OF BIG CONVENTION
(
Philadelphia, by Reason of
l -v Its History, a Fitting Place
for Assembly of Federa
tion. By GEORGE H. TTLBICH
resident. Ctntnl lMfitT tlhlon of rhlladet
t plila.
There could be no more fitting frlace for
the American Federation nf I.nhnr to hold
","ul comentloh than In thli par
rrtlcular city, because It was In this city
jt that the American Federation of Labor,
tinder thnt title, was first permanently
'F .started. It Is true that In the early 80s
thn Various craft unions were having ills-
putcs with the Knights of Labor, prin
cipally on tho question of trade auton
omy, and that they formed a loose fed
i oration known as the Federation of Or
ganized Trades and Labor Unions, but It
vraa not until after the convention of
that body In Philadelphia on May J7,
itSS, which made certain demands on tho
Knights of Labor, which demands wero
- rejected by the Richmond convention of
i the Knights of Labor, that the American
J Federation of Labor was permanently
t and colldly organized In tho shapo In
I which It now Is. Once since then tho
. city of Philadelphia has had tho pleas
f uro of entertaining n convention of tho
j. American Federation of Labor. That
was in 189?, when tho delegates, much
fewer In numbers than they now ore, as
sembled In Independent Hall.
Philadelphia Is a great Industrial cen
tre and has Initiated many great and
largo movements. The American Fcdera
Hon of Labor got Its rcnl start in this
city. It was In this city that Uriah S.
Stephens, ti tailor working at the trade,
slttlns In Falrmount Tark, talking with
his fellow workers, organized the Knights
of Labor. Although that organization,
as history has shown, was laid down on
Impractical lines. In that It sought to
mako many divergent unions and Inter
ests Join Into one single organization, still
there la no doubt that It played Its part
In tho development of the American labor
movement, and now. In Its place, stands
the more practical organization, the
American Federation of Labor, which Is
a federation of Independent trades nllve
to the development of Industry, ready to
adjust Itself to changim: and chantred
conditions nnd ready, when necessary, to
form practical Industrial groups of vail
lous trades.
Philadelphia has been a great labor cen
tre. It has hart great labor leaders. It
has had labor leaders who, though some
times mistaken In their views, have hon
estly worked for tho advancement of
labor's cause. P. J. Magulre, of the Car
penters' Union, the father of Labor Day.
which was ilrst celebrated In 1S82, had
his headquarters In this city for many
years. George Chance, the printer, tho
volunteer worker, who was largely Instru
mental in forming the international copy
right, law, which Is. at present on the
statute books, camo from this city.
This la a large city, both In population
nnd In area, and a crent many of the
delegates from the country districts may
be lost In wandering around. I, therefore,
BUggest that they make a note of various
labor centres In this city where they will
receive such help as may be applicable
to their Individual wants. Tho Building
Trades may be found at 1312 Filbert
street, within one-half block of City Hall.
The miscellaneous trades. Including the
Clgarmakers, of which I have the honor
to be the secretary, may be found nt 232
North Ninth street, where they occupy a
building formerly the homo of the Phi a
delphla Elks. The German trades may
bo found at two places, as follows, at the
Labor Lyceum. 6th and Brown streets,
which, by the way, was formerly a Jew
ish synagogue, nnd at the Southwark
Labor Lyceurrt, 12th and Tasker streets.
The metal trades are In the Parkway
Building, at Broad and Cherry Btreets.
The textlto workers are at the Light
house. Lehigh avenue and Howard street.
I wish the American Federation of
Labor a pleasant time here, and the trade
unionists of Philadelphia will do their
best to see that the delegates have a
pleasant time. I also hope that, as a re
sult of Its deliberations, the convention
will still further advance the cause of
labor under the'banner of the American
Federation of Labor.
LABOR BANK ADVOCATED
BY UNION IRONWORKERS
A. I. . Will Consider Plan to Organ
izo New Financial Institution.
Among the many resolutions to be con
sidered by the American Federation of
Lqbor, now In session here, will bo one
providing for the formation of a trade
union bank.
The resolution has been Introduced by
delegates representing the International
Association of Bridge and Structural
Tron Workers, which organization at Its
repent convention In Peoria, III., adopted
a. tentative plan for such a bank.
The Idea of the Association Is to get
every trado union In the country to de
posit Its surplus in such a banlt and any
profit which may accrue as the result of
this enterprise be used In the Interest of
the labor movement.
According to Joseph E. McClory, presi
dent of the International Association of
Xirldge and Structural Iron Workers,
many banks where the moneys of unions
are deposited loan out these funds to em
Hittyers who are antagonistic to labor,
who use these funds against the Interests
of organized labor.
Mr. UeCIory said today If a trade union
bank were established and all the unions
deposited their funds In the institution
the bank would start with a. capital of
about J15.ooo.000.
Delegates who will push the proposition
. before the convention era of the opinion
o, trade union bank would not only be an
instrument In the hands of organized
labor against unfair employers, but that
It would have p. more constructive pur
pete of making labor financially Inde
pepdtnt. It Is the belief of the sponsors
Of the Ides, that the convention will aa
f t it and that the United States will
San see a new institution, a trade union
bank.

TAYLOR INVOKBS
JOINT CONFWBNCB
Contlnneri from Page One
Is at hand when cowardly public officials
wilt not be permitted by the thinking
public to be led by blackmailers and dem
agogues Into Imposing unreasonable and
onerous terms and conditions upon cor
porations and Vested interests; they will
n6 lonjer be able to make political capital
by pursuing any auch course In nn en
lightened community.
"The people of Philadelphia will bo fair
with corporations and with capital, but
they will demand the same fairness from
corporations nnd capital In return.
"Only thoie who fall to heed this publlo
demand need fear tho Inevitable disaster
which the Ire of hn Incensed public,
focused on them from every angle, Is sure
to bring about."
LVVKSTOnS PnOTICCTED.
Director Taylor, referring td the existing
transit company In Philadelphia, assured
his nudlence thnt there was full recogni
tion of the vital Importance of giving
genuine protection to Invested capital in
this city to the extent that It shall pro
duce nn attractive return for reasonable
service.
"In the case of our local railway svs
tem n contract was entered Into In 1607
between th( city and the company," he
explnlned. "With the terms of this con
tract In force as a basis, It Is tho policy
of th Department of City Transit In
establishing tho high-speed lines under
the terms of the co-operntlvo 'program'
tfl protect the compnny to the extent of
Its annual net earnings gnlned prior to
tho opening of the munlclpalty-owried
lines, regardless of the nmaunt of capital
actually Invested In the property "
PHILADELPHIA'S PROBLEM.
In outlining the problem peculiar to
Philadelphia In transit development nnd
the general plan tlint has heon advanced
for Its solution, Director Taylor said:
"Large cities of the United States are
constantly outgrowing the cnpnclty of
existing facilities for public service.
Among those facilities which arc par
ticularly essential to a city's doVelop-
mrni nre waier mains, sewers and trans
portation lines. They may be likened to
the nrtcrl.il system of the human body.
When they become Inadequate nnd choke
tho circulation which thoy nro designed
to carry, or when they fall to expand an
the body grows and to meet Its Increas
ing requirements, the vnrloui sections In
volved must wither and the body ns a
whole must suffer.
''Philadelphia, In common with other
large cities, has outgrown her present
urbnn trnnsportntlon system nnd Is pro
ceeding to establish such additional fa
cilities ns are required to furnish ade
quate service to the people.
NEED OF ItAPID TBANSIT.
"This has always been n city of In
dividual homes spread over n compar
atively largo area. Wc are now con
fronted with tho necessity or providing
rapid transit facilities to eliminate ex
isting congestion of trnfllc nnd the ex
cessive loss of time In traveling tho In
creasingly great distances between nvall-
anie residential nreao nnd places of cm-"
ployment. Tho Inevitable nlternntlvo
would be to crowd tho futuro Increased
population Into flats nnd tenements In
the areas already built up. Such condi
tions nre beyond the pnle of consideration.
"Standing snunrcly bv the nnMnnt n.i.
vice, 'Look beroro you leap,' the city
undertook two years ago to make a prac
tical, sclentld"! nnd complete study of
what Is needed, and of ways nnd means
of accomplishment.
"The results of this study were em
bodied In the report of tho Transit Com
missioner in 1913. nnd wore crystallized
In the recommendations for the immedi
ate construction of 2C miles of high-speed
lines by the cltw to be equipped and
operated preferably by the existing com
pnny, whlrh controls practically all of
the street railways In the city.
"Negotiations were then undertaken
with the management of tho existing com
pany. VAST SCOPE OF PROJECT.
"The 'program,' resulting from the ne
gotiations between the existing company
nnd the Department of City Transit, pro
vides for the construction of certain sub
way nnd clevnted railway lines by the
city nt a cost of approximately $18,000,000
and tho equipment and operation thereof
by the company In common with Its ex
isting system as one great unit for pub
lic service. The cost of equipment will
be approximately Jll.000.000. Proper pro
vision is also mndo for futuro extension;.
"The 'program' provides for tho opera
tion of nil high-speed lines In conjunc
tion with the surface system, which will
serve without extra chargu ns the agent
for the gathering and distributing of

passengers who use the high-speed lines.
Thus the advantages bt rapid transit will
be extended as equally as practlcabls to
every front door In Philadelphia.
"Passengers will be enabled to travel In
a forward direction for one S-cent Mr
between every Important section of the
city and every other Important section of
the city, conveniently, quickly and com'
fortnbly by way of tho combined surface
and high-speed lines, regardless cf the
number of transfers required In so doing.
"llecent legislation has clothed the city
with the legal authority, financial ability
and executive machinery to construct)
and If necessary to equip and to opernte,
there facilities ns well ns surface lines.
A constitutional amendment In process of
adoption will provide many additional ad-
vnmnges m nnnncing the undertaking.
"we recognize the Importance of co
operation between the city and thd com
pany In establishing these new facilities
In a manner calculated to best servo the
public.
"Wo also recognize tho Importance of
protecting against destructive eompetl
t on cnpltal which has been invested In
tho exIMIng system.
FINANCING OF PLAN.
"The 'program' as arranged provides
that the existing company shall receive
annually out of the earnings of the mil-nlclpnlly-owncd
lines;
"1. Interest on tho company's Investment
In equipment
"2. A further payment which will sus
tain the company's normal net Income
gnlned prior to tho establishment of the
munlclpally-owned lino or lines against
decrease or ions duo to the company par
ticipating In the co-operatlvo program as
stated therein.
"It further provides for tho elimination
of tho discriminatory S-cent exchange
ticket now in use In certain sections of
the city, In a manner which has been ar
ranged between tho officials of the com
pnny nnd the department.
"This 'program' still awaits ratification
by the underlying company, which Is
called upon by the operating company to
supply annually tho amount of additional
cnpltal which may bo needed for the
normal extension of the existing system.
CITV FAVORS ENTERPRISE.
"Phlladelphlnns nro practically unani
mous In urgently demanding rapid transit
facilities and free transfers. No individ
ual or obstacle can withstand tho united
public In this matter.
"As the citizens arc determined to es
tablish adequate rapid transit facilities,
incy win no established.
"We expect the existing companies to
welcome tho adequate protection which
tho program for rapid transit develop
ment affords their stockholders ngalnAt
loss to their present net Incomo by reason
of their co-uperntlou.
"Tho use of the publlo credit In such nn
enterprise ns this Is essential and entirely
Justified.
"The city gets an almost Indispensable
modern utility.
"The pcoplo obtain wide nnd comfort
able range of movement nnd enormous
and valuable time saving.
"Tho city gets great increases In tax
able values nnd a revenue-producing
property which, with the growth of the
city, will not only becomo more than self-
supporting, but will reap out of earnings
its entire cost. '
"The city will thus ultimately own the
high-speed system at o' great Income-producing
municipal asset, with the entire
cost thereof repaid out of earnings.
SUBWAY AND ELEVATED.
"We are now designing nnd preparing to
construct the recommended subway and
elevated railway lines. That they will be
constructed and operated thcro Is no
doubt, for In tho event of failure upon the
part of the existing company to co-operato
ns pnnlded, an Independent operator can
readily be obtained to equip and operate
the munlclpally-owned high-speed lines
upon favorable terms. As a vt.ry last re
sort, the city Itself Is thoroughly compe
tent to equip and opernte the facilities
temporarily 'or permanently as a munici
pal undertaking.
"Wo do not expect tho existing company
to co-operato with the city in establishing
tha rapid transit lines In a manner which
will reduce its existing not Income. On
the contrary, we aro extending to the
existing compnny adequate protection
against any such loss In consideration oi
Its co-operation. Therefore, no loss can
come to the company by reason of the
city's action unless the company should
decline to co-operato and to accept tho
protection proffered by the city,"

Its Portentous Significance-Women m&.
in Foreground.
When President Samuel Gompets de
livered his address jesterday In reply
to the nddresses of the fralernnt dele
gates to the convention the radicals cre
astonished by Its militancy, ' the con
servatives were aroused with Its por
tentous slflntncnncc and tho entire con
enllon wns aroused with enthusiasm.
Some delegates remarked that when the
future historian of the labor movement
In America will write the chapter con
taining the life nnd work of Samuel
Oompcrs ho will cnll Mr. Qompers speech
yrstorday as tho supreme effort nnd
masterpiece of his career.
Among the women attending the con
entlon Is Miss Agnes Nestor, Interna
tional president Cf the 01oo Workers'
Union, nn organlintlon which contains
more men than women. Miss Nestor has
tho distinction of being the only woman
occupying the position of International
president In the American labor move
ment. Mrs. Raymond Bobbins, of Chicago, head
of the Woman's Trade Union League. Is
causing general admiration by tho caser
nes? nnd enthusiasm which she manifests
In her efforts to uplift tho women wage
workers of America. Mrs. Itobblns Is
tho wife of Hnymond Bobbins, recently
Progressive candlditto for United States
Senate from Illinois.
Miss lloso 8chncldcrman, of New York,
member of tho Kxecutlvo Board of tho
Woman's Trndo Union League, left to
day for New York. She will return to
the convention early next week.
Some persons who" heard John P.
Walsh, chairman of the United Stntes
rnmmlnfllnn nn Industrlnl Relations, nd-
dress the convention yesterday, wondered
whnt ho wns doiflg in the Democratic
party,
Jnmcs Duncan, vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, Is called
by some "the man of steel." His massive
build, Iron-grny hair, black suit and force
ful manner of oxptcsslon nre said to be
responsible for thnt nppclatlon. Mr. Dun
ran Is considered Mr. Gonipcrs" right
Viand man.
A statement preicntcd to the convention
by ".left" Davis, King of the Hoboes and
president of the Hoboei' Union, has set
nil tho delegntes chuckling "Somo nre
born hoboes, somo nchleve being hoboes
nnd some have hoboelsm thrust upon
them," Davis said.
Some one nt the convention has turned
poet. Placed In n, conspicuous part of
Horticultural Hall Is this plcco of prose
poetry:
"Betrayed hy some, deserted by ninny,
nnd our advance retarded by tho timid
