rittsburg, Nov. 13. The 26th annu
al convention of the American Feder
ation of Labor, coincident with the
silver Jubilee of the organization,
which was founded in this city a quar
ter of a century ago. was opened here
today. iSamucl Gompers, the presi
dent of the Federation, called the
convention to order and delivered the
opening address. In which he outlined
the various important questions which
are to be considered and acted upon
by the convention.
The number of delegates attending
the meeting Is about 600. The repre
sentation is distributed on the follow
ing basis: From national or Interna
tional unions, for less than 4000 mem
bers, one delegate; for 4000 or more,
two delegates; 8000 or more, three del
egates; 16.000 or more, four delegates;
32.000 or more, five delegates; 64.000
or more, six delegates, and so on at
the same ratio. From central labor
bodies and state federations, and from
local trades unions, not having a na
tional or international union, and from
federal unions, one delegate.
Tile Mongolian Problem.
Among the most Important matters
which will come up for consideration
in the convention are the questions In
regard to the exclusion of Mongolian
labor, the matter concerning a move
ment among printers all over the
country in favor of an eight-hour
working day, and the proposition of
forming a Farmers' union to be affil
iated with the American Federation of
Labor. It Is stated on good author
ity that the convention will insist upon
the enforcement of the laws excluding
Chinese labor from this country- It Is
also stated that the movement in fa
vor of an eight-hour day for the print
ers will be warmly supported by the
Federation.
It is understood that a determined
effort will be made on the part of the
Federation of Labor to bring about
the unionization of the farmers of this
country and their affiliation with the
American Federation of Labor, for
' mutual benefit and protection. In
Wisconsin and Minnesota a number of
Farmers' unions have been formed al
ready, and, according to the state
ment of the officials of the Federation
the affiliation of these farmers' unions
with the American Federation of La
bor is merely a matter of time.
The leaders of the Federation are
highly enthusiastic over the prospect
of an alliance of the city wage work
ers with the farm hands and farmers
all over the country. The Western
Farmers' unions have sent delegates to
the convention and it is not expected
that the proposition of an affiliation
will meet with any serious opposition.
There Is a strong faction which ad
vocates not only the exclusion of Chi
nese labor, but also of Japanese, Cor
eans and others and it is expected that
an extension of the existing exclusion
laws will be strongly advocated. As
to European Immigration it will be
probably recommended to order edu
catlonal tests and a poll tax. Other
Important matters which will be given
considerable attention are the ques
tion of a universal eight-hour day
child labor, sweat shops and federal
injunctions.
WORK ON NEW LINE.
Connell and Spokane to Be Connected
by Rail.
Senator Charles T. Hutson, who was
In the city yesterday from Connell,
stated that contractors were engaging
teams and men to begin grading work
at once on the Spokane & Columbia
River Navigation company's line at
that place. say the Walla Walla
Union.
Practically all of the right of way
from Connell to Spokane has been se
cured and It Is expected to have the
line In operation from Spokane down
through the rich wheat belt in Adams
county to Connell and on to Snake
river at a point near Fishhood ferry,

with electric power using very heavy
freight motors on the very heaviest
curs made, which will be built espec
ially for handling heavy traffic.
Senator Hutson feels confident the
line will be built ani that It is certain
to be a great success. If It is It will
give Connell three lines of railroad,
and of course will add materially to
Its Importance as a trading and busi
ness center.

lence on this occasion.
'Ttio Marriage of Kitty."
The Marriage of Kitty" proved one
of last season's successes and apart
from the comedy's excellence, the
company Interpreting it hud much to
do with the hit it made wherever pre
sented. This cast calls for more than
ordinary skill and intelligence on the
part of the artists, and Manager Jules
Murry has supplied a company meet
ing every requirement. Miss Alice
Johnson, who heads the organization,
is a singer and comedienne of un
doubted merit. "The Marriage of
Kitty" will be at the Frazer on Nov
14.
"When Knighthood Wmm in Flow it."
Mary Tudor In "When Knighthood
Was In Flower." Is one of Roselle
Knott's most charming crmrni'terlza-
tlons. It brings into clear reiief all
her best attributes as an actress (and
they are by no means little ones). She
passes with ease from the Jocund spirit
of irrepressible and care-free girl
hood to the deeper note of the woman
aroused by love to a subtler knowledge
of herself and to some appreciation of
the solemn meanings of life. She has
never exhibited a merrier talent than
that which she employs In exploiting
Mary's raging temper: and nothing
that she has done In the way of com
edy compares In effectiveness, variety
and many-sided harm with this superb
study of the Tudor Princess. At the
Frazer, Friday, November 17.
THE COTTON SITUATION.
Bull In Control, and With Tendencies
Upward.
New York, Nov. 11. In their week
ly review of the cotton situation, Mil
ler & Co. say:
"The agitation and disturbance
caused by the sudden transition in
Russia from an absolute monarchy to
a constitutional government, have not
yet subsided, but It is believed to be
merely a matter of a short time until
the great empire will settle down to
the new order of things and a new era
of prosperity will take the place of the
period of distrust and apprehension
caused by the war and the Internal
troubles of Russia. The granting of
the constitution has had a powerful
effect upon cotton prices, When the
announcement was finally made, the
depression began quickly to give way
to a gradual improvement and sub
stantial gains have been made since
then.
The publication ot the crop esti
mates of A. J. Buston, of Liverpool,
who put the yield at 10,250,000 at a
maximum and compares the number
of bolls on the stalks with that of the
season of 1 S9H, has also had consider
able effect. It Is more than a coin
cidence that ever sluee that estimate
was given out spinners have been
free buyers In Liverpool and that
southern spot markets have been ac
tive and steadily advancing.
Usually during November, prices
suffer a serious decline under the
pressure of cotton arrivals for sale.
So far, the market has not only held
Its own, but has even advanced and
with every advance farmers are be
coming more Independent, and less
disposed to sell, except at steadily ad
vancing prices. A bullish sentiment
Is steadily growing and shows signs
of spreading beyond the confines of
the cotton trade. It Js likely to draw
In outside buyers In great numbers.
All that is required s a strong leader
to start a movement which will corry
prices very much higher."
Irrigation In Wasvo.
A company of local men at Trout
Lake have formed a corporation for
the purpose of building an Irrigating
ditch from Lost Creek that will Irri
gate a section 15 miles long from
Trout Lake west. This will open up
a new country that will make one of
the finest dairy sections In the upper
White Salmon valley. The ditch will
follow the natural water courses for
most of the way, so that the expense
will be very light for the distance
traveled, the estimated cost being only
about )3G00. It Is said that there Is
plenty of water to Irrigate all the
land Under the ditch. The Dalles

The state of Washington Is doomed
to disappointment In one of Its na
tional Irrigation projects for, contrary
to expectations. Secretary Hitchcock
has declined to approve the Tleton
and Okanogan irrigating projects In
that state. Secretary Hitchcock re
fused to approve these projects on the
ground that the cost of reclamation
would be about $1,500,000, which is
more than the reclamation fund could
stand at this time.
He admits that M, 500, mm is not 61
per cent of the total amount of money
contributed by the Washington re
clamation fund, but Insists that to be
gin work on the Tleton and Okanogan
projects would leave him without a re
serve fund with which to meet emer
gency cases in Washington.
Secretary Hitchcock Insists that It
would not be business-like for him to
go ahead and expend the Washington
portion of the reclamation fund with
out reserving a balance with which to
meet emergency cases. For instance,
he believes In ulways keeping a good
sum of money on hand with which to
relieve distressed homesteaders by
buying up neighboring canals, thus al
leviating conditions and protecting
homesteaders. No other reason Is as
signed for the defeat of these two pro
jects. There Is now pending before the
secretary the Sunnyside canal project,
which Involves the purchase of the
Sunnyside canal In Yuklma valley and
which Is now In private hands. This
project contemplates the reclamation
of 40.000 acres of land and It Is es

Health Filly Restored and the Joy at

When acheerful, brave, light-hearted
woman la suddenly plunged into that
perfection of misery, the BLUES, it la
a sad picture. It is usually this way :
She has been feeling "out of aorta
for some time; head has ached and
back also ; has slept poorly, been quite
nervous, and nearly fainted once or
twice; head dizzy, and heart-beata very
fast; then that bearing-down feeling,
and during her menstrual period she is
exceedingly despondent Nothing
pleases her. Her doctor say: "Cheer
up: yon have dyspepsia; yoa will be
all right soon."
But she doesn't get " all right," and
hope vanishes; then come the brood
ing, morbid, melancholy, everlasting
BLUES.
Don't wait until your sufferings hare
driven yoa to despair, with your nerves
all shattered and your courage gone,
