No debate was on tho program for’ the opesting session because of the pre- liminary routine and introduction ot] resolutions, some of these possibly pre- senting new issues. Delegates here for the opening were estimated to rumber 600, forming what Samuel) Gompers, the federation president, de- scribed as the “parliament of labor.” “Our consideration of induriry and industrial problems,” said a formal statement by Mr. Gompers, forecast- ing the convention's work, “will be from the point of view service to the masses of our people. Our considera- tion of political problems will be from) the point of view freedom and progress for humanity.” The big notional guard armory, far, | net. n-EHlung Again ae of China PEKING, June 12.—(By The Associated Press.) —China, after ten days virtually without an executive head functioning in Peking, agam has a president and the nucleus of a cabi- Moreover, if indications are borne out, the two will have a fair share of support from the south China section whose opposition to the old government has done muci removed from the city’s business dis-|to keep alive civil war for the past five years. trict, is the seat of the convention.

K. Lindsay, 1131 West Thirteenth street, had both legs broken in an accident at 10:30 this morning while unloading a car- load of 500-barrel tanks for the Parkersburg Rig & Reel company. Several tank bottoms, weighing in ie neighborhood of 5,000 pounds, which were resting against the side of the car, became overbalanced and fell, the sharp edges of the steel plates catching Auborn and Lindley across * their feet and legs. Neither lost con- sciousness but the pain suffered by the pair was terrific. So heavy were the huge plates that it was impossible for the other workmen to remove them severally, thus prolonging the anguish of the suffering men. Auborn, who is married and hhs a son six months old, was rushed to the State hospital immediately following the accident, where it was found necessary to amputate his right foot at the ankle.
