President Gompers Calls Attent on s to Several Questions. . DeTRoim, Mich., Dec. 8.—Eighty_delegates of the American federation of labok were as- sembled this morning when President Gom- pers called the convention to order. President Gompers mado his annual address, In his address President Gompers says: We mect today again 1n annual couclave as the representatives of tho bona fide labor or- gunizations—the trade unions of this conti- nent. We have the opposition of iuterested uutagonists who recognize in the success of our movement a diminution in their rates of Frofls or interest, & curb o their avarice and and social ten- nion movement “too slow,” *too ire to hurl it head- politi the trade regard it as entircly conservative, and de long into a path which, while struggling and boping for theend, will leave us stranded und losing the practical and beneficinl resuits of our efforts, In the sof that fore- most of economic and social thinkers, ira St he way out of the wage system s, resultant only from seking upon this line it ppose any sehool of problem, but to ca iposed upon us is i dencies of snorter hours 15 TOU necessary thought upon the out the solewn duties peratiy At several of our prev called attent as far as possib and to con such us we course i most t success past ye ns conventions T hie necessity of avoiding Il controversial questions, rate our whole efforts upon most agreed. That such caleulated to achiove the for the working people has been aemonstrated by Dor movement. When the last convention adjourned and the dele- gates roturned to their respective hones, the \t movement outlined had to be put’ into sution. 1 cailed the executiv together several times for consultution and after great deliberation, selected the United Brotherhood and Joiners of America fo make the first demand. The organization in question responded with alarity to the executive council’s decision, and of its own accord put a number of lecturers in the field. The call for the assessments were ordered, and the entire machinery of the organizations put into motion to s > the best possi- le results, Everything was in _read- iness for the = movement to begin, and required but the courage and the manhood to bring ultimate victory. Of the immediate resulis of the movement Ipreferto quote Secretary P.J. McGuire's official report to the converition of the Broth erhood of Carpenters, held 1 Chicago lnst August. Among other things he WA summary of the situation stows that the trade movement for shorter hours among the ci this season has been successful in 3 and it has benefitted 46,197 work- men in that trade, and countless’ others in every branch of the building trades have also beer the gaivers.” Notonly among the car- penters and the building trades, but in al- most every trade and calling the movement was taken up and fought to a successful ter- mination. From statistical blanks past two months to the t that there are few trades or callings through- out the whole country that have not obtained a reduction in the hours of their labor, or an inerease in_ their wages. In some, where formerly ithad been held that the enforce- ment of the cight-hour rule was entively in compatible with tho interests of theindustey | notably among the iron and steel workers; and on issued within the ades unions, I learn a few of the larges ns have made a test of the th tem with entire 088, isno question but that tho near fu- ture 13 bright for the eight-hour movement, if the organized wage workers will but con- centrate their efforts upon its achievement, "The past year has witnessed the expansion among and the greater recognition on the part of the wage-wovkers of America, that the trade unjion form of organization is the best to protect and advance their interests.

The strikes were generally for a reduction in the hours of labor and increase of wages, or the maintenance of the rights of the workers, All report an increase of wages from 7 to 25 per cent, except one, the silk-workers, who report lesser earnings, owing to duliness of trade. The increase in wages and improved condi- tions were shared in proportionately by those who were not members of the orgsnization. 1 desire to impress upon the minds of the working people the absolute necessity that they should keep in view that it is not blus- t«{r nor ostentation that will win victories for them, Such organizations of labor may at times win victories from their employers, but th ave generally of a trapsitory character. We must not only be right, but possess the power to enforce that right. The president recommends the project of ernational labor congr in 1843 to be coincident with the world’s fair; demands the enforcement of the cight hour law in government work; asks for a suitable federal contract labor law and suggests the ex- tended observauce of labor day usan annual holiday. 2 Of all the ills that mankind suffers from, the unjust and cruel tendencies of modorn miethods of wealth-producing, the one that seems to me to rise to horvible proportions is that of child labor, The hope of a_pérpetuity of free institu- tions is endangered when the rising genera- tion is robbed of the opportunity to enjoy the healthful recreations of the pliy grounds or the mental iinprevements of the school house, The bureau of labor statistics of the gen- eral government and the several states should devote more of their investigations to the in- fluence of the labor organizations upon the moral and material welfare of the wage- workers in - particular, and the whole com- munity in general, In several states a reform in the method of voting, by which the citizen protected from scrutiny and open coercion in casting his vote, has been cnacted into law, T trust that we will not rolax our encrgies to extend its beneficent effects until all the states in the union are brought into line upon this question, In speaking © pon this subject it will be well to bear ir. mind that notwithstanding all the safegue: ds that human ingenuity can de- vise for a seeret baliot, potitical intimidation and freedom of action can onl, ult from economic independens Recently the movement among the cor- porate aud employing classes to combine has taken more rapid strides thuu ever before. We frequently hear of the formation of ations among them with the avowed purpose of antagonizng aud thwarting the efforts of the working people. This move- ment has not only been going on in any one country, but the offorts have been directed to give it un intornational character. Many an expression have I heard of fear of such a growing power, and it becomes my duty to call attention to the fact that, as wage-worker we have nothing to fear from such combinations, providing we have the intelligence, the energy and the courage to meet the combinations of our em- ployers with the organizations of labor, There is no greater power to deal with the exactions or to curb the tendency to injustice of corporatious than the well diseiplined and and army of orgnized labor, epresentatives of the organized our country, let us lay aside all ¥ and arise to the dignity and loftiness of th t problem and cause that confronts us, anl work out the emanci- pation of labor from the thraldom that cun. ping and chicauery have enmeshed us, el el An Advance of Rates.

S.—Jones of Arkansas offered a resolution vhich went over till tomorrow, calling on the attorney geactal for information as to the supervisors of clection appointed for the First «nd Second congross- 1onal districts of Arkansas for the congres fonal election November 4 last. A resolu- tion was offered, rtefegred tho committee an agriculture, calling of the sccretary of in the investigation for irrigation purpose, Mr, Dawes read a letter written by Lee, the census Indian agent from the Pine Ridge Agency tothe interior department going to show there is no lack of food among tue Sioux. He said he read this to show the In- diuns are not on the War path on account of want of supplies. Vorhees set up against this testimony that of General Miles, The discussion was continued ona joint resolu- tion appropriating $5,000 for the investiga- tion of the outbreak. Tt was finally referred to the committee on Indian affairs, A resolution calling on the secretary of the treasury for a statement of moneys paid Davenport, chief supervisor of elections, each year since 1871, eté., was agreed to. Mr. Hoar moved to proceed to the con- sideration of the elections bill, but on the suggestion that Mr. Gray was temporarily absent, withdrew the “motion and asked unanimous consent to have a time fixed (F'ri- day next) for taking a final vote on the bill, M ay in the meanwhile came in, and the bill was taken up. Mr. Gray yielded to Mr. Gorman, who argued ugainst the proposi- tion to set a time for taking a vote, He re- called the statement of Mr. Hoar at the last session, that if the elections bill was not then taken up and disposed of there would not be time to do 80 in the short session. It has been the firm conviction onihe democraticside that after what nad occurred at the last elec- tions, the senator from Massachusetts would not press the bill, so the sepators from his side had not prepavel themstlves to discuss it intelligently, t Mr. Gorman continued: 1*We stand today on a voleano. We have heard the discussion as to starving Indians, buttake no note of the fact that the furmers of the land are meeting and resolving, There is danger and trouble if not starvation among them. The faces of bankers and merchants. are blanched with fear. No man can tell whether, tomorrow or the next day, every bank in the great centers of commerce will 1ot bo closed by suspension of payment, and now in the midst of such a state of affairs we, who come here flushed with victory, bad hope that the majority of the party would give us an. opportunity to join with it in preventing the wreck, . which is now impending. Lay aside this bill, which the country has pronounced against, and let us take up matters which all classes of our fellow-vitizens ave looking to us to consider. It you do not, if yo&whlslln the course marked out by the senasor of Massachusetts, the responsibility must srest with. i?a party in power.

Mr. Hoar replied that for four days the senate hud been listening to democratic speeches, made for meére deluy and obstrue- tion. 1 'the senator from Margland had an- other measure which he thought would allay the panic or menace to the commereial pros- perity of the country, which had begun when elections were deciared in favor of the demo- cratic party—the country having been before that in a position of unexampled prosperity— why should he not, aftér a fairand proper statement of the reasons for voting against the election bill, let the senate vote upon it? The election bill was a measure whose sole purpose was to submit to the judges of the courts of the United States, against whose integrity _ and official honor no man _could bring a charge, the question of who had, prima facle, a title to a seat in the house of 'Tepresentatives instead of having it declared by rufiianism, fraud or violence, as so often had. been the case in the past. Mr, Gray spoke briefly in line with Mr. Gorman’s remarks and then concluded his argument against the bill. Mr. Barry obtained the floor, and after a brief exccutive session the senate adjourned. House, W AsmiNGTON, Dec. 8.—~Mr, Taylor, from the committee on judiciary, reported back the Enloe resolution for the arrest of George Minot, doorkeeper, for attempting violently to prevent Enloe’s exit from the house during the call of the house in Augustlast. The committee reports the case calls for no action on the part of the housa and under the rule was laid upon the table without objection. Mr. McKinley reported from the ways and means committee and the house had p the oill providing for a rebate on toba stock equal to the reduction made in the in- ternal revenue tax by the last tarift bill. Mc- Kinley mercly stated the bill was similar to the provision of the tarift bill, section 30, which had been omitted in envolling that measure, and_on a_declaration by Mills of Texas that it was “all right” no opposition was made to its pissage.

House—Con- Wasmixarox Bureauv ] Dt Bew, l 518 FOURTEENTH STREST, WasiiNetox, D, C., Doe.' 8, | Quite an exciting colloquoy took place to- day between Senators Paddock and Voor- hees gf Tndiana, the subject beini the Indian question. In reply to Senator Voor ro- peated assertions that tne Sioux were stary ing, Senator Paddock insisted that neither the reports of the newspapers vor the army officers on the ground showed that the In- dians were sufforing 1 hung He stated that the reports of the chiefs and head men, as presented to General Brooke, did not indi- cato that the Indians were stacving, aod asked, if it were true that the cause of this trouble was insufficient rations, why the In- cians, in presenting their grievances, would not have presented that one flest? Senator Voorhees replied in great heat that Senator Paddock had better send for Governor Foster of Ohio. To which Senator Paddock replied that Governor Foster had not seca the coun- try of the Sioux for two years, and did uot speak with the confideace of intimate knowl- edge of the situation. As to the army witness to which Senator Voorhees alluded Senator Paddock said that some of them were a little too willing as witnesses; that he aid not pick up a newspaper any movning or evening but it contained one or two sensa- tional interview and one from a distin- guished military chieftain, It scemed to huve come to this That whenever one or more of these distinguished gentlemen, charged with the responsibility of this maiter, stop over at any city, village, hamlet or crossroads in their travels they hunt up at once an inter- viewer. A great many foolish things, said the senator, have been said, and a great many absurd exaggorations have been made in con- nection with this whole Indian business from the beginning of the unfortunate occurrence, by many different people, in the cast as well as in the west, Mr. Voorhees re- torted that if the senator was sut- istlied with that attack on General Miles, he thought General Miles could stand it and t he did not think General Miles’ reputation would be impairca because the newspapers have inter A bim. At this point Mr. Voorhees got provoked and would permit no further interruption to his re- marks, Later in the day Senator Voorhees arose and expressed his regret at not yielding to Senator Paddock when he asked for the floor, andgtendered an apology to him for not doing sodbd was guilty of “an act of discourtesy and regretted that he seemed to be so at the time. After accepting the assurances of Senator Voorhees, Senator Paddock wencon to suy that with reference to the theory of the hunger of the Indiaus, it was well known on tho frontier thathe was always hungry until he was filled to repletion, and that he did not agree with the statements that the Indiuns on the Sioux reservation huve been hungry unless it was the improvident class who gamble away their rations nnmcdlmelf' after rccel{:t. It was this class which is al- ways dissatisfled, and this is the onl, that has made the trouble to disturb tl TO CONSIDER PUBLIO BUILDINGS. The senate committee on public lands today reported favorably Mr. Mitchell's bill pro- viding that hereafter when any person en- titled to a homestead entry, 160 acres, and for such purpose locates on eighty acres of surveyed land under existing law he shall be at liberty and shall have the right to extend the boundaries of his claim over any unsur- veyed lands adjacent to the extent of sixty acres additional and when such lands are in- cluded within governwment surveys, the boundaries of his claim shall be adju accordance with go nment lines. The bill was amended so as to include pre-emptions also. The house committee on rules tod determined to begin consideration tomorro: of the public building bills which have been adopted in @ committee of the whole of tne house and reportea to the house.
