Problem nf Mm-liil 1,1 f-.
Our economic und soclnl life presents to
us now find complex problems. The century
now opens before us tho keenest apprecia
tion on tho part of nil that upon ourselves
find upon our unity and upon our action
1 . ?,J." nfety nf manhood, womanhood and
childhood of our country. There have been
no rlghtfl accorded unless they have been
conquered through unity, tho wisdom and
the willingness of those who have acquired
them to bear burdens and make sacrifices.
What Is truo of tho paBt.ls true of tho
present, und will bo equally truu of the
future. To organize tho yet unorganized
workers; to build up national and Interna
tional unions; to make our organizations
daily more crfectivo to defend the tollers;
to protect und promoto their interests 111
every way; to nssuro beyond nil per
ndyenturo the vuntngo ground nlready
gained; to progress continually In abolish
ing thut which tho workers, their wives
und children lmvo too long borne, nnd the
achievement of that Juntlcn to which they
arc entitled. The success of these, as
tytdtled by our grcut cause, now nnd for
all time to come, rests entirelv upon the
working class ltsolf.
Tho laat yeur has witnessed almost re
markable growth In organization among tho
workers, who have realized that thero Is
no protection for their Interests or hope
for Justice and freedom In the futuro un
less It results from tho unity or the wage
working mnsses. While tho growth Is very
crntlfylng, there is another feature con
nected with It which Is nn even grenter
source of congratulation u')c workers
have organized In tho unions of their trudes
nnd callings; new unions have been formed
undiBeverul unions crrutud from heretofore
scattered nnd Isolated locais, und thus the
Btnbtllty of thn labor movement lias been
more nearly insured.
Wo have Issued direct from tho American
I-cderatlon of Labor during tho last year
849 charters to nntlonal nnd International
unions, 14; state federations of labor, Ri
city central lnbor unions, 9fi; local trade
unions (linvlnjr no national), 4S4; federal
lnbor unions,
Wo hud nt tho end of tho fiscal year,
October 31, 1900, utllllatcd with the American
Federation of Labor: National and Inter
national unloiiH, 82; stato federations, 10;
city central labor unions, ZW; local trade
unions nnd federal labor unions, 1,051.
There wero Issued during tho year from
national nnd International unions nnd the
American Federation of Labor (direct)
chiirteru to the following: Nowly rormed
unions, 3,375; charters surrendered or unions
disbanded, 318; leaving a net Increase of
local unions for the year of 2,027, nnd a gain
In membership of 291,329.
brcU tn Avoid Strikes.
Our movement seeks nnd has to a enn
slderublo extent Becured 11 diminution In the
number of strikes, particularly among the
best organized. In fuct. the number and
extent of strikes can be accurately guuged
by the extent, power nnd financial re
sources of an organization In any trado or
calling. The barometer of strikes rises with
lack of or weakness In organization, and
diminishes In extent with the power of
trade, unions.
Throuuh more comnact and better-cnuloned
trade unions have como Joint agree
ments nnd conciliations between the work
men and associated employers, and only
when conciliation has failed has It been
neeessiry to retort to arbitration, and thon
th only successful arbitration was arbitra
tion voluntarily entered Into.
It Is ntraqgo how much men desire to
compel other men to do by law. Whnt wo
aim to achlovn Is freedom through or
ganization. Arbitration Is only possible
wnen voluntary. 11 never ran ue success
fully carried unless the parties to a dlsDUto
or controversy are equal or nearly equal
In power to protect and defend themselves,

.o I'lncc for Color I.lnr.
Realizing the necessity for tho unity of
thn wage earners of our country, tho
American Federation of Labor lias upon
nil occasions declared that trades unions
should open their portals to all wuge-
YUIM-B, II I t-0,CUt V U III IIUUU, (JUIUT, Illl-
tlonullty, sex or politics, Nothing has
transpired In recent years which has called
for a change of our declared policy upon
this nuestlon; on tho contrary, everv ml.
dunce tends to confirm us In this convic
tion; tor, oven 11 11 were not a matter of
principle, self-preservutlon would prompt
tho workers to organize Intelligently und to
innko common cause. In maUlne- th.
declaration we have, we do not necessarily
proclaim uiui uiu pucini uurnur existing 00
tween the whites and blacks could or slimiM
be felled with one stroke of tho pen, but
when white and bluck woriiers nre com
pelled to work side by Bide under tho same
adverso clreumr.tonces und under equally
uniiur rumiiiiwiH, 11 seems nn anomaly
that we should refuse to accord the right
of organization to workers becnuso of a
difference In their color. Unless we shall
give the negro workers tho opportunity to
organize and thus placo them where they
can protect nnd defend themselves against
tho rupaclty nnd cupidity of their employ
ers; unless we continue the policy of en
deavoring to make friends of them, there
can bo no question thnt they will not only
hn forced down In the economic idea, nnd
bo against uny effort made by us for our
economic and social advancement, but raco
prejudice will be mudo moro blttor and to
th Injury of all.
Immedltoly upon reconvening at 2:30
o'clock, Secretary Frank MorrUon presented
his report to tho convention.
The secretary's report was unanimously
adopted.
Treasurer John H. Lonnnn thon read hli
report, which was referred to tho proper

In tho council chamber tonight the peo
ples' charter revision commltteo and the
committee of tho council appointed to ro
vise tho charter will meet to talk matters
over. Thrco committees aro now at work
on this charter, nnd it is possible that
some arrangement may bo mudo whereby
sub-committees of both general committees
may hn named to work together and con
aider tho needs of tho city In connection
with a now charter. So many things are
needed that it will really bo a hard matter
to dotermlne, to tho satisfaction of all,
what In bet for tho city. As there aro so
many lingers In tho plo It Is thought that
the effort will bo a tlzzlo, unless each of
the three committees get together and
namo ono or two men who can bo relied
upon to work ou the proposition.
Ono of tho suggestions made hy n bust
ness man is that tho city be authorized by
charter to remit taxes for from three to
five years for factories Intending to locato
here. This remittance of taxes to take
placo of the customary bonus. Another
point suggested is that thero bo an official
mfter reader, whose duty shall bo to tako
the recdlngs of all wnter, gas and electric
light meters in order that tho people may
not bo overcharged. This olllce, It Is stated,
ran bo tilled at a cost of $60 a month, and,
It Is asserted, will be a great saving to the
residents, the Inferenco being that those
who read meters will be careful and Jot
down the exact figures, knowing that their
work will be checked Other suggestions,
It h opected, will be made at tho meet
ing tonight, which will bo.tonsldered by the
sub-commlttceB.

cording to n resolution passed by the coun
cil Moic'ay night all supplies must bo ad

has been ri quested to mako nn estimate of
the needs of his department for six months,
In order that the articles needed may bo
purchased In quantities.
According to tho resolution tho list of
supplies needed by the various departments
must bo completed and filed with tho city
clerk today. Thero Is going to be a lot of
troublo about this new, order In caso an ef
fort Is made to carry out all of Its pro
visions, There Is, In the original resolution,
an emergency clnuco allowing $25 to he ex
pended In cases of Immediate need, but
the Johnston resolution, which seeks to
amend portions of tho Martin resolution,
docs not provldo for any expenditure with
out tho consent of the council.
Clerk Shrlgley says that If ho wants a
paper of pins or half a gross of lead pencils
ho cannot spare tho time to run alt over

spring, nnd If six months' supplies of
stationery arc purchased a great deal of
such material will bo useless. Tho general
Improsslon pic vails that thn council is
straining at a gnnt In. an effort to curtail
legitimate expenses.
Complain of Draymen,
Repeated complaints are being entered

through his work for the redemption of
the slums, In an lntcrvlow at the Her Grnud

"This Is my tlrst visit to Nebraska, and
If all of your people nro as strong and
hoalthy, mentally nnd physlcnlly, a those
In my nudlence nt Iloyd's tonight appeared
to be, you certainty havo the Btronuous

I havo been ns far west oa Chicago sev
eral times, but this Is tho first tlmo I
have crossed the Mississippi and tho Mis
souri, and I am most agfocably surprised
In the kind of people I have found out hero.
I havo lectured tn many of tho cities of
the east, but I never h..d an nudlcnco bo
quick In perception and appreciation as
tho ono I b polio to tonight.
"My work in which tho public Is in
terested Is confined to tho redemption of
tho Blums. You havo no tenements horo
such as aro found. In Now York and Chi
cago, yet you havo slum ttfo and It ought
to recelvo tho careful atventlon of your
good citizens. Tho beginning of a crimi
nal career by a boy ts too often the re
sult of tho Blum ltfo that ho is born to.
It Is the unfortunate environment of a
bad home that leads many a young man
to commit his first infraction of tho law.
See that the homes of the poor and Ignor
ant are clean, even if small and scantily
furnished, provide parka and playground
for tho children, do not encourage Idleness
and carolcssness with misdirected charity
and you will do much toward abating tho
ovlls of tho slums.
"I understand tramps aro given free
lodging at your pollco station. That Is a
very bad practice. Tho city that furnlshca
such accommodations Is always an attrac
tive point for tramps. What aro you to
do with them? Why, Just provldo a muni
cipal lodging house and Instead of giving
them a place on the floor to Bleep give
them a good bed and a good breakfast tn
tho morning, and thon have an experienced
charity officer separate tho wheat from tho
chaff. Send the bait ones to tho work
houso or put them In Jail, and keep the
good ones at tho lodging houso until somo
kind of employment Is secured for them
or until they can relieve themeolves In
Borao way. Whllo they are being thus
cared for make hem pay for it by sawing
wood, shoveling snow or cleaning tho
streets."
