"A fox had by some means got Into the storeroom, of
"a. theater. Suddenly he observed a face glaring down on
him, and began to be very frightened; but, looking more
closely, he found It was only a mask, such as used by
harlequins to put over their face 'Ah said the fox,
'you look very line; it Is a pity you have no brains.' "
MORAIr Outside show Is a poor substitute for inner

Ironworkers' Convention Has

BUCHANAN URGES HARMONY
Kennlson, "VV. F. Davis, Patrick Mullaney
and Thomas Foster, union miners, who
are prisoners in the military guardhouse.
The orders direct that the men be pro
duced in court Friday morning. Attorney
John M. Glover presented the petition for
tho prisoners. General Chase is the only
respondent named in the writs.
The military tonight arrested Peter Mc

inent members of the miners' union.
They were placed In the guardhouse.

President Quiet the IV err s Yorkers,
but More Trouble I Expected
Western Locals Want Railroads
aiade to Pay Standard Wages.
KANSAS CITY. Sept 28. Today's ses
sions of the convention of the Internation
al Association of Structural Iron and
Bridgeworkers were taken up entirely
with routine matters. The. Parks crowd
helped clear up the small business of the
gathering and no signs of the fight be
tween the two factions promised yester
day were visible. President Buchanan
made an appeal for harmony and his talk
had the effect, at least temporarily, of
quieting the troublesome New Yorkers.
"It's the lull before the storm," said one
delegate after the convention had ad
journed for the day.
The sum total of the day's work was the j
granting of a charter to the Architectural '
Ironworkers of Chicago, a strong labor
l)Ody, which has perhaps 6000 members
throughout the country, and a decision
to send delegates to the convention of the 1
Building Trades Alliance, to be held at
Indianapolis Tiexi month.
An important petition presented by half
a dozen "Western locals recommended that
the convention take some action to force
certain "Western railroads to pay standard
wages or to let their bridge work to con
tractors who are fair to organized labor.
President Buchanan called the conven
tion to order as if nothing unusual had
happened since Saturday's session. Be
fore proceeding to business he addressed
a few words to the delegates, urging har
mony, and saying he had only the best
interests of union labor at heart, and
wanted to do what would accomplish the
most for labor In general. He urged the
necessity, especially for the effect it would
have upon the country at large, of a
dignified, business-like convention. There
was no attempt on the part of the Parks
crowd to interfere with the routine work
in hand, and any antagonistic action that
they may have had in mind was post
poned for the time being.
Following is the petition of the "West
ern locals to which reference Is hereafter
made:
"We, the delegates representing locals
19 of Minneapolis, 24 of Denver. 27 of Salt
Lake. 10 of Kansas City. 30 of Des Moines
and 21 of Omaha, request that some action
b taken to secure control of the road
work being done by the several roads
west of the Mississippi River. There are
a number of fair contractors who have
agreed to recognize our union and pay the
standard wages with regulation hours.
"We find that such roads as the Union
Pacific, Oregon Short Line and others are
paying their brldgemen as low as $3 per
day on a ten-hour basis. "We recommend
that some action be taken by this con
vention that would either force these rail
roads to pay the standard wages or to let
their brldgework to contractors who are
fair to. organized labor."
Daniel Brophy, who held a proxy from
Scranton. Pa., and who "was unseated
last week, sat in the convention this
morning, but without a vote. Last week
when he was unseated he left the hall
in an angry mood and refused any Invi
tation to attend the sessions.
TO LOOK IXTO UNION'S CHARGES.
Public Printer Names Committee to
Investigate Government Prices.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28. As a result.
of recent criticism of the list of charges
made by the Government printing office
for the printing and bookbinding done in
that Institution for the various depart
ments of the Government, Public Printer
Palmer today announced the appointment
of ia committee to Investigate these
charges. The complaints of the exces
sive charges made by the Government
were an outgrowth of the discussion over
the case of "William A. Miller, assistant
foreman of the bookblndery. against
whose retention the Bookbinders' Union
is waging a, fight-
In connection with the complaints j
against the schedule of charges, the Pub- i
lie Printer points out that no profit ever
has been expected for this kind of work, i
and the Government merely charges cost 1
prices, and then adds 10 per cent to cover
the administrative expense of non-productive
labor, such as messengers, door
keepers, watchmen, etc.

EMPLOYERS HAVE NOT GIVEN UP.
Nevr York Builders Will Fight the
Unio'n to the End.
NEW YORK, Sept 2S. Charles L.
Eidelltz, president of the Building Trades
Employers' Association, his Issued a
statement declaring that the employers
have not given np their fight against the
unions which are opposing the plans for
labor settlements on the employers' arbi
tration plan. He said:
"While it Is true that building contracts
are being canceled and the volume of
building will be greatly curtailed. It Is
also true that we are going to carry our
fight to a finish with the view of establish
ing a condition of affairs that will enable
us some time to resume work under bet
ter relations with our employes; Instead
of relaxing, we will fight harder than
ever before.
"It is now squarely up to the unions
themselves as to how the fight ends. If
the men -choose to follow false and dan
gerous leaders, they alone will be respon
sible for the result"

Positive Assurance Is Given That
the Thirty-two Battalions Ordered
From Monastlr to liVdrianople
Will Not Be Moved.
SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept 28. The situa
tion here is much brighter today, and tho
war clouds appear to have lifted. The
Porte's assurance that the 32 battalions
recently ordered to proceed from Monastlr
to Adrlanople will not be moved has
lessened the apprehensions of the Bul
garian government Further satisfaction
is derived from the fact that M. Nato-
hovltch is going to Constantinople In the
capacity of Bulgarian diplomatic agent
He conducted the negotiations with the
Porte last June, and after their failure
returned to Sofia. The committee ap
pointed for the purpose at the time of
yesterday's demonstration of 15,000 Mace
donians in this city waited on Premier
Petroff today and asked him if the gov
ernment Intended to do anything to help
the Macedonians. M. Petroff replied the
Ministry was acting In what It conceived
to be the best Interests of Bulgaria, and
would continue the same policy. The
spokesman of the committee told the
Premier his reply would not be satis
factory to the people, and the commit
tee thereupon withdrew.
The Dnevnlk, commenting on the situ
ation, says:
"Although the Bulgarians remain quiet,
it Is notva .true Indication of tho national
feelings, but It Is owing to the approach
ing elections."

ernment to take action."

CANAL BOARD HAS NO HOPE
Colombian Commission Will Report
a Kevr Treaty Useless.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2S. A Colombian
Senator who appears to have reliable In
formation says, according to a Herald
dispatch from Bogota, that the commis
sion appointed to draft a new proposi
tion for a Panama Canal will report it to
be useless. The Senate will examine the
legality of the canal company's extension
of time on the contract of Mancini Cal
dron before taking any new action on the
canal proposition.
Nevr Treaty "Wholly Unacceptable.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 28. Much inter
est Is taken in Washington in what the
Colombian Senate will do with the canal
proposition, now that the Hay-Herran
treaty has failed. It is known that Co
lombia Is anxious to keep alive the canal
negotiations, State Department officials
having received Information to the ef
fect from the Colombian government.
The bill now before the Senate of Co
lombia, as understood here, Is the one
reported by the committee of that body.
It contains treaty provisions that would
be entirely unacceptable to this Govern
ment. Minister Beaupre's dispatch ex
presses the belief that the bill may be
defeated; also that It may be amended.
The form the amendments take Is re
garded as the most Important thing at
present.
Bcauprc Reports No Change.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 28. The follow
ing bulletin today was posted at the State
Department: "The Department of State
received today at 1:12 P. M. a cable mes
sage from Minister Beaupre dated Sep
tember 27, 8 P. M. He reported that there
had been no change in the situation in
respect to the canal matter. A second
debate on the bill reported by the com
mittee Is expected within a few days, and
it Is thought It may be defeated. The
present outlook Is for some amendments
of the reported bill."
