LABOR FEDERATION
PLEDGES LOYALTY
Vote to Support National
Administration Shows
No Dissenters.
PACIFIST ELEMENT SILENT
Resolution to Stand Back of Gov
crnment Is Sweeping in Scope.
Gompcrs Call for Confer
ence Is Approved.
BUFFALO, X. Y., Nov. 20. Without a
dissenting vote the American Federa
tion of Labor reaffirmed its unswerv
ing loyalty to the country and a deter
mination to stand behind the National
Administration until peace comes. The
pacifist element, which yesterday mus
tered a small minority against Presi
dent Gompers' attitude in. support of
the war, was silent.
The resolution containing the declar
ation was reported favorably by the
resolutions committee. It was sweep
ing: in scope. The course pursued by
President Gompers in calling a confer
ence of the National and international
officers of the federation at Washing
ton on March 12 was approved and all
his subsequent actions and those of the
executive council with reference to the
war were concurred in.
The pacifists declared that they were
unaware that the resolution was to
come up today. They made no move
for a reconsideration, however, and It
"was pointed out that while their fight
yesterday was based on a vote of con
fidence in President Gompers, today's
resolution called for a declaration on a
clear-cut question of loyalty to the
country.
Giffonl IMnehot Spcnkn.
This resolution with others from the
committee on resolutions occupied vir
tually the entire day. Vice-President
James Duncan made a report at the
afternoon session on his trip to Rus
sia as a member of the commission
appointed by President Wilson, and
Gifford Pinchot, speaking for the Fed
erated Board of Farm Organizations,
asked for closer relations between the
farmers' organizations and the Ameri
can Federation of Labor.
The committee on resolutions, con
tinuing its report, commended the
work of the Federation's executive
council on old age pensions for Gov
ernment employes and civil rights. It
deplored that part of the espionage law
which "threatened unduly the restric
tion of a free press."
Taking up the report of the execu
tive cour-eil on the high cost of print
paper, the resolutions committee rec
ommended that the executive council
continue to work for measures that
would bring about a reduction in prices
and "curb the greed of the paper
ti ust."
Wage Advances Expected.
John Burk, of the sulphite and paper
workers, gave notice that when the
piesent wage agreement with the paper
manufacturers expired next Spring an
advance 'in wages wouJd be asked.
"If prices of paper are fixed by the
Government," Mr. Burk said, "it must
not be at the expense of labor."
On motion of Max S. Hayes, of the
Typographical Union, the report of the
committee was amended to place the
federation on record in favor of a Government-owned
paper manufacturing
plant.
The only resolution that caused ex
tended debate related to the organiza
tion of negro labor. It was submitted
by Delegate Murphy, of San Francisco,
and embodied in its preamble a resolu
tion adopted by the International Negro
League and presented to the San Fran
cisco Labor Council for Indorsement.
The Negro League's resolution spe
cifically referred ' to the "Southern
6tates" as the scenes of wrongs In
flicted upon the race.
Race Riots Recalled.
The resolutions committee reporting
to the convention assumed no re
sponsibility for the statements In the
preamble of the Murphy resolution and
recommended reference to the execu
tive council of only that part of It re
ferring to organization of the negroes.
O. D. Gorman, of Georgia, protested
against the reference to the Southern
etates remaining in the record and
moved as an amendment to strike out
the entire section.
"The slaughter at Kast St. Louis
came as a result of thefts by starving
negroes enticed away from their South
ern homes," Gorman said. "I defy any
delegate to point to a single instance
of a negro being killed for robbery in
the South. I resent this reference to
the Southern states. The treatment of
the negro in the South is better than it
has been in the North.".
Finally the report was amended by
the resolutions committee to read:
"Your committee cannot be responsi
ble for and rejects the statements con
tained in the preamble of the resolu
tion," and as so amended the report
was adopted.
In his address on Russia, Vice-President
Duncan expressed confidence In
the ultimate formation of a stable and
lasting republican government there.
"Give them an opportunity to develop
their new democracy and there will be
born in it a national spirit that will be
worth fighting for," he said.
WOLFRAMITE ARE SOUGHT
ev Trade and Industrial Uevclop
nicnt in Cliiiia of Interest.
CANTON, Nov. 10. A new trade and
Industrial development of interest In
the Canton district has resulted from
the growing demand for wolframite
ore and the recent discovery that this
mineral is to be found in marketable
quantitie in Kwangtung Province.
The demand corned chiefly from Amer
ica, and as soon as the ore was known
to exist here American merchants im
mediately set about its exploitation,
says American Consul-General P. S.
Heintzleman.
Little reliable information on the
occurrence r.nd production of wolfram
In this district is obtainaUe. This is
not surprising, the discovery of the
ore was made only recently, and the
mining bureau has had few applicants
for mining rights covering this ma
terial. Just following the discovery
of wolfram ore. in a majority of cases
the natives, and even the official dep
uties mistook it for manganese or iron
ore, until the high prices offered raised
a suspicion that it must contain some
thing different from the commoner
metals. The Japanese first learned of
the value of the "iron ore" in Hunan
Province and offered about 27 cents
Mexican, or 17 cents gold, a pound for
it. Other buyers learned of the bar
gain and offered better prices. Now
the average ore commands about $50
Mexican, or $32 gpld, per 100 pounds at
Canton.
Much of the ore comes from Cheng
chow, Hunan Province, adjacent to the
border of Kwangtung Province. It is
transported on human shoulders from
the mine southward to Ping Shek,
Kwangtung, a distance of about 60
miles. From here it 1 carried In small
junks down the North River to Shiu
chow. an additional distance of 80
miles, whence it is brought to Canton
over the Yueh-Han Railway. All the
mining is done by hand. Production
and transportation costs are not made
public. Many anxious buyers, not
waiting for the ore to reach Canton,
have established headquarters at Lok
Chong, a small town on the west bank
of the North River, 40 mileB above
Shiuchow, where they are able to in
tercept the cargoes and get, firet choice
from the middleman who has bought
up the ore. The middleman daily col
lects the goods direct from the miners
in varying small amounts.
Several places in Kwangtung are
said to produce wolfram ore. but since
investigation by the provincial govern
ment is so limited and the differentia
tion of minerals by the natives is so
unreliable, the importance of these
places must be confirmed by experts.
Several, however, are positively known
to produce the valuable ore. The Fu
Min Co. has a claim at Walchow, on
the East River. The corporation per
mits ine natives to mine In the con
cession, but insists on the exclusive
right to buy the product. . The cur
rent prices paid for the ore to the min
ers is about 20 gold per hundred
weight, and the company obtains about
$32 gold at Canton. The number of
miners engaged in this enterprise va
ries between 1000 and 2000.
The method of mining is principally
hand placering. The miners dive for
the san3 and wash it for the heavy ore.
The ore runs from mere dust to the
size of walnuts or larger.

COAST GETS CONTRACT
(Continued From First Page.)
War Department, the commander of
the medical officers' training camp at
Fort Harrison. Ind., is directed to as
sign 25 officers of the Medical Reserve
Corps to the aviation section. Signal
Corps, and direct them to proceed to
Portland to report to Colonel Brice P.
Disque for assignment, to squadrons
now being organized.
Behind this order, which tells very
little, is the story of the decision of
the War Department to organize a
regiment of 7000 experienced loggers
and lumbermen and to utilize that reg
iment, when trained, in getting out air
craft spruce from the forests of Ore
gon and Washington. Spruce produc
tion has been greatly retarded by the
activities of the I. W. W. and Is still
being hampered. The West Coast mills
are unable to turn out spruce lumber
as fast as required by airplaine fac
tories, in the United States and in the
allied countries of Europe.
The determination to organize a reg
iment of loggers and lumbermen was
reported only after other expedients
had failed. In this way spruce produc
tion will become a military function
to a large extent, and once this reg
iment gets into action a decided im
provement in the spruce situation is
looked for.

Roosevelt Urges New York
Women to Perform
Full Duty.
PRO-GERMANS CONDEMNED
War Held Prime Duty at This Time,
and New Voters Are Asked to In
sist That It Be Fought to
Victorious Conclusion.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20. Responsibili
ties the women of New York State
have inherited through their enfran
chisement were outlined by Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt at a macs meeting
in the Metropolitan Opera-House in
celebration of the recent woman suf
frage victory. Governor Whitman and
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw were other
speakers.
Colonel Roosevelt roused the enthu
siasm of the women when he expressed
the hope that the Federal woman suf
frage amendment would soon be adopt
ed. Then he said he would speak to
them about their newly acquired
"heavy responsibilities." ,,
"Hitherto my appeal has been that
you should be given a right," he said,
"to which in my Judgment you were
entitled-. Now you have been given
this right. Now my appeal is not for
you, but to you. Now I must earnestly
and solemnly ask that you will well
and faithfully perform hhe duty which
the giving of the right entails.
Rijgbts Involve Obligation.
"What we citizens of the democracy
who enjoy full political rights need to
remember is that we have no moral
right to their enjoyment, and that in
the long run we will not be permitted
to enjoy them, unless we perform the
duties necessarily implied in their pos
session. In this world neather man
nor woman has any rigth to the enjoy
ment of a privilege unless he or she
accepts and fulfills the obligations ac
companying it."
"A democracy that represents merely
the enjoyment of privilege is bound in
the end to go down. It is only a
democracy based on service which can
permanently endure. The enjoyment of
the right and the performance of the
duty must go hand in hand."
Pro-Grrmaiii Condemned.
Women commit "moral treason"
against the United States who do not
insist that the war be fought to a
victorious conclusion. Colonel Roose
velt declared. He condemned the "Ger
manized socialists in this country, men
and women alike, the professional paci
fists and the professional pro-Germans
and all others who aid and abet them,"
as traitors to America and to mankind.
Although the war, he said, is the
"prime duty of the moment," there were
other problems wheih he believed he
extension of suffrage would clarify.
"It is my belief." he said, "that cer
tain duties in the way of securing
Justice, about which many men are
lukewarm will enlist the support of
all women."
GERMANS STEAL STUFF
AMERICAN METHODS OF ADVERTIS
ING USED TO CiET 'LOAN.
Central Bureau Prepares "Copy," Which
Ih Placed in Big Dlnplay Advertise
ments and Sent to Newspapers.
BERNE, Nov. 1. (Correspondence of
the Associated Press.) Germany recog
nized fully in its seventh war loan the
value of advertising. It availed itself
to the full of methods that might be
called American in their spectaeulur
qualities and that probably contributed
materially to such success as the last
loan Just closed achieved.
Yet these advertisements, spectacu
lar and clever as they were, and "Amer
ican" as they seemed to be, revealed,
perhaps unconsciously, the weakness of
the loan. For, despite their spectacu
lar effectiveness, they told a story that
it i's doubtful whether Germany wanted
told. '
The display advertisements that ap
peared daily In every important German
journal from the middle of September
until October 14 contained two out
standing features. Almost invariably
they contained more or less passionate
and only thinly-veiled assurances that
investment in the loan was safe which
surely would not have been inserted
had not there been serious doubt in the
minds of the German people who were
asked to subscribe. And, again and
again, the public was implored
to suscribe without thinking, with
oift consideration. and was more
or less deliberately asked to abandon
its customary caution in choosing its
investments and subscribe merely as a
patriotic duty, regardless of what the
value of the investment might be.
The advertising for the seventh loan,
like the fifth and sixth, was operated
from a central bureau that prepared
the "copy" striking two and three
column display advertisements and
sent it to every important paper. Pro
vincial papers, in addition, were en
couraged to vary the programme with
advertisements of their own that pre
sented a particular appeal to their own
readers. Papers in cities bombed by
the French interlarded the stock adver
tisements with appeals to their readers
to subscribe to the seventh war loan
as an answer to the acts of the entente
in bombarding unfortified cities.
The Stuttgart papers furnish a good
example of the way in which the pro
vincial German press has taken advan
tage of local happenings to vary the
routine advertising sent out from head
quarters in Berlin. Immediately fol
lowing the latest Frencn raid' they came
out with the following blank forms for
subscribers to sign:
"In consequence of the aerial attacks
on my home city of Stuttgart I have de
cided to double the amoun. I originally
subscribed to the seventh war loan."
INDIANS BUY SILK HOSE
Alaskan Fishermen Experience l"n
hcard of Prosperity.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 14. War
time prices and a record run of fish
has brought to the Alaskan Indian a
prosperity such as he has never known
before. Today in Juneau, Ketchikan,
Seward and other Alaska cities he is
purchasing everything in sight. No
longer is his wife content to wear cot
ton hose of the cheapest grade. Noth
ing but the finest silk stockings suit
her. When the family travel by water
they go in their own fast motorboat,
and when shopping in town they hire
taxicabs by the hour.
An interesting account of this pros
perity is given by C. E. Flye, a steam-
ship agent, who has Just returned after
an extensive trip through Southeastern
and Southwestern Alaska.
"A merchant at Juneau." said Klye,
"advised me that Indian families that
usually come to his store with 1500 or
J600 in the Fall have been coming in
with $2000 or $3000. They do not know
what tq do with the money and are
purchasing everything that catches
their eye. I saw an Indian woman at
Juneau pay 60 for a coat with fur
collar and trimmings."
Flye states that this prosperity also
has been enjoyed by the packers them
selves. Every -cannery increased Its
output during the season just ended.
He says that a new Industry has de
veloped in Southwestern Alaska, espe
cially in Lower Cook's Inlet and in and
around Kodiak Island, and that is the
packing of herring. A representative
of the United States fisheries bureau
has been In that vicinity for some time
educating the people Interested in the
different methods of packing.
Another reason given for Alaska's
new prosperity is the demand for in
dustrial metals. Copper mines that
have been Idle for many years are now
doing their best. .
EX-AMERICAN LEADS LORDS
Former Employe of United States
Banking Firm Sent to Parliament.
LONDON, Nov. 12. The Scottish
peers have chosen an American-born
business man to represent them in the
House of Lords.
Lord Fairfax of Cameron, who was
born in the United States, worked for
an American banking firm until the
death of his father 17 years ago and
now is a member of the firm of Bon
bright & Co.. of London and New York.
He is a naturalized British subject and
established his claim to the barony be
fore the committee of privileges of the
House of Lords in 1908.
Lord Fairfax' peerage dates from
1627. The second holder was the Gen
eral Fairfax who defeated the royal
army at Marsdon Moor and was sub
sequently Governor of the city of York.
The sixth peer inherited a vast tract of
land in Virginia, where he settled.
Since that time the family have been
almost entirely resident In the United
States. His lordship is the 12th holder
of the title.
A Scottish peerage does not entitle
the holder to a seat in the House of
Lords by virtue of his title. At the
beginning of every Parliament the
Scottish peers meet and elect 16 of their
number to represent them during Its
duration. Three of the representative
Scottish peers have died during the'
present Parliament and a bye-election
has just taken place to fill the vacan
cies. JAPAN'S SHIPYARDS GROW
Total of 4 8 Merchants Craft
2 08,000 Tons Launched.
of
TOKIO. Nov. 1. That Japanese ship
yards are doing an increasingly big
business is shown by the fact that,
during the first nine months of 1917,
48 merchant ships with a total of 208,
000 tons were launched at the six prin
cipal yards. These figures do not in
clude craft of less than 1000 tons.
The Japan Steamship Company (Nip
pon Yusen Kaisha) has placed con
tracts with the Yokohama Dock Com
pany for the construction of two ships
yearly for ten consecutive years. Each
vessel is to be 6000 tons, and the total
amount provided for all the construc
tion Is more than 84,000,000 yen. Thla
figure has been necessitated by the ex
panding trade of the" company and the
demand made upon its management by
the shareholders that its capital be
largely increased in order to operate
on lines now practically abandoned by
other maritime powers. Among the
projected routes arp those connecting
Australia with the Pacific Coast of
America, and Bombay with Liverpool
via South Africa.
On the other side of the account
stands 20 Japanese vessels destroyed
by German submarines. They aggre
gate 86,975 tons.

Mrs. Earnest renounced all claim of

The board revoked Earnest's dis
charge and ordered him to report for
military duty.

EIGHT JURORS OBTAINED
Men Accepted All of Mature Years,
With Children of Their Own;
Defendant's Interest in Trial
Is Reviving.
MINEOLA. L. I., Nov. 20. (Special.)
It was a little thing to Blanca de
Saulles that the four Jurors picked to
day to sit in judgment upon her were
as much of her lawyer's own choosing
as were the first four. The combina
tion of clever Jockeying and good luck
through which there had been put Into
the box eight men of whom not one
was under the age of 58, kindly souls
with children of their own and as ap
proximate an understanding of mother
love as their sex may ever realize,
seemed to have escaped her.
What did matter was an off-stage
victory In Justlo Manning's chambers.
News of it brought a touch of color to
her pallid cheeks, a faint, recurrent
smile to her taut lips. Little Jack was
no longer to be kept away from her.
Tomorrow, it had been agreed by rela
tives of big Jack de Saulles, the di
vorced husband whom she killed, the
boy will be brought to her.
Since the shooting of the father the
"youngster In the case" has had only a
few brief visits with his mother. His
comings and goings were uncertain, de
pendent on the whim of the uncles and
aunts on his father's side who have him
in their keeping.
Mother to See Son.
All that is changed now. Wednesday
morning's reunion between mother and
son is only the first of a eerles. At
least twice a week throughout the
trial the two will have a chance to be
together. Probably their days will be
Wednesdays and Saturdays, but that
has yet to be arranged.
A tentative understanding between
the opposing counsel was reached at
the opening of the afternoon session.
Immediately after court reconvened
after the luncheon hour, Henry Uter
hart. of the defense, aked for a pri
vate hearing in chambens "on a mat
ter not connected with this case."
Justice Manning had an inkling of
what was to come. He announced a
recess and retired from the courtroom,
followed by Mr. Uterhart, District 'At
torney Charles R. Weeks, and Deacon
Murphy, representing O'Gorman, Battle

Threat Made, Report Sara.
What occurred In chambers, of
course. Is not of record. It is known,
though, that a threat of habeas corpus
proceedings had been made by Mr.
Uterhart, perhaps the result of a coun
cil between Mrs. de Saulles, her mother,
Mrs. Blanca Vergara Errazuriz, her
brother, Guillermo, and her sister,
Amalia.
Behind the threat of a writ was a
broken promise. Mr. Uterhart said that
the relatives of little Jack's father had
agreed to let him be with his mother
at stated intervals during her imprison
ment, and had not kept their word.
"After the first few visits they kept
the boy away." he asserted. "We could
not find out exactly where he was. Two
weeks ago I wrote a strong letter and
Jack saw his mother again. We patched
up another agreement, which again was
broken."
