previous meeting were read and ap
proved. Credentials were received
from the Bakery Workers for Broth
ers J. W. Butler, T. J. Davis and A.
T. Patterson, and from the Musicians

Various committees reported as us
ual, the main point for a Westerntao
ual, the main point of interest being
the reporting of a charter being air
mailed for a Western Union employes’
'local. After getting the firemen into
1 the A. F. of L. unanimously, this lo
cal should be a fitting follow-up to
prove the conservatism of the A. F.
of L., especially after such a short
time has elapsed. Roll call of dele
gates was dispensed on motion duly
passed because of the expressed desire
of many of the attending delegates to
listen to President Roosevelt’s address
to the Teamsters Convention in Wash
ington at 9:30.

there is a Central Labor Union, and,
not in others. Motion passed instruct
ing the organisation committee to at
tempt to form a News Writers' organ
isation. An editorial about the Mu
sicians Union in the News of this day
was read, and among other misrepre
sentations, it was brought out that
one of the articles mentioned in such
terms as having no need for a card,
was the president of an A. 7. of L.
unoin, the AGMA. He evidently saw
more need for a union card than the
News editorial writer.

His Wallet Lost in Kma,
Owner Risks Life in Vain
NEW ORLEANS.—John Nedwick
took a double risk when he jumped
into the Mississippi river after his
wallet.
First, he took the risk of drown
ing, but he didn’t consider that im
portant when he jumped in. Sec
ond, he took the risk of being an
unidentified body if he didn’t save
those papers.
Nedwick had accumulated the pa
pers in his wallet for 22 years, and
he wasn’t going to let them get away
without a try for .them. He wasn’t
a good swimmer, but he bucked the
strong current and the undertow,
anyway.
Three hours later a fishwife heard
Nedwick’s feeble calls. A sheriff’s
boat pushed out into the stream and
gathered him in as he clung leech
like to the post.
He still didn’t have the papers.

“Excuse me, please," said Ser
geant Mesch.

JUST TOO LOW

ing too low.”

A. F. L. President
Talks For Roosevelt
At Rogersville
ROGERSVILLE, Tenn., Sept 10.—
President William Green, of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, urged la
bor unions to “help return President
Roosevelt to the White House” in an
address last night before the conven

tarian measures, such as the Social

cause of his “beneficial labor policies.”
