Chief Harris Says Firemen Should YOt
Join Labor ORGANIZATIONS.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. Sept. 1O.-The
International Association of Chief Fire En-
gineers at to-day's session recalled the
paper submitted by Chief A. ]. Harris, of
Tampa, Fla, entitled Should Firemen Be-
come Members of Labor Unions" which
the board of directors shelved on account
of the severe attack on unions. 1t was
spread on the minutes, thereby gaining the
approval of the convention
Chief Harris said: The moment the
fireman becomes a labor unionist he ceases
to be a true and trusted fireman. Con-
slider the fireman bound by the strict rules
of organized labor The result is horrible
to contemplate. Our hazardous experience
i'm Tampa taught all those who watched
the conflict with unprecedented eyes that
the limit of labor unionism had been
reached when it seeks to enter the fire
service. There are many reasons why fire.
men should not be unionized. Politics in
fire department is bad enough, but labor
unionism is infinitely worse"

Turkish Governor General from Da-
mascus Has Restored Confidence.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1o-The Navy De-
partment has received a cablegram from
Rear Admiral Cotton, dated Beirut, stat
ing that the arrival of the Turkish gov
ernor general from Damascus has restored
confidence. The governor general has
warned the local authorities that he will
hold them responsible for disturbances.
Admiral Cotton says that the city was
quiet Tuesday night and business improv-
ing.
Minister Leishman cabled the State De-
partment from Constantinople that the
French ambassador has demanded the re-
moval of the governor of Beirut and that
other foreign representatives probably will
do the same. Mr.. Leishman Is vigorously
urging the Sublime Porte to replace the
governor by some one more capable OF
preserving order and of giving more eff
ficient protection to American citizens and
interests In this course he has the ap-
prevail of the State Department. Nothing
is said in his cablegIam OF further disor-
ders at Beirut
Minister Leishman also transmitted to the
State Department communication from
Consul Ravndal at Beirut, in which the
latter said that the situation there was
quieter. Many shops, he said, were stiii
closed. but the people were getting over
the scare of Sunday. The text of the dis
explained that this was all the news that
IL conveyed relative to conditions at Bel
rut. All of Admiral Cotton's communica-
lions TO the Navy Department are promptly
sent to the State Department.
Mr.. Leishman cabled to-day that he has
secured the release of Abdul Kader Math-
aney, a naturalized citizen of the United
States, born at Tripoi, Syria, who soon
after returning to his native country in
1901 committed an cffense for which he was
sentenced by the consular court of the
United States at Beirut to a term of six
months in the Smyrna Jail. In the early
part of the current year he was arrested at
Tripoli and condemned by the local court
for the same offense, to three and half
years Imprisonment. Minister Leishman
promptly protested against the violation of
the rights of an American citizen.
