IIS WELCOME TO THE CITY Twenty-eighth Annual Convention of S. F. of L. Opened at the Coliseum with Warm Greetings. (Continued from Page One.) pot In your heart for Richmond. I hope that you -will see fit to hold your state meeting here again." Charles Jordan Speaks. Charles Jordan, secretary of the Commercial club, said: "I am honored to have the privilege of appearing be'fore you and of welcoming you to I Richmond. Richmond is proud that! tshe has you here. Richmond is proud lot any organization that has for its purpose the uplifting of humanity, and your organization belongs to this class. "There are no labor troubles here, j first, because of the high character of the laborers themselves, and then, be- , cause the employers are men of sterling worth. We do not care how big your bank account is, we welcome you because you are good men. As a representative of the Commercial club, I (tell you that its object is to promote the welfare of the whole community. "Your representative, Mr. DeMlller, said he has nowhere found auch ideal (labor conditions as here. He said to i me, 'The men from the office shake ! hands with the men of the shop.' "Some people believe that the state federation meets to plot against the welfare of Bociety. The local Commercial club doeB not share this opinion. It knows better. Our Work is Often misunderstood, but we are striving as you are to make conditions bet- : ter. "The man with the soiled hands and ; greasy face is a good man, because he : can wash off the dirt, but the man with a soiled heart is an undesirable I citizen because only the blood of the Lamb can wash him clean. If a man I has amassed wealth and ground up , men huu wimieu iu nu uuiiik, ue so , worthless. "We welcome you, because you are a , great agency to uplift men." Mr. Jor;dan then pleaded with the federation to pass a resolution favoring the establishment of a state penal farm where prisoners laying out short fines may be put to work. Pres. Stein's Welcome. Ed. Stein, president of the Central Labor Union, then extended a welcome on behalf of the union and of organized labor in Richmond. He said : "When you accepted the invitation to come here, you did not know that you would have a hall wherein to meet, jbut you took the word of the Richmond delegates and accepted our invitation. We have made arrangements to entertain you here without interfer- ! mg with your business affairs. I wish ito thank the Commercial club, its secretary, Mr. Jordan, the business men ; and the newspapers for assisting us. !we want you to go home feeling that ; uniol labor here has entertained you as best it could." Response of Perkins. President Perkins responded in a , gracious reply. He said: "I extend the heartiest appreciation of the federation for the many kind words spoken this morning and believe ' that we made no mistake in holding . 1 .1 V T ...111 .3 - U i Lie cuuicuiiuu ucic. 11 win uu i lie ; friends in Richmond good to have us .:iv . I- t V. - 1 ! . 111 1 I-1 wiiu uieui. i ueiieve we win ua uuie to convince some people here that may I have had false conceptions of our i work that their ideas were incorrect. I I believe that the analysis given by Mr. j Jordan of the purpose of the trade I movement is correct. "Back of all movements must stand the character of the individual. Our j movement is founded on character, i Without character we cannot go far. ilt is founded on that cornerstone and ' we will advance no further than character develops in the individual." Address by Walsh. John J. Walsh, state factory inspector, spoke before the convention this .afternoon. After outlining the scope of the work done by his department, jMr. Walsh advocated adding a first class architect to the department. "My idea is to add to the Inspection Department a first class architect, one who would be capable of designing and superintending the erection of any building in the state, and could have charge of the construction of all state buildings. He would also be in a position to render an unbiased ( report on all buildings in the state ithat are any way dangerous," Mr. Walsh said: "When this architect is appointed, ,he and the secretary of the State ; Board of Health or a sanitary engineer and the head of the State Bureau of Inspection would constitute a Board, land immediately upon the organization of this board, every person in the state of Indiana engaged In any work (intended for the protection of health, jlife or limb, whether city building in(Spector, fire chief insofar as his work (includes the safety of buildings, elefvator Inspectors, electrical inspectors, land health inspectors shall immediately be lifted out of the pall of politics, and be placed absolutely on their -merits, where honesty and efficiency alone will count, the board to be absolutely non-partisc;, and In the future any Inspectors that are appointed shall first pass a competative examination before this board as to his qualifications for the line of work they are to be engaged in, and all inspectors must receive the Indorsement of the board before being appointed, and all appointments must be made so as to keep all departments non-partisan. The result would be that every Inspector

would be qualified and would honestly perform his duty or be removed." Would Be Independent. "Then . instead of a State Inspector going into a city and spending six weeks or two months doing the work that others are paid to do, but refrain from doing for fear of being removed through the influence of some politician, he would report to the board the condition of the buildings of that particular city, and if they were bad, the board would remove the negligent or incompetent inspector. Then the inspectors of the State Bureau of Inspection would be in a position to spend the greatest portion of their time in the factories, safeguarding machinery, and they would be able to spend more time in the smaller towns that have none of the inspectors above mentioned. "I would favor the passage of a resolution by the State Federation of Labor wherein they propose to present a letter to each candidate for the coming legislature, asking him to answer the following questions:

"Will you favor the passage of laws as follows: "First, For the creation of a board of three members to have control over every inspector of any kind in the state, the board to be non-partisan. "Second, Creation of a Woman's Department, and adding the inspectors I have referred to. "Third, That he will not permit the employers liability bill, or the bill protecting men in dangerous occupations, to be amended in any way. "Fourth Provide for a law which will prohibit any woman in the state working more than nine hours in one day." Reject One Delegate. Credentials committee reported 215 delegates entitled to seats in convention. The committee rejected the credentials of F. W. Schwanz, representing Local No. 811, International Association of Steam, Hot Water and Power Pipe FitterB and Helpers of Fort Wayne, Indiana. The action of the committee wag pursuant to a decision of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, which now recognizes only the United Association of Plumbers, Gas Fitters, Steam Fitters and Steam Fitter Helpers of the United States and Canada.

LOCAL CHAUTAUQUA WILL BE EXTENDED Will Be Held for 15 Days Next Year. Reduction in Profits This Year.

Last evening at a meeting of the board of directors of the Richmond Chautauqua it was decided to give a fifteen day program at the Chautauqua next year. The price of season tickets will be the same as heretofore, $1.50 for the entire time to subscribers and guarantors. The dates of the 1913 Chautauqua are from August 17th to August 31st, inclusive. The grounds will be open to campers Saturday, August 16th. This change from a ten to a fifteen day program is a step which many chautauquas over the country have al ready taken successfully, and judging frcm the desire for this change expressed by many of the local patrons, during the last session, there is no doubt but that the plan will meet with favor here. Charles V. Jordan, F. F. Riggs, E. K. Shera, R. B. Jones and Prof. E. P. Trueblood were appointed the program committee for next year. They will commence booking talent at once. The following is a summary of the secretary's report of the 1912 Chautauqua, read at last night's meeting: Receipts Balance from 1911 $ 25.65 Season Tickets 2,183.85 Single Admissions 2,866.25 Miscellaneous receipts (from campers, etc.) 1,687.93 Total $7,003.65 Disbursements Talent $3,109.44 Advertising 479.25 General Expense 2,602.82 Y. M. C. A.-share of proceeds 200.00 City Park Fund share of proceeds 200.00 Balance on hand 412.17 $7,003.68 From this it will be seen that the net proceeds this year are $546.52 as against last year's $1,500.00. That is about $950.00 short of last year. The gate receipts this year were about $750.00 less than lafit year and the talent this year cost about $200.00 more than last year. These two items alone account for the drop in the profits. The proceeds this year are up to the average; last year was phenomenal, due to the appearance of both Bryan and Cook. HOSPITAL "TAG DAY' A year has quickly rolled around, and the Ladies Aid society of Reid Memorial hospital will again ask the good people of Richmond and vicinity to help them carry forward the work which they have undertaken; the province of this society is to supplement the work of the trustees, and to bring necessary aid and some beauty into the service rendered every patient who enters the hospital, as well as to add to the well-being of the nurses. The ladies of this society have met and canned fruit and made jelly, beside distributing cans and glasses through the community for the housewives of Richmond to fill; they have had regular monthly meetings as well, and have done all the necessary sewing to keep up the supply of bedding, towels and surgeons' gowns, as well as of linens for the dining tables and for the trays. That this magnificent institution is appreciated by the community, ninety-nine per cent of the patients who have had its care, are its warmest friends and supporters. To the ladies of the city we would say, "Don't stand on the outside and criticize the workings of the institution, come into the Ladies' Aid society, get to know intimately what these hundred or so women are doing, find out how the hospital Is managed, and get first hand answers to any questions you may want to ask. Saturday is tag day; be as liberal as you dare; the money Is urgently needed, and every dollar will be spent carefully and where it will do the most good. Mrs. E. G. Hill, President. CANNOT FIX BLAME FOR A BARN FIRE Fire Chief Miller, after making an investigation of the causes of tho fire which yesterday afternoon de stroyed considerable property on South Ninth street, stated this morning he was unable to place the responsibility. The flames started in the C. W. Kramer barn. Smoke was noticed issuing from this barn first, and Mrs. Charles Miller, living next door, stated she smelled burning wood two hours before the fire. The damage was all covered by insurance. It is divided as follows: to the Kramer barn, $600; to the Miller barn $100, to the Bolander shed $50, and to another shed $25. The Richmond telephone company was damaged to the extent of $150 by the fire which burned through a big lead cable running over the barns. NOTICE!

HOLIDAY DF NEGROES "Emancipation Day" Observed Here Yesterday.

Emancipation Day was duly observed in this city yesterday as in other negro churches throughout the country. Yesterday was the fiftieth anniversary of President Lincoln's preliminary proclamation, giving warning of the emancipation edict of January 1, 1S63. The proclamation was issued just after the battle of Antietem and declared that on January 1, following, all slaes "then in states of rebellion against the United States should become forever free. INSPECTED STREETS Mayor Zimmerman and the members of the board of works and the street department, who made an inspection of the new concrete steel reinforced streets at Connersville, yesterday, returned very much pleased with the streets. However the decision as to the material to be used on South Eighth street will be left to the property owners. AUCTION SALE OF HOUSEHOLD GOODS, AMONG WHICH ARE SOME EXCELLENT PIECES OF FURNITURE AT SARAH J. CLARK'S RESIDENCE, OPPOSITE EARLHAM COLLEGE, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AT ONE O'CLOCK. 23-2t Quite Right. A good story is being told of a reply given by a Scotch student to a question set in an examination paper. "If twenty men reap a field in eight hours," ran the question, "how long will it take fifteen men to reap the same field?" The student thought long and carefully before setting down the answer, and when he handed in his paper this Is what the examiner read: "The field, having already been reaped by the twenty men, could not be reaped a second time by the fifteen." The Palladimm is one of a syndicate of leading newspapers which have had the wonderful opportunity of securing for a limited time the entire advance edition of the most modern dictionary published, enabling them to inaugurate a great educational campaign of national scope. This NEW dictionary has been agreed upon as the means of carrying out these plans, as it meets every requirement. It is NOT yet sold at stores as these newspapers have arranged . to take the entire output up to the time selected by its publishers previous to its sale at stores at its list price.
