SAVANNAH, Ga., March 31.—The members of the various labor or
ganizations in Savannah have been very much interested this week in the
receipt of circulars fron^ Samuel W. Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, advising that in future all labor organizations af
filiated with the Federation would be expected to enter actively into poli
tics in the cities and states in which they are Bltuated.
Heretofore the advice of the leaders has been to let politics severely
alone. This new front is taken to mean that GomperB has decided that
the big machine of which he is at the head can be more effective in the
whirl of politics than out of it
As there is an animated political fight on In Savannah now which
the laboring men have been entering as individuals, it is expected that
they will at once get into it as an organization. If this is done and their
example is followed throughout the state, there may be a new political
factor to be reckoned with in Georgia.

Savannah, Ga., March 31.—The na
val stores year, which ended today,
was li^j every way a successful one,
and in some respects .was unique.^

The receipts of both spirits and rosin
have been away beyond the receipts
for the year before, and the same is
true of exports. The stock of both
commodities is smaller now than at
the close of business on March 31,
1905. The outlook 'for the coming year
Is equally’as bright.
