Sault Ste Marie, Mich, Sept. 3d.
Mounted infantry and detachments of
the Canadian militia are tonight ,pat-
rolling the Canadian 800" at points
where officers of the Consolidated Lake
Superior Company have feared trouble
by possible acts of the large number of
discharged employees, but absolute
quiet prevailed
About three hundred men who had
been detained in the woods at Wilde
for several days. arrived on the Algona
Central Railroad tonight in charge of
the soldiers sent there this morning.
The men received their pay checks,
were given checks for several meals and
departed without causing trouble.
Col Buchan, in command of the
troops, tonight ordered twenty-five
soldiers to guard the dynamite maga-
zine of the company several miles from
the city. Col. Buchan, confident that
the seriousness of the situation is prac-
tically over, tonight said he would
probably order a number of the sol
diers back to Toronto tomorrow
There are several hundred men whom
the company has yet to bring in, in
Guiding a number beyond Wilde. They
will be given their pay slips and will
be provided with several meals, but
will be notified by the municipal au-
thorities or the company officials that
they will receive no assistance in the
future, and will be advised to accept
employment which is being offeSed
elsewhere. Numbers of the discharged
men already have left for other parts.

Desperate Struggle on Between
Tammany and King County De-
mOcracy.
New York, Sept. 30.-There is no rift
tonight in the impenetrable fog in
which local politics were plunged by
the determination of Charles F. Muir
ply to place Controller Grout and
President Fornes on the Tammany
ticket and the implied intention of
the two fusion candidates to accept
the nominations. What the solution
of the difficulty will be no one can
at present predict and no clearing up
appears likely until the meeting of the
Tammany convention tomorrow night
That the names of Grout and Fornes
must be wiped off the fusion slate and
the Republican and Citizens Union
conventions roconvened to name other
candidates is the expressed conviction
of Senator Platt and the leaders Of
the Republican and Citizens Union
organizations generally.
Much depends upon what reply is
made by Mr.. Grout to a letter sent to
him to-day by Mr.. Cutting, of the
Citizens Union, demanding that he
clearly define his position. CIRCUITS re-
That there will be a desperate strug-
gle in the Democratic convention be-
tween Tammany and the Kings county
delegation appears certain. The Execu
tive Committee of the latter organiza-
ton met tonight and made it plain
that although the nomination of Nc
Clellan may be accepted, those of Grout
and Fornes will be contested to the ut

District Attorney Jerome announced
to-day that his address at the beef
steak dinner given by T. j. Campbell
last night had been misinterpreted, and
that he had no idea of conveying the

1t appears practically certain that
the candidates that will be nominated
by the Democrats in convention to-
morrow night have been selected They
are: George b. Mcclellan for mayor;
Edward NJ. Grout, for controller;

UNION LABOR MEN
ISSUE AN ADDRESS.
Say President Roosevelt FavOrs
Union shop.

ohOps
Washington, Sept SO.-The executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor tonight issued an address to
organized labor, which advocates the
eight-hour day, opposes abuse by the
courts of the writ of injunction and
strongly asserts the principle of the
union shop.
The address describes the recent con-
ference with President Roosevelt, quot
ing the President as favoring the eight
hour bill. In the conference, saws the
address, the open shop" idea was
carefully considered.
The address continues: Replying.
TO statements on the subject, Presi-
dent Roosevelt set forth that i'm his
decision he had nothing in mind but a
strict compliance with federal, inciud-
ing civil service law, and that he
recognized a difference between en-
ployment by the government circum-
scribed by those laws, and any other
form of employment, and that his de-
cision in the Miller case should not be
understood to have any other effect or
lnnuence than affecting direct employ
ment by the government in accordance
Herewith.
lie furthermore made plain that In
any form of employment excepting that
so circumscribed, he believed the full
employment of union men was prefer
able either to non-union or open
shop
In view of the publicity given this
subject, the executive council of the
A f. or L. take this opportunity to say
that the trade union movement stands
for strictly union shop, experience hav-
ing proved that where the open shop
system has been tried, reduction in
wages and profits have ensued, with
general disaster to the industry prac-
ticing that system, and therefore de.
clares that the best interests of the La.
Dor movement calls for the employment
OF union workers and discourages III
every way, shape and form the deter
iorating effects which follow recogni.
ton of the open shop"
The address argues that the success
or agreements with employers depends
on the complete organization of labor
for only an organized body can carry
into execution such an agreement.

Kansas City, Mo, Sept. 30.-Samuel
Parks, walking delegate from New
York, to-day waved his magic wand
over the delegates to the annual con-
vention of the International Associa-
ton of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers and brought peace and har-
mony out of conditions that seemed
only to portend strife and a split that
might have meant a disruption of the
organization.
Before the convention convened the
followers of President Buchanan init
mated strongly that they would with
draw if money were voted to Local No.
2 of New York. Later, after Parks
had addressed the delegates, they voted
81, 900 on a loan from the organic stion.
Practically no opposition to the appro-
priation was displayed.
Another victory, in a. way, for the
New York leader was the action of the
convention in voting almost unanimous
ly to affiliate with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
Despite reports that an unfavorable
report would be made on the annual
