DENVER, June 7.-President Charles H. Moyer and Secretary William D. Haywood of the Western Federation of Miners, who are in Salt Lake City attending the thirteenth annual convention of that organization, are not expected to return, as the convention proper, which is likely to adjourn Thursday, will be followed by a meeting of the executive board, which will occupy some days.
On June 2 the Utah State Federation of Labor held its annual celebration at Saltair beach, near Salt Lake city, and Moyer and Haywood made the principal addresses.
According to John M. O'Neil, who is in charge of the headquarters in Denver during the absence of Moyer and Haywood, one of the principal things acted upon by the Salt Lake City convention was the indorsement of the projected organization of the Industrial Workers' union, for which a first, or organizing, convention will be held in Chicago, June 27. Five delegates, or representatives, were selected to attend at Chicago, with full power to make the Western Federation of Miners an integral part of the new union. [The five delegates elected are: Charles Moyer, William D. Haywood, Charles H. McKinnon, Albert Ryan, and J. A. Baker.]
The aim of this new labor order will be to have each body of workers elect a secretary and treasurer, who shall be members of the cabinet or central body. A president of the entire organization will probably be elected by the mass of the workers assembled in convention from time to time.
It is expected that when once the present plans of the union are effected along the lines indicated no such a crisis for labor can again arise as is now on in Chicago with the strike of the teamsters. On the contrary, at such a time under the new plan, not a man in the city of Chicago, of whatever trade, would be at work.
It is said that a great many of the leading students of the labor problem of the United States and Canada have signified their intention of attending the Chicago convention as individuals for the purpose of keeping in touch with the new movement.
The Salt Lake City convention has pledged the moral and financial support of the Western Federation of Miners to the striking teamsters and also to the striking brewery workers of the state of Washington, and are now working on a plan to organize the mineral districts in the states east of the Mississippi river, as President Moyer advised in his address to the convention.
