OPEN-sHOP PRINCIPLE
WILL BE APPLIED IN THE
POSTAL SERVICE.

The principle of the "open shop will be
applied to the postal service according to
decision reached at the department today
at a conference between Postmaster Fred
A. Busse of~Chicago and Acting Postmaster
General Hitchcock and Second Assistant
Postmaster General Shallenberger.
The visit of Postmaster Busse to this city
was brought about by the announcement,
recently made, of the proposed formation OF
q national labor union of postal clerks in
aff1liation with the American Federation OF
Labor.
The determination was reached today that
SO long as the postai clerks or other post
Office employees conform to the rules and
regulations of the Office and do not attempt
to coerce or in any way molest those who
do not enter the union there will be no OBJ
lection to the employees affiliating with la
Dor organizations. 1t expressly was stated,
however, that the department would afford
the fullest protection to those who for rea-
sons of their own do not see fit to join the
union.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, August 31.-Judge Al

day by the general council of the American
Bar Association as the nominee for presi-
dent of the association. No other nominees
for president were reported.
The presentation Of the name of Judge

Executive committee-Charles Monroe.
Los Angeles. Cal: Ralph Breckenridge,
Omaha, Nebr.; Rome G. Brown. Minneapo-
lis; Walter G. Smith. Philadelphia; Charles
F. Libbey, Portland, Me
The executive committee recommended in
its report that a two-thirds vote be neces-
sary for the approval of any legislation,
and then only after the report of a COM
mittee which has investigated the subject.
The association approved the recommends
tion that the association affiliate with the
movement to establish the Association In
ternationale des Advocats."
While there were number Of reports OF
committees left over from last nights ses-
sion of the American Bar Association, all
of which were subject to more or less In
teresting discussion, the report which has
been expected to develop a somewhat heat
ed debate was that of the committee on
insurance legislation.
An outline of the committees report was
given in these dispatches Wednesday night.
The principal difference of opinion is con-
cerning whether insurance is commodity
that can be governed by federal statute
regulating interstate commerce.
The majority report of the committee
holds that insurance is matter of inter-
state commerce. One member OF the COM
cannot regulate the sale Of insurance be-
tween states, and there are many members
Of the association who agree with him. fiIis
subject was called up under the head Of
unfinished business.

KAISER AND WITTE.
Correspondence Over Report of In
vitation to Berlin.

MOSCOW, August 31.-The Viedomosti,
the leader of the. reactionary press OF
Russia created a sensation today by print
ing correspondence exchanged between NJ.
Usefovich, who holds the rank of state
councillor and who is president of the mon
archical party of Kiev, and DR.. Won Miguel,
the German charge d'affaires at ST. Peters
burg.
From the letters printed it appears that
upon the publication of the recent report
that Emperor William had invited Count
Witte to Wilhelmshohe, NJ. Csefovich, in
the name of "all the factions of the Rus
sion monarchical party" telegraphed to the
German emperor expressing deep regret
that such a splendid monarch and head of
the friendly German people" should receive
"a man whom the whole Russian people re-
garded as being the guilty author of the
miseries into which the country was
plunged, and the provoker of the terrorism
inspired by hostility to the Jews, to whom
he Is friendly"
Several days later NJ. Usefovich accord
ing to the Viedomosti, received through DR..
Won Miguel a letter saying he had been
directed by the foreign secretary to say
was based on misapprehension, as Emperor
William had not received Count Witte and
had no intention of receiving him.
ST. PETERSBURG, August 31.-At the
the German charge d'affaires, Informed the
Associated Press that by direction of the
German foreign minister he had replied to
M. Usefovich, but, in a sense, his reply
had been distorted. He simply wrote that
the telegram of the menarchists was based
on an erroneous Impression and that En-
peror William had not made known to any
one his intentions regarding Count White.
