THE MO&NING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1902. 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.

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.

"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.

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.

"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.

"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.- S3 3 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. PLENTY OF "GO" Here's an overcoat vhich you must not fail to look at.
