WILL NOT FIGHT THE JAPANESE By Clever Pnrllnmentniy Mnneuver hg the Convention Lenders Succeed lu Disposing- of a Testy Issue Without Going- on Record in i Manner That Would Offend Either Side Ticket Scalping- Serves as a Subject by Which the Socialists Are Enabled to Inject Some Doc trinal Speeches Resolution Op posed by The Tribune Is With drawn. The fifth day of the- convention of tho American Federation of Labor was marked by two of Its most Important and interesting sessions. The resolution against anti-ticket scalping legislation brought forth a lively debate, which among other things showed that there Is a very pronounced socialistic- tendency among the delegates, declarations for public ownership of public utilities being en thusiastically applauded. Chinese exclusion was unanimously favored, but the convention refused to accede to the demand of the extremists from the I'aclflc coast that "JapanesH and other Asiatics" should also be barred. Tho leaders of the Federation thought to "slide" the "Jap question," but the Pacific coast demanded action and the convention was compelled to fa co the Issue. The matter was so cleverly handled, however, that It Is an open question as to convention's sentiments on the desirability of ad mitting "Japanese and other Asiatics." As the record stands the impelling In fluence was a desire- to avoid compli cations but the sneoches modify this in a very marked degree. In a word, the Japanese question is In the air tu far as the American Federation of I.ti bur Is concerned. Tho matter of a universal label canu up In a report disfavoring the proposi tion because of the inadequacy of legal enactments to protect It. Efforts were, made to commit the federation to the universal label immediately upon the enactment of ptoteeting laws, but they proved futile. The resolution to the effect that nf employer of labor be allowed member ship In the convention against which The Tribune has so earnestly advised, was withdrawn, by Its father, with the consent of the convention. Last night the visitors were ban. quetted by the Central Labor union at St. Thomas' college hall. All the' celeb, rlties were there and It proved a very successful event from every point of. view. Favor Ticket Scalping-., Till- llcket-scalplng discussion took up a good part of the time of the morn Intf session. It was precipitated by th' favorable repeat of the- committee oil resolutions on the resolution of the lie ternatloiial Typographical union pro testing against legislation that wll make ticket scalping Illegal. This discussion was the liveliest heard so far during the convention. The socialists demanded government ownership. lialhoad men denounced the resolution and declared the sulci of railroad tickets was none of the con vent Ion's business. The resolution favoring ticket .scalp ers and denouncing the railioads for trying to stop them from selling, llnally p.tssed, but the railroad delegates pres ent asked that their opposition be no ted. Delegate Taiiquer.i, of Colorado, who Is also a state senator, opposed the te porl. "Why seel; enemies?" he asked. "This Is lioni! of our business," nelegate Lee Hart of Chicago re sponded with a sarcastic! address in which he said: "Why should we make love io tin- railroads. The- dear, gener ous railroads: they love us not." Then .Mayor Agaril, of Fall-port, HI., followed with the sensational state ment that ihe railroads and not tho hcalpers should be htanded ns cilm liinls, "I saw," said Maor Agurd, "rallio.nl employes mutilate and permit to b mutilated bodies of victims In thu re cent .Michigan wreck, no as to defeat possible) suits for damages, I also saw a riillio.nl employe' strike it reporter and fractuie his skull, to prevent him iTiiiii obtaining facts regarding the wreck." liet at the unit uf Hie tumble, and declare for goxeniuieni ownership.'' yelled W, J.
