The charge ha been made that union will
not sbtdo by sgrce mnts, but this charge
J elsare made by mn vho are opposed to
t.nlon labor.
Waal Data oa tVaaea.
' He asked tor comprehensive data In re
gard to wage and employment In various
parts of the country, referred to the ac
eptca of fraternal delegates lo European
r labor assemblies and welcomed tboae pres
ent from Europe, Canada and Porto Rico;
aid that the Canadian Trades and Labor
congress was In Una with the federation.
'Ha referred at length to the experience of
tha federation organiser In Porto Rico and
' aald that the lawa under which he bad
been arrested had been repealed. Several
unions formed by the organiser have been
chartered by American national and Inter
national bodies, but the Carpenters' union
haa refused to Issue such charters and Mr.
Oompers asked for action In the matter
by toe present convention.
In regard to the matter known as "trade
autonomy" and the "Jurisdiction problem"
Mr. Oom pera aald In part:
Berond doubt the greatest problem, the
danger which above all others threatena
not only the euccess, but the very exist
ence of the federation. Is the question of
Jurisdiction. I believe that unlene our af
filiated national and International unions
radically and noon change their course we
hall at no distant day be In the midst
of an Internecine contest unparalleled In
any era of the Industrlnl world. There Is
ararcely an afllllated organisation which Is
not engaged In dispute with another orga
nisation upon the question of Jurisdiction.
In many instances employer fairly In
clined toward organised labor have been
mado to surfer from causes entirely beyond
their control, and other employers, taking
udvantage of the trouhle have refused to
recognise either organization.
The president said that aomo of the min
er had threatened to withdraw from the
federation If they were not auatalned. He
urged that action be taken to check Indis
criminate attempt of unions to extend
Jurisdiction without the consent of organi
sations already In existenca, and that in
case of attempt! to secure decisions of offi
cer by coreclon tha officers be prohibited
from proceeding In the matter and that the
'.hreatenlng union be suspended until It has
withdrawn Ita threat.
Army of Ora-aataer.
Nearly 1,000 organizers are In the field
for the federation, fifteen of whom era on
salary all of the time and the remainder
part of the time. The expense of organiz
ing unions during the year has been $36,
S17.75, not taking Into account the expense
of the national officers and of the legisla
tive committees.
Mr. Oompers discussed legislation af
fecting labor, referring to the eight-hour
bill, which he said should be placed in the
hands of a special committee; the antl
injunctlon bill, which ho said should be
passed in the form In which It passed the
house, without the pending senate amend
ment; the convict labor bill, the Chinese
exclusion bill, eaylng that the present law
is defective and that tho question should
be reOpeaed by congress. He approved a
bill restricting immigration; denounced the
seaman's bill Introduced in tho house of
representatives by Mr. .Allen of Maine; ap
plauded the enactment of the bill to pro
tect musicians from the competition of mil
itary and naval bands, and said that billa
prohibiting child labor should be enacted
by the stales.
Referring to President Roosevelt and tbo
labor question, he quoted from the presi
dent's message to congreas, and aald that
his words have been verified by his action.

Bliss, James J. Hill. Rear Admiral Eni
wiste, Tiing Tshaoa Karaew, the Count De
Karscw and Frederick Hlrsch. A telegram
of regret waa read from Secretary Hay, In
which he said:
I should have been glad to bring my sin
cere tribute of respect of Mr. Wu Ting
Kan:. Conftant association with him for
several years have given me a high appre
ciation of his great ability and his open
minded statesmanship.
President Roosevelt sent tho following
dispatch from Memphis:
Pray accept my best wlnhes for your as
sociation and convey to the minister of
China the assurance of my hl-h esteem
and my appreciation of what he has done
toward eecuring cordial understandings and
goodwill between the two countries.
Promising to Promote Trade.
Responding to the toast, "The Health of
the Guest of the Evening," the Chinese
minister said In part:
As minister of China to this country,
when anything happens conrvrnlng both
countries which It Is my business to lay
before the State department I have but one
plain duty, to put It before the proper au
thority In an open and candid way.
I have the satisfaction of saying on the
eve of my departure that 1 have to a cer
tain extent fulfilled my duty to the satis
faction of my conscience, and I am pleased
to observe it has met the approval of the
people of this country.
The United States and China are prac
tically neighbors. So whatever takes place
In China cannot be a matter of indifference
to the people of this great country. When
the Pacific cable is finished It will unite
the oldest nation on earth with the
youngest. When the Isthmian canal la
completed it will shorten the route from
New Turk to Shanghai by thousanda of
mile.
With your energy and enterprising spirit
there Is no reason why your trade with
China should not eurpnss that which you
have with Great Britain. The traoe with
China la only In Its Infancy. n the course
of time It will, 1 have no doubt, be ex
tended to a great many other thlnga. On
the other hand, China haa got some goods
to give you In return.
As you know. I am leaving this country
to accept a higher position which has been
graciously conferred upon, me by the em-
?eror. It Is too early for me to say what
shall be able to do. But I assure you
that In my new position whenever I can do
anything for the promotion of trade be
tween these two countries you may depend
on It 1 shall not sparo pains to promote
that object.

Instead of. merely evacuating Shanghai and
withdrawing to their-respective garrison
stations. The papers add that a conflict

tho capital of the republic and aa the aeat
of executive power. The disbanding of the

having discovered that the revolutionists
j were short of ammunition, attacked them
at midnight in their last stronghold, near
Pan Mateo, precipitating the retreat which
the revolutionary leaders had planned for
the same morning.
The latest news regarding the where
abouts of General Matos, loader of Ihe
revolution, la that he was recently near
Nlrgua, two days' march from Barqulaa
raento, or three days from Tucacat, on tho
Atlantic, the only two places from which
It Is possible tor him to flee from Vene
zuela. Matos was accompanied by Generals Men
dosa, Rlera, Solagnla, Crespo. Torres and

guard duty at tbo terminals and on the
railway line Itself tor many weeks past.
This does not mean that the eecretary di
rected the withdrawals of the sailors and
marines, but simply that he was willing
that they might be disposed of In accord
ance with the present needs of the navy.
It la not doubted, however, that the result
will soon be the withdrawal of the Ameri
can forces aboard their war ships, Wiscon
sin on tho Panama side and Panther on
