 the Gage. MILER's CASE THE CAUSE Republican Leaders Say They
 Are Ready. Roosevelt's Failure to Bow to the Edict of the Organization of
 Bookbinders May Result
 in Fierce Struggle.
MLLER's CASE THE CAUSE

Washington, July M--(SpeciaL) )-It looks as though organized labor means to nnd out just how 1t stands with the admin istration. The President has been plainly informed that his citation of his appoint ment of Clark, head of the Order of Rail- way Conductors, as one of the Coal Strike Commission, was not at all regarded by them as a recognition of organized labor.
 The decision of the bookbinders' union of the Government printing office to walk out unlesss the President recalls his re- instatement O. .5iller as assistant fore-s man of the binding room of the Govern ment printing office. promises to precipi- tate crisis that has been impending for years.
 It is coming soon in the question whether labor unions are to participate In the gov-. ernment of the Republic. The fight will be waged here in Washington and Con- gress will be called on to meet the issue boldly and squarely.
 Union Goes Too Far.
 There Is but little doubt that the local labor union has gone too far and has made a mistake in thus forcing the issue at this time It's members evidently took it for granted that because of the Presi- dents attitude in tine coal strike he would yield to their demands and cause Miller to be removed. They are beginning to realize their mistake. however.
 For soms time Congress has becn restlve under the demands of organized labor and many of the leading Republican states men will be glad of the opportunity to once for all shake off the incubus that has stood over them so threatenlngly for years.
 Representative Loud's defeat by the la bor unions. the organization of the rural free delivery carriers. and other acts of organized labor have caused public men in the service of the Government to open their eyes.As Mir.

In St. Louis.


 St. Louis July A.-The slump in New York stocks to-day, which resulted in the suspension of two large brokerage firms in New York caused much interest in the local offices, but as neither w. 1. Stow or Talbott J. Taylor have St. Louis connections. all local operators were not directly affected.
 w. l. Stow is a director of the Mexi- can Central, whose offices are in St. Louis, but Vice President Morgan, of the rail- road, says that the failure of MT. Stow will have no direct effect on the affairs of the road.
 No statement of Taylor & Comp1ny's s assets and liabilities has been made, but from the President of national bank 1t is learned that the liabilities may be well on to $6,000000.
 Eestimates of Stow & Conpany's liabil- tiles range from & ,250.000 to $2,50 100.
 Francis l.. Hine. Vice-President pf the First National Bank, said:

 Several prominent Englishmen. includ- ing Lord Hillingdon and Lord Revelstoke. were among the original trustees of the securities company.
 The appended statement was issued at the office of Taylor & Co. this evening: Talbot J. Taylor & Company this day executed a general assignment for the benefit of creditors to Philip J. Britt and he has accepted the assignment and has taken charge of the property and assets of the firm.
 The assignment of the firm Is due to their inability to liquidate the stocks which the banks held for their account. All banks having loans with them are well protected, but the inability to liqui- date the stocks so held has caused the suspension. which, 1t is hoped will be temporary, if the banks take the reason able view that, by waiting. gradual liqui- dation can be effected without disturbance to the stock market. The largest unse- cured creditor of the firm Is James R. Keene."
 Efforts to ascertain the amount of the firms indebtedness to MT. Keene were unsuccessful.
 The assignee is a prominent Tammany politician, and is we'll known as a close friend of MT. Keene.

AMERICAN DIPLoMACY.

A story told by the late Commander
Edward Barrett, U. S. N, shows that
plated ware when no longer useful for
mess purposes on warships can be de-
voted to the service of diplomacy. Ac-
cording to this story, some American
navy officers, wishing to conciliate an
African potentate named King Billy,
presented him with a discarded soup
ladle and lot of gay ribbons This
so delighted his dusky highness that
when he came aboard the ship to make
visit in state he wore the ladle tied
on the front of his ample person with
the variegated ribbons and also wore a
dilapidated stovepipe hat-Perch IN.
