Ohio - Says Political ; 'Action, Not Direct Action, Is Way.to Win. (0n!td Pren Leimed Wire.) Seattle, Wash., Nov, 21. John W. Mitchell has been offered sufficient support to elect Jitm' president of the n American Federation of Labor In place . or Samuel Gompers, according to dele gates of the United Mine Workers who . are urging & change in the federation . control. T Mitchell has thus far declined to say .-; whether he will be a candidate. .. Passage by congress of bills provid ing for employment by the government on government projects, of the unem 'k ployed, and the passage of laws for pen v stoning the unemployed under some - reasonable system, were urged in a resolution adopted today. Resolutions were adopted indorsing a Campaign, for the organization of em ? ployes of the Standard Oil company, the Mergan thaler Linotype company, and for a special campaign of organization in all lines in New York city. Boutin Business. - The morning session was taken up with consideration of routine business of the federation. It is expected that ; consideration of the electrical workers' controversy will be taken up late today. A building devoted entirely to an ex hibit by ye American Federation of Labor, or half of a building devoted to an exhibit on sociology ut the Panama Pacific exposition will be asked for by a committee of the federation which Is ' going to San Francisco at the close of the convention here. Max S. Hayes, the Ohio delegate to the American Federation of Labor, de ' clared the Industrial Workers of the 'World to be the worklngman's foe In I the Ufllted States, during a debate at I. W. W. headquarters last night. A. P. of X.. Is Open. ' Hayes showed the A. F. of L. Is open to all kinds of unskilled labor and de clared that the I. W. W. Is organized on 'a wrong basis. "Forget this tommyrot about sabotage ! and direct action," he said. "Vou will only get a mob to follow you for a short -time under such a doctrine. The only way to win is through political action. "Bill Haywood had one of the bright-1 est futures of any man in the labor i rank. If he had stayed with us the reactionaries In the A. F. of L. might not now be in power. He chose to go with the I. W. W. and now 1iis race is almost run."

Technical questions upon which the lo. cal office Is unable to express an opin ion are sent to William. If. Osborn, com missioner of internal revenue, at Wash ington, for an official ruling.

PIONEER RAILROADMAN. " IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION Slight .Improvement Reported . From Col. J;.tB. Eddy's ; Bedside Today, Without any marked change,- the con dition of Colonel 3. B. Eddy, tax and right of way agent of the O W. R. &. n who"' 1a i.' critically 111. showed some "encouragement this after noon at Good Samaritan hospital. His heart action is being stimulated with strychnine, though he is still uncon scious much of the time. Colonel ECiy has had a long and va ried experience in the -west. Though he was born in England, he came to the region west of the Rockies, where lie found life of the rough and ruggel type. As. publisher of a newspaper in Nevada while still In. his late teens, ha got the "back-to-the-land" Idea an I later moved to Oroirnn whnfA ! a f-' - In Umatilla county for a time. His po litical aspirations won him a position as deputy sheriff, which he served for several terms. He was Interested In the Pendleton Tribune for a time before his appointment to the sheriffs office. Not a few desperadoes felt his clutch and it was thus that he acquired a rough and ready manner which made him on of the best of Judges of human nature It was under Captain Martin that h got this Iron handed experience. Tiring of this career, however, Col onel Eddy later found his way to thj upper Willamette valley, where, as ed itor of a paper at Roseburg, he renewed his Journalistic pursuits. His political influence secured for him the post of reading clerk in the legislature for several terms and later he became a member of the old railway commission. He was retained in this office until the J: Colonel J. B. Eddy. commission' was abolished and then be came associated with the Oregon Rail road & Navigation company In the tax and right of way department. He re mained In that line of work from that time on, which has been 15 years. When the reorganization of the Har rlinan system severed the Southern Pa cific and the northwestern link of the present I'nlon Pacific two years ago. Colonel Eody was placed at the head of the O.-W. R. & N. tax and right of way department. a reoent question: "Should banks with hold the tax of one per cent on notes presented to them for collection?" th'! commissioner has ruled that the person who makes the notq and pays the inter est is the source not the collection agent. That banks and trust companies and other banking institutions receiving d--poits of money are not required to withhold at source normal tatc of one per cent on Interest paid to their de positors, is another recent construction of the law. Banks are also not to withhold tax on Interest on payable obligations of state, county, city or other political subdivisions. Such obligations are hel.l by the bureau of internal revenue to be exempt. "AH'S A CHINK," REPLIES DUSKY MATRON, IN TOILS l.os Angeles. Nov. 21.
