The afternoon session was kIvpii over
mainly to the consideration or the ie
port of the committee on Chinese ex
clusion. Kveryhody was itsiveil on the
desirability of oxeludinK the Chinese,
but there was a division of opinion on
the question of iuelllditlK the .Japanese
and other Asiatic races in the oper
ations of the exclusion act. The lead
ers of the federation bad concluded that
it was best to avoid complications thai
nilKht ensue I rum including .lapnnrse
and others in the exclusion act anil the
convention, in line with the policy of
the leaders, decided to let the Japanese
iiuestlon alone, at least, for the present.
A lui'ite number of delegates had come
prepared to declare, themselves on Chi
nese exclusion and as a consequence
several lengthy speeches were deliv
ered, despite the fact that no one need
ed convincing.
Committee's Report.
The report of the committee was read
by President .lames O'Connell, of the
machinists, chairman of the committee
on Chinese exclusion. It enumerated
thu reasons why the Chinese should
be excluded; recommended that Un
American Federation of Labor bend all
Its eltorts to securing the passage of
the exclusion bill which the executive
council should select as the most de
sirable measure, and that Chinese ex
clusion should be given preference of
all other matters by the federation
lobbyists, At the end of the report
was attached a paragraph recommend
ing that the Japanese and all other
Asiatic peoples be Included In the ex
clusion act.
Chairman O'Connell slated that the
reported recommendation essayed to
combine the recommendations of the
piesldent's address and the seven anti
Clilnese resolutions submitted by dele
gates. All of the committee favored

the ChhtcRo oIiuipo: the .titptinese clause
Was ravined Ity n majority, but not all
of the committee.
After the report hud been presented,
Delegate Morgans, of Portland, Ore.,
moved to tuku up separately the two
different ehiuspH nf the recommenda
tion. Thin was carried, and then Presi
dent (lumpers suggested that the ,tai
anese clause be wholly eliminated rrmn
ihe report and referred for future eon
Pjferatlon. This suggestion was put In
tluforin of a motion and carried.
The quesllon of adopting the reeoni
inendallon of the committee on the ex
clusion of the Chinese was thou put to
the house, Delegate Morgans made il
vigorous speech In support of u motion
to concur In the i onunltlee's report,
and Delegate Ftnuslth, of San ''ran-
it. S I UK ..
iin.il bjlu'i' I iiton
Mi'inlui of
ol
Aii.itmnnriii
elsco, lollowed in the same strain. Tito
latter dealt with the subject more par
ticularly than Mr. Morgans, and made
some really Interesting statement:).
The Cruise of It All.
The danger of letttlng down the bars
to the Chita so is now Immeasurably
greater than It was when the bars were
first raised, he said, China has sys
tematically discouraged over-production,
as a means of keeping all her vast
population at work. We are golni; into
China and forcing upon that country
our Industrial system, with all lis
labor-saving devlcoj. The substitution
of railways for wheelbarrows In hand
ling the tialllc from Pekln to the ...,
resulted 111 throwing millions of Chi
nese idle and this idleness begot ihe
Hoxer uprising. As the American In
dustrial system continues to spread In
China, Idleness will continue to increase.
As idleness increases, immigration is
encouraged. Let down the bats for ten
years and the Padlic coast will be
tilled with Chinese driven hither by the
operations of the American Industrial
system. The strictest exclusion act is
none loo strict to preserve the ri glon
west n" the liocktes to the Caucasian
race.
Max Hays. Ihe Socialist leader, de
clared ill favor of the action of the con
vention in eliminating the Jap.mcsp
clause from the committee's report.
Thi friends of inclusion, he said, will
encounter one of the strongest lobbies
thai ever Invaded Washington. The
textile winkers of Ihe south; ihe coal
batons of .ihe cast and middle west and
the steel mauufai Hirers', who want to
supplant the Pole and llun with cheaper
labor, are against Chinese exclusion
and will contribute to its defeat. He
cause of Ibis strong opposition, the ex
cluslonists should avoid complications,
:i in 1 content themselves with accom
plishing tlie exclusion of the Chinese.
Ill concluding ids address, Mr Hays,
its Is his wont, injected just a dash of
socialism. Speaking of the impossibil
ity of the Chinaman to lose his race
Identity and assimilate with another
people, he said: "And. moreover, It will
be a thousand years before the liln;i
muii, even in this country, could be
taught to know that the best place for
him would be in the ranks of the
Socialists." l.oud laughter and ap
plause followed.
Jnb at Socialism.
Deli'gnte Tracy provoked another
burst of laughter and applause by say
ing that he was glad to hear from the
socialists, themselves, that their scheme
of .a co-opirative commonwealth was
not possible of fulfillment for tit least a
thousand years. "You know," said Mr.
Tracy, "the socialists maintain that the
co-operative commonwealth must be a
universal Institution.''
Mr. Tracy i oinmenled on the fact
that the people of the Paelllc coast and
ihe miners of Pennsylvania were about
tlie only ones who were not lax in op
posing the "yellow peril." lie urged till
delegates to have their respective or
ganisations take ill live steps in the
antl-Cliln-se campaign.
Tlie previous qtustlou was called and
the motion to adopt the committee's
anil-Chinese recommendation received
Hie unanimous and enthusiastic vote of
the convention.
Delegate Morgans then brought up
the Japanese claim- by a motion to
bring the referred portion of the report
befoie the house lor action, lie de
clared that the Jap and all other
A.datlc peoples should l,o included in
the exi lii'ion a i.

ndvlsod ngnlnst the action contemplat
ed Hi Mr. Morgan's reiterating his sug
gestion thnl. thnt part of the report
dealing with thu exclusion of the ,lui
nnesu and other Asiatic peoples be left
for the Incoming executive council to
deal with.
Mr, Morgans would not be content
with this. He believed In meeting Ihv
Issue squarely and disposing of It fear
lessly, Delegate .tallies ttnwman, of Chicago,
declined ngaltiKt Including the .lap,
saying the .lap can be elevated.
Chairman O'Connell said for practical
reasons If no other there should be
no coinpllcatlniis to the antl-Chlnese
light such ns the adoption of an aiiti
Jnpallese resolution would engender,
Congressmen all over the country have
given pledges to favor Chinese exclu
sion. Some of litem, likely, gave these
pledges reluctantly. Complicate the
light and you give these congressmen
opportunity to relieve themselves from
their pledges. They are pledged to
fa via1 Chinese exclusion, They are mil
pledged lo favor the exclusion of Chi
nese, Japanese iitid nil other Asiatic
neo'iles.
Gompcts' Speech.
President ("lumpers took the Moor and
said "I take exactly the sumo position
'as Mr. O'Connell. Hveryone, who bus
Ii ul any experience before congress
ional committees, the congress Itself or
Ihe stale legislatures, knows Hint a
favorite way of killing a bill Is to kill
1 It with kindness. In other words when
a bill Is presented to relieve some one
particular ill, Its enemies amend It so
us lo make It a panacea I'or all the Ills
that humanity may suffer.
1 "Nothing could hurt our light for
Chinese exclusion so much at) an at
tempt to tack on lo our present demand
anything that will own lemotely Inti
mate that we have In mind the exclu
sion of other peoples. We have now to
contend against Ihe Chinese govern
ment and the pro-Chinese of this coun
try. We do not want to, also, arouse
tin' opposition of the Japanese govern
ment and the strong sentiment that has
been constantly growing In this coun
try for the last twenty-live years that
the Japanese are one of the ratnlly of
civilization.
"1 do not underestimate the undeslr
ablllty of the cheap Jap. but as com
pared with the chinaman there Is no
'Japanese peril,' We want to get rid
of the imminent danger that threatens
ns, and that is that China's hordes
shall come and overwhelm us. That
Is the Immediate danger. That Is what
we have lo deal with. The Japanese
danger docs not confiont us today.
Leave alone anything that will compli
cate our campaign against the Imme
diate danger. Lei us conllnu ourselves
to keeping Chinese out of the Pulled
Slates and every country over which
the Hag of the United States Moats."
President (tampers' speech put an
end of the "Jap" question, A motion
by J. C. Kernell, of Ihe clgarmakers. to
lay Hie "Jap" clause on the table w;,is
carried by what was practically an
unanimous vote.
Tile only other business of the after
noon session was the consideration of
tlie report of the committee on labels.
Universal Label.
The resolution for a universal label
was unfavorably reported. Hie commute-
explaining that until such lime
as I hero was a law protecting Ihe label,
il would be a useless thing. Delegate
crooke, of the Mint glass workers,
sought to commit the convention lo
tin; adoption of a universal label when
a protecting law was enacted, hut his
effort was unavailing. The report of
the committee was coneiiried In by a
vote of ss to (iti.
The resolutions endorsing the new
shop card of the journeymen barbers
and the new label or the blacksmiths
were favorably reported and adopted.
The protest of the pressmen against
the use of the International Typo
graphical union label on the conven
tion printing, instead of their own, was
refcried to the grievance committee
It had been practically agreed that
the convention should adjoin n at ::
o'clock to give over the hall to the
pit partitions for Ihe banquet. When I
o'clock arrived, a motion was made to
adjourn, in compliance with this
agreement, but to the surprise of thu lo
cal committee, it met with vigorous op
position from delegates who did not
want that it should go out to the world
that the American I-'ederation of Labor
convention would bolt in its business
for such ii tiling us a banquet.
John II. Devlne, chairman of tlie lo
cal committee of arrangements, told
the convention In very plain terms that
the local union would not relish the
Idea of the convention refusing to com
ply with their request for an early ad
journment. "It will be like throwing
cold water on all our efforts of the past
twelve mouths In preparing for this
convention, and the loss of an
this time, will not cause any
consequences to the American
hour, nt
Ft-rlmiK
I'Vili'l'il-
Hon of Labor."
Mr. Devlne was cheered and Hi
cun-
ventlon adjourned.
Had n Jolly Time.
The banquet tendered the visitors 1 y '
tile Central Labor union, at 'U,
Thomas College hall, lust night, was
Very illffeient, delightfully different, '
fioin the usual banquet, There were
no speeches. The committee had ar- '
ranged lo have all the convention cole- '
brilles make addresses. All the con- j
ventlon celebrities Were there, but
none of them weie called upon for a
Speech, President Sain (lumpers, who
was made loastmaster, was given a
list of the speakers arranged in the
order In which they were to be call' d.
President i lumpers quietly crumpled
up the committee's pi;ogrannne, slipped
it Into his waistcoat pocket and still
stlttit' "I one of his own, prepared dur
ing the early evening, after consulta
tion with some of the "good fellows"
of the convention.
As ii result, the banqiietteis wmb
given a Jollv surprise. John Mitchell,
ihe quiet, unassuming, serious young
lender of the mine workers, was called
upon to lead In a cake walk; Hon Til
lett, the fraternal delegate from Cir.at
llritaiu and one of the greatest ora
tors In the labor world, sang cosier
songs and Irish ballads; James Lav
cry, ex. slate president of tlio New
Vol Is statu branch of ihe Federailou,
gao a recitation; deorgo ll, Warner,
of the New Vorl; machinists, sang a
"coon" Mug; Itcv, Sheldon Harris, of
Dwlghl. III., ami Jerro Sullivan, u i
ilonal seerctary-licasiirer of the bar
tenders, told funny stories: Hugh
I'Vayuo, local organizer of the Kedi-ra-Hon,
gave a snug and dance, and Wil
liam Mallly, of the Volk's .eiiting. re.
cited "Lasca."
They Enjoyed It.
That the assemblage enjoyed the in
novation is putting It mildly, Whun
President Mitchell substituted the
cuke walk for his speech he culled on
tho orchestra to strike up "Tiger
Lily". Kveryhody Joined hands and
began to "step," Prank Chandler and
Hen Tlllett. the Ungllsh delegates, had
never beloro indulged In the American
uaUonul dunce and made tiorry ligurc,
despite the fact that they had Kvn
McDonald Valesh, associate editor of
the I'Vderatlonlst, and Mrs. Syiuonds,
labor editor of the Inquirer, two
Southern women, as their partners. All
hands enjoyed the rrollcsome Indul
gence so well that the cessation of the
music was followed by a full minute
of hand-clapping,
Hen Tilled proved hlmsetr the inline
entertainer or the evening, He sung
In true Chevalier style several of the
popular coster songs, In a delicious
cockney dialect; gave a regular An
drew Mack rendition or "Fullier
O't-'lynn, uiid when called upon to lead
ll "toon" song, gave "Open That Door
and Let Me In," with a negro llnvot
that would put to blush many a pro
fessional. The dinner part or the affair was all
Unit could be desired. I-'addelt Ill'os.
were tlie caterers. Music was fur
nished by Mailer's full orchestra.
At the lonelttslon of the festivities,
President (tampers expressed for the
delegates the gratlllcatlott they felt at
the warm, genuine hospitality of their
Scranton brethren, and called I'or the
song of "My Country. "Pis of Thee" us
the llliale.
"I suppose Mr. Tlllct will sing to
this nil'. '(Sod Save Ihe King,' re
marked President (lompern.
"If I do," quickly quoth Mr. Tlllett,
"I hope I'll lie " but Just In the nick
of time he remembered there were
ladles present.
