driving these days and the way he sends
them over the road is caution. The

that he doesn't ask us to take a ride

Executive Council Of Labor
Federation Issues Address.
(By Associated Press.)

y WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 3O.-The
Executive Council Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor tonight issued an adj
dress TO organized labor. which advocates
the eight hour day, opposes abuse by the
courts of the writ of Injunction, and
strongly asserts the principle OF the
union shop.
The address describes the recent con-
ference with President Roosevelt, quot
ing the President as favoring the eight
hour bill In tho conference, says the
address the open shop idea was care
fully considered, The address continues:
Replying to statements on the sub
ject President Roosevelt set forth that
in his decision he had nothing In mind
but a strict compliance with Federal,
Including civil service, laws, and that
he recognized difference between ems
ployment by the government circum-
scribed by those laws and any other form
of employment. and that his decision In
the Miller case should not be understood
to have any other effect or Influence
than affecting direct employment by the
government In accordance Herewith, He
Furthermore made plain that In any form
of employment excepting that so circum-
scrlbed he believed the full employment
of union men was preferable either to
non-u union or open shop.
I'm view Of the publicity given the sub
tect the Executive Council of the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor takes this OPP
portunty to say that the trade union
movement stands for strictly union shop,
experience having proved that where the
open shop system has been tried reduc-
ton in wages and profits have ensued,
with general disaster to the industry
practiclng that system. and therefore
declares that the best interests OF the
labor movement calls for the employment
of union workers and dscourages In
every way shape and form, the deterior-
atng effects which follow the recognition
of the open shop
The address argues that the success
of agreements with employers depends
on the complete organization of labor, for
only an organized body can carry into
execution such an agreement,

DIAMOND
TRADED FOR SANDWICH

BRISTOL, VA. Sept. 3O-A negro lad.
ten years old, who had been loaflng
about the show cases of Ryland & Ran
kin. jewelers. who had on display large
collection of precious stones at State
and Sixth Streets, got his fingers into
one of the cases while the clerks were
busy with customers and succeeded In
getting possession Of a diamond worth
$500. He quickly left the store, ana it
was some time before the diamond was
missed. Before night a representative
of the firm had located the diamond in
q negro restaurant down in the negro
quarters Of the city. 1t was learned that
the lad who stole the diamond had tried
persistently to sell 1t for rs cents, but
was unable to find buyer In that part
Of the city, The, little fellow was hun
cry. and finally, despairing of getting his
price for the stone he went to the res
taurant, where he exhibited 1t to the
proprietor, proposing to swap 1t for a
ham sandwich.
The proprietor had no idea OF the value
o. the stone and did not want it, but
accepted 1t In exchange for sandwich
rather than see the lad go hungry.
Later, when tthe keeper Of the restaurant
was approached by a representative of
the jewelry firm he was more than will
dng to sell the stone, for q dollar, and so
the trade was made without revealing
to the restaurant keeper at the time that
the stone had been stolen and that 1t
possessed great value.

time since the manoeuvre began all the
arms of the service had a fair chance to
show their mettle and practically the
whole strength OF the opposing commands
were in actual contact with "the enemy"
at some time or another.
The general feature of the problem was
the same as on the two preceding days.
The Blue army having been driven in ON
Its base at Louisville by the Brown army
from Nashville, had secured reinforce

while the Brown was retiring. a Blue

cavalry movement which Isolated large
part Of the Blues right. The central col

busy at the position in an orchard that
the Brown artillery took position which
enabled 1t to sweep the Blue left, and

by Mr.. Grout to letter sent to him to-
day by Mr.. Cutting, of the Citizens COM
mittee, demanding that he clearly define

tomorrow.
That there will be desperate strug-
