May Result In

Kansas City Deo. 10. One hun-
dred and fifty delegates representing
more than six hundred thousand or-
ganized laboring men and women are
gathering in Kansas City for the pur-
pose of legislating for the bulk of or-
ganized labor in America.
The occasion la the eighteenth gen-
eral assembly of the American Fede-
ration of Labor which will be called to
order in S trope's hall Monday morn-
ing by President Samuel Gompers.
The attitude manifested by Presi-
dent Gompers toward the question of
territorial expansion causes his annual
address to be - awaited 'with extraordi-
nary interest by the general public
and the consideration of the same by
4 the convention will doubtless be fol-
lowed with equal interest. A promi-
nent labor leader of St. Louis who has
arrived to attend the convention said
to-day:
"I believe the convention will de-
clare emphatically against the annexa-
tion of the Philippines for the reason
that It would make millions of coolie
and other half civilized laborers of the
Orient citizens of this republic
As such they could not be
discriminated against by law and
would be brought to the United
- States to enter in competition with our
own workman the inevitable result of
which would be a great reduction in
wages. Already this very thing is be
ing done in regard to native labor of
the Hawaiian Islands and thousands
of them have been imported to take
place of American workmen. "
The convention will be opened at ten
o'clook Monday morning by President
Gompers and the first day will be con-
sumed by the president's address
and addresees of welcome by promi-
nent men. In the evening there will
be a reception at which the guests of
honor' will be William Inskip and Wil-
liam Thorne the British trades union
delegates. The British delegates will
have no vote in the conven'ion but at-
tend fraternally in accordance with a
custom of many years standing.
One of the features of the conven-
tion will be the report of Messrs.
Duncan and Lloyd who attended the
meeting of the British Trades' Union
congress for the Federation.
The conservative and most influen-
tial element of the delegates who are
here are inclined to the belief that the
opposition to the re-electfon of Presi-
dent Gompera will flash in the pan as
has been the case so many times be-
fore admitting at the same time that
the fight between the. "pure
and elmplers" as the Gompers
following is called who believe in
trade organization and are against
the Injection of outside questions Into
the trade union doctrine and the "pro-
gressives" as the socialists and others
who believe that the unions should
bend their energies toward securing
legislative reforms are classed pro-
mises to be more acute than
ever.
The opposition to President Gom-
pers is confined almost entirely to the
territory west of the Mississippi.
Second in importance to the terri
torial expansion question to come
before the convention is the proposi-
tion to abolish the boycott as a wea-
pon of organized labor. It is con-
tended that the same ends could be
reached by buying nothing but label
goods which would be a guarantee
that they were the product of union
labor. There is not much likelihood
that the proposal will be adopted al-
though it is probable that something
will be done to discourage using the
boycott except as a last resort.
PRESIDENT TO CUBA
He Will Visit Our New Islands Soon.
Washington Deo. 10. President
McKicley will visit Cuba and Porto
QUESTION
Rico in the near future. When the re-
port that the president had in contem-
plation such a trip . became known to-
day it caused much interest.
There was a revival of the convic-
tion that the chief executive could not
leave the boundaries of the United
States without forfeiting his office but
was laid to rest when it waspointed out
that this would not hold In the present
case inasmuch as Cuba and Porto Ri-
co are or soon will be under the Amer-
ican flag.
Mrs. McKlnley and several members
of the cabinet it is stated will make
the trip also which will occupy about
two weeks. The party will travel on
the United States dispatch boat Dolph
in.
Havana Santiago and San Juan are
among the places to be visited during
the tour of inspection. No date has
been set for the departure of the presi-
dent. It will probably occur some
time after January 1 the day set for
final evac nation of Cuba by the Span
lards.

terms: That within the next ten years
the United States construct an
Inter-oceanio canal; that she
and no other power exercise
control over the waterway and the
banks of the canal; that if the United
States ever abandoned her power to
control it should be offered first to
Great Britain; and that the canal
should be open at all times to all na-
tions at peace with the United States
and the duties Charged snould be the
same in case of American and all other
vessels.
