"Homestead strike and should not be ac
cepted under any ' circumstances." The
motion was vigorously cheered and Jnhan
sen was requested to put It in writing
and present It later to tbe convention for
action.
Letters were read from Governor J. F.
McDonald of Colorado, the Denver Board
of Trade and business and labor organisa
tions, Inviting the federation to meet next
year In Denver. The letters were referred.
W. Moaner, fraternal delegate from the
British Labor Trades' Council, was then
Introduced and addressed the convention
at length on the labor situation In Eng
land. Mr. Mosser delivered an Interesting ad
dress concerning labor conditions scross
the sea, during which he was interrupted
by a cry of "fire."
Immediately the delegates in the rear of
the hall rushed for the doors.. The panic
was greatly Increased when the rear doors
were thrown open and disclosed that the
decoration of the vestibule and stairs lead
ing to the street were In flames. President
Gompers rapped loudly for order and the
delegates became calm. The fire originated
from some unknown cause, but was quickly
extinguished by the janitor. i ' . .
Adjournment was taken until t o'clock.
Aid for Women Workers.
Miss Mary E. McDowell, president of the
Women's Trade Union league and Miss
Gertrude Barnum, secretary, both of Chi
cago, addressed the convention at the after
noon session. Both the women made an
earnest plea., for the adoption of a resolu
tion presented by Thomas L Kidd, re
questing that congress make an appropria
tion to be used to Investigate the conditions
existing among the women workers In the
United Btatea. , Miss McDowell said tlere
wore 2.0O0.000 women hi this country who
were compelled to make their own living.
The members of the union at present are
not as helpful to these as- they should be,
she said, but as female- toilers had to work,
they must either be co-operatives wUh.the
federation members or competitors. The
resolution was adopted.
Will ICdaeat-Prearhers. .
Rev. Btels of Chicago, superintendent of
the department of church and labor of the
Presbyterian Church of America, then ad
dressed the convention. . Rev. Btels then
spoke -of trade unionism and Ita relation to
the church. ' He said:
The organised church and organised labor
stand for the same principles. If 1 thought
the church did not stand for these prin
ciples I would abandon It Immediately.
Trade unionism has accomplished much for
the people of this country and while I un
derstand that untonlHfn is responsible for a
number of evils, its good deeds overshadow
all the evil ones. The ministers of the
church are not well enough acquainted with
unionism and Its principles, and I will say
now that it will be mv alia to teach the
preachers of the Presbyterian faith In
tills country more about the ethics of
unionism In the next year.
David Gllmour of Scotland and William
V. Todd of Toronto, Canada, also ad
dressed the convention.
The motion presented at the morning ses
sion declining the $100 offered by H. C. Frick
for the entertainment of the delegates while
In this city was withdrawn this afternoon
by Delegate Johanssen. He announced he
had learned that the money had not yet
been presented and that It would be re
jected when It was offered, and for this rea
son withdrew the motion. President Gom
pers said the delegates would be entertained
at the Grand opera bouse this evening. The
convention adjourned at I o'clock until to
morrow In order to give , the committees
additional time to prepare their reports.

of the Milwaukee road much concern. All

taken steps to relieve tbe congestion and

As a result of the blowing up of the

the Wind River Indian reservation near
here last week, the government has ordered
tbe. stationing of squada of CniUd States
cavalry from Tort Washakie at Thermopo
II s. Red Canyon and on the Wind river
, Any further attempts to harm Boyaen or
molest his property, even though ha is not
on the reservation, will meet with drastic
military measures. Th identity of the
raiders is still a mystery. Tracks of two
men were found leading from tbe scene
of the dynamiting, but the trail ws soon
lost and the men have probably escaped.

ST. PETERSBURG! Nov. 17.-2:26 a. m.
Though. the lndustrln.1 tleup in t?t. Peters
burg yesterday was even more complete
than It was Wednesday, and though no
break hss been manifested In the ranks of
the workmen and strikers have broken out
at Moscow and Reval. the most Important
feature of yesterday's developments was
the failure of the walkout to spread gen
erally outside the capital. The movement
apparently lacks the spontaneity and con
tsglousness of the last great strike, which
broke out at Moscow, and dispatches re
ceived from the Industrial centers of Rus
sia up to this hour show little Inclination
on the part of the workmen to take up
cudgels In behalf of Poland.
The factory strike at Moscow, which has
assumed considerable proportions, probably
46,000 men being out. has no direct connec
tion with the St. Petersburg walkout, and
dispatches from the eld capital say that the
railroad men received the request of the
St. Petersburg strike' committee coldly.
The whole great network of railroads cen
tering at Moecow, except the St. Peters
burg, line Is still In operation. At Reval
the employes of the railroad shops struck,
but the reason for the strike Is not stated.
Good Order la St. Petersburg.
St. Petersburg yesterday passed with
complete order. Patrols were visible in nil
tho Industrial quarters and Cossacks were
trotting up and down the Nevsky prospoot
among the swiftly dashing carriages and
sleighs, but the workmen. In obedience to
the orders of the strike committee, kept
generally Indoors and did not .attempt
demonstrations, so that there was no oc
casion for a resort to force to avert trouble.
The strikers forced the closing of the
Moscow railroad station early yesterday
afternoon, stopping outgoing traffic for
Moscow, and at 10 o'clock last night thpy
finally succeeded in closing the electric sta
tions and In cutting off light from the city.
There is a betterment of the agrarian con
ditions. Dispatches from Kusk. Poltavla, Rluan.
Samara and other provinces continue to re
port tho spread of disorders, which In Tol
tava are taking an antl-Jewlsh turn. How
ever, the imperial manifesto regarding the
distribution of the crown domains, which
by strenuous work was finished last night,
will be Issued early this morning, and the
emperor and Count Wltte hope it will tend
to pacify .the peasants and have an Import
ant tactical effect on the coming struggle
with the socialists and other antl-govern-ment
forces In tho elections for the Doumn.
Paalc on Rasalan Bosrie,
A panic prevailed on the Bourse today as
the result Of a rumor that Grand Duke
Nicholas Nlcholalevltch. commander of the
Imperial Guards, had been appointed mili
tary dictator. There was a stampede of
holders of Industrial stocks who hastened
to unload. Government lotteries fell 25
points to 400 and ImperiRt 4s dropped to
83li, a lower point than touched at any
time during the war.
There was an Immense meeting of work
men and Polish sympathisers at the new
theater on the Moka canal this evening.
An overflow meeting was held outside.
Members of the' Polish delegations spoke In
a very temperate tone, declaring that Po
land did not aoeeeptraUon, knowing that
ah Independent Rotund would be an easy
prey for Germany. ' They wanted and be
lieved they were entitled to autonomy and
asked the aid and 06-ope ration of all be
lievers In the principle of self-government.
M. Vouch, chief of Premier Witte's chan
cellory, authorized the Associated Press to
positively deny the rumor' that a dictator
had been appointed. He also declared that
it had not been decided to declare martial
law In St, Petersburg.
Palao Emperor Appears.
A false emperor has suddenly made his
appearance near Penxa and already his
followers number to.OoO. This la the start
ling report received this afternoon In a dis
patch from Simbirsk. Penxa Is In the heart
of the vast region extending westward from
the Volga, where .agrarian uprisings on a
large scale have been occurring, and If the
report turns out to be true that the pre
tender to the throne has placed himself at
the head of the peasantry the government
will soon face, besides its other troubles, a
formidable agrarian rebellion. It required
a year to suppress the famous rebellion led
by PugatichofT, who Impersonated the de
throned and murdered Peter HI In the
time of Catherine II. That uprising was
started In the same region, on the banks
of the Volga.
None of the papers, except the Official
Messenger, appeared this morning, but the
printers of each newspaper themselves
published fly sheets announcing that the
strike was for the purpose of abolishing
the state of Beige, the death penalty and
martial law throughout Poland. It Is now
definitely established that the cry set up
by the socialist leaders against the execu
tion of the Cronatadt mutineers was pre
mature, as their trials have not yet actu
ally begun. ,
Laad I kas ts leased.
LONDON, Nov. 176 a. m A dispatch
from t. Petersburg to Reuter's Telegram
company says that, an Imperial manifesto
granting land concessions to the peasants
was Issued this morning. By Us terms
the land redemption tax payments from
January 14, 19ut, will be reduced by one
half and from January 14. 1907, the pay
ments will be totally abolished. At the
same time the capital of tbe Peasants'
bank is Increased and the bank Is granted
additional' loan privileges with the object
of facilitating to the utmost the purchase
of lands by peasants. . It ia estimated that
the amount of taxation thus lifted from
the peasants by the manifesto will aggre
gate $40,000,000, while the extension of the
Held of operations of the Peasants' bank
will enable vast tracts of crown and pri
vate lands gradually to become the prop
erty of the peasants.

MOODY ON PACKERS' PLEAS
Ittorotj Oeoeral Eayi Oarfield Did Hot
Prtmitt Imminity to Witneuei.
TESTIMONY NOT USED BY GOVERNMENT
o . Part of Evidence Sernred
the Secretary Was Submitted
to the Grand
lary.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1. -Attorney Gen
eral Moody today made a statement with
reference to the pleas In bar filed by the
defendants In the Indictment against the
beef packers pending In the district court
at Chicago.
He said he believed that the public was
entitled to some accurate Information with
regard to the facts and thst It could be
given without affecting the Interests of the
government or Infringing upon the Just
rights of the accused. The statement con
tinues: Ten separate pleas In bar have been
filed, earn of them Alleging facts which
it is claimed ought to bar the government
from proceeding further in this esse.
Eight of these pleas are based on the
alleged conduct of Mr. Garfield, commis
sioner of corporations, In making an in
vestigation of the affairs of the defendants
In pursuance of the authority conferred
upon him by law, and In special obedience
to the resolution of the house of repre
sentatives requiring him to make such In
vestlgatlon. The resolution under which Mr. Gar
field acted Is as follows:
"Resolved, That the secretary of com
merce and labor be, and he Is hereby, re
quested to Investigate the cause of the
low prices of beef cattle In the United
States since July I, 19o3, and the alleged
unusually large margins between the prices
of beef cattle snd the selling prices of fresh
beef, and whether the said conditions have
resulted In whole or In part from any con
tract, combination In the form of trust
or otherwise, or conspiracy In restraint
of commerce among the several stales and
territories or with .foreign countries; also,
whether the said prices have been manipu
lated In full or In part by any corporation,
Joint stock company, or corporation combi
nation ensaged in commerce among the
several states or with foreign nations; and
if so r lnvesfl-o.e the orvanlzntion, capi
talisation, profits, conduct, and manage
ment of the business of such corporation,
companies and corporate combinations, and
to make early report of his findings ac
cording to law."
Pleas of the Parkers.
Under the act creating the Department
of Commerce and Labor, the commissioner
of corporations had the right to subpoena
and compel the attendance and testimony
of witnesses and the production of docu
mentary evidence, and to administer oaths;
but the regard for all persons who are
subpoenaed to testify or to produce docu
mentary evidence, It Is provided that Im
munity from prosecution shall be given
them, if they obey the commissioner's sub
poena except that they shall be liable for
perjury for giving false testimony.
T. . J1. ln bnr "I've In various forms:
(1.) That Mr. UarflelAdld compel the sev
eral defendants to attend under subpoena
and to testify and to produce documents
before him.
(2.) That he waived the oath which he
was authorized to require of them.
(3.) That he promised them for what they
did with respect to giving of testimony
and the production of documents, that they
should receive the immunity provided bv
law; and,
4.) Tbat the testimony thus obtained
from the defendants was delivered to the
department of Justice and to the district
attorney and by the latter usd before the
grand Jury to obtain the Indictment.

oath which he was authorised to require
of them, or that he promised them anv
Immunity whatever In the premises, or that
any evidence obtained from the defendants
was delivered to or used by the Depart
ment of JuKtice or the district attorney
before the grand Jury which found the In
dictment. Garfleld Testimony Is ot teed.
The attorney general asserts In positive
terms that none of the Information ob
tained by Mr. Garfleld was used before
the grand Jury, and further says that he
is informed by Mr. Oarfield and believes
that at certain stages of the Investigation
the defendants declined to give Information
unless they were put In a position to ob
tain the immunity provided by the act of
congress and required by the constitution
of the United State, and that when such
Instances occurred, acting after conference
with the attorney general, Mr. Garfield ab
stained from pursuing the Inquiry further
and made no other attempt to obtain In
formation, documentary or otherwise, along
these lines.
After full conference with Mr. Garfleld
the answer of the government will be pre
pared by Mr. Pagin, under the supervision
of the attorney general and with the as
sistance of the district attorney, and will
be taken to Chicago and filed In the court
there next week. .
No Papers
Were Seised.
The seventh
plea In bar urges that the
government unlawfully seised certain pa
pers of the defendants and submitted them
to the grand Jury contrary to. the rights
conferred upon them by the constitution.
The government denies that It obtained
any reports otherwise than by the orderly
process of subpoena directed to the person
who had the custody of them.
The eighth plea sets up as a defense the
fact that the government heretofore pro-
! ceeded against the defendants by a petition
under tne Sherman art under wliun peti
tion an Injunction against the continuance
of the combination was issued about three
years ago and was affirmed laat winter by
the unanimous opinion of the supreme
court, the attorney general himself having
personally argued the case for the govern
ment In that court, and claims that by tak
ing this action the government elected to
pursue the civil remedies and Is disbarred
from resorting to a prosecution under the
criminal provision of the anti-trust law.
The government admits the facts, but
contends that they constitute no bar to
the criminal prosecution.
The answer prepared by the government
will raise a mixed Issue of law and fact
to be determined, not by the attorney gen
eral or the district attorney, but by the
court In which the proceedings are pending.
The government will reBlst these pleas
and demand a speedy trial of them, but
the attorney general refrains from express
ing an opinion on them, aa it would be
obviously Improper for him to do so while
the questions are pending in the district
court.
