During the civil war Gems. Grant,

Gen. Robert f. Lee bade farewell tc

PRESIDENT MEETS
LABOR LEADERS
Decision Not to Dismiss NOn-Union
BOOkbinder Final.
NO DISCRIMINATION IN SERVICE

Washington, Sept 3O.-An import
ant conference took place at the White
House last night between President
Roosevelt and five members of the
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor, including Presi-
dent Gompers and Mr. Mitchell, head
or the Miners Union, during which
the case of Foreman w. A. Miller, of
the government printing Office, who
was dismissed because he had been
expelled from the local Boollbinders'
Union, and afterwards was reinstated
by direction of the president was the
principal topic of discussion. The con-
ference was granted at the request of
the labor leaders. The Miller case was
very fully presented by the members
OF the executive council, at the close
OF which the president made a state
ment, in which he announced that his
decision not to dismiss Miller was
nnal and that the question of his per-
sonal fitness must be settled in the
regular routine of administration. The
statement is as follows:
81 thank you and your committee
Tor your courtesy. and l appreciate
the opportunity to meet with you. 1t
will always be a pleasure to see you
or any representatives Of your Organi-
cations or of your federation as a

little to add to what have already
said. In dealing with it ask you to re-
member that I am dealing purely with

employees. | must govern my action

belong to a union as being for or

I'm the communications sent me by
various labor organizations protesting
against the retention of Miller in the
government printing office, the grounds
alleged are twofold: l. that he is a
non-union man; 2, that he is not per-

sonal fitness is one to be settled in
the routine of administrative detail
and cannot be allowed to conflict with
or to complicate the larger question OF
governmental discrimination for or

he is or is not a member of union
This is the only question now before

decision is final"

GENERAL UPRISING PROCLAIMED
Macedonian Peasants Are Joining the
insurgent Army.


Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 80. "A tele-
gram received here from the camp of
General ZOntcheff, the commander-in-
chief of the Macedonian insurgents, at
Bazlog, 80 miles from Sofia, announces
that a general rising was proclaimed
September % M the districts of BaZ-
log, Nevrokop, Demirhissar, Melnik
and Seres, and that all the insurgent
bands in Eastern Macedonia had re-
ceived direct orders to begin opera
tions.
The chief hope of the revolutionary
organizations now centers in the out
break in Eastern Macedonia, which is
expected to assume considerable pro-
portions, as the leaders there are all
officers of the Bulgarian reserve. This,
the sympathizers with the Macedonian
cause hope, will arouse a war feeling
in the Bulgarian army and force the
government to espouse the Macedo-
MAN cause.
Dispatches received here from va
rious sources say General Zontcheff
has been greeted everywhere with the
greatest enthusiasm, and that all the
peasants are flocking to his banner.
