An Important Letter on Politics From President Gompers, Advises All Workingmen to Abstain From Affiliation With Any Party—Other Business. The meeting of the Central Labor Union which was held last evening, was consider- ed by the delegates in attendance as the most important yet held by that organiza- tion. President Milford Spohn ~ presided, Mr. Joseph F. Torrens was secretary, and every dffillated union was fully represented. The following letter from President Samuel Gompers was read and placed on file: “We will soon be in the throes of a po- litical campaign. The passions of men will be seught to be aroused, their prejudices .and supposed ignorance played upon and brought into action. The partisan zealot, the political mountebank, the statesman for revenue only, as well as the effer- vescent, bucolic, political party, cure-all, sophist and fakir, will be rampant. The dear workingman and his interests will be the theme of all alike, who really seek party ativantage and success, though civ- ilization fail, labor be crushed ard relapse into barbarism be the result. “We are on the eve of events which will put our members, our unions and our en- tire movement to a most critical test, a test which may mean either a partial disso- lution of our organizations or their grewth, extension and development. It is because of the great trust committed to my care that a umely word of advice and warning is given, lest our members be taken un- awares’ and fail to profit by the ex- perience of labor organizations which have weathered the storms and_ those others whose only evidence of for- mer greatness or existence are their epitaphs, folly, blunders, calamities. ‘Learn to see in another’s calamity the ills which you should avoid’ is a maxim declared more than 1,900 years ago, and it is as applicaile to our times as when it was first penned. “Whatever labor secures now or secured in the past is due to the efforts of the workers themselves in their own organizations—the trade unions on trade union lines, on trade union action. When in previous years the workers were either unorganized or poorly organized, the political trickster scarcely ever gave a second thought to the dear workingman and his interests. During the periods of fair or blossoming organization the political soothsayers attempted by cajol- ery and baiting to work their influence into labot organizations, to commit them to either one party or another. The Insidious Politician. “There are many organizations which may declare that their unions are safe from such influences, and, lulled into a fancied seeuri- ty, permit the virus of political partisan- ship to be injected into their very being; laying their unions liable to the most malig- nant diseases of division, antagonism and disruption. Bear in mind that the modern political party freebooter finds his proto- type in the one who ‘For ways that are dark and for tricks that are vain, the heathen (political) Chinee is pecyliar.’ he movement of labor now is growing stronger day by day. It is becoming more far-reaching than at any time within the history of our country. Each city, town and village now has its unions of labor. The time is coming, if we but meet the in- truder at the doors of our meeting rooms, and compel him to turn about and take his departure, when there will be few if any of our fellow toilers outside the beneficent in- fluence of organized labor. “The industrial field is littered with more cerpses of organizations destroyed by the damning influences of partisan political ac- tion than from all other causes combined. Nor must it be at all lost sight of that this does not only apply to local or national trade unions, but also to previous efforts of laber at national federation. The National Labor Union, in its time a great federation, after it committed itself to political parti- san action, went to the limbo of movements which no longer moved. After that act it acted no more. No convention of that or- ganization was ever after held. “In the light of that experience the Amer- ican Federation of Labor has always de- clared and maintained that the unions of labor are above and should be beyond the power and influence of political parties. It Was with these great object lessons still dangling before our vision, like the famous writing on the wall or like the sword of Bamocles hanging over our heads by a single thread, which severed by a failure to profit by past experience may leave us headless, and the whole body of organized labor bleeding to death, a hapless victim of our folly, serfs or slaves to the cupidity of corporate monopolistic greed, that the A. F. of L. at its last convention resolved that ‘party politics, whether they be democratic, republican, socialistic, populistic, prohibi- tion or any other, shali have no plece in the conventions of the American Federation of Labor.” “This action, while it directly decrees the course for the conventions of the A. F. of L., is also a declaration of policy and prin- ciple, and hence applies equally to all affil- iated organizations.” The Steam Fitters’ Fight. Delegate McCrink offered a series of resolutions, which were unanimously adopt- ed, declaring that hereafter, unt the boss steam and hot water fitters yield to the demands of their men for an eight-hour day, no member cf the Central Labor Union and its affiliated unions shall work in any building where those bosses have contracts, and that all firms or individuals dcing business with the bosses shall be considered unfair. In discussing the resolution several of the delegates from the steam and hot water fitters, and also of the helpers, stated that the action heretofore taken by the Central Labor Union had been of great service and benefit to them, and they were getting along very comfortably and with continued good prospects for a speedy victory. District Organizer Weber reported hav. ing organized the ‘“‘White Barbers’ Union, as stated in yesterday’s Star, and the ap- plication of the new union for a charter from the American Federation of Labor was indorsed by the Central Labor Unton. At the request of the delegates from Columbia Musical League, a committee, composed of Messrs. Rodier, Mayer and Canty, was appointed to call on Manager Kernan of the Lyceum Theater and Grand Opera Hous2 for the purpose of denying certain reports said to have been told him regarding members of Columbia Musical League, and also to try to get some of his patronage for the latter. The delegates from the engineers reported that the!r union had indorsed the labels of the Cigar Makers and Typographical Union. Organizea Labor and Real Estate. Resolutions were also adopted, on motion of a delegate from the Bricklayers’ Union, pledging the C. L. U. and all affiliated or- ganizations to refuse to rent or buy houses or real estate from any agent, dealer or owner who refuses to employ organized labor. Delegate Crowley of the Granite Cutters stated that the cutting of curbstones for the District government was being done by non-union men, and on his motion the legislative committee was requested to call cn the Commissioners and see if the work can not be secured for members of societies of organized labor. District Organizer Weber was directed to organize the firemen of the District at the earliest practicable opportunity, in order that they may become affiliated with the Central Labor Union, and through that — with the American Federation of La- or. Delegate Mayer of the Painters’ Protect- ive Union reported that the boss brewers had agreed to recognize their union, and to employ only the members of that body. He also reported that his union had in- dorsed the cigar makers’ label, and the boycott placed by the Central Labor Union on the employing steam and hot water fitters and Musical Union, No. 4308. In reference to the proposed organization of the tinners, the question of which was eferred to the Galvanized Iron and Tin Vorkers at a previous meeting, the dele- gates from the latter reported that there was objection on the part of their union to organizing the tinners as a part of their body, but none to their forming a separate organization, and, on motion, District Or- ganizer Weber was directed to proceed at once with that work. Credentials of delegates from the Cigar Makers and Galvanized Iron and Cornice ‘Workers were presented, and the delegates obligated. THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 189¢-TWELVE PAGES. LOCAL MENTION. CENTRAL LABOR UNION PROF. SITE® PLACE. HOME FROM CAPE MAY. Talk as to the Teacher Chosen to Suc- A meeting of the board of trustees of Public schools will be held this evening for /the purpose of considering the appointment of teachers and employes of the schools for the next school year. The appointment of greatest interest is that of principal of the Hastern High School, in consequence of the strong opposition that has developed to the Proposed appointment of a new principal in place of Mr. Sites, whose administration has been unsatisfactory to his immediate superiors, the director of the high schools, the superintendent of the public schools and the committee on normal and high schools. The school board has consented to hear ar- guments against the contemplated change in the head of the astern High School at its meeting this evening, but in view of the statement of the citizens’ committee, rep- resenting the interests of Mr. Sites, that they have withdrawn from further con- sideration of the case, it is possible that the Sites case may not occupy so much at- tention at the meeting as has been antici- pated. The high school committee will nominate a new principal of the Hastern High School, and the members of the board will vote upon it. A majority vote in its favor makes the appointment, while an ad- verse vote will necessitate another nomina- tion. Inasmuch, however, as the commit- tee constitutes a majority of the board, and as the committeemen are unanimous in their nomination, the chances are all in favor of its confirmation by the board. In their discussion of his case, some of the friends of Mr. Sites have declared their opinion that his removal was sought main- ly.to make a place for Mr. Percy Hughes, one of the professors at the Central High School. There is authority, however, for the statement that Mr. Hughes’ name has not been considered in connection with the Eastern High School. Although it might be an honor for Mr. Hughes to receive the appointment, it would be of no financial benefit to him, inasmuch as he receives a higher salary in his present position. Considerable curiosity is being manifested as to the personality of the gentleman se- lected as Mr. Sites’ successor, but that is a well-kept secret, and will not become known until it is announced in the regular list of nominations at tonight’s meeting of the school board. It is known, however, that the high school committee, upor: which the selection devolves, has practically confined the selection to the faculty of the Eastern High School. Rumor has further narrowed the field of possible’ appointees to Mr. Hosmer M. Johnson, professor of physics in the Eastern High School, and Mr. M. F. F. Swartzell, professor of Latin and Greek in the same school, each of whom is said to be well equipped for the principalship by education, experience, temperament and ac- quaintance with the pupils and their parents. The chances of selection are said to be in favor of Prof. Johnson. ——— A CONVENTION OF THE IRISH RACE. To Be Held in Dublin Next Septem- < ber. The Council of the National Irish Federa- tion in Ireland and the chairman of the Irish party, jointly charged with the work of calling an Irish race convention, have issued a call for a convention to meet in Dublin September 1, the object being ‘to reconstitute a united home rule party and satisfy the yearning of the Irish race all over the world for a thorough reunion of the political forces of Ireland.” Each branch of the Irish National Fed- eration of America will be entitled to elect one delegate. Delegates must be enrolled members or contritutors to the support of the home rvleé movement through the branches selecting them as delegates. Dele- gates must be elected at a special meet- ing of the branch called for that purpose, one week’s notice of meeting being given. EXCURSIONS. The annual excursion of the Hamline M. E.

The return trip will be made in good season, and there is every evidence of the boat being crowded to its utmost capacity. ‘Tomorrow the regular popular Wednesday trips to River View will be made. These trips are under the personal supervision of Capt. E. S. Randal) and his corps of as- sistants, and are among the most pleasant out of Washington during the summer.

Return of the Newspaper Excursion- iste—Making Fuist Time. The special train bearing the newspaper excursioniste who left for Cape May last Friday, as the guests of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, arrived in Washington at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. All the members of the party expressed them- selves as delighted with their three days’ outing at Cape May. Vice President Stev- enson, who was at Cape May, came home with the party. The newspaper train was one of the first to cross the new Pennsyl- vania bridge over the Delaware river at Philadelphia. On the return home remark- ably fast time was made. ‘Mr. Jesse Sarvis, who was made official timekeeper, reported that the best record between Cape May and Philadelphia was a'mile in 55 seconds: Between Philadelphia and Baltimore a record was made of a mile in 42 seconds. At Baltimore the engineer was compliment- ed on his run, and remarked that if he fell behind time between Baltimore and Wash- ington he would show what running was. The train did drop behind time by running slowly out of Baltimore, and that gave the engineer a chance. Never did a train spin as that train did, and Timekeeper Sarvis announced that one mile was made in less than 40 seconds, or at the rate of ninety miles an hour. The train came to a stop in the 6th street station exactly on time. es A Temporary Tie-Up. The 9th street electric line of the Metro- politan Railroad Company was tied up yes- terday evening for an hour and a quarter by reason of an insulator at 9th and F streets dropping out of its cup and allowing one of the conductor_rails to fall to the bot- tom of the conduit.
