Tonight, In bidding goort-by; tovhis fellow delegates. President Compers suld: "This convention unquestionably has been one of the most memorable and most significant In the history of the whole labor movement." Just before the close, Delegate Andrew Furuseth, of Kan Francisco, arraigned the L'nited States senate, which he declared contained the "most insidious enemies of labor," He named several senators, who he said' would bear watching. The principal business today was th vote directing the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners to place the woodworkers in planing mills and furniture factories under the Jurisdiction of tno Amalgamated Woodworxers, and the refusal to grant a chartr to the National Association of Steam and Hot Water Fitters.
In the old controversy between National Association of Steam and Hot Water Fitters and Helpers of America and the United Plumbers, GasfHters, bteamfit'tens, the executive committee recommended ir it. the charter of the steam fitters which wag revoked a year ago, he returned to the or-fcanlzation and that each df the two associations maintain separate juris diction. 'i A vigorous debate followed and the committee's report was not concurred In. On motion of Delegate Duncun the of the arbitrator in. the controversy was upheld and tho plumbers given Jurisdiction ovw the steamfltteis.
Mr. Feruseth closed the convention by telling the convention that Senators Piatt, of Connecticut; Lodge, of Mussa-chusets, and Hanna, cf Ohio, and Morgan, of Alabama, should be watched with the greatest can. "A few more I could name, but if I don't mention them I will get along better," were his words. A resolution was adopted asking all working people to purchase goods bearing the union label. The committee on boycott recommended the greatest caution In establishing boycotts.
Hoporting on several resolutions relating to trade disputes between intal workers, sheet workers, hridKe and structural Iron workers and similar trades, including one culling for the revocation of the charter of the United Metal Workers' International union, the grievance committee recommended that the entire matter be referred to the executive council. Several delegates objected to th; committee's report. Frank Buchanan, president of the International Association of Prldgi; and Structural Iron workers, attacked the metal workers' organization, which he maintained was "a stumbling block to tho trades union movement, and a pirate on the sea of unionism." Delegate Herman, of the metal workers, declared that Delegate Buchanan's attack was personal. He denied that any met-tl workers had taken the placet; of striking structural workers. The committee's report was concurred In.

28.Judge Lacombe, in the Vnlted States to. day handed down an opinion overrule lug the motion made by Charles F. W. Neely, of uncle, lnd who was coiv vlcted in Cuba of appropriating $46,375 of postal fund, white acting as chief cf the department of posts during the military cccupitlon of the Island of Cuba by the United States, to vaeath the attachment filed by the United States against the $20,000 cash ball deposited by Neely with tho registrar of the 1'nlted State circuit court in thl district. Neely' counsel TMd moved the dismissal of the attachment and the civil proceeding on the ground that the act of amnesty passed by the Cuban con gress in May, 1K92, whereby all Americans convicted of crime In Cuba during the occupancy of the Islind, were pardoned, removed with It all penalties and disabilities, and that the money should therefore be returned to him.
The United States, which brought the uctlon prior to tho passage of the amnesty act, contended that the money so deposited properly belonged to Cuba, from which government Neely had, em-belled It. In hi opinion, Judge Laeomlie sityi "It Is difficult to understand by yht process of reasoning provision fliim as this 'amnesty set' can bo to constfKfitl a to transfer the title tn property from the true owner to th thief who mole It."
