THE BOYCOTT AS A WEAPON
President Gompensof the Federation of Labor, Says It May He Unfairly Used. Rights of Local Organizations Should Be BeEtricted Decision Against Union LaleU Vigorously Denounced Indiana Miners. Birmingham, Ala.. Dec 17. Much important business claimed the attention of the delegates to the American Federation ot Labor to-day. President Gompers recommended that the organization demand the passage of a law by Congress recognizing the first Monday in September as a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the Territories nnder the jurisdiction of the general government, and a resolution to that etiect was adopted. When the question of boycotts was reached. President Gompers spoke as follows: "I desire to impress upon your mind the resolution adopted at the St. Louis convention upon the report of the committee having that subject under consideration. Every local organization seems to take uDon itself the right to levy boycotts and spread them before the entire country. It seems to me that before the people should bo asked to taboo a product of any firm opportunity should be given for investigation and no boycott recognized unless approved by the convention or the executive council in the interim of tho conventions of this federation. The boycott is a very powerful weapon in the hands of the wage workers. but. if put on a hrm unfairly, promiscuously, or without investigation, likelv to react upon us and destroy the usefulness of that method to obtain our rights. Several boycotts placed upon firm by the American Federation of Labor have terminated successfully. I trust that this convention will take some action by which it will distinctly formulate decisive action in referenco to the levying and supporting of boycotts." The matter was referred to a committee. On troubles that have grown out of the adoption of a uniform label, the President said: "The last convention directed that a lahel be issued for the products of the members of the American Federation of Labor who have no label of their own. Although the label bus not been in great demand. I attribute it to tho fact that we have had very little opportunity to make its issuance generally known. In connection with the issuance of tho label it would be proper to call your attention to the fact that a decision was recently rendered by a justice of the Supreme Court of tho State of Pennsylvania which, if allowed to stand, would be one of the severest blows which could be inflicted upon the rights of organized labor. It questions our right to issue a label certifying to the character of tbo product bearing it. In fact tbo .decision of Judge Williams is that inasmuch as the wage workers do not own the product, they annot have a label certifying to the character of labor employed in its production. A moro unjust decision in the interest of the wealth-poKseesors and against the wealthproducers has seldom been rendered, even in tho darkest days of jurisprudence. Your attention is called to this decision because, if upheld, it will render nugatory all ettoits to place a label on the product of union labor. It is probably the first time that forgery and counterfeiting have been judicially nnd officially sanctioned. The officers of the ensuing term should be empowered to co-operate with the affiliated unions in order to secure such legislation as may be necessary to overcome the obstacles presented or a reversal of the decision of the court in question." The delegates from the Pacific coast brought up the question of the contacting labor elements in that region and President Gompers explained as follows, after which a special committee was appointed to adjudicate upon the matter: "When on the lecture tour in the' miners interests I reached San Francisco I placed myself in communication with the executive of the Brewery Workmen's Union of the Pacitic coast and endeavored earnestly to bring about a settlement of tho differences between them and the National Urewery Workmen's Union. The subject matter necessitated a number of visits and a large amount of correspondence. I regret very much to say that no adjustment of the trouble has been accomplished thus far. I deem this case of sufficient importance to bring it before the attention of this convention because of the resolution passed at the Detroit convention suspending the federated , tradescouncil of the Pacitic coast from tho American Federation of Labor, because it admitted to representation the Breweryworkers' Union of the Pacific coast. Since last year a convention was held of all the unions of the Pacific coast, taking in an area of from Spokane, Wash., to and inclusive of California and British Columbia. That convention practically established a federation outside of the American Federation of Labor, and I see in it, unless some arrangement is made by which the difficulties referred to shall bo adjusted, two organizations with tho same purpose in view, having local unions represented in each, and which scarcely can work ou parallel lines. Sooner or later conllicts will arise, and instead of fraternally aiding each other we may see internecine strife in the trade union movement of our country. I trust that this matter will receive your earnest consideration, and that you will take some action which may in a measure bring peace and unity with the brewery-workers' unions which are primarily in interest in this matter, and from which the wholo trade union movement will either oe benefited or injured." A resolution denouncing tho Chicago police, adopted by tho American Federation of Labor this morning, reads as follows: Whereas, Tho action of the Chicago police in breaking Into two lawful and peaceful meetings of labor people of that city on- Nov. 11 and 11', 1891, without warraut. was in violation of every principle ot right aud justice, injuring and arresting a number of the members of said meetings; therefore, be It Kcsolved, That the American Federation of Labor, in conventlou assembled, denounce such action as being dangerous not nlono to the working people, but to all classes, as It tonds to tho usurpation of the people's authority and the substitution of an authority entirely foreign to the spirit of American institutions. A telegram was received from Patrick McBride asking what the convention had doi p. toward helping the striking Indiana miners, but the committee was not ready to report in reference to the circular issued by the Nw York Central Labor Federation, denouncing President Gompers asacorruptionist in politics and with prostitution his office and the federation to corrupt deals with tho New York city Democrats, tho committee on grievances reported this: Resolved, That this federation do emphatically declare its faith in Treaident Uompers as an honest, uprlcht and earnest worker In the cuue of labor, and that It absolutely believes him to be as far above bribery, political boodloIsm or corruption as the stars aro above the mother earth, and your committee further recommends that the inoomlur president be requested to use Lis beJ't efforts toward strengthening and perfecting the organization known as the New York Federation of Labor affiliated with the American Federation of Lbor. The report was unanimously adopted by a standing vote ami 1 great enthusiasm. A resolution was adopted against the employment of non-union men on public buildiutis. The convei.tion deferred action on the proposition to take a hand in the lockout of Kuighta of Labor at Kochester, N. Y. A resolution that no politician be allowed to address the assembly was reported adversely and concurred in. A resolution was adopted protesting agujnat the failure of the government to enforce the eight-hour law. To-night the delegates are being entertained nt a banquet given by the local unions, at which the colored delegates occupy a place at tho board. This matter gave rise to some difficulty, but the colored delegates had either to be admitted or the banquet abandoned. COAL STRIKERS FIRM. President Cumineikjr Fail to Find Evidence of m htuiopede. tr e clfcl to tbe Indianapolis Jonrnsl. Tfiuik Haute, Ind., Dec. 17. President Cum me sky, of the United Mine-workers, visited the Clay county district to-day to lfcarn how well-founded was the report sent oat from Brazil, last night, indicating that a stampede of the strikers was imminsnt. He said that one miner had approached the
operators and agreed to fnrnish, beside himcelf, six men who would return to work at the old wages. Mr. Cumrnesky saystifteen men are w orkiug at slopes No. 8 and 10. aud this number includes the company's bosses and other men. The fact that ttiese miners are operating with a few men will have no bearing on the strike whatever, said Mr. Cumrnesky. "The men who have returned to work." said he, "have been weak-kneed, and tho wonder in that they have remained with us up to this date. So tar as I am able to learn, the men in the Brazil district are linn in their pnrposo to remain idlo until their demands are granted. Firemen Seek Instructions. Bpeelsl to the Indianapolis Journsl. Terrr IlAUTF,Ind.. Dec. 17. The grand ofcers of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen are receiving inquiries from members of their order on tho Southern Pacitio railway, asking if they shall quit work. The answer to all such inquiries is that while tho brotherhood believes in the justice of tho cause of the telegraphers, there is a regular mode of procedure for the firemen uuder the brotherhood laws. If the firemen should feel that they are not safe in working under orders of incompetent operators they must inn Lee that a cause of grievance to be presented to the company before they can take any step looking to a strike. Crested Ilutte Strike Ended. Crested Buttr, Dec. 17. The coal miners strike was virtually ended to-nizbt when forty Australian miners went to work loading coke on the cars. The men were protected by an armed posse of fifty men. The next step made by the operators will be an attempt to work men in the mine. A move of this kind will bo opposed by the ltaliaus, and may result in another fatal light. Glass Strike hettbd. El eeial to the In1i-inapo!li Journal. Muncif, Ind., Dec. 17. This evening. William J.

In the BarnabyGraves trial to-day Edward Bennett was recalled to the stand. He identified several letters which passed between Mrs. Barnaby and Mrs. Worrell, Mrs. Barnaby' and Dr. Graves. In one of Dr. Graves's letters to Mrs. Barnaby the former said he would collect the rent from Mrs. Barnaby's tenants and deposit it in the bank. He hoped she would soon receive a "largo payment, for he had a chance to make 510,000 for her." He was acquainted with people in the electric and miuing business nnd could get on the inside. Mr. Bennett identified all the letters, and was excused. Mrs. Bennett, his wife, was next called to tho stand. She remembered the Visit of Dr. and Mrs. Graves with Mrs. Barnaby to her home in the Adirondacks. During her vi6it Mrs. Barnaby said she left Dr. Graves S-50.C00 in her hrst wilL She thought this was too much. Mrs.' Barnaby often received letters from the Doctor. Miss Hanley attended to her correspondence. Crossexamined, she said Mrs. Barnaby frequently complained of Miss ;14oniey. She used to get up in the mortis? and dress herself. Witness remembered' Mrs. Barnaby receiving the letter in which the Doctor threatened to appoint aeuardian for her. This fretted her very mnch, and she cried for several days. Witness did hear Mrs. Barnaby complain to the Graves's, but she told the wituess that she had not complained. Sallie failed to get around in time to dress her. She could dress herself tboudh, but she could not get along very well without a maid. Miss Hanley was more attentive after the Doctor arrived there. Mrs. Hickey, of Providence, who was Mrs. Barnaby's wash-woman, , was next called. She had known Mrs. Barnaby and ber family over thirty years. Mrs. Barnaby lived in a email hoiiee by henclf and wheu her husband died 6he had told witness that her husband had left ber but $2,500 per year and she was satisfied with this. Shortly afterward she became acquainted with Dr. Graves and seemed to have been fascinated with him. Soon after this Mrs. Barnaby said that Dr. Graves had advised her to contest her husband's will and she had advised them both not to do so. Later Mrs. Barnaby told wituess she was going to follow the Doctor's advice and that he wanted her to sign a paper that Maud Barnaby was not Mr. Barnaby's child. Witness advised her to do no such a thing, and Mrs. Barnabv said trie Doctor had told her if she could not get her rights she elonld have her rev en ire. Again Mrs. Barnaby told her that if Mr. Barnubvcouid give SI 00. COO to his mistress she should have her rights. She eaid Dr. Graves told her that Mr. Barnaby had left his money to his mistress. Before becoming acquainted with Mrs. Barnaby Dr. Graves lived in a two-roomed honse, but afterward he moved into a more handsome one. Mrs. Barnaby was. very susceptible to Hatterv, and by this means Dr. Graves trained control of her nutil she would do any thinghe said. While Mrs. Barnaby was in California witness received a letter from her in which she asked witness, to watch Dr. Graves, that she had reasons to mistrust him. She answered that she would tell her all when sue came home, because she did not care to put it on paper. In January last witness asked Dr. Graves if he sent Sallie Hanley with Mrs. Barnaby to "soy" on her. "Certainly," the Doctor replied. Witness noxt saw the Doctor in April last. They had warm words about the property, and the Doctor said: "If Mrs. Barnaby asks for her property I will bring her in insane. You need not be surprised if you hear some day that Mrs. laruaby has had a shock." When Mrs. iarnaby started for Calilornia it was the ! ast time she ever saw her alive. "I wrote ior but once, telling ber that I would tell ier about Dr. Graves when she camo home, Jr. Graves told me he understood that Mrs. Barnaby was coming home to not ber money and give it to the Pennetts, and if she attempted anything of the kind he would have her rent to a crazy house or havo a guardian appointed for her." WARLIKE CARGO. The Cruiser San Francisco Loaded with Arms and Ammnnition and Ready to Sail. San Francisco. Dec. 17. The cruiser San Francisco is at Mare Island navy-yard ready to put to sea at short notice. Her storage capacity has been filled by an unusually large quantity of arms and ammunition, which gives ground for the belief that she will return to Valparaiso, and that a portion of her warlike cargo is destined for tho cruiser Charleston. It is known that Captain Hcmy. of the Charleston, has received sealed orders at Honolulu, aud it is believed these direct him to proceed southward along the Mexican coast, presumably to Acapnlco. where the Charleston could be joined by the San Francisco and a transfer of surplus sunplies and ammunition could be made from the latter cruiser. Naval officials believe both vessels will go on to Chili. The Bomb-Thrower's Remains. New Yokk. Dec. 17. The remains of the bomb-thrower, supposed to bo Henry L.

DEDICATED TO EDUCATION Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry Conveyed to tho Trustees. Magnificent Gift from the Generous Philadelphia Banker to Yeung Men and U'omea Address by Chaancey M. Depew. Philadelphia, Dec. 17. Tho cause of educational and industrial progress took a great step forward to-day in the dedication here this afternoon of the Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry. Tho institute was built and endowed by Anthony J. Drexel, head of tho great hanking firm of Drexel & Co.. and its scope and objects, as outlined by him, "is the extension and improvement of industrial education as a means of opening better and wider avenues of employment to youDg men and women." The building was erected by Drexel at a cost of JGO0.0O0, and that it may not laok the means of support in its first days, he has endowed it with a million dollars; It was a notable gathering of distinguished men that filled tho great auditorium and stage to-day when ex-Attorney general Wayne MacVeagh conveyed tho institute to the trustees on behalf of Drexel. Looking out over the hall from the stage it seemed that every man in Philadelphia who had gained wealth and eminence in the arts aud professions and the business world was seated there. Upon the stage were a number of prominent men from other cities, included among whom were Vice-president Morton, Secretary of the Interior Noble, Postmaster-general Wanamakcr, Hon. Cbanncey M. Depew, Bishop Potter of New York, Andrew Carnegie, Major-general Schotield, commander-in-chief of the United States army; United States Senator liiscock. of New York, and Attorney-general Miller. The ceremonies were opened by an invocation by Bishop Potter, who asked the blessings of heaven upon the work of the institute and upon its founder, concluding with a touching reference to Mr. Drexel's recent bereavement. The choir then sang Gounod's "Praise Ye the Father." at the conclusion of which Mr. Depew was introduced and made the dedication address. Among other thinzs, Mr. Depew said: 'Steam, electricity and inventions have hardened the conditions of competition and multiplied indefinitely the number of specialties. In the briefest time and almost without warning we are brought face to face with the problem that education and prosperity, education and livelihood, education and morals, education and law, education and liberty aro wedded together. This splendid institute leads the column and points the way. The manual-training school solves the problem of labor and industrial development. Here will be given instruction in principles of science, art and mechanics, and their application.tHero the student, after he has mastered the principles, can learn the details of his specialty and grasp the intricacies or machinery. The Drexel Institute is not for charity. It neither ofiends the proud nor encourages the pauper. The school will give the child a full mind and a healthy body. It will so equip him and open avenues for energies that inntead of dynamiting the successful he will himself be a success. It is a noblo recognition of the needs of the youth of both sexes by placing before them the weapons and armor for the battle of life and training thorn in their uses. It will nurture and instruct better and broader womanhood, braver and more intelligent manhood and more patriotic citizenship, and as years increase and graduates multiply the itepublic will be enriched m its material prosperity and receive new vigor and earnestness in its moral and intellectual life." The conclusion of Mr. DePew's address was greeted with applause, after which Mozart's anthem, "Glorious is Thy Name," was sung. Mr. Drexel had deputed ox-At-torney-general Wayne MacVeagh to present the deeds of trust to tho trustees, and as the voices of the choir died away Mr. MacVeagh stepped to the front of the platform to carry out this duty. After a reference to Mrs. Drexel'a death, Mr. MacVeagh went on to describe in glowing language the beauty of the building he was about to convey to the trustees, and enlarged upon tbe advantages of tbe students of the institution to pursue their studies with euch surroundings. After speaking of the generosity of the giver of all thesft gifts Mr. MacVeagh paid a slowing tributo to Mr. Drexel. Mr. MacVeagh concluded his address by handing the deeds conveying the building to Dr. James MacAllintcr, president of tho institute. Theceremoules were concluded with the pronouncing of the benediction by Bishop Whitaker, of Pennsylvania. The Drexel Institute is situated at Thirty-second and Chestnut street, a most central location and easy of access from all parts of the city. The building is 125 feet front on Chestnut street and 1C0 feet deep on Thirty-second street. It is built in the style of tbe classic renaissance, of bitlf brick, with a granite base. The principal entranco is on Chestnut street, which admits to a portico enriched with colored marbles and paneled oak ceiling, and this iu turn admits into the central hall of tho buildings. This hall is a most noble court, sixty-live feet square, surrounded on all sides by galleries leading from the four floor, and extends to the rooL At the end of the hall is a double marble stairway leading to th upper floors. The four floors of the building aro taken up with the library nnd ready-room, tbe mufteum, the auditori nm, lecture ball, work-shops, class-rooms., laboratory, photographic and art studios, and a gymnasium. The building is heated throughout by steam and lighted by electricity. Tbe institute will accommodate about two thousand students.

Millionaire Russell Sage is back strain at his Wall-street rendezvous as chipper as of old, and as powerful. The millionaire's nephew and his heir, Ruesell Sage, jr., lies at an np-town hotel at death's door. Trained nurses are locked in his chambers, aud physicians of the city are at his bedside. He is in a wearing fever; he is delirious, and the cause of it all is the horrible attempt upon his UDcle's life. Russell Sase. jr., is a man of fifty7 years of age. He is tall, and courtly, and gentle. He Las many friends. For years It has been well understood that he was to succeed to the fortune ' v bf the childless relative who' '.has these many years .been1 ranked a millionaire fifty times over. He figures in some corporations as a director, merely as the representative of his uncle's investments. On his own account, however. h has been connectea with ime Wall-street transactions profitablo to a marked degree. But Mr. Sage, jr., ban not been a busmen man in tbe ordinary acceptance. He has nothingof his uncle's hurry and skurry in him. A gentleman of ease, rather, he has loanged luxuriously at the clubs, or on hotel-lobby sofas, and entertained friends with stories new and piquant. A good fellow, but not depressingly pious. Such is Russell Sage, jr., and Russell Sage, who is the senior, is popnlarly credited with being pretty proud of the nephew, who always had a smile and never did any fawning. Ever since the explosion of the deadly bomb Mr. Sage, jr., has beeu intensely excitod. He naturally was one of the first persons called into his uncle's home, where that gcutteman, much worse hurt than waa admitted to tho public, was lying in nervous exhaustion. The effect was grave. The nephew suffered sympathetically. Tha shock, they said, made him nervous, but that was only half stating the fact. He took to his bed. He fell mtoa a dolinum. lie saw dynamiters on all sides; ho and his were being continually and ferociously burned. Tbe work of the boml-thrower is having a dreadful sequence. From day to day Mr. Sage, jr., has grown worse nnd worse. Visitors have not beeu admitted to his rooms. Doctors have been closely watchful over him. But late last night ' he was reported somewhat better not oat of -dancer, but relieved for a time from tbe delirium which grasped him as the etiect of. tho dynamite attack upon his uncle. ' The story related above was denied by Colonel Siocum, brother-in-law of Mr. KtissHl ago to-day. "Mr. Sage," said Col. Klocuru, "is one of the fifty nephews of Ruesell Sage, He is ill, certainly, but the recent explosion has nothing to do with hia s.cknetft. The story about his delirium and visions of dynamiters ia simply sensational." DAILY fTEATIIKK IJLLLETIX. Ixcal Forecast. For Indianapolis and Vicinity For tho twenty-four hours ending at 8 r. M..
