The American
of Labor
Last week the editor of The Wage-
worker had the pleasure of attending
several sessions of the American Fed
eration of Labor convention at Minne
apolis, and of meeting personally sev
eral of the noted labor leaders of the
country Samuel Gompers, Frank
Morrison, John Mitchell, Charles Bold,
Congressman-elect Wilson, Timothy
Healey, E. Gerry Brown, and others
too numerous to mention.
The chief purpose of the editor's
visit was to extend to the Federation
an invitation to hold its 1907 meeting
in -Lincoln. By courtesy of . President
Gompers and the convention he was
given the floor just before the noon
adjournment . on Saturday, and pre
sented the claims of Lincoln. Tho
letters of invitation signed by Gov
ernor Mickey, Mayor Brown and Mr.
Bryan were loudly applauded, and by
direction of the president were ord
ered placed on the records of the con
vention. Had Lincoln been represent
ed at the beginning of the convention
by two or three good hustlers, backed
by the advantages offered, there is
little doubt that the convention could
have been launched. As it was, James
town, with the attraction of the ex
position, was on the ground from the
start and had secured the inside track
before any other city was mentioned.
The Lincoln delegate was given a
warm reception by the convention, and
was-assured that the claims of " this
city would be given careful considera
tion. If the Lincoln Commercial Club
had taken hold of the matter In the
right spirit when the matter was first
called to its attention, Lincoln would
bave been a sure winner. That was
generally conceded by the many dele
gates with whom the Lincoln repre
sentative conversed.
Right here, is just the proper place
to correct an erroneous report sent
out by the Associated Press from Min
neapolis last week. It was in effect
that the delegates to the American
Federation of Labor had by a vast
majority after a careful canvas, en
dorsed Theodore Roosevelt for presi
dent again in 190S.
There's nothing to it.
The editor of The Wageworker was
one of the delegates interviewed, and
his answer was about the same as
that of the other delegates. This is
the way it was done:
"I represent the Minneapolis Daily
Bladder, and we are taking a poll of
the delegates to ascertain how they
stand on the question of President
Roosevelt being a candidate for re
election in 1908. Would you care to
be qui ted on this matter?"
That is what the gentlemanly young
reporter would spring on the delegate.
and this is about what the reply would
be:
"O, Roosevelt's all right, I guess.',
And upon that sore of a foundation

The Ohio iaw providing that after

The street railway men still hang
bsick and refuse to organize. They
prefer unorganization, long hours and
small pay to organization, good hours
and fair pay. And they are getting
their preference with a vengeance.

The strike which tied up the Car
negie Technical Schools building
(Pittsburg) operations have been de

Italians employed on the job were

At ;he New England label confer
ence of cigarr.iakers' union just held
at Portland, Me., it was shown that
there is but one non-union cigar fac
tory in all 'New England, and that
there are but twenty cigarmakers em
ployed in the six slates who are not
members of the union. Not a cilild

England.

at Minneapolis
was builded the Associated Press ra.
Krt that the delegates to the Amer

had endorsed President Roosevelt for

Doubtless you have seen'in the daily
papers a great deal of dissatisfaction
on the part of organized labor with
President Gompers' political policy. It
is all in the newspapers. If we are
able to understand symptoms, Presi
dent Gompers will be backed up in his
policy by an overwhelming vote. The
opposition will be confined to the soc
ialist element and to a few men whose
unionism is always subservant to some
political influence.
On every hand was heard expres
sion of regret that Hearst was de
feated in New York. "Organized labor
stood by Hearst," declared Timothy
Healey, of New York. "The man who
denies that statement does not know
what he is talking about. The vote
shown it. Hearst was beaten by a
combination of boodle, dishonesty.
high finance' 'and treachery in the
democratic camp. .Organized labor
stood solid."
One of the most prominent dele
gates was Miss Mary McDowell, of
Chcago, representing the Woman's
Trades Union League. She addressed
the convention Saturday morning and
made a strong plea to the men to
assist in the work of organizing the
women workers of the country.
It was an' inspiration to meet the
stalwart workers in the cause of un
ionism. The interest manifested at
Minneapolis is an indication that the
cause is progressing.
