Exciting Debate In Meeting of Illinois State Feder% tion at Springfield' REFUSE TO HEED WARNING Delegates Decline to Listen to Argu­ ment of David Ross, Who Contends That the Present Time Is lnoppor» - tune for Radical Action. - Springfield, 111., special: Biy an ove*» whelming vote the convention of the State Federation of Labor declared for the "closed" as against the "open" 8hop. This was in spite of the fact that David Ross, secretary of the state board of labor statistics, led the fight for the "open" shop. - Then, to make things rooft emphat­ ic,, the convention instructed its dele­ gates to the American Federation of Labor to advocate a resolution which Would throw the union to which Ross belongs and which he represents in this gathering out of the federation al­ together.

Ross Gives Warning. David Ross was on his feet at once, combating the resolution. "Trades unions are voluntary associations," said he, "and men must be won to them by persuasion. The welfare of all trades unions is bound up in this question. They cannot afford to adopt a war policy. "This resolution means force. It means coercion. My friends, be care­ ful. Unless you look out trouble is ahead. Now, when the market condi­ tions are not the best, is not the time to raise this question. Better to con­ tinue as we are. We represent but a small percentage of those engaged in industrial employment, less thfln 2,- 000,000 out of 20,000,000." Vote Is Unanimous. A motion to postpone further consid­ eration of the question was crushed instanter by the friends of the resolu­ tion, who insisted on settling the mat­ ter at once, and speech after speech was made by the "closed" shop advo­ cates. Daniel Furman of Chicago tried to explain that Ross was not opposed to the closed shop, but thought this was the wrong time to urge it. But the convention would not listen and the resolution favoring the closed shops was passed by a practically unanimous vote, only four or five faint noes be­ ing heard when the negative wa» called for.

OCTOBER TRADE IS Increased Activity J$ Shown in the Distribution of Merchandise. GAIN IN MOVEMENT OF FREIGHT Railroad Managers Are Kept Busy Supplying Cars for Traffic on Their Lines, the Eastbound Shipments Showing Increase in Farm Products. Chicago, 111., special: Dun's Review, issued by R. G. Dun & Co., the mer­ cantile agency, says: "Under the stimulus of seasonable weather conditions farm work pro­ gresses satisfactorily, and reports in­ dicate some increased activity in the distribution of goods and in manufac­ tures. October buying is of a gratifying volume, and, while this is most ap­ parent In the leading retail lines, the jobbing sections are also doing a fair house trade, and make large shipments of dry goods, furniture and carpets, clothing and foot wear. Railroad Business. "Freight tonnage both East and West gained momentum, and railroad managers find the movement of gen­ eral merchandise the greatest hitherto experienced. Eastbound shipments ex­ ceed a year ago in farm products, and there is also much diversion of food stuffs for export by way of the gulf outlets. Receipts of Iron ore, coal and lumber by lake are heavier than a month ago, and vessel charters are in good request, with rates firm and prof­ itable. No indications are noted of overproduction among the important local industries, but much work has ac­ cumulated which cannot be completed for months to come, particularly in rails, structural iron and railroad equipment. General Tone la Good.' "Hardware of all kinds is somewhat dim cult to obtain, supplies being low and the current buying excellent for tne Interior and lasting longer than ex­ pected. Furniture-makers are well filled with orders for domestic and foreign consumption. Hard woods are not readily available to meet the needs of manufacturers, and the continued scarcity holds prices to a high aver­ age. Lumber tor railroad and build­ ing purposes is freely bought, country shipments showing the best aggregate, and although new building operations In the city disclose some contraction, local needs are of fair volume and the yards well employed. Grain and Live 8tock. "Grain shipments for six days, in­ cluding 3,922,447 bushels of corn, ag­ gregate over 6,274,395 bushels and are 8 per cent over t$e previous week. The wheat market presented the most interest, owing to stronger buying and the scarcity of that cereal. Corn operations were on a large scale and sales of futures were influenced by growing supplies. Compared with closing prices of a week ago, wheat advanced 2% cents, and corn and oats each declined three-eighths of a cent, lite stock receipts, 310,503 head, are 4 per cent under the corresponding week of 1902.
