AMERICANS EVACUATE

Vera Cruz, Mbxico.—The transport

States troops aboard, left the dock
herQ Monday noon at 2 o'clock and
American occupation of Vera Cruz be-
came*hlstory.
Only a few spectators witnessed the
departure. Shortly after the sailing
of the Cristobal 3500 constitutionalist
troops entered tbe city with three bat­
teries of artillery, four companies of
machine guns and 600 cavalry.
The constitutionalists entered the
city w'ith bands playing and the citi­
zens gave them an ovation. Many cit­
izens fled when the United States
troops sailed, but those who remained
were put at their ease when General
Caniido Aguilar, in command of the

cans and foreigners irrespective of

GOMPERS IS RE-ELECTED
Federation Refuses to Sanction Fight
for Universal Eight-Hour Law.
Philadelphia, Pa.— Samuel Oompers
was reelected president of the Ameri­
can Federation of Labor here for the
thirty-third time.
Though Gompers
was not opposed by any other candi­
date, nearly 100 delegates arose and
asked that their votes be recorded
against him.
The delegates c^ose San Francisco
for the federation’s 1915 convention.
Washington., Oregon and California
delegates were disappointed at. the re­
fusal of the federation to sanction a
fight in those states to establish a
legal eight hour day. The following
resolution was adopted by a large ma­
jority:
“Resolved. That the American Fed­
eration of Labor, as in the past, de­
clares that the regulation of wages
and hours of labor should be under­
taken through trades union activity,
and not by legislation, except in so
far as the employment of women and
children, health and morals, and the
employes of the national, state and
municipal governments are affected.”

Why Is there not a day of universal

blessing* they have received? Every
civilized nation recognizes a supreme
