Vienna, Sept. 30, The arrival OF the
,'zur here today was not marked by
the same popular enthusiasm that was
shown during the visit Of King Edward
and Emperor William. This was prob
ably due 70 the police and military pre-
cautions, as both sides OF the streets
were lined with infantry. cavalry and
artillery. while behind the hedge of SOL
diers was lire of polio efacing the
populace,
The emperor's reception. however,
was respectful. although not as enthu-
siastic as might have been expected.
The thoroughfares through which the
czar and Emperor Francis Joseph drove
on their way from the station to Scho-
enbrunn castle were effectively deco
rated, but the city proper showed al-
most no evidence OF welcome.
This may beacounted for by the fact
that the royal procession did not touch
the main section orf Vienna.

PARKS A PEACE MAKER.

Kansas City. Sept. sO.-samuel Parks
the walking delegate from New York,
waived his magic wand over the dele
gates to The annual convention of the
International Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers again today
and brought peace and harmony over
conditions that seemed only to portend
strife and split that might have meant
the disruption of the organization. The
victory for the New York leader was
the action of the convention in voting
almost unanimously to affiliate with
the American Federation Of Labor.
Another important action was the ad-
option of minimum road scale of $3.50
which will cover all territory not now
controlled by existing locals.
