers declared that he had re
ceived copies of newspapers from all
parts of the country, some commenting
favorably, others adversely, upon tne criti
clsms made in his annual address on
President Eliot, of Harvard College, for
calling a strike-breaker a hero. He up
held the position he had taken, declaring
that President Eliot belonged to the
school which believed that matters would
come right If left alone. The strike
breaker, he declared, was an economic
outcast, as much a traitor to the cause
of labor as any man who betrayed his
country in time of war. At the conclusion
of President Gompers address debate was
Tesumed on the Berger old-age pension
resolution.
After several more speeches a vote way
taken and the report against the resolu
tion was adopted by a vote of 3 to 90.
Carpenter." and Joiners.
The executive council which has under
consideration the application of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners for
the revocation of the charter of the Amal
gamated Association of Woodworkers, re
ported adversely to the- application for
the reason that the proof of the charsrps
against the woodworkers had not been
made. An application for the revoca
tion of the Piano and Organ Workers'
Union was also denied, but .conditions
were imposed, failure to comply with
Which would cause revocation of the
charter.
Tho application of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners for the
revocation of the charter of the Amalga
mated Association of Carpenters was also
reported adversely.
The committee on the president's annual
address presented Its annual report, de-.
claring that It was opposed to his sugges
tion of the formation of a National labor
union.
The convention concurred with the com
mittee. In discussing that part of the
report concerning the refusal of the car
penters to grant a charter to the car
penters of Porto Rico, In which language
thought by many to be too severe was
used, a long debate ensued on a motion
to strike out the objectionable expression
suggesting that the carpenters "come
down to mother earth," which was finally
eliminated from the "report. The rules
of the convention, were then suspended,
and, acting for the convention. Delegate
James O'Connell presented to the frater
nal delegates, Edwards and Arrandale, or
Great Britain, gold -watches, and to Dele
gate Kennedy, of Canada, a diamond ring
as testimonials of esteem from the con
vention.
The committee on the report of the
secretary reported that his recommenda
tion thai bodies must have charters ior
one year before they are entitled to strike
benefits be amended to six months.
The committee on organization made a
favorable report on the following reso
lutions, and the convention concurred:
To organize Into unions as far as pos
sible the 3000 employes of the Bureau of
Printing and Engravers in Washington,
D. C; to bring about a reconciliation be
tween the Teamdrlvers International As
sociation and the National Teamsters
Union. Each organization agrees to ac
cept the finding of a committee of nine.
three members of which are to De se
lected by each organization from, Its own
membership, each three to select one
member from among the delegates to the
present convention and President Gompers
to present one member as a delegate to
the convention. Each commission is to
meet within 60 "days.
The executive council reported unfavor
ably upon the report of the Brotherhood
of Carpentrs and Joiners asking ror xne
revocation of the charter of the Amalga
mated Association of Carpenters, on the
ground the charges were not sustained.
The convention concurred In the recom
mendation. At C:30 o'clock the convention
adjourned uinll tomorrow morning.
There is as vet no avowed candidate tor
the presidency against Mr. Gomryers, but
there is quite an element among the dele
gates who are opposed to him, and they
are casting about for a candidate. At
present their choice for the position Is
Vice-President James Duncan, who has
not, however, said that he will run. The
antl-Gompers faction will make a strong
effort to Induce htm to make the race. It
Is admitted, however, even by those who
are opposed to Mr. Gompers, that there is
mall chance for beating him.
COULD XOT STOP THE BOYCOTT.
After Rancorous Debate Constitu
tional Objection Developed.
SCHENECTADY. N. Y.. Nov. IS The
boycott against the Schenectady Railway
will continue. The Trades Assembly
held a long and stormy meeting tonight
at which a resolution was adopted to re
consider the resolution ordering the boy
cott, but a forgotten clause In the con
stitution to the effect that any action
taken at a regular meelng could not be
considered at a special meeting was pro
duced and so no action whatever was
taken
The meeting- was almost riotous. The
representatives of the Metal Polishers'
Union threatened that If the boycott was
declared off, the entire metal polishers
body would withdraw from their trades
assembly. The delegates from the Moul
ders' Union, one of the most Influential
bodies affiliated with the assembly, an
swered that they would withdraw If the
boycott was continued. The representa
tives of the Machinists' Union made a
similar declaration. It was evident that
a large majority favored calling the boy
cott off, but any attempt at argument
was met with. hisses of disapproval from
the radical element. Epithets greeted
every conservative Bpeech. Finally it
was proposed to take a vote and then
the leaders of the boycott produced the
clause In the constitution which prevented
action. The next regular meeting will
be held Wednesday, November 26.

CHAFFEE AND WH EATON
WARM GREETING OF WAR HEROES
AT CHICAGO BAXQ.UET.
First Meeting Since Partins in
Jungles of Lnzon Taey Fall
on Each ptheri Xeck.
CHICAGO. Nov. IS. "As a soldier who
has served many years I know how hon
ors such as those that have been be
stowed upon me come. They come to Indi
viduals as they have come to me through
the loyal devotion and service of other
officers and soldiers, that great mass of
men who compose the Army of the United
States. They have helped me to my
honor, and they have helped my loyal
friend, "Wheaton, to his honor, and no
man is more free to acknowledge it than
that prince of soldiers."
With this panegyric on the American
soldier Major-General Chaffee fitted a cii-
max to a touching demonstration of the
comradeship of barrack and camp life
at tonight's banquet at the Union
League Club. The hero of El Caneyand
General Lloyd Wheaton, conqueror of the
Moros, had met for the first time since
they parted in the Jungles of Luzon, and,
unabashed by the presence of the 450
guests, they had shown the warmth of
a soldier's greeting.
General Wheaton had been invited to sit
with the guest of honor at the speaker's
table, but modesty made him late. Gen
eral Chaffee saw him first as he threaded
his way among the tables. He arose,
and, reaching across the table, beckoned
him to approach." General Wheaton made
his way around the board, and General
Chaft.ee feu upon his neck without further
ceremony. He threw his arm over the
other's shoulder and hugged him, while
General Wheaton blushed modestly
through his beard and dropped his head
to hide the tears that coursed down his
cheeks.
What they said was drowned by the
cheers and salvos of the guests, and then
General Wheaton sat down within sight
of his former commanding officer. In s
speech General Chaffee referred often to
the loyalty of his former subordinate,
giving him his share In the honors, and
each time General Wheaton hid his
bronzed face behind his hands and wiped
away furtive tears.
FOR PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
Senators Lodge and Burrows Talk
With Secretary Root.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. Senator Lodge.
chairman of the Senate committee of the
Philippines, and Senator Burrows, a mem
ber of the same committee, called on Sec
retary Root today and briefly discussed
probable Philippine legislation at the com
ing session. Senator Lodge says that If
the opposition Is willing to allow legisla
tion relative to the Philippines to be en
acted without long debate, something will
done in the way of remedying the currency
situation, and probably in the direction of
reducing the duty on Philippine goods
coming Into the United States. The Sena
tors say it will be impossible with the
large amount of business pending to have
an extensive debate like that of the last
Congress. Both Senators also called upon
Secretary of State Hay and discussed the
Colombian treaty for the canal and the
reciprocity treaty with Cuba,

certiorari to the Supreme Court of the

Knepner Is a citizen of Minnesota, v en
gaged in the practice of law in. Manila,
He was arrested In 1901 on the charge of
swindling, but was acquitted by the court
of first Instance. Tho case was then ap
pealed to the Insular Supreme Court by
the prosecuting attorney. Knepner mo ed
to dismiss the appeal on the ground that
under the laws in force In tne Philippines
the United States Is not entitled to ap
peal In a criminal case from a finding of
not guilty and a judgment of acquittal.
The motion was overruled, and Knepner
at onco began the present proceedings,
contending that he was about to be put
In jeopardy for the second time, contrary
to the Constitution of the United States.

act of Congress of July 1 last as the
basis for his request that the court take
jurisdiction.

CAUGHT BY DETECTIVES.
Three Men Captured, Charged With
Burglaries.
Four mheries In this city and one in
Hillsdale were cleaned up by the police
yesterday. In arresting two youths each
about 20 years old, Edward Jackson and
Robert Wolff, and Fred A. Mullln, aged
30.. Jackson and Wolf were arrested
charged with breaking Into and stealing
coats, etc., from J. H. Sack's tailor store,
from the National Hotel, Front street,
near Morrison, and also a tailor's shop
on First street, near Jefferson. Mullln
was wanted for a pipe-dream In lorcmg
his way over the transom of E. E. Whit
ing's offlcet Sherlock building, and steal
ing smoking pipes valued at $230.
Detectives Snow and Kerrigan were sent
out to Tun down Jackeon and Wolff, The
methods the latter used in forcing their
way after plunder were the same in each
Instance, the use of false keys, at night.
By dint of hard work, the two detectives
found a dealer In second-hand goods who
told them of two young men who had
tried to sell him coats and pants ut ri-
dlcuously low prices, and he declined,
fearing trouble. A good description was
obtained of the two -strangers, and tney
were caught yesterday afternoon at First
and Hall streets. They were taken to
the Police Station, and after being sharp
ly examined, they admitted they had
robbed' several places, and not only told
where they had sold some of the goods,
but offered to show the room they had
used as a storehouse to hide their plunder,
on First street, near Hall. The stolen
articles are valued at $75, and a large
quantity of them was recovered last
night. Jackson stated that he had visited
Portland as an attache of Buffalo Bill's
Wild West show, and had liked the city
so" much that he had remained here since.
Friday morning of last week, Whiting's
office was entered by some one climbing
through his transom, and a quantity of
valuable meerschaums was stolen. It
Beemed at first that the thief would be
difficult to catch, as he had an excellent
opportunity to dispose of his plunder to
private individuals, Instead or offering it
for sale at the usual second-hand-goods
stores. Detectives Cordano, Ford, Day
and Welner were plaqed on the case, and
they searched in vain for a clew up to
Monday night. Then Instructions were
given to warn all proprietors of cigar
stores and saloons to notify the police
by telephone, If anyone came to their
places of business offering meerchaums,
etc., for sale. Yesterday a "tip" came
that a young man had called at a saloon
In he neighborhood of Sixth and Wash
ington streets. The salesman was Mullln,
and the saloonkeeper said: "Young fel
low, this pipe Is too dear for me. But
I've a friend who wants a pipe something
like this, andvlf you call back some time
this afternoon, I'll see what I can do for
you."
"I'll bo back Just as soon ne I finish
lunch," remarked Mullln, Ittle dreaming
that the next lunch he would eat would be
at the City Jail. Detectives Cordano an
Day were notified by 'phone and they
went into the saloon, leaving tho other
officers to watch the spot from the other
side of the street. Sure enough, In walked
Mullln, a sign was passed that he was the
man who had offered to sell the
meerschaum, and he was arrested.
"You aie making i mistake." he said,
with a grand air. "I am working for a
detective agency. I am not a thief. This
Is a pipe dream."
"You have also acted as a 'spotter for
a street railroad company," one of the de
tectives reminded him, but Mullln held
his peace. At the Police Station, how
ever, he became more talkative and not
only admitted that he had robbed Whit
ing's office, but told the police where he
had sold a quantity of the stolen goods.
At a late hour last night the detectives
had recovered about four-fifths of tho
stolen pipes.
It is also charged that Mullln is the
man who recently broke into Dr. Plum
mer'a house, at Hillsdale, and stole a
quantity of goods, among them being two
sets of harness and a saddle. '

ter of revolutionary General Uribe-Uribe,

that Herrtra might obtain better terms
from the government General, Pcrdomo,
who has authority to make the arrange
ment. He believes that the Interior of

that therefore no effort made by the
combined Liberal forces In the Depart

tions in the Island.
HAVANA, Nov. 18. Lionel Garden, the
British Minister, in a report on the situa
tion in Cuba, says none of the evils so
confidently predicted by the advocates of
reciprocity has come to pass. No sugar
estate of any importance was compelled to
stop, and the recent crisis, far from being
disastrous to the island's prosperity, has
really been of immense service to Cuba In
teaching the planters to be, economical In
the management of the nlantations. thus
lowering the cost of production until it .
Is thought that plantation expenses will
not exceed 1 cent per pound. Under the
present condition, the Minister adds. Cuba
has little or nothing to fear from the com
petition of other countries In the produc

Explosion In jCrater Hot Lava For-

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 18. According
to Dr. D. A. Turner, cf Milford. Utah,
an old volcrno forming part of the Wa
satch Range, in Southern Utah, between
Beaver and Piute Counties, which appar
ently has been extinct for centuries, haa
broken out afresh. Explosions apparently
emanating from the crater have been
heard for miles around, while at times
columns of smoke and dust have arised
from the old volcano, and new lava for
mations, still very hot, have been found
on the sides" of the mountain.
"There have been a number of slight
earthquakes in that vicinity recently,"
said Dr. Turner, "and we have heard ex
plosions for a distance of 20 miles from
the crater. Not long ago I ascended orfe
of these old volcanoes and found a small
quantity of lava that apparently had re
cently overflowed from the crater, for It
was still very hot. Sever.il times of late
smoke and dust In considerable quantities
have been seen arising from the crater.

WINE OF CARDUI.
11-15 Drayton Street,
Savannah, Ga., May 19, 1902.
"Wine of Cardui has certainly
been of creat benefit to me. A few
months ago I was badly run clown, weak and nervous and unable to sleep.
I had been irregular for months and my general health was poor. By the
advice of a friend I began taking Wine of Cardui while I must admit I
had little faith in it. But I soon became convinced that T wa3 not taking
an ordinary medicine, but something of extraordinary value. At least it
seemed admirably suited to my case. My appetite soon returned and I
found restful sleep. My general health began to improve and I became
regular, suffering no pain3 but enjoying perfect health.
Experience and knowledge is most valuable and while sometimes se
cured at great expense and sacrifice it is not easily forgotten. It is this
Fereonal experience with your remedy which makes it so valuable to me.
might listen to its praise from hundreds who have been cured and read
testimonials by the score but it would not convince me like the use of one
singie bottle did when 1 took it according to directions.
In the same manner do I icel that if weak, nervous, hysterical women
suffering with the ills that many of us suffer with would "give.your home
remedy a trial they would avoid much suffering and pain and' many ope
rations. I feel very grateful for what your medicine has done for me and
can only say to those who are sick, I took Wine of Cardui and was cured.
Go thou and do likewise.-

FEMALE TROUBLES are responsible-for
the thousands of
weak and nervous girls ,there
are in the world. The trouble is
they do not come into womanhood
in the natural and healthy
way. It is important that the
regular functions be properh es
tablished at the coming cf woman
hood. If they are not, irregular
mepscs soon make invalids of girls.
This is a fact worthy of every moth
er's serious consideration. Mothers
do not give their daughters' health
the attention they should. But there
is not a mother living who could
not give, her suffering daughter the
same health Mis3 Olmstead enjoys.

LONDON, Nov. 17. The Governor of tho

Colonial Secretary Chamberlain in which
he sajv; the prospect? of the' inhabitants
of the Island of St. Vincent are blacker

that GecTgetown will have to be aban-

I'that the southeastern end cf the Island,
to which the inhabitants of the district
around La Souffrierc have fled In. the hope
of safety. Is badly off for water, and "if
more people are crowded there they will
