TPeo and co-operation." rather than
Var and destruction," was the policy
adopted this morning- by the convention
' of tho American Federation of Labor, In
Horticultural Hall, after a lonjr debatw
on the policy of the federation toward
thm tb-eo railroad brotherhooda not af
filiated with tho American Federation of
labor.
A resolution, tho object of which was
to accomplish tho compulsory affiliation
of tho railroad brotherhoods with tho
American Federation of Labor at the
threat of the disruption of tho brother
hoods in event they declined affiliation,
wan responsible for tho debate.
After an attack upon tho resolution
by President Qompors and John Walker,
president of the Illinois State Federation
of Labor, on the ground it was utterly
Incompatible with the policy and spirit
of co-operation of the A. F. of L., tho
resolution was reforrod back to the Reso
lutions Commltteo for reconsideration.
tWhen tho committee reported on tho
resolution it presented a substitute recom
mendation calling upon the federation to
Invite tho brotherhoods Into the organi
zation and to prevail upon them do so by
peaceful and friendly debate and sugges-.-
tlons. This recommendation was unani
mously adopted.
8-HOUH AGITATION RENEWED.
The Shorter Work Day Commltteo re
ported favorably tho resolution favoring
a moro general agitation for the eight
hour day before beginning an agitation
for a six-hour day. The committee ad
vised, however, that wherever unions may
nee fit to start on agitation for a olx-
liour day they should be encouraged to
do so.
WOULD ORGANIZE FARMERB.
The recommendation of a cdmmltteo
to adopt the resolution favoring the en
actment of a farmers' credit bill and also
favoring organization work among farm
ers was adopted.
The following resolutions, tho adoption
of which was recommended by ho resolu
tions commltteo, were adqpted yesterday.
Condemning the factory plooo work
system and the no-called, Taylor scientific
ystem.
Condemning physical examination of
Government employes.
Favoring laws for tho protection of
longshoremen and seamen and indorsing

Favoring hd abolition of tn vagrancy

Favoring the establishment by law of a
eqmjruliary weekly rest day.
Condemning tho Rockefeller Foundation
cur being .dangerous and Inimical to the
Interests of education In this country In
that It bears the possibilities of controll
iOS and Influencing the education avenues
&ntf activities of the country.
A spirited discussion took place on the
floor ot tho convention when tho commit
tee favored the adoption of the resolution
demanding that the' rights of municipal
WployM to organize under municipal
ownership of pobllo utilities be maintain
ed and recognized by municipal authori
ties. Delegate Gallagher, of California, main
tained tho commltteo should have ex
pressed Itself In favor of municipal own
ership. To this Chairman Duncan, of tho
Committee, replied, that the American
Federation of Labor had already express
ed Itself in favor of municipal ownership
and that it "was not necessary far tho
committee to do so.
The report of the committee on the
matter was finally concurred In.
A resolution favoring the establish
ment of an Independent labor party was
defeated without debate. It la" under
stood, however, there is another resolu
tion -pending, favoring that henceforward
labor should vote only far men holding
union carus. wneuier or not this teso
lutlon will have the same- fate as the one
having or Its purpose the creation of an
Indqnenilent labor party remains to be

Club.cf which ex-Mnyor John Weaver I
president, and by the Wynnewood Civic
Association, of which James V. Blllson
la president
Alfln both the Pennsylvania nnd the
Reading main flues It Is generally ngrccd
that the increase will Injure the suburbs
which art? fnHIieit from the city The
reason for this It Is said, lies In the
fact that any general return of the com
thuters to the" city will come from tho
more distant suburbs ntid many of those
who do return may move Xo the nearby
suburbs instead of coming Into the city.
The trolley service between the city and
the licarby suburbs will also be n fac
tor In this consideration
NAnnEItTH HARD HIT.
Of tho towns along the Pennsylvania
main line, Narberth seems to be tho most
unfortunately situated with regards to
tho Increase, William T Harris, a rcnl
estate dealer there, said today that Nir
berth, unlike Its neighbors, was made
up of a "middle" class of peoplo to whom
every dollar counts
"Wo havo absolutely no way to come
back at tho railroad," ho added, "slnko
we hao no trolley connections with Phil
adelphia. On tho basis of comparative
population, the Unfile horc Is perhaps
greater than at mo other suburban sta
tion, yot we will suffer moro than others
Tho real estate business will undoubtedly
BUITcr."
Overbrook, tho nearest station to tho
city on tho Pcnnsyhnnla lines, does not
seam groatly worrlod ovor tho Incronise
At the ofllco of Wendell & Smith, who
aro Interested In land development there.
It was pointed out tho trolley connections
with tho business section of the city are
practically as convenient and almost as
speedy as the railroad Should the com
muters from tho more distant suburbs ro
turn toward tho City, It Was suggested tho
Incronso might oen be a boost to Cher
brook. ELECTRIC SYSTEM PROFITS.
At Bryn Mawr It was suggested tho cit
izens might boycott the Pennsylvania
Railroad nnd use the Philadelphia, and
Western Electric Railroad, provided tho
latter does not mako n similar Increase of
rates Tho difference In tlmo between tho
electric express cars, which run eery 20
minutes, and the local accommodation
trains running about evury half hour is
only about ten minutes ench way
R. T. Lewis, a real estato denier at
Bryn Mawr, said real estate conditions
would not bo greatly changed there.
Along tho Reading main lino com
muters expressed Indignation at tho ac
tion of the railroad In raining tho pns
songer rates. Whllo the dlsHatlsfaotlon
Is prevalent nil along the lino from Tioga
to Lansdale, as yot action In only one
place has been taken This was at Tabor.
Burgess F. D. Frlssell, of North
Wales, roundly scored tho Interstate
Commerce Commission for suggesting to
ine rauroauR mat tney raise their rates
"Tho Interstate Commerce Commission
Is responsible for this uncalled for In
crease nnd Is appointed with tho coiiBont
of the corporations," ho said. Mr. Frls
sell added tho Board of Trade of North
Wales would hold a meeting on Thurs
day night at which he oxpeotcd protest
would bo lodged with the railroad against
the abolition of the monthly tickets and
the general Increase in tho others.

WAITERS HASTEN AS THEY

NETTLED COMMUTERS
SHOW IRE WHEN DELAYED
Become Sarcastic When Shifting En
gine leaves Tracks nt Wyncote.
Increase In passenger rates by tho
railroads camo In for sarcastic comment
this morning when a shifting engine got
off tho Reading tracks this side of Wyn.
cote and held up commuters for nearly
half an hour. One man expressed tho
opinion that the railroads were raising
the price of tickets because of the poor
service.
"If It gets any worse," he suggested,
"perhaps they'll double the rates"
"But it couldn't be worse," Bald an
othor commuter.
Various schemes to circumvent the
railroads were advanced by the passen
gers. One man suggested it would be a
good idea to purchase a largo supply of
the BO and 100-trlp tickets, which are
good until UBed. The roads, he con
tended, could not refuse to accept the
uukoih. .most or me commuters objocted
to this on the ground that It would re
quire too much capital.
HIGHER FERRY FARES
Motor Bldera Called on to Pay Ad
vanced Bates.
Automoblllsta and motorcycle enthus
iasts using the Pennsylvania Railroad
ferries, starting from today, will havn to
pay the ndvanced rate. The service be
tween Camden and this city la most popu.
lnr because of tho qhortness of the ride
compared to tho Reading, but It is a
question how many of tho enthusiasts
will stand for the Increase.
Heretofore automobiles have been car
ried at a flat rate of 25 cepts regardless
of passengers. The new rates Is 25 cents,
with not more than four passengers. For
each addltlopal passenger In the ma
chine the regular fare of S cents will be
charged. The motorcyclist will be charged
5 cents Instead of'3 and another 3 cents
will be collected for an additional rider.
Ball of Gnrcona Joyous Occasion to
All Who Served.
When solemn-vlsagcd Chaplain Johnnie
Lyons, of tho Walters' Alliance, Local
No. 279, slipped on his apron and took
out a clean napkin It was tho sign that
the 14th annunl ball of the waiters waB
officially opened In Turngcmclndc Hall,
Broad and Columbia avenue, last night.
A few young waiters and waitresses
took tho floor before Johnny gave tho
signal, but that was no Blgn that tho
ball was on.
When tho roal signal was given, Jesse
Wills, president of tho waltors, and JIIbs
Nelllo Fitzgerald, president of tho wait
resses, glided onto tho floor. Miss Eliza
beth Moloney, vice president of tho wait
resses, with her partner, fallowed. Lyons
looked on with approbation and spent
the rest of tho night serving refreshments.
Ha Is an ofllcer of the union and doeB
not have to act like a waiter, but ho
Just can't Bland by nnd boo some ono else
bungle the Job.
The ball was ono of tho best and largest
held by the waiters Them un nniv r,
disappointment. Each year heretofoiro a
fat waiter from a downtown restaurant
arrived on tho scene to eat 100 oysters
and many other things for n wageo
Ho eats until he is carried to a cnb
nnd sent home. Ho did not make his
appearance last night. It Is believed that
he may havo passed -over the Divide In
one of his eating contests The fat man
was the only feature that the ball com
mittee had overlooked.

WASHINGTON-, Nov. 17.-Satlsflcd that
peace Is certain in Mexico within a short
time, the Administration today was con
sidering the best meani of aiding In tho
restoration of that shltttcred republic.
Reports that General Carranza was in
clined to recede from his piomlse to quit
are not credited here. It Is explained
that naturally Carranza Is trying his best
to drivo a bargain that will be advan
tageous to himself and his closest lieu
tenants, but that his elimination, with
that of Villa, Is certain.
Carranza has agreed to eliminate hlm
Belf from Mexican affairs under certain
conditions and Provisional President
Gutierrez has agreed to these conditions,
according to State Department advices
irom vonsui John II SlUlman today based
on Information he gleaned from Mexican
newspapers There, he said, announced
the acceptance by General Obregon and
General Gonzales of the negotiations be
tween Carranza and Gutierrez
President Wilson told callers today that
as soon as tho United States troops leave
Vera Cnu tho former officials of that
Mexican province would resume their du
ties He added that there was no reason
for alarm or any reason to believe that
anarchy would follow the departure of
mo mctitun iroops rrom Mexico
Carranza is expected to go to Havana
within a week or ten dajs Those who
know him best believe that he will be out
of Mexico before the American troops
are recalled from Vera Cruz next Mon
day. With Villa It Is different He wants
to tour the United Stater, ami nnnmi.i
ndvlces received here indicate that the
first place that he will steer for will be
