' 7 TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN. PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 13, 1903. DENY FEDERATION HAS TAKEN 5I0ES Executive Council Resents As persions on Course of Gompers. ONLY GIVES INFORMATION Labor Leaders Do Not Dictate to Workmen How to Vote, But Only Tell Them How Parties Re ceive Tlicir Demands. WASHINGTON. Sept. 12. The execu tive council of the American Federation of Labor today unanimously adopted the report of the labor representation com mittee. "We ahall in the future." says the re port, "as ve have in the past, shape our course upon a non-partisan basis." The attitude of the council toward President Gompers' position in the cam paign is expressed in the report as fol lows: - "We desire to refute here the asper sions cast upon the executive council practically and one of its members. Presi dent Gompers. that it is our purpose or hUi to dictate to the working people of our country how they should cast tholr votes in the coming election, nor has anyone promised the vote of the work lngmen to any particular party. We have strongly, clearly and emphatically as It was our duty, presented the situa tion In which workingmon of the coun try find themselves, the, demands which labor has made upon both politicaJ par ties as to neeeseary action which they should take, the treatment they have "received, and have appealed to the judgment and patriotism of the work ing peeople and the friends of labor throughout the country, since both poli tical parties have spoken, to make their choice as their conscience may dictate. We have so conducted and propose so to conduct our course tha4 the labor move ment shall remain m free and independ ent from political partisan domination as it has ever been in its history. MUST CLEAR FROM TACOMA fchlps Taking Lumber at Knappton Belong in Puget Sound District. ASTORIA. Or.. Sopt. 12. (Special.) A. T. Collier. Deputy Collector of Customs at Tacoma. arrived here last evening for the purpose of entering the British steam ship Boveric. which is to load a cargo of lumber at Knappton. rreretofore. vessels liariinr at Knappton have entered and cleared at the local Customs House, but the Puget Sound Customs authorities have discovered that Knappton is In Washing ton and claim it is In their district, so they Intend to compel all vessels loading at knappton to enter and clear from Ta coma. notwithstanding the extra expense It will incur, especially to foreign craft, as they must pay the expense of two trips of a Customs officer from the Sound, one to enter the craft and another to clear her. The burden will not be so heavy oh American vessels, however, although they tnav be bound for foreign ports. I'nder the law no foreign vessel with cargo can clear from one American port to ano'ther. but with an American vessel It is different. Thus, if a coaster loads at Knappton. she can clear for Astoria by merely mailing a manifest to Tacoma and after going Into the' stream can then clear from the local Customs House for any port desired without Incurring so much additional expense. It la under stood the matter will be taken up with the department in Washington with a view of permitting all vessels to clear from here as formerly. T HOLD IP STOREKEEPER AND PATRONS IX SPOKANE. Proprietor Commanded to Put Down - Baby and Empty Cash Draw With Gun I'nder Nose. SPOKANE. Wash.. Sept. 12. (Spe cial.) "Put down that baby and dig up your money," was the command given bv the leader of a pair of masked thugs to E. W. Adams, proprietor of the Kenwood grocery store, this evening. In the tore. purchasing the good things for the Sunday dinner, were two women and the groceryman was holding his baby in his arms. The demand on the grocer was backed up by a revolver, and Adams put down the baby, who toddled about the store while the father tremblingly emptied the till and his pockets. Meanwhile the other thug terrified the women but their terror was not the sort that ties the tongue. "You ought to be ashamed of your self." said one woman to the holdup. She' had picked up a banana 'which the thug for a moment evidently thought might be a weapon. "We don't Intend to harm you." he said to her, "you put down that banana and quit your rag chewing." The woman and Adams then held up their hands in the air until the maraud ers had taken all the money the grocer had. The women were not robbed. The Kenwood is a corner grocery in a well populated section of the residence district. " WINSTON CHURCHILL WEDS Young English Statesman Marries Miss Hosier at Westminster. LONDON. Sept. 12.
