TEXTILE WORKERS
ASK AID OF LABOR FEDERATION
FOR THE FALL RIVER
STRIKERS.

Lowell, Mass, Oct. 20.-The textile
workers of America in convention this
afternoon instructed the secretary to
wire President Gompers of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor Immediately
to levy an assessment on 100000
members of the Federation to aid the
Fall River strikers.
The refusal of the emergency COM
mittee to sanction the strike of Fall
River "slashers' who struck without
authority was sustained by the con-
Yention.
A resolution was adopted favOring
the restriction of immigration and
calling upon congress to enact a law
to that effect.
The resolution read: Whereas, The
great and increasing immigration of
people to our country from the con-
tinent of Europe, will unless restrict
cd, tend to lower the standard OF liv-
ing of the American, be it
Resolved, That we urge upon our
representatives in congress to enact
laws that will restrict the indiscrim-
mate and wholesale immigration to our
shores"

SERIOUS CRITICISM
OF ADMINISTRATION OF THE RUS
SIAN RED CROSS so.
CIETY.

London, Oct. 21.-Uondon Times.)-
The Times prints report from st.
Petersburg to the effect that the ad-
ministration of the Russian Red
Cross society in the far east has be-
come the subject of serious criticism.
Little confidence is expressed in the
management of the society and 1t is
charged that some Of the money given
the organization for the wounded SOL
diers never reached its destination.
Many charitable persons, the dis
patch says, prefer to make their own
arrangements, but even these do not
find the task an easy one. An asso-
citation Of mobiles wished to equip an
ambulance train for the war but when
the train was ready to start the requi-
site permission was repeatedly and In
explicably delayed. One of the mem
bers of the association went to st. Pet
ersburg and there he discovered that
the cause Of the trouble was certain
highly placed military official who
would not give the required permission
until he had received a substantial
douceur. This provided, the ambulance
train was permitted to proceed.

BALTIC FLEET
so UNsEAWoRTHY AS TO CAUSE
ALARM AMONG THE
CREWS.

Skagen, Denmark. Oct. IA part OF
the Russian Baltic fleet, which anchor
ed here yesterday morning, got un-
der way at 8 o'clock last night.
It is the general opinion here that IL
the conditions at Port Arthur did not
absolutely demand an attempt at
bringing relief. the feet would never
have started for the far east. It's ves-
sells are known to be unseaworthy TO
great extent and alarming dissatis-
faction prevails among the crew.
II is expected that the rest of the
vessels will proceed to the North Sea
today, after having landed the Danish
pilots.

occurred except an occasional inter-
change of shells.
| During the night of the eighteenth,
the center column of the right army
drove the Russians out of Tungkiafen,
but a small body of their infantry
subsequently re-opened hill in the
vicinity. 'a.
Near Fencbifau the Russians have
one brigade of the Northern Highland.
Desultory bombardments of the Japan

Russians have other forces in that re-
gion but no fighting has taken place.
