REGARDING PRIORITY LAW Plncbot Addresses Convention on Preservation of National Re sources and Praises Roosevelt for Advancing Great Ideas. BOSTON. Aug. H. (Special.) The ap peal of the Multnomah Typographical Union. No. 68. of Portland, to the offi cers and delegates of the convention of the I. T. U. came up at today's session. The action of President Lynch and of the executive council was sustained and the appeal was dismissed. The contention of the Portland typos dated from last August. In that month Mr. Lynch rendered a decision that No. 58's priority law Is subject to the pro visions of the arbitration agreement. Ap peal was made to the executive council of the I. T. U., which sustained the president's stand. Today's action on the matter disposes of the case. . Acts on Seattle Appeal. The request of the Seattle union for support In the court case brought against it- by an expelled member caused a heat ed debate. The case was finally referred to the executive council for investigation and support, If. In the opinion of the In ternational Typographical Union's law yers, the matter warranted It. Business was1 then temporarily sus pended and Chief Forester Glfford Ptn chot spoke on the necessity of conserva tion of the Nation's natural resources. He said In part: Wealth We Hare Wasted. The conservation of natura.1 resources Is the ue of hard sense business principles and practical knowledge In dealing with the land we live in. It means keeping this country a good place to live in for ourselves and for our children. Most of all. It means the avoidance of waste. When the founders of this Nation landed In America, they found one of the most magnlflcnt forests of all the world. They used some of It. but they or their descend ants wasted as much as they used, until today the end of our timber supply Is In sight. If the present rate of cutting should continue. It will be gone In 25 or 30 years. We have had and we still have vast mineral resources. But we hava wasted about half the coal In the mines already worked by defective methods of rlning. mainly by taking the best, and much of the power In the coal is wasted when we burn it. The coal, once burned, cannot, like timber, b replaced by care and cultiva tion. Once gone. It is gone forever. Roosevelt's Three Great Ideas. President Rooseelt has put Into the minds of the American people three great Ideas: First The Idea of the square deal, which is the fair play policy and involves the ques tion of whether or not the great puollo service corporations, like the railroads, shall be the servants or the masters of the people. Second The conservation or foresight Idea, which involves the question whether or not we shall throw away the future of this Nation by destroying the resources of its natural welfare. Third The farm life Idea or policy, to consider which he has Just appointed a com mission on country life. This policy Involves the question whether the men who produce our food In the country shall have as good a chance In social, intellectual and co operative life as the men who consume the foods In the towns. For these three ideas President Roosevelt will be remembered and blessed long after aU of us have gone to our reward. WILL INVADE OHIO Democratic Candidate "to Beard Taft at Home. TOUR OF MIDDLE STATES Cheered by Conners' Sanguine Talk of Carrying New York, He Spends Busy Day Preparing His Campaign Speeches. LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. 14. The proph ecy of State Chairman W. J. Conners, of New York, that W. J- Bryan would carry that state; the sending out from Chicago of a number of speakers to various sec tions of the country by the Democratic National Committee, and the receipt of a number of telegrams and letters of con gratulation on his" speech, all served to put- the Democratic nominee for the Presidency in a happy frame of mind to day. On account oi threatening weather there were only a handful of visitors rode out to Falrvlew. and this fact afforded Mr. Bryan a rare opportunity to continue work at a lively pace on his speeches to be delivered at Indianapolis and else where. No such day of quiet had been experienced at the Bryan home for some time. Mr. Bryan Is awaiting replies to letters gent to different parts of the country in response to Invitations to speak before announcing the several dates and places which will be Included in his fortncomlng tour. It practically has been settled, however, that much attention will be given to Ohio, the native state of Mr. Taft. and that the speeches which Mr. Bryan Will make will be In the centers where it is deemed they will do the most good. Mr. Bryan and the Democratic National Committee, working In conjunction, are making arrangements for the campaign tour through Illinois. Indiana and Ohio. It has been tentatively agreed that short ly after the speech at Peoria. September 9.' he will enter the Stats of Ohio and speak at several of the large points be fore touring Illinois, Indiana and New York.

"Speakers are volunteering their serv ices In large numbers," said Mr. Atwood, "and no less than 12 tited States Sen ators have written me stating th'ey are ready to go on the stump. Every speaker that has been sent out has been a volun teer In the cause and ready to pay his own campaign expenses. We will send out speakers wherever they are requisi tioned for a while, but later the National Committee will prepare a detailed plan of speaking campaigns, and then we will send out speakers on our own Initiative.
