Scranton Bad Strong Opposition for the Honor of Entertaining tho Next Convention of tho American Federation of Labor Bullotlna That Have Been Issued by Super intendent Rlno Four Narrow Guage Locomotives Turned Out by the Cliff Works. Com-ff) II. Ootlitor. the Scrnnton delegate to the convention of the American Fetlerallon of Lnbor, which wns held last week In l.oulevllle, Ky Is fcellnp constclemblj- eltttort over the fact that thin city will ho the Hccne of the 1901 convention, mill, Indeed, It van largely line to Ills efforts thut tho honor was Krnnteit u. llr. Gothler was peon yeiteidny by a Tribune mnn, and oxiirenseil hlmsplf tx fnllowHitibout the feeling of the convention towards this city: "The trcneral scnllmcnt of the convention v.ns entirely In favor of tlila rlty, as the place of the next convention. AVo wore fur from unopposed, as Milwau kee, Washington, 13. C. Columbus, O., Atlatitn, Richmond, NLigain and To lonto wciv all In tho Hold, hot after the coming gntheilng. AVIIUeB-Bnrre. too. put In ti clnliu, but the Luzernlfi wcio never consldeted as ut all ilntt geious In the race. The Hon.TJanicl G. ISceeo was their delegate. From the beginning of the convention, President John Mitchell, ot the United Mine Workers' asso ciation, was with us, and had he not proved tho powcrlul ft lend ho did, I doubt If Scianton would have icomo out on top. "The miners, who had the largest delegation present, vci of ciours?, mild for us, and alongside or them wore the clgarmakers, printers, brew cry workers and longshoremen. Prac tically our bitterest antagonists wore the carpenters. Thlr ipprcsentathos fought us tooth and nail, and spread lepurts that theie were no balls In this city largo enough for a conven tion of the size of the Federation's. They also declaied that tho hotel fa cilities of the city were poor. "The Milwaukee delegates put up a. good fight. They scattered broadcast pamphlets and booklets containing glowing eulogies of their city, and vetting forth its advantages. We won out though, 2.200 votes to 1,?00, fhe mlueis alone conti oiling 1,000. "This convention will bring to Scranton next December, nbout three hundred men, who will represent about three million working people. This Is the second attempt we have made to secure tho convention for the city, Delegate C. W. Baxter making a strong try for it last year." Superintendent's Bulletins. Supeiintendent Klne, of the Lacka wanna, has posted bulletins announc ing that today three signals will be put into service in the Cayuga yard. The west-bound signal is located near the water tank, and the east-bound home signal is located at the west end of the fill, wet of Cayuga yaid, and the distant .signal at the point of curve about 1,200 feet west ol the home signal. llailroadois are instiucted to see the new automatic block and Inter locking1 signal rules, effective Dec. 16, governing tbeso signals. Yesterday two signals were put into service at Susquehanna bridge at Pittston. They are located at the fouling point at each end of the gauntlet truck. Knst-bound tinlns approaching within one-quarter mile of tho cabt-bound signal will set tho west-bound signal, and hold it red until tho train has passed oft! the gauntlet. West-bound trains will set the east-bound signal on passing tho west bound signal and hold it set until tho train has passed ott the gauntlet. This will give the cast-bound trains the right ot way. llnginemen should keep clear of track i'ii cult when possible, so as not to t-top oppoMng. trains. At the Cliff Works. Four narrow guage locomotives have been turned out of the Dickson Manufacturing company's locomotive shops, on Cliff street, and shipped to Pittsburg. They are the first com pleted of the big order of twenty, three recently lodged with the com pany by a Smoky City concern. Another of the freight engines be ing built for tho Delaware and Ilud Min Railroad company was yestoiday turned out and the last ot the order will follow tomorrow. The last order given by the Delawaie cud Hudson consisted of ten engines and very rap Id work has been done on them by tho Dickson rompnay. Gompers Still Leads. The re-election of Samuel Gompers n.s president of tho Ameiican Federa tion of Lnbor is only another proof of the hold that this vuteian guiding sphit of the Federation has upon the members of thu organization. Many wild rumors weie atlo'it prior to tho session, that Feciotnry and TiPiihurer P. d. McGuIro, ot the Car penters,; President Mitchell, of the United Mino Worker., and others, would ho lu the Held for the presi dency, but when tho tlmo for election canto, Mitchell, the only formidable candidate, declaied thut ho would not urn, and the end of tho convention again found Gniupuis lu tho pieal dent's chair, u Today's D., L. & W.

Men at Oxford Quit, The employes of the Oxfotd colliery, operated by the People's Coal company, quit woik yesterday, owlnff to a dis agreement relative to the scale of wuges paid, and In consequence opera tions have been suspended. The men and boys were paid on Monday and they claim the ten per cent. Increase on the scale paid prior to the strike was not paid them as piomlscd, hence their refusal to work. A meetlnir was held In St. David's hull yesterdny afternoon and a com mittee appointed to wait on the oper ators with a view of adjustlnc the trouble, and thoy w 111 confer with them today and report back to a meeting of tho employes this evehlng.
