Unions Score President for Advocat-
ing the "Open Shop"
Alarmed by the crusade being waged
by employers associations for the right
to hire non.lnion men, delegates to the
Chicago Federation of Labor denounced
the "open shop" criticised President
Roosevelt for his defense of independent
workmen, and approved Of a plan to do
away with written wage agreements.
In a 9,000-word letter nominally friend
ly to President Roosevelt. but actually
adopting an attitude of correction toward
him the Chicago Federation Of Labor
Sunday went on record as declaring tnat
the exclusion of non-union workmen from
the government and other employ was
right under "stntute law, business expe-
diency and moral principle" Organizer
John Fitzpatrick struck a blow at the
''open shop" policy by introducing a re-
port advocating the abolition of all agree
ments between labor unions and employ
ers.
"Deliciocsly unaware of the hypocrisy
of the world Of finance" "honest and hu-
name, but uniformed" were some of
the clauses used to describe the Presi-
dent in the long letter of the open shop
committee.
It's opening paragraphs contained a
definite disclaimer of any wish to attack
Mr. Roosevelt, the blame for the chief
executives attitude in the Miller affair
being placed upon "a coterie of certain
well-known interests which are constant
" on guard around the White HOUSE."
The President was told that be fell into
error in his view Of the question because
Of that impetuosity for which we love
you"
The reading Of the letter before the
federation meeting occupied over an hour
and excited applause from the crowd Of
delegates.

Men, Women and Children Slain in
kRstoria Massacre.
Daest reports from Kastoria say the
city has been burned and that the mas
sacre of It's population ESTIMATED to have
numbered 10000 persons) was indescrib-
ably terrible The Turks slaughtered in
Discriminatory Bulgarians and Greeks.
A severe fight occurred at Ulavitza,
in the mountains of Kratovo, between
1000 Turks and 80 insurgents. 1t con-
tinued for eight hours. The insurgents
used bombs with deadly effect. About
100 Turks are reported to have been
killed and many were wounded. The in
surgents had two men wounded. A fight
is also reported to have taken place at
Rupelpaso, near Sores. Insurgent bands
recently surrounded and annihilated
whole company of Turks. The bands
then fed to the mountains. Three bat
talions of Turkish troops have been sent
from Salonica to pursue them.
A small band of peasant refugees, near
Presba, who were starving in the noun
tains. started 70 seek for food. At Naka-
letz they were met by Turkish soldiers,
who killed them all and horribly mutilat-
ed two women.
The German representative has adj
dressed a note to the Bulgarian govern
ment in accordance with declarations of
Russia and Austria saying that Bulgaria
cannot expect assistance from any power
in the event of war with Turkey, and
that the Austro-Hungarian reform plan
will be applied.
The Austrian representative. in insist
ing on the necessity for Bulgaria remain
ing calm, declared that if the principal
ity was p0werless to prevent the passage
of insurgent bands into Macedonia, Aus
tria and Russia would take note of her
powerlessness and charge Turkey to ex-
ercise her rights, defend her territory
against foreign incursions, and maintain
order in the interior.
The Bulgarian government, while
steadily proceeding with the partial mo
Utilization plans, is endeayoring to avoid
unnecessarily exciting the people, and
consequently has resolved not to mobil-
ize any part of the Sofa garrison.

Dark Lantern Currencv.

Secretary Shaw's currency scheme
bears the Wall street brand and should
be acceptable to the Republicans In
Congress, but 1t can hardly be that
President Roosevelt has approved it..
The President dotes on publicity, but
the Shaw scheme provides for secrecy.
and Wall street appears to have cap
tured both he and the President, for it
is impossible to believe that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury would publish his
scheme without it having been ap-
proved by the President The absurd
ity of the scheme Is exposed by the
New York World, which says:
THE chief merit of Secretary Shaw's
plan for an elastic or rubber-neck
currency, in the mind of it's author.
seems to be the secrecy with which its
proposed note issue could be manipu-
lated. The only persons he re
marks with pride, who would know
of its existence would be the Comp
troller. the bank and the few people
who would take sufficient interest in
the published statement of the bank to
compare the volume of circulation with
the amount of government bonds on
deposit in the treasury
The naivette of that Iowa idea"
almost disarms criticism. When Wall
street feyerishly watches for the week
ly bank statement and stocks fly up
or down in response to fiuctuation of
a few millions in the relative volumes
of loans and deposits, does Mr.. Shaw
seriously imagine that $500, 100000 of
new notes could be put out in the dark
without attracting attention except
from few persons whose idle curios-
ity led them to delve into volumes of
statistics?"
Secretary Shaw had better look out
on his periodical visits to Wall street
or the few lambs left there will be
nibbling at him, for he is the greenest
Secretary OF the Treasury we were
ever blest with.

A BOLD ROBBERY.
A Bold Daylight hoIdup in EIma Last Week
Robbsr in Jail.

Elma was the scene OF bold highway
robbery last Tuesday morning. Bart.
Tunney and a friend named O'Neil
started to 60 into the Gem saloon to have
a drink. At the door O'Neill threw a
revolver in the face of Tunney and or
dered him to give up $40. which the
whilom friend knew he had. Tunney,
with a gun at his heal looking as large
as stove pipe in calibre. gave up his
money.
Notwithstanding the threat of O'Neil
that he would kill him if he told of the
robbery, Tunney at once informed the
authorities. and in few minutes O'Neiil
was in the town bastile, with, it is to be
presumed, somewhat different views on
the subject Of "getting rich quick" He
waived examination before justice OF
the peace, and is now in the county jail,
in default of bail, to answer in the super
ior court.

What's in a Name?

Shakespeare made Juliet say "A rose,
by any other name would smell as sweet"
That these words are very true in the
case OF the rose, is not doubted, but it's
application to other things and condi-
tons is seriously questioned. For illus
tration: We know that all railroads
must have scenery, grand, monotonous
or Indifferent, but when the Columbia
River Scenery" on the o. r. & N. is
mentioned, the traveller will tell you that
it is different from any he has yet seen.
All highways pass thriving villages,
but, when the interesting and renowned
Utah cities, Ogden and Salt Lake, OH the
o. S. l.. Ry.; Cheyenne, Denver, Omaha
and Kansas CITY, on the Union Pacific,
and names of numerous other cities on
this great railroad system, are thought Of,
comparison does not compare.
Again, all railway lines run trains, but
when the famous "Portland-- Chicago
Special" running daily via the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Co., Oregon Short
Line and Union Pacific, is brough: to the
attention it is known at once that it il
the finest and fastest train across the
Continent. There is none like it.

THE OIL WAR OF '72.
Miss TarbeIls Third Standard Oil Paper in
McClure's.

McClureS.
The third paper of Miss Tarbell's His
tory of Standard Oil, which appears in
the January McClure's, tells the story OF
"The Oil War of 1872" and tells it as no
great industrial battle has ever been told
before. The Oil War OF 1877. was war,
and when Miss Tarbell has finished, one
realizes that it was magnificent, too. 1t
is the first great crisis In the drama. For
the first time in our industrial histo)y y
combination and competition are pitched
against each other on a grand scale. MISS
Tarbell tells how the oil regions-the
producers and independents-wo!.e up
one morning to find the enemy upon
them-a gigantic coalition bearing down
on all sides; from the north, John d.
Rockefeller, with all the strength OF his
recently assimilated Cleveland refineries !;
from the south, capitalists Of Pittsburg
and Philadelphia, allied under the hated
name of the "South Improvement Com.
pany;" and back OF both-the source OF
their union-the railroads with their re-
bates. That is the situation at the be.
ginning of the article. Read it through,
and you will see how background for
battle scenes can be built up out Of re.
bates and schedules and contracts, and
other of the instruments and appliances
of peace. Miss Tarbell's History OF
Standard Oil is, perhaps, the best reading
that any magazine is giving us today.

COMMONER FOR 1908.
William J. Bryan's Paper and the semi.weekly
HERALD.

The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan's paper,
will be especially interesting and in
structive during the present session Of
congress. The action of this congress
will probably determine the issues upon
which the next presidential campaign
will be fought. The Commorer propose s
to carry on campaign Of education and
organization to the end that democratic
principles may triumph.
In addition to the editorial depart
ment, which receives Mr.. Bryan's per-
sonal attention, The Commoner contains
a Current Topic department, wherein a
non. tisan discussion of topics Of
timely interest and other valuable lnfor-
nation will be found. The Home
Department is conducted by an expert
enced woman who is widely known as a
writer of household topics and who is an
authority on the art OF cooking in all
that the term implies. This department
alone is worth the subscription
price The other departments OF the
paper are all interesting and ably con-
Quoted, among which is summary Of
the worlds news told in narrative style,
and Maupin's Observation-Disclosures
Common or Not-contains original anec-
dotes and wit, moral lessons in homely
phrase and verse, and appeals to old and
young alike.
The Commoner as a whole is clean,
entertaing and instructive, and its rapid
increase in circulation-now amounting
to l4O,OOO-is proof of the papers
strenet tn and influence.
Arrangements have been made with
Mr.. Bryan whereby The Commoner can
be supplied at very law rate with the
Semi Weekly Aberdeen HERALD, both
papers for one year for 1925. This offer
applies to both new and renewal sub
scriptions, and should be taken advan-
tage of without delay. All orders should
be sent to the Aberdeen HERALD office.
