LABOR COUNCIL MEETS. I AMERICANS CALLED DOWN
American Federation Officers Begin
a Week's Session.
"WASHINGTON, Oct C The executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor began a "week's session here today.
The report of the secretary-treasurer
showed the American Federation of Labor
to be In excellent condition; that an in
crease of more than 200,000 members had
been gained In. the last four months; that
the official magazine, the American Fed
sratlonlst. Is on a sound basis, financially
and otherwise; that there are now more
than 900 volunteer organizers throughout
the country, and 30 salaried organizers
directly employed by the American Fed
eration of Labor, and 240 organizers em
ployed by affiliated National unions.
Reports were received from various or
ganizations. Indicating their progress and
growth, the most Interesting report being
that of the miners, stating that the situa
tion of the strike is well in hand, that the
response for financial aid Is fairly good,
and urging further contributions to main
tain families of the men on strike.
The International Longshoremen's As
sociation made application for a new
charter under the name of the Interna
tional Longshoremen, Marine and Trans
port "Workers' Association of .America
Inasmuch as this would extend Its jur
isdiction to trades and occupations already
organized, and which have protested
against the change In title and Jurisdic
tion, the petition was denied.

The strength of the National Guard of
Pennsylvania is 11,000 men. It is com

with 3.2-lnch field pieces, another with

matic guns.
of the calling out of the eatlre State.
Guard caused a mild sensation among
those gathered al strike headquarters, but
apparently the least perturbed were Pres
ident Mitchell and the three district pres
idents. There was a crowd in" the lobby
of the Hart Hotel, and as soon as the
miner' chief came down the stairs with
his traveling bag in hand, he was asked
for an opinion on the action of Governor
Stone. He at first declined, but a moment
later, as he pushed his way through the
throngs, he exclaimed:
'"If they call all the troops out In the
United States, it won't make the men go
to work."
President .Nicholls said: "Nothing' has
arisen to warrant the calling out of more
troops; but If they are not used for any
unlawful purpose, their presence In the
coal fields cannot do us any harm."
District President Duffy remarked that
"the troops are not needed. I protested
to Governor Stone when they were or
dered to the district; and I am still of
the same mind."
PresiBent Fahcy said: "I do not see
the necessity for calling out more troops, -unless
It be for the, purpose of boosting
the operators' side of the struggle."
The news of the calling out of all the
troops was received so late that opinion
could not be had fro.m all the coal offl-
"clals in this vicinity.
President Mitchell, accompanied by the
district presidents, left for Buffalo at
11:45 P. M. over the Lehigh Valley Rail
road. There they will meet a committee
of the National Association of Manufac
turers, and will try to devise some plan
for bringing the strike to an' end. At
Buffalo the miners will be joined by Na
tional Secretary-Treasurer "Wilson. A
large crowd saw Mr. Mitchell and his col-

LONDON, Oct. 6. General Corbin, Gen

an unpleasant experience with the English
motor laws. Both on Saturday and Sun
day they were driving a car which was
stopped by the police, who summoned the
Americans for exceeding 12 miles an hour.
The car In each Instance was a. fast, new
vehicle. Just purchased by Sir Thomas
LIpton, who had lent It to Mr. Gates to
Bhow the Generals around the country.
On Saturday they were driving through
Windsor when a policeman arrested the
chaffeur and took the names and addresses
of Mr. Gates and General Toung, who
were the occupants of the car, and Sun
day the same party, with General Corbin.
was nearlng Brighton, when a policeman
stepped out of a hedge and stopped the
car.
When the summonses are called up no
defense will be made, for, as one of the
Americans said:
"The police have got you at their mercy.
You may be morally sure that you were
not driving at over the speed limit, but
that is ineffective against the police with
their stop watches.

HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. .6. Governor
Stone, late tonight, ordered out the
Pennsylvania to duty In the anthracite
entire division of the National Guard of
regions. The soldiers will be in the field
tomorrow. The order calling out the
guard is as follows:
"In certain portions of the Counties of
Luzerne, Schuylkill, Carbon, Lackawanna,
Susquehanna, Northumberland and Cum
berland tumults and riots frequently oc
cur. Men who desire to work have been
beaten and driven away, and their fam
ilies threatened. Railroad trains have
been threatened and stoned, and the
tracks torn up. The civil authorities are
unable tb maintain order, and have called
upon the Governor and Commander-in-
Chief, of the National Guard for troops.
The situation grows mere serious each
day. The territory involved Js. so exten
sive -that tlie troops now on duty are' in
structed to prevent all disorder. The
Major-General commanding will place the
entire division on duty, distributing such
localities as will render them most ef
fective "for preserving the public .peace.
"As tumults, riots, mobs and disorder
usually occur when men attempt to work
In and about the coal mines, he will see
that all men who desire to work and their
families have ample protection. He will
protect all trains and other property from
unlawful Interference, and will arrest all
persons engaging In acts of violence and
Intimidation, and hold them' under guard
until their release would not endanger the
public peace, and will see that the threats.
intimidations, assaults and all acts of
violence cease at once. The public peace
and good order will be preserved upon
all occasions throughout the several coun
ties, and no interference whatever be per
mitted with officers and men in the dis
charge of duty under this order. The dig
nity and authority of the state must be
maintained, and her power to suppress all
lawlessness within her borders be assert
ed."
The formal order was given out at the
Executive Mansion shortly before 11
o'clock tonight by Private Secretary Ger-
wig.
Governor Stone called a conference of
the general officers of the guard, at which
it was decided to put the troops in the
field.
The canvas and other camp equipment
Will be shipped from the State Arsenal,
and It Is expected that all the troops will
be In the field within 24 hours.
Lieutenant-Colonel Elliott, Assistant
Adjutant-General of the Pennsylvania
National Guard, arrived In Harrlsburg
this afternoon from Philadelphia, and met
Lieutenant-Colonel Richardson, keeper of
the State Arsenal, at the Commonwealth
Hotel, and went from there to the Ex
"ecutive Mansion to meet Governor Stone.
Colonel Elliottsaid his visit had nothing to
do with the coal strike situation; that he
was simply here on military matters.
Colonel Richardson had with him a pack
age, which, it is believed, contained blue
prints of the coal regions.
Miners Are Much Surprised.
WILKESBARRE. Pa., Oct. 6. The news
Stone Silent on Extra Session.
HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. 6. Governor
Stone will neither affirm nor deny the
report from Washington that he has been
asked by President Roosevelt to call an
extra session of the General Assembly to
settle the coal strike. He still declines to
discuss the situation or the prospects of
an "early settlement of the differences be
tween the operators and miners.

GERVAIS, Or., Oct. 6. (Special.) The
business district of Gervais was reduced
to ashes In a destructive fire last night
that entailed a less approximating $50.0C0.
Very little of the property that was de
stroyed was insured. The fire, which was
of incendiary origin, started at 10:S0
o'clock Sunday evening, in Thompson's
confectionery store. In the McKInley
itchell building, and did not exhaust it
self until 6 o'clock this morning. Three
solid blocks of business houses were
burned. Pechner's general merchandise
store, W. Scott Taylor's harness shop and
-NibWr's Hotel are the only buslncrs houses
that escaped the flames. Two small resi
dences were also burned, and the principal
residence district had a narrow escape.
Cat Off From Outside Aid.
TheTnre v?aT"dlscovered when In an in
cipient state, but It spread rapidly. The
old frame structures, thoroughly dry and
seasoned, proved good fuel, and the blaze
was soon beyond control. Among the first
of the business houses to go was Dr. P.
H. Fitzgerald's drug store, in which was
located the telephone exchange. A few
minutes later the local telegraph service
was destroyed by the melting of the wires,
and when the seriousness of the"conflagra
tion was disclosed the people found them
selves cut off from all communication with
neighboring towns, and were practically
at the mercy of the fleencs. An attempt to
communicate with the Salem fire depart
ment and procure aid In fighting the fire
failed.
For protection from fire the city, a few
years ago, built a water tower at a cost of
$1500, and equipped it with a tank of 12,000
gallons capacity. The tower took fire at
the beginning of the fire last night, and
was of no assistance to the fire-fighters.
An antiquated hand pump and several
street cisterns was all that remained with
which to battle the fire. In operating the
pump, women and young girls volunteered
their services. The cisterns finally gave
out, and a large bucket brigade being or
ganized, water was carried from wells
about the town. Heroically did the vol
unteers battle against heavy odds. The
hotel building, several times ablaze, was
saved, although a woodshed that adjoined
It not two feet distant, was destroyed
Had the hotel burned, the principal resi
dence part om the city would have been
burned also.
Loss Will Asgrresatc $50,000.
A true statement of the loss that result
ed from the fire cannot be made now, but
the total damage will approximate 530,000,
With but little insurance. The following
statement shows the principal locscs.

The Southern Pacific passenger depot
was saved only by the constant attention
given by the Japanese section gang, 'it
was on fire several times. Melring & Flnr
ney's flouring mill had an equally close
call. I
Four .large warehouses situated on the
west side of the Southern Pacific Com
pany's track escaped the flames, and this
wao one of the fortunate things about the
unfortunp" Two of the storehouses
were filled with oats, another potatoes.
while the fourth contained about $2200
worth of hops. The roof of one of the
buildings caught on fire a number of times,
but was promptly put out before the fire
had gained any headway. Had one of the
buildings burned all would have gone, for
they were situated close together.
The three saloons of the city were all
destroyed, but the propriotor of one of
three businesses showed-enterprise by re
moving his bar into a barn that escaped
the flames. Having thus installed himself,
he was again dispensing drinks before the
ruins of his former place of business had
ceased smoldering.
The Finney warehouse, which was de
stroyed, together with its contents, con
tained about 20,030 bushels of wheat and
oats and a quantity of baled hay. A con-
idcrable amount of the grain !s reported
to have been in the warehouse on storage,
and belonged to farmers, who are the
losers since but little of the grain, if any,
was Insured.
Sneak Thieves Were Plentiful.
During the fire, sneak thicveo were nu
merous and in evidence In all sections.
For a time they plied their trade profit
ably, but several were detected and placed
In the City Jail, and their cases await
legal consideration.
The conflagration of Sunday night was
a big misfortune for the enterprising town
of Gervais, and the people feel their loss
very keenly. But this progressive com
munity will not be discouraged by this
unwelcome visitation. THey will rebuild
Immediately, and will build better than
before. The old frame structures that
.long since served their time will be re
placed by good, substantial business blocks
that will be a credit to the enterprise and
inogressivencss of the community they
will serve.

to the Sultan of BacolOd, warning him to
cease his opposition to the Americans,
