IN LABOR CIRCLES ? | I The principal events in the Washington field of labor the paiit week included the ! assembling last Monday of the executive council of the American Federation o: Labor: the indorsement of Sam De Nedrey by Columbia Typographical Union as dele, gate from the International Typographical Union to the American Federation of La bor-. and the visit to this city of em ployes of navy yards, naval stations, gun factories, etc., and their call upon the President and Congress. Tho executive council of the American Federation of I>abor lias been termed "President Gompers' cabinet." It is com posed of the vice presidents, the secretary and treasurer of the American Federation of Labor, with Mr. Gompers as presiding officer. The many friends of Sam De Nedrey have rolled up their sleeves with the view of bringing about his election as one of the printer delegates to the convention of the American Federation of Labor. One of his friends declared today: "If Sam la elected to the American Fed eration of Labor he will make his mark? and a big, broad, shining mark?in that body, as 1 e has everywhere else." Referring to Mr. De Nedrey's candidacy, the New Hampshire Trades Unionist says: "We hear that Sam De Nedrey is a candidate as delegate to the American Federation of Labor from the Interna tional Typographical Union. We hope he wins out, as a harder worker in the cause of trade unionism is bard to find. Mr. De Nedrey is present secretary-or ganizer for the Central Labor Union of the .District of Columbia, representing Columbia Typographical Union, No. lOl, in that body. He Is also editor of one of the best labor papers in the United States, the Washington Trades Unionist, and a man who dares to come out and tell the truth as he does ought to be elected a delegate to the A. F. of L." Delegates have been seated In the Cen tral Labor Union as follows: Railroad helpers and laborers?M. Bros nan. C. W. Spring. M. II. Small, A. J. Shanahan and C. J. Fuse. Paperhangers. No. 420? Bunneston. Mil ton D. Miettee and William J. Tubman. Painters and decorators?Thomas Mc Giltoil, Joseph C. Clark. Joseph Bailey, Joseph Donaldson and Aug. Cordes. Electrical Workers. No. H<>? J. C. Wil liams. J. J. Purcell. H. Oliver, T. J. Fin nerian and F. W. Mitchell. The Machinists' Monthly Journal, offi cial organ of that craft, in the current issue says: "In my opinion what some of the work men in this country need is a stirring up. A iiO per cent reduction would do some of the American labor men good. It would wake them up to present conditions." The foregoing, says the Journal, was uttered by John Hodge, .fraternal dele gate from the British trades union con gress to the American Federation of Labor at Norfolk, just before he sailed for home. Mr. Hodge thinks the American work men are lacking In appreciation of the power that cornea from organization in telligently directed. He claims that the workers of Great Britain are more alive to the possibilities presented to them through combination, and that the mili tant spirit is stronger with them than with the workers of this country. "English workmen are now getting in a position to enjoy some of the fruits of their labor," says Mr. Hodge, "but having made such progress, it is not their inten tion to relinquish what they have gained, but to fight on for all time to come. Dur ing the past decade labor has accom plished great things in England, and a great many changes will take place dur ing the next few years. "In Great Britain thirty-one members of the house of commons were elected as trade unionists, and I would advise my fellow trades unionists in the United States to go and do likewise. If this would be done. Instead of having only two members in your national Congress, you would be able to have at least fifty or sixty." The Coopers' International Journal ways anent the alleged attack by the Manufacturers' Association through its official organ upon the private char acter of President Gompers of the A. 1". of L: "The folly of such a resort on the part of the Manufacturers' As sociation will at once be apparent to any one who has a little knowledge of the labor movement. The labor move ment is founded not upon men, but upon principles ? living principles. President Gompei's, though he )s a gl , ant in the labor movement, is only a | man. He Is not the labor movement. I If the Manufacturers' Association suc i reeded to the extent of forever destroy ing the character and standing of Mr. (rompers; if they succeeded to the ex tent of forever driving him out of the councils of the labor movement, there would still be the labor movement left, with all its characteristics, for them to reckon with. There would still be the undying principles of trade unionism alive in the minds and heart* of the workers. There is not the slightest possibility, however, that such methods as they have adopted will in the slight est degree injure the reputation of Mr. Gompers. "On the contrary, the attempt to blacken the character of a man ho well known to the workers, coming from a source which leaves no doubt as to the motive, will only cause the workers to forget whatever dissatisfaction may have existed with Gompers. It can serve only to strengthen him in the minds of the trade unionists. For more than a quarter of a century the life of the "Grand Old Man," as he is known to the trade unionists, has been as an open book to the union men of the country. For more than a quarter of a century Mr. Gompers has been serv 1 ing the unions under the scrutiny of i the severest and most searching critics, both within and without pie move ment, and through It -all he comes out ? lean enough in the election of officers I in labor s most recent convention to be ; re-elected without a dissenting voice or i vote for the first time in the history of the A. F. of L." j "The year just closed wIr one of un usual prosperity In the printing busi ness." says the Printing Trade News, "and saw the establishment of more new and up-to-date plants in and about New York city than probahly any other year in its history. All this spread prosperity throughout all branches of the trade and all the contributory factors to the estab-I lishment of printing plants, suoh as ma-; chlnery builders, ink and paper manufac- \ turers, etc. The .rnncial crash that i struck the country in the latter part ofj October caused a temporary setback to; this happy ftate of prosperity. But we; are confident that the setback is only temporary, and that in a very few weeks the printing business will be busier than ever, and the allied branches of the trade will also be participants in the restored prosperity the trade throughout the country." Made Special Indian Agent. Walter vf. McConlhe has been promoted ? in the Interior Department to bo special Indian agent at $2,U?0 per annum and traveling expenses. Mr. McConlhe has been an employe of the department since Iflitt, and has steadily risen from a clerk ship through many grades. He is a well known resident of the West End. PLEADS FOR BECKHAM BRYAN SAYS HE VOTED FOR PARKER UNWILLINGLY. FRANKFORT, Ky., January -2.-The climax of W. J. Bryan's visit to Frank fort was reached yesterday afternoon when he spoke to the democratic mem bers of the legislature behind closed doors, advocating the election of former tiov. Beckham as United States senator. Mr. Bryan said neither Gov. Beckham nor anybody else had Invited him to Frank fort. He declared lie had ro fears for him self. He said he was told in the Goebel campaign that he might hurt himself if he came to Kentucky. "I am not afraid of hurting myself when the interests of the democratic party are at stake," said Mr. Bryan. "1 might be a candidate this year." he said. "I do not know. Only two dele gates have been elected and they have been instructed for me. but they are not enough to elect me. If what 1 say here affects my chances of election it not a sufficient bribe to keep my mouth closed. I am in the habit of saying what I think." He said he had come to Kentucky not for Beckham, but for the democratic caucus nominee, and that if. McCreary were the nominee for senator he would be here speaking for McCreary. Sees Democratic Election Chances. "I am here." said he. "because I be lieve the democratic party has a good chance to be elected this year. I do not know who the democratic, standard bearer may be, but I know that it takes a democratic Senate ar.d House to up hold the President. I do not want to b? a President simply to sit in a chair, but to do something for the people. * "All the popularity of the republican President has come from thn adoption of democratic principles and reform. We cannot rely much on republican senators. We may get the House, but it will require an overwhelming victory to get the Sen ate. I am hopeful we may make enough gains to secure the Senate for democratic reform. On the vote of one senator may rest the fate of democratic principles. "For a generation we have had a gov ernment under corporate control. This government was sold to the highest bid der, a.nd since that time a. saturnalian feast has existed at Washington. The only relief is a democratic triumph this fall; not only the White House, but also the House and Senate. Faces a Great Responsibility. "The legislature of Kentucky faces a great responsibility, and should arise to the occasion and elect a democratic sena tor. on whose vote the deliverance may rest." H; said that personalities should not be allowed to figure in politics; that it was wrong for democrats to refuse to support men just because they did not want them. He said in 11(04 he took his medicine in Parker. Parker was the man above all others he did not want, "but," declared Bryan, "he stood for more de mocracy than the republicans did, and I accepted him and did what I could for him. Give me a bitter enemy, and if he stands for the same things I stand for, I will do more for him than his best friend." Mr. Bryan said: "The embezzlement of power is as great a crime as the embezzlement of money." Mr. Bryan was referring to the man who is elected to a legislative body and then votes against the wishes of the peo ple who sent him. "I hope the time will come." he said, "when such betrayers will be whipped from power." Conscientious Legislators. Mr. Bryan decla-ed that legislators who are too conscentlous to vote as those who elect them want should be conscien tious enough to resign their offices. "The rights of the corporations extend only to those given to them by law," de clared Mr. Bryan, amid applause. The warning of President Roosevelt as to great fortunes which had been built up by the growth of the corporations was warmly commended by the speaker. Mr. Bryan said that he wanted to express his gratification and gratitude for this tak ing off from his shoulders a part of the cussing from corporations which he formerly had to be^r. According to the speaker, the recent panic was due to fictitious values. The railroads, he said, "had palmed off on the public" stocks that were the primary cause of the dis turbance. He said every state should pass such laws or amendments as would make impossible watered stock and ficti tious capitalization. At the conclusion of M~. Bryan's speech to the democratic members of the legislature, Senator Wheeler Campbell, onie of the antl-Beckham democrats, arose and said he would refrain from making public his reasons why he would not vote for Backham for senato-. but he would give Mr. Bryan his reasons in p ivate, and he felt sure Mr. Bryan would shake hands with him and say: "Well done, good and faithful democrat." He was greeted with hisses. WEST WASHINGTON CITIZENS. Officers Elected at Annual Meeting of Association. At the annual meeting last evening of the West Wc-shlnjrton Citizens' Associa tion.

John F. Green, for the school committer, introduced a resolution, the preamble of which sets forth local school conditions, and enters a protest against the methods recently employed by the board of educa tion In removing Dr. Chancellor from of fice. It was recited th**t the West Washing ton Citizens' Association, "while deeply deplorlng the conditions which have for years existed In and have for years torn and rent our school system, most earnest ly urges that the entire school question be thoroughly and speedily investigated by the subcommittee of the Senate, to the end that the difficulties may be promptly and entirely corrected at the earliest possi ble date. It was added that some such legislation as will centralize the power of administration of the schools be speedily en acted. The public health committee reported that while the western section had had some sickness, the average health was far above that in the tity. The suggestion of the Anacostla Association that a cen tral citizens' association be crganlzed was ayproved. t ? Borrowing From Subordinates. Maj. D. D.

Goethals, is acting chief engineer of the Panama canal, has issued a circular to heads of depart ments and divisions on the canal zone say ing that his attention "has beep directed to the fact that certain employes have been borrowing money from other em ployes over whom they exercise super vision or control."

My Dear <?overnor: At a recent meet ing of the Republican Club of the city of New York, very largely attended, a reso lution was adopted with practical unanim ity urging the next republican nationai convention to nominate, you for the office of President of the I'nited States and to that end inviting the co-operation of re publicans generally. The president of the club has appointed a committee of twenty-five to carry out the purpose of the resolution.

I am deeply sensible of the honor conferred upon me by my fellow-members of the Republican Club in the passage of the resolution to which you refer, and it will give me pleas ure to accept the invitation. In accept ing it. it is proper for me to restate my position: It is my desire that the sentiment of the party shall have the freest expres sion. and that such action shall be taken as will be for its best interests. I do not seek office nor shall I attempt to influence the selection or vote of any delegate. The state administration must continue to be impartial and must not be tributary to any candidacy. I have no Interest in any factional controversy and desire, above all things, that there shall be deliberation, honest expression of the party will and harmony of effort. I cannot fail to recognize the great honor which the nomination would con fer or the obligation of service which it would impose. Nor should I care to be thought lacking in appreciation of the confidence and esteem which prompt the efforts of those who sincerely desire to bring it about. The matter is one for the party to decide, and whatever its decision I shall be content. I shall be glad to meet the members of the club as you suggest, anrl to make such further statement as may be appro priate. In view of the engagements al readv made I do not see how it will b possible to have such a meeting before the evening of Januarv 31. And If that date suits your convenience arrangements may be made accordingly. Very truly yours. very i y >CHARLEg E HUGHES. GENERAL NEWS GATHERED ON THE RIVER FRONT Laths from the maritime provinces of Canada are one of the few things that are brought to this city aboard vessels on which duty has to be paid. The three masted schooner I. K. Stetson, which is lying at the wharf foot of 12th street unloading a cargo of spruce laths from St. .Johns, N. B.. has a custom house officer aboard checking the bundles of laths as they swing over the rail of the schooner, and when her cargo is dis charged Johnson & Wimsatt, the con signees of the laths, will give the cus tom house officials a check for the amount of the duty. The tariff now in force imposes a duty of 25 cents per thou sand on laths from the Canadian prov inces. The Stetson has aboard about 600,000 laths, but of these the duty will be paid on 402,000, or *123. The re mainder of her cargo came from a l.iaine port and is free of duty. About $600 is paid each year at the Georgetown cus tom house on importations of laths from Canada. Numerous herring from the lower Po tomac are being received by the dealers at the 11th street wharf market almost every trip made by the steamers to the lower river, and the dealers say that if warm weather continues an early open ing of the fishing season may be looked for. In the shipments of fresh fish from river points brought here aboard the steamer Harry Randall, which arrived yesterday, were a couple of hundred her ring as fine looking as any caught in the spring fishing season. The fish com manded ready sale at about $.? per hun dred and were in demand, it is said, in the wholesale market uptown. As yet but few shad from Florida waters have been received by the local dealers. This is taken bv the dealers to indicate a shortage in the supply in the Potomac in the spring. The dealers say they would like to see two or three weeks of cold weather with ice on the river, so that the water will get thoroughly chilled and will prevent the fishing season from opening too soon. At several of the haul seine shores on the river the nets have been in the water for two weeks, but as yet the catch has been light. Arrived: Schooner Horatio Seymour, cordwood from a Potomac point for the dealers; tug James O. Carter, with a tow of five oyster and wood carrying vessels from river points; schooner Aman da Lewis and bugeyes S. C. Kimball, Ha 111c K. Fair American and Thomas W.

The schooner Charles H. Daiger was Monday taken to the Alexandria ship yard to be hauled out and have repaired the hole in her bow made by the stem of the fcrrv steamer Lackawanna, which was in collision with the Daiger between this city and Alexandria about a month ago. The big hole in the schooner was closed with canvas and boards so that she could be towed to Alexandria.
