President Lee, of the New Orleans As sembly, Delivers Address of Wel come In Behalf of Laboring Men of New Orleans. New Orleans, Nov. 13.—The twen ty-second annual convention of the American Federation of Labor met this morning at i0:30 o’clock in Odd Fellows’ hall, about 400 delegates he ir g present. The hour originally set for the opening of the convention was 9 o'clock, but President Gompers was delayed so long at his hotel by newly arrived delegations who desired to see him before the convention opened that he was unable to appear at the hall before 10 o’clock. The visiting delegates were escorted from the St. Charles mansion, official head quarters, by members of the local trades and labor assembly, headed by Robert E. Lee, l ead of the local orgar. ization, and by James Leonard, the federation organizer for the state of Louisiana. When the convention had been call ed to order, President I.ee, of the New Orleans assembly, delivered an ad dress of welcome in behalf of the laboring men of New Orleans, to which Mr. Gompers responded. Mr. J^ee closed his address of wel come with a warm tribute to President Gompers personally, declaring that the members of the federation would follow him to the end. Mr. Gompers declared in his reply that he fully appreciated what had been said of him personally, and thought he could best show his appre ciation by his silence regarding it. After touching upon the scope an-! hearing of the labor union movement Mr. Gompers said that it was amaz ing to note the ignorance among so- calbd educated people regarding the aims and objects of the organizations. “No man who as an educator,” said President Gompers, “poses as a strike breaker, is fit for the position he holds. Compared to such a man Benedict Arnold was a martyr, and Judas Iscariot a saint.” Although no name was mentioned It was und< rstood by the delegat- s that reference was made to the hea 1 of one of the leading educational in stitutions of the country, and they ap plauded with vehemence. Cheers were again called forth when it was dei iared that the m-an who acted the role of a strike breaker was lookin ' backward toward barbarism and hot toward the future. A call was made for the report of the committee on credentials, a/i that hotly not being entirely prepared, a consldei able delay resulted. It de clared that 09 national organizations, nine state organizations. 59 central bodies, 54 local and federal bodies, ami four fraternal delegates had re ported and were entitled to represen tatlon. The total voting strength of the body reported by the delegates was about Id.000. It was represented that credentials be denied to a number of delegates who were opposed c hiefly because of non-payment of dues. A protest against the; seating of delegates of the Amalganiat'-d Association of Carpen ters was made by the United Brother hood of Carpenters and Joiners. Up on motion the contest was rofc rred back to the committee for further ac tion, and its other recommendations were adopted. James Duncan moved that a special committee he appointed to which all disputes between tha branches of the building trades should be referred, this committee to report dire ctly to the convention. This mo tion, which removed much of the work Incidental to the dispute between the carpenters from the floor of the con vention, was adopted. A special committee was also ap pointed to consider the differences be tween the longshoremen and other or ganizations. who claim the former are intruding upon their territory. Upon former motion of Delegate Duncan, the convention adjourned at 11:30 to meet at 2 p. m., at which time the reports of the officers of the organization was on the program. Machinery Dealers’ Association, Memphis, Nov. 13—The second day’s session of the Southern Supply and Machinery Dealers’ association was called to order by President Jen kins at 10 o’clock this morning. Sev eral papers were read, and a general discuss4on followed. “How Can Manu facturers Most Economically Distrib ute Their Products,” was the subject of an address by N. A. Gladding, of Indianapolis; Peter E. Blow, of Knox ville, read (a paper, ’‘Reciprocity;” Charles F. Aaron, of New York, dis cussed "The Outlook for the Ap proaching Year.” The afternoon will be given over to sightseeing, and this evening a banquet will be tendered.

Engine of the Passenger Train and Three Coaches Were Completely Wrecked—Passengers on the Train Buried Under Debris. Spartanburg, S. C., Nov. 24.—South ern train No. 35 was w “Hiked, the fireman killed and the engineer an-l several passengers seriously injured this morning at 2:30 o’clock in the yard at this place. The train had just started on its way to Atlanta, and while still in the yards collided with three box cars which had broken loose at the junc tion and were running down the hill at terriffle speed. The engine of the passenger train and three coaches were completely wrecked, as were the box cars. Three other coaches were slightly damaged but did not leave the track. It is not known just how the box cars got on the main line, as every precaution is taken by the railroad company to prevent just such acci dents as this, but the supposition is that they broke loose on the grade and split the switch and swung onto the main line on account of the mo mentum they had attained. The road is completely blocked and it will be several hours before trains will be run th-rough to Atlanta from this ix>int. Telegraph poles were bro ken down by the w reck and communi cation w-as cut off for some time. The killed: Bob Sifton, fireman. Wounded: Engineer EX B.
