In view of the publicity given this
subject, the Executive Council of the
American Federation of Labor takes this
opportunity to say that the trade union
movement stands for strictly union shop,
experience having proved that where the
"open shop" system has been tried, re-
duction in wages and profits have ensued,
with general disaster to the industry prae-
ticing that system and therefore, declares
the best interests of the labor move
ment call for the employment of union
workers and discourages in every way,
shape and form the deteriorating effects
which follow the recognition of the "open

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.

Parks Makes Peace.
(By the Associated Press.)

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept 30-Samuel
Parks, walking delegate from New York,
today waved his magic wand over the
delegates to the annual convention of the
International Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers and brought
peace and harmony out of conditions that
seemed only to portend strife and split
that might have meant disruption of
the organization. Before the convention
convened the followers of President Buch-
anan intimated strongly that they would
withdraw if money We're voted to local
No. 2, of New York. Later, after Parks
had addressed the delegates they voted
$1,000 on a loan from the organization.
Practically no opposition to the appropria-
tion was displayed.
Another victory, in a way. for the New
York leader, was the action of the con-
vention in voting almost unanimously to
affiliate with the American Federation of
Labor.
Despite reports that an unfavorable
report would be made on the annual re-
port of President Buchanan, the commit
tees report as presented was favorable to
the President. 1t was adopted.

The Brown Army Victorious
(By the Associated Press


Camp Young, West Point, KY, Sept.
S0.-The brown army apparently came off
victorious today in what proved by far
the most exciting and dashing Vancouver
of the series of three, ending today To-
days work ends the field work designed
for regular troops exclusively. Tomorrow
the State troops<will begin pouring in and
on Friday as many as have established
camp will be combined with the regulars
for the first of the series of big events.
No more interesting spectacle than to-
days manoeuvers, even for civilian
could have been arranged. For the first
time since the manoeuvers 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 other.
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 reinforcements
and in turn assumed the offensive, while
the brown was retiring.
The blue advance guard went out swift
ly and established outposts in a well COW
cred position along two roads running
east and west.
Major Myers, in command of the brown
rear guard, after feeling out the position,
directed his attack in three parallel col
umns. A little brush at the blues right
was followed by swift cavalry movement

| New York, Sept. 30.-There is no rift to-

vention tomorrow night. That the names

the fusion slate and the Republican and
Citizens Union conventions reconvened &c

construction OF Senator Platt and the
leaders of the Republican and Citizens
Union organizations generally.
Much depends on what reply is made by
Mr.. Grout to a letter sent to him today
by Mr.. Cutting OF the Citizens Union, de-
manding that he clearly define his posi-
ton. CIRCUITS reply is expected tomorrow.
That there will be a desperate struggle
in the Democratic convention between
Tammany and the Kings county delega
ton appears certain. The executive com
mittee of the latter organization met to-
night and made it plain that, although the
nomination of Mcclellan may be accept
ed, those of Grout and Fornes will be
contested to the uttermost.
District Attorney Jerome announced to-
day that his address at the beefsteap din
ner given by T. j. Campbell last night,
had been misinterpreted and that he had
no idea of conveying the suggestion that
ne could by any possibility give his sup
port to Tammany
1t appears practically certain that the
candidates that will be nominated by. the
Democrats in convention tomorrow night,
have been selected. They are:
George B. Mcclellan, for mayor,
Edward M. circuit, for comptroller; Charles
" Fornes for president of the board of

A Leaf From German History

New York, Sept. 30.-Some unpublished
history of value and many interesting
side lights upon modern history and mis-
toric figures appear in the memoirs of
De Elowitz. journalist and diplomat In
his memoirs, which are to be published
tomorrow by Doubleday, Page and Com
pany, De Blowitz gives a heretofore I'M
published interview with Bismarck, read
in 1876 which is valuable contribution
to the literature relating to the Iron
Chancellor. Bismarck said:
THE peace of San Stefano was one of
the most thoughtless actions of modern
history. Ignatieff made a blunder which
no true statesman would ever have COM
mitted. He took everything that he caul
get. We should not be where we now
are if in 1856 1 had acted like Ignatieff,
if l had taken territory from Austria.
When we were victorious, every one
wanted me to take territory from her. I
held my own, though, and since then 1
have often had cause to congratulate
myself that 1 did so.
I'm 1871 l acted in the same way. If
had acted like Ignatieff ! should have
demanded Picardy and Champagne Now
this never occurred to any one; and when
/ was urged to take Belfort and Metz,
refused. But, as you know, at the con-
clusion of a campaign such as that was,
one has to take into consideration the
military element, and l was obliged to
listen to Won Moltke, who kept repeating
to me ats every hour of the day Metz
in our hands, or in Nhe hands of the
French, means a difference of 100000
