He will be Des Moines \from 2 to 4 p. m. September 30. He will then go to Bt. Louls, accompanied by Gov- wernor Cummins.

The former eity won because it was thought that more could be donme for fa- vorable leglslation by meeting at the na- tiomal capital than at any other place. President Lynch announced that night sessions would be held hereafter in order to complete the business of the convention this week. The fight between the American Federa- tion of Labor and the American union was brought before the convention today by a letter to President Lynch from H. L. Sholdice of the Laundry Workers' union at Denver. Sholdice wanted the printers to restrict their membership strictly to printers and not include printers who are also members | of the machinists’ union or other unions. The proposition was voted down, as was also & proposition to exclude married | women from membership in typographical unlons. p Among the letters of greeting today was one from President Gompers of the Ameri- | can Federation of Labor. A resolution was adopted thanking the Detroit Board of ®ducation for adopting | unton school books. A proposition was discussed at length that the practice by | foremen of selecting their forces from day to day, or not having any regular situa- tions, be prohibited. It was regarded as doing away with the phalanx system and was finally recommitted for reconstruction after numerous amendments. Relative to Strikes. A proposition which was made a law pro- vides that a strike or lockout may be de- clared off by a majority vote of the union involved, while a three-fourths vote is nec- essary to declare a strike or lockout. After a long discussion no change was made in the law for forem: to observe priority in giving out positions. The mat- ter was left to local unions for enforcement. ‘When it came to voting for the next meet- iog place Salt Lake City was withdrawn and the ballot resulted In the selection of ‘Washington, D. C. maon seasion the committee on laws reported back a proposition that the practice by foremen of selecting their forces from day to day be prohibited. It was adopted with an amendment that th local unions should have the minimum pum- ber of regular situations fixed In different offices. Other amendments were adopted concern- ing the bonus system and many other prac- tices. 5 The committee on laws also reported back tollowing, which was adopted: The practice m‘:.rt:r bn#w{?m“n‘fi &E £ Shdtograph engravings n ipers ‘or J offices not owned by the same firm and pubiished i, :g: same establishment {8 unlawful a 1l not be allowed.

But if Mr.Smyth | is not a candidate and the nomination is tendered to me I will accept it. But I want to be thoroughly understood in this matter—I am not a candidate for the place and will not accept the nomination so long as Mr. Smyth is a candidate.” Lee Herdman came up from Lincoln yes- terday aftermoon to attend the conference of democrats, but neither ke nor his brother Will was there. While Will was waiting { at the Burlington depot for the train on which Lee was coming to the city, a tele- gram was handed him telling of the sud- d and unexpected death of a younger | brother at the family home in Leroy, Ka { Both the Herdmans left for Leroy night.

GETTING HOME BY DAYLIGHT Belated Manawa Visttors Arrive in Omuha to Find Local Cars ¢ Stopped. The several thousand Omaha and South Omaha people who attended the sham bat- tle at Manawa, tired already with: the ex- citement of the evening, waited, huddling from the rain while cars crawled out at irregular three minute intervals for home was nevertheless iu the main & good na- tured crowd. As each car started from th station those who ‘6 unfortunate enough to be 1 hind waited for the mext with admirabl It control. The Councll Bluffs Motor company had every car at work and & service of about three minutes was ob- tained. But to bring back a crow( which bad been crowding the Bluffs cars earlier in the evenng, beginning as early 1 * o'clock and not diminishing until af< ther with those who went down ¢ Ed required much time and when In conjunction with the lowa people, was almost too much for the service. At 1:20 a, m. there remained at Manawa a crowd which packed the enclosed space of the merry-go-round platform and extended back up the road. The cond: of the cars most of them thought that the last of the people would be back across the river by 3:15. ‘The street cars in Omaha stopped run- ning at the usual hour and all that was left for the several thousand Omaha and South .Omaha people who were dumped off the Counetl Bluffs line in the down town district, was to drill home. Many of the remarks that were dropped by these belated passengers needed expurgating before pub- Hoatis Men, women and children, tired out by the long wait at Manawa and by being hustled about in the big crowd were in no humeor to walk & few miles extra and 1t the men who manage stroet car service bad been around about that time they would not have been flattered by the remarks they heard.
