A BRANCH HERE|& Desirability of One of the American Federations of Labor. TALK WITH VICE PRESIDENT DUNCAN Preliminary Correspondence and Conferences Already Held. PRESIDENT M’BRIDE’S LETTER ———__.+—___ Vice President James Duncan of the American Federation of Labor, in an inter- view last night in Baltimore with a repre- sentative of The Star, said, in speaking of the movement to organize a branch of the American Federation of Labor in this city: “I regard the movement as an already practically assured success, although it will necessarily be some little time before everything will be in smooth running or- der. A prelimirary conference may, how- ever, be held in Washington in the course of a very few days. “The present movement, as far as the American Federation of Labor is concerned, has grown out of the action of the execu- tive council of the A. F. of L. taken at the meeting of the latter during the week of April 23 of the present year, when a resolution was passed authorizing the vice president, whose headquarters are in Bal- t'more, to endeavor to form a central body of the American Federatien of Labor in the District of Columbia, either by getting scme of the central bodies now in exist- ence in Washington to unite in the move- ment, or, failing in that, to form a central bedy independent of the present District organizations, to be composed of locals of natioral unions who are already atfiiliated with the A, F. of L. and such vther locals as might be inclined to join the new or- ganization. Preliminary Conferences. “As soon as possible after I returned from the meeting of the executive council I entered into correspondence on the sub- ject of the formation of the new body with some of the most prominent of the labor leaders In Washington. The responses re- ceived were very gratifying and I have since made one or two visits to the na- tional capital in the interest of the move- ment. One or more committees from Washington have also come over to se me in regard to the subject, and matter are now in gool shape for the successfui starting of the new branch of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor as soon as the proper time arrives, and which is not now far distant. “On one of my visits to Washington I called on President McHugh of the local Federation of Labor and had a long talk with him in reference to the proposed new organization. I also talked with a number of other men who are prominent in labor cireles In the District, and found most of them strongly impressed with the be- lief that it would be a_good thing to have a branch of the A. F. of L. located in Washington, for many reasons, principal among whica is the possible influence that such an organization ight have with Congress in shaping legislation for the good of the members of the societies of organized labor. Mr. McHugh scemed to think, however, that it would not be best for the members of organized labor so. eties in Washington to enter into the f mation of another central body, there ve ing already in existence there the | Federation, I 66, IK. of L.; the ld ing Trades’ Council and the Carpenters’ Council, “I then put the direct question to Presi- dent McHush, whether it would not in his opinion be 1 ev for t Federation of Labor of the District of Columbia to be affiliated with the Ame: an Federat’on of Labor. M MeHuegh's reply was that he did not knew that at the present time it would, but that he did not care to be iden- ufied as being either for or against the movement. Re on ives Here Necessary. “Owing to the strategic importance Washington in reference to national legis lation it is very necessary that the Ameri- can Federation of Labor shall have repre- sentatives there, and as several of the lead- ing organizaticns have not cnly expressed a wish but an anxiety to become attached to a central body of the A. F. of I the executive ccuncil of the American Federa- tion of Lator look very favorably upen the movement to orga branch of the A. F. of L. in the District, cr to annex the present Federation und have that for the central body, working under a charter from the American Federztion of Labor. “In order to make this complete it is on- ly necessary to get the present c tion to‘reorganize under the constitution of the American Federation of Labor, which Practically calls upon all locals of affiliated national unions to attach themselves to central bodies working under a charter of the A. F. of L.” President McBride's Letter. A letter received in Washington today from President John McBride of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor at Indian- apolis says: “It is now’ generally admitted by all really educated and honest men that a thorough organiza- tion of the entire working class to rendér employment and the means of subsistence less precarious, by securing an equitable share of the fruits of their toil, is the most vital necessity of the present da: ‘o meet this urgent necessity, achieve this most desirable result, efforts have been made, too numerous to specify and too divergent to admit of more than and to the most general classification. Sutfice it to say that those attempts at organization which admitted to membership the largest proportion of others than wage earners Were those which went mcst speedily to the limits of movements that won't move; while of tre surviving exp s those which started with the most elaborate and haustive forms of abstract princip! were those which got the soonest into fatal complications an2 soonest became ex- hausted. n the face of so many disastrous fail- ures to supply the undoubtedly existing popular demand for a practical means of solving the great problem, the question naturally suggests itself to many: Which is the best form of organization for the peo- ple—the workers? “I unhesitatingly answer: The organiza- tion of the working people by the working people for the working people—that fs, the trade unions, Trade Unions Have Stood the Test. “The trade unions are the natural growth of natural laws, and from the very nature of thelr being have stood the test of time and experience. The development of the trade unions, regarded both from the stand- pcint of numerical expansion and that of practical working, has been marvelously rapid. he trade unions have demon- strated their ability te cope with every = emergency—economic or political—as_ it arises. “ii is true that single trade unfons have been often beaten in pitched battles against Yorces of united capital, Wut such defeats are by no means di: trou n the contrary, they are useful in calling the attention of the workers to the ne y of thorough organiz: , of the inevitab’e obligation of bringing ‘the yet norganized workers into the union, of uniting the hitherto di sted local un‘ens in national union: a yet higher un all national and f effecting affiliation of unions in the international one grand Redera ion in which each and all as distinc “In the work of the ‘organization of labor, the most energetic, wisest and devoted of us, when working individually, cannot hope to he successful, but by combining our ef- ferts all may, and the combined action of ail the unions, when exerted in favor of any one union, will certainly be more effi- eacious than the action of any one union, no matter how powerful it may be, if ex- erted in favor of an unorganized or a par- tially organized mass. Duty of Working People. “I assert that it is the duty, as it is als> the plain interest, of all working people to organize eas such, meet in council and take practical steps to effect the unity of the working class n indispensable pr::- Lminary to any ful attempt to eliminate the evils of which we, as a class, 80 bitterly and justly complain. That this much desired unity has never been achlev- ed is owing, in a great measure, to the Dor-recognition of the autonomy or the right of self-government of the Several trades, “The Americsn Federation of Labcr. however, avoids the fatal rock on which previous organizations having similar aims have split by simply keeping in view this furdamental principle as a landmark,which nene but the most infatuated would ever have lost sight of. “The rapid and steady growth of the American Federation of bor, arising frcm the affiliation of previously isolated, together with newly formed national unions; the establishment of local unicns of various trades and callings where none befcre existed; the spontaneous formation of federal labor unions composed of wage earners following various trades in places where there are too few persons employed at any one particular one to allow the formation of local urions of those trades, thus furnishing valuable bodies of auxil- faries ard recruits to existing unions upon change of abode, this steady growth is gratifying evidence of the appreciation of the tollers of this broad land of a form of general organization in harmony with their mcst cherished traditions, and in which each trade enjcys the most perfe>t Hberty while securing the fullest advantages of united action.” THAT M STREET PAVEMENT. President Dunlop Said His Company Had Nothing to Do With It. The officers of the Washington and Georgetown road deny the allegation at- tributed to certain citizens of Georgetown that through the influence of the company the District Commissioners have been per- suaded to change the grade and style of pavement of M street to the Aqueduct bridge in Georgetown. It has been repre- sented that the members of the Citizens’ Association are in a spirit of protest that this street should be improved at the be- hest of the railroad corporation, while other streets, it is asserted, are more in need of improvement. Said President Dun- lop to a Star reporter today: “It is utterly absurd to claim that this improvement was urged by the company. It is altogether false that the company had anything to do with the change of grade or the decision to pave M street with asphalt. The facts cre these: While | was away in the north in August I received a letter from our chief engineer, Mr. Carll, under date of August 16, stating that he learned with svr- prise that the Commisstoners contemplated an improvement of M street in the manner described, and asking for instructions as how the work of extending the cable t s from cur present terminus to the new pas- senger house at the bridge should be done. The intention of the Commissioners to change the conditions on M street w not learned by us until Mr. tractor, went to the District offi tain the grades for the new track: Carll thought that it woull be bett to anticipate the action of the © ers by paving between our trac! phalt rather than to relay the old pave- ment, which would have been much cheap- er, and then to replace it in the spring with asphalt, when the Commissioner: rated the work on the street. Mr. pointed out that if the space betw: tracks were paved with asphalt by us the bulk of the traffic along M street would le on our pavement instead of the old, rough Belgian block pavement. Immedi- ately upon the receipt of Mr. Carll’s ietter, the facts of which were a total surprise to me, I telegraphed him to have the worl done according to our permits and charter and to pave the track spaces with asphalt. That fs all that we have had to do with the Matter, and really the situation was forced upon us Without bringing us any advan- tage, for it would have been far cheaper for us to relay the old Belgian block pave- ment instead of replacing it with asphalt, as we have done. 1 know nothing of the protesting svirit that is said to be abroad in Georgetown, but I do not belive that it has any widespread foundation, a look at it, independently of tl interests, the ch from to asphalt on M improvement, and {is prot by a majority of the citizen == SONS OF V Washington Delegates to the Annual Encs A large number ef Sons of Veterans will leave this city to attend the fourteenth an- nual encampment of that order at ville, September 16 to The Wa! delegation will leave here tomorrow reon at o'clock.

Last night Detect Gallaher and Brown arrested a young white nm named Gecrge F. Hart, a laborer, living at 6th ard I streets northeast, charged with the larceny of two rings from Miss Susie R. Sweet, 1033 7th street north In the Police Court this stcry of the occurrence came the old stery of a young rings from for awhile, ever It morning the out. It was man borrowing “a lady friend” to wear them promising to return them when- she wanted them. 3 August 16 that Hart got two ring: from Miss Sweet, whom he had known for a long time. He kept the rings, one of which was set with a diamond and the other with a garnet. She told Judge Kim- ball that she had tried a number ot times to get them back, but without suce Hart denied that he had any ide stealing. He took the rings in a spirit of fun, and intended to return them whenever he was asked for them. He turned them over to Mr. Gallaher y erday when he was arrested. Hart told a ty straight ry, but Judge Kimball thought that a technical charge of larceny had been made out, and he fined Hart $10, —__— Valuable Property Sold at Auction, Contractor William A.

A Letter and Report-on the Sabject— Other Organizations That Held Meetings Last Night. The readers of The Star will remember that more than a week ago the prediction was made that the difffeulty between the plumbers and the steam fitters, by reason of the efforts of the former to keep the del- egates of the latter from admission to the Federation of Labor, would prove more far-reaching than was then generally sup- posed, and a report submitted by Messrs. William Whyte and John A. Brett, who were appointed to draft a letter to be sent to various organizations on the subject, which was adopted by the association at its meeting last night, proves that The Star was correct in its forecast of the situation. The letter, copies of which will first be sent to the master steam and hot-water fitters of the District, recites at necessary length the rates of wages paid and the interference of the plumbers in matters which the steam and hot-water fitters say belong more properly to their craft. It asserts that through plumbers doing work that does not attach to their trade, but does belong to that of the steam and hot-water fitters, the public are injured, and that it often becomes necessary for steam and hot-water fitters to remodel work that has been done by the plumbers, as the latter, not having served an apprenticeship at steam fitting, cannot reasonably be ex- pected to perform as good a job of work as those who have spent years in acquiring a knowledge of their craft. Suggesticns in the Report. A report which accompanied the letter, and which was also adopted, suggests the organization of eraployers, as well as em- ployes, in order to secure the best class of workmanship, and to be able to assure the public that by employing men who are skilled in their craft they will obtain bet- ter work than by giving their Jobs to per- sons who are unskiliful. It also recommends that the present rate of $3 per day be adopted as an uniform rate of wages for journeymen and $1.50 per day for helpers, in order that all employers ull be om am equal footing. The report © recommended that the p1 of employing helpers be done awa and that a time limit for service shall be substituted, A resolution was pa pathy to the steam fitters of Boston, who are now engaged in an effort to secure higher wages and less hours. Helpers Hold a Meeting. After the steam and hot-water fitters ad- jcurned the helpers had a meeting, which was attended by a large audience. A reso- lution was passed to meet Sunday next and organize a permanent branch of the tional Association of Steam and Hot-water Vitters and Helpers. It is understood that will be taken to ecure a charter from ed, tendering sym- the National Association, with which the new society will be affiliated. B tbers and Gas Vilters. The plumbers and gas fitters, at their meeting last night, appointed a committee to meet a similar committee from the steam and hot-water fitters, and see if amicable arrangements cannot be made for drawing a line of demarkation between the two crafts. This is understood as a preliminary movement to the withdra’ et the opposition of the plumbers to the admi on of the delegates m the steam and hot-water fitters to the Federation of The tion of plumbers voted to indor: the Federation to in Opera Hog dngton the unfair list. ‘The Carpenters!

A Successful Gathering and Earnest Discussion of Important Topics. The fourth annual meeting of the Poto- ™mac district conference of the A. M. EL Church adjourned sine die last evening, after a most successful two-days’ session. The attention of the délcgates was ovcu- Pied yesterday afternoon chiefly by two Papers—one by Rev. George W. Nichoison on tho question, “Is African Methodisin a Necessity?” the other by Rev. John W. Martin, was on the question, “Should the laymen of the A. M. E. Church have rep- resentatives in the annual conference?” At the conclusion of the discussion, the conference adjourned until 7:45 o'clock. The evening session of the conference was short. All unfinished business was dis- posed of, and the conference discussed a paper by Dr. Jenifer on “‘What are some of the barriers which retard the spiritual growth of the Christian Church?” All of the papers read were ordered printed in the church organ, the Christian Recorder. The conference then aGjourned to meet in one year. The place for next year’s con- ference is subject to call from the presid- ing elder. ——>__ WHEELMAN RUN OVER. A Case of Reckless Driving Causes Serious Accident. As Dr. Robert Smart, a medical student employed in the Army Medical Museum, was riding a bicycle, in company with two ladies, yesterday at the corner of 17th and K streets, a dayton wagon, driven by John Stewart and Ludington Chambers and containing two colored girls, dashed into the party. Dr. Smart was thrown from his wheel and fell under the wazon. The horse fell and the harness was broken. Stewart and Chambers assisted Dr. Smart to his feet, but immediately fixed up the harness and drove rapidly down the street, with a crowd of people in pursuit. At the corner of 19th street and Pennsylvania avenue Policeman Elgin stopped the horse and arrested the men. Dr. Smart was car- ried to Drew's drug store, on Connecticut avenue, where he received medical atten- tion. He was subsequently taken to the Emergency Hospital and afterward to his home, at 2017 Hillyer place. Stewart and Chambers claimed their horse was frighten- ed and uncontrollable. Bystanders assert they were whipping the horse and it was a case of reckless driving. = SS KERBEY’S CASE. MR. Judge Kimball Places Him Under Bonds or the Work House. The casc of Mr. J. O. Kerbey, an ex-con- sul cf the Urited States, who has been be- fore Judge Kimball in the Police Court this week, was concluded yesterday afternoon. The charge against kim was that of va- grancy, and dvring the three hearings the case had there were a number of witnesses against him, who testified to his avoiding his bills, which he had run up at hotels and boarding houses in this city. Altogether there were eight charges of beating land- lords, which were pretty clearly made out. Mr. Kerbey's attorney made an earnest plea for him, admitting that his financial methods may have been a little irregular, but that there was no intention to defraud, and that his client was not a vagrant. Judge Kimbtsll did not sec it in just that light, how2ver, and said that as it was his duty to protect the con.munity from all classes of people who are summed up as “beats,” Le would have to hold Mr. Kerbey in $10) bonds for his good behavior or send him to the work house for thirty days. ——__ Excursion Tickets to the Senshore.
