POLITICAL TEXT BOX.


American Federation of Labor Tells
Worlmen How to Vote.
Washington, Sept, 26.-The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor today issued
its political text book for the pending
campaign.
The publication is a pamphlet of
thirty-eight pages and consists of a
republication of 'Labors bill of grew
ances" of last March: an explanation
of the origin and purpose of the fed
GRAFTON, together with a history of
its efforts to secure legislation; his
tory of the use of the power of injunc-
tion in the United States courts; an
explanation of the eight hour law; a
discretion on convict labor and an
announcement of the campaign.
Under the last mentioned head is the
following recommendation:
I'VE recommend that central bodies
and local unions proceed without de-
lay by the election of delegates to
meet in convention to formulate plans
to further the interests of this move
ment and at the proper time and in
the proper manner nominate candi-
dates who will unquestionably stand
for the enactment into law of labor
and progressive measures. The first
concern of all should be the positive
defeat of those who have been hostile
or Indifferent to the just demands of
labor A singing rebuke to them will
benefit not only the toilers but the
people of the entire country.
wherever both parties ignore Ia
bor's Legislative demands straight
labor candidate should be nominated;
that honest men may have the OPP
portunity in exercising their franchise
to vote according to their conscience
instead of being compelled either to
refrain from voting or to vote for the
candidate and the party they must In
their innermost souls despise.
"Where a Congressman or State
Legislator has proven himself a true
friend to a laborer he should be sup
ported and no candidate nominated
against him.
i wherever 1t is apparent that an en-
ttrely independent labor candidate can
| not be elected, efforts should be maze
to secure such support by endorse
lment of candidates by the minority
party and by such other progressive
elements we will encourage the cleo
ton of labor representatives.
Attention is called to the recent
election of ffty-four trade unionists
to the British parliament and Amer.
| Hcan workingmen are advised thai
they are Just as capable of serving
the country in a legislative capacity
as are their fellows across the water
The Inauguration of this program
is attributed by the text book to tbs
failure Of the President and Con-
gress to give proper consideration t0
the "bill of grievances.
The membership of the Federatiop
| "a placed at 100000.

CHIEF TAYLOR BACK
POLICE EXECUTIVE TALKS OF
SITUATION IN ATLANTA.
Soldiers and City PatrOImen Have the
Georgia Metropolis Under Control
and No Further Trouble In Ex-

Chief of Police w. II. Taylor of the

two days in Atlanta, studying the con-
ditions there following the recent riot

and looking into the methods pur-
sued in the efforts of the authorities
there to quell the disturbances. return

is his opinion that the rioting Is now
over.
The military has control of things
in good shape" 6Aid Chief Taylor to
representative of The Advertiser. "and
l do not believe there will be any
further trouble The streets all over
the city are patrolled by the militia
men even out in the outskirts. and
conditions are becomingg much more
quiet than they have been.
THE people, both black and white,
are returning to their work. and the
city is resuming something of its nor
NAL appearance. All of the saloons
have been closed, by order of the au-
thorities. and barber shops and places
of that kind have also been closed

large numbers of people on the streets.

Martial law has not been declared

to be acting largely in the capacity
of special officers, assisting the regu-

In this work the militia companies
have proven OF great value.
The police in Atlanta, says Chief
Taylor, have been doubled in numbers,
and every member of the force there
carries a Winchester rifle when pat
rolling his beat.
| In speaking of the means taken to
| beat back the mobs, Chief Taylor said
that the calling out of the fire depart
ment to clear the streets of people by
| using the fire hose, which was resort

| of any avail, and the fire department
| was not again called upon. The use
of the hose efectually cleared tht
streets upon which the firemen were
working, but the mob was simply driv-

seeming to dampen its ardor in the
least.
There were 10000 people engaged In
the rioting on Saturday night, so Chiel
Taylor was told In Atlanta. and TINS
regular police force unassisted as II
was by the militia, was entirely un'
able to cope with such a crowd. Bu'

TAKE BACK WATER
of Taft Calls Blur of Pal
mas Adherents and Chances For
Peace Seem To BE
Improved.

Havana, Sept 2s--The government
party today abandoned it's basic conten-
ton that It is impossible to treat for
peace with armed rebels. and proposed
to negotiate with a committee OF Its
opponents.
It is agreed to leave all disputed
points to the final arbitration of Secre-
taries Taft and Bacon. The govern
ment first suggested that 1t would treat
with the liberals II they would lay down
their arms, but the American Commits
sioners ruled this stipulation unfair. and
the moderate representatives accepted
this view.
Secretary Taft was greatly pleased
and made the following statement for
publication:
MY Impression is that we are much
nearer a solution OF the trouble tonight
than we were last night.
It was announced also that the nego-
tiations TO be opened between the COM
mittees would be without reference to
the terms previously proposed, The
time and place for the first meeting Is
10 be determined by Secretary TAFT to-
morrow -
n is beyond question that both
parties were brought to moro trart-
able frame Of mind by the verbal ulti-
matum issued by Messrs. Taft and
BACON today in the name OF President
Roosevelt that unless they consented
to fair arbitration the United states
would compel It with a temporary
military occupation.
Such an occupation. It was declared
would not mean American sovereignty
II would continue only until new
elections had been held. the new gov
vernment formally established AM
order restored. Within an hour after
the receipt of this the moderate as
sembly agreed at the end of stormy
session to the suggestion of treating
with the liberals. The conservatiVe
moderates threatened the disruption OF
tho party unless the radicals consented
to treat with the American commits
sion and this also is believed to have
had an important bearing upon the
decision.
It is understood tonight that Pres
ident Palma does not intend to with
draw his resignation but II is predict
ed that congress will table II indifin-
itely. The decree converting congress
Friday to act upon the resignation OF
the president and others was issued
today.
