Delegate Driscoll got rid of the legis- lative proposition by having it referred back to the committee on resolutions. President Gompers named as a com- mittee to confer with the Typographical Union con¢erning an eight-hour day: Resin Orr, Willlam J. Penje, Lee M. Hart, H. J. Wendelken, Thomas Mul- lahey, Richard Braunschweig, Harry D. Thomas, A. D. Porter, J. J. McDade, M. J. Sullivan, Henry Bablitz, C. E. Schmidt, D. B. Heron, P. J. Donnelly and J. J. Glass. This cleared up about all the business connected directly with the routine of the convention and there were to come the two special orders. The first brought to the front of the stage as speakers: William Abraham, M. P. James Wignall and John A. Flett. The first two are the British delegates to the convention. Flett represents Cana- da. These three occupied the stage un- til the noon recess. The convention conferred on each a federation badge and gold watch, and Mrs. Wignall received a gold pin. The watch pre- sentation was made by Vice President O’Connell. The three delegates from abroad proved to be speakers, The two Englishmen are broad of girth and florid of complexion. The Canadian delegate is less stout and less buoyant in manner. The chief interest natur- ally attached to the remarks of Abra- ham, popularly known as “Mabon.” He has been a member of the British Par- llament nineteen years. Wignall was first introduced. He has a voice that could be heard above a gale at sea. His manner and matter caught the fancy of the delegates and he was cheered long and loudly. Abraham came second and he had sing that they could not by any | nderstanding | even mare { applause than Wignall. He spoke wlthf great deliberation and in measured tones.
