j By a vote of 83 to 56 the State
Federation of Labor this morning in
session at Convention Hall accepted
the recommendation of the grievance
committee that a seat In the conven-
tion be refused J. Luther Langston,
the deposed secretary-treasurer of
the State Federation.
Langston bore credentials to the
convention from Chandler. When
they were presented yesterday, a
protest against their acceptance was
filed with the credentials commit-
tee. The cerdentials committee in
its report to the convention noted
the protest, and it went to the griev-
ance committee. This morning the
griveance committee reported that
Langston be not seated. The report
was adopted by the vote of the con-
vention.
The convention was called to or-
der at 9:10 o'clock by President
C. C. Ziegler, and Secretary Wilson
called the roll.
The Lansgton matter was disposed
of, and the convention proceeded to
business.
The reports of the executive com-
mittee and the auditors and tellers
were referred to the officers' com-
mittee.
W. G. Ashton, assistant state la-
bor commissioner, representing com-
missioner, C. L. Dougherty, spoke on
the "compensation law." Dealing at
length with the interest of the lia-
bility companies in such an act, and
the unsatisfactory methods now em-
ployed by employes to secure com-
pensation for injuries, he declared
that unless the employers and em-
ployes get together and agree upon
a law 'before the next session of
the legislature, there will be no
compensation law passed. The state
labor department, he said, is pre-
paring a pamphlet to contain all
possible views of the compensation
act question, considered from all
angles. When this work is complet-
ed, a conference between employers
and employes will be called, to dis-
cuss every point fully, and an effort
will be made to agree upon some
equitable law to be submitted to the
legislature. It will take united ac-
tion to secure a good law, asserted
Mr. Ashton, as the liability compa-
nies are ready to expend huge sums
to defeat such legislation.
Afternoon Session.
At the afternoon session a fra-
ternal delegation from the Farmers'
Union was received. Hardy Dial
and others made brief addresses.
Ed Ryan, edlegate to the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, maed (hie
report of the meeting, and was heard
with interest.
One dead for every working hour
for every day of the year, and four
injured for every working hour of
every day of the year is the start-
ling record of the mining Industry,
according to Organizer Holt of the
Miners' Union for Oklahoma, Arkan-
sas and Texas, who Is addressing the
convention late this afternoon. He
made a strong plea for an equitable
compensation law, and asked that la-
bor demand of the legislature the
passage of such an act at the next
session.
CONVENTION NOTES.
The banquet will be held Wedneu
day evening at 7 o'clock at the First
Baptist church. It is given for the
delegates and visitors, and a com-
mittee of the Retail Merchants' as-
sociation will attend.
A ball game for tomorrow is be-
ing arranged today. If !t Is found
that the convention will be able to
adjourn as early as 4 o'clock Wed-
nesday, the game will bo played.
Interest In the sessions of the
Federation Is keen, and all of the
proceedings are closely followed by
the delegates.

LIGHTS TO DO
HIS CHORES BY
TRAFFIC ON CHICAGO AND AL.
TON HELD CP AND WRECK
DANGER INCREASED.
Joilet, 111., Aug. 20.—Because he
needed light wherewith to do his
chores, John Rossi, a 20-year-old
farmer boy, took two switch lights
from the Chicago and Alton main
track at Braidwood, sixteen miles
south of this city. Traffic in both
directions was held up for two hours
by the absence of the signals and in
one instance a rear end collision be-
tween a passenger and freight train
was narrowly averted.
Detectives were sent out on the
case and arrested Rossi, who was
'brought to this city. He made a full
confession of the theft of the signal
lights and explained that no trains
were passing and no one seemed to
need the lights, so he took them.
He had been working in the fields
all day and there remained many
chores about the dark barn to be
completed. He had no lantern han-
dy, so he went down to the Alton
tracks and took the lights. He took
both of them so that he would have
plenty of eli.
Railroad officials say it is a mir-
acle that the absence of the lights
did not result In one or more
wrecks. • • 4

F. E. Holliday writes the News-
Herald his views of tarantulas, as
gained from those who long lived
where the big spiders abounded, and
Is inclined toward the belief that
they are harmless. He quotes a

are "as harmless as toads." "They
might bite a little," said the same

thing."
