suit of the joint conference held in
Vancouver between the Canadian and

sions, the former body will prepare
an interim report of the proceedings

LABOR UNIONS Fight
STANDARD OIL TRUST

Chicago, Sept. 24.-The Chronicle
says:
Warfare between the Standard Oil
Company and the labor unions Of the
country was begun Friday night when
the Whiting. Ind, employees Of the
company quit work to enforce their
demand for an increase in wages. The
strike, which already threatens 10 tie
up the business Of the big corporation
in the Middle West, is likely to as.
sumo gigantic proportions before it is
ended.
1t was predicted last night it might
involve all the employees Of the com.
pany and become general strike. AL
ready the Chicago labor unions are
prepared to seize the opportunity pre-
sented by the Whiting strike to make
more trouble for the company.
The Chicago men we're wholly un-
prepared for the trouble, which start
ed at Whiting because of the fact that
the employees there were not members
of Union, but after hasty confer.
ence it was said that they would sup.
port the men who went out and that
no one from Chicago would take their
places.
Three hundred firemen employed by
the Standard Oil Company left their
places Friday. More than 5000 en-
ployes who are working with the fire
men are scheduled to go out in the
morning.
These include engineers, skilled me-
chanics, laborers and others. The
strike of the firemen was called be-
cause the representatives of the Stand
ard Oil Company refused to advance
wages from % y cents an hour to %
cents an hour and agree to grant to all
of the workmen the eight-hour day.
They also refused to recognize the
union.

Higgins Declines

Albany, N. Y. Sept. 25.-"I have
not sought and shall not accept re-

statement issued from the executive
chamber. This phrase closes a state

his reasons for refusing a renomina-

is in admirable condition, says:

Gov. Higgins says:

BY so doing have met opposition
from those who believe that governors
and legislators are safer public serv-
ants when they follow the guidance of
a party boss than when they think for
themselves and act on their own re-

The result of the contest in the
recent primaries for the principle of
executive independence has given
courage to all VINO believe that the
governor should not be the puppet of

LIFE IS TOO STRENUOUS
Reported that J. Ogden Armour Will

company, being DESTROYS, it is said, to
quit the turmoil Of business and take

very distasteful to Mr.. Armour. He
has an ample fortune, is already prom

continue to trouble with the now tur-
bulent affairs of the packing trade.

LIBERAL VICTORY
CUBAN LIBERALS ANNOUNCE AN
Agreement With TAFT.
Terms Not Announced, But Said
to Be Known that they Are
Not Favorable to Government.
New Elections for Senators and
Representatives Likely.

Havana, Sept. 25.-Victory for the
Liberals or revolutionary party seems
certain at the conclusion of long
conference between committee of the
insurgents of eight members and the
American peace commissioners.
The insurgent committee announced
that there was practically no differ
ence remaining between them and Sec
retaries Taft and Bacon and that they
would receive a draft of the peace
plans during the day. These proba-
bly, would be agreed to at a meeting
to be held in the presidio, where the
prisoner members of the commission
are confined.
Secretary Taft said he could give no
details of what TRANSFERRED at the con.
ference, as the publication of the
peace proposals might interfere with
their prompt acceptance.
An unsatisfactory conference was
then held at the palace between Presi-
dent Palma, Secretary of the treasury
Fonts Y. Sterling, Secretary of State
O'Farrill, Freyre Andrade, speaker Of
the lower house; Secretrvy of War
Taft and Mr.. Bacon, Consul General
Steinhart and Capt. Mccoy, when the
mediators called the attention Of the
Cuban administration to the status of
the peace negotiations with the Liber-
ais and insurgents The conference
adjourned at III O'Clock last night to
be resumed this morning.
Against the Government
The peace terms proposed are known
to be against the government. The
visit to the palace of the American
commissioners was therefore not par
ticularly pleasant. Upon departing
Secretary Taft announced that the
conference had resulted only in the
exchange of opinions and that another
meeting was necessary. The big doors
of the palace closed as usual at II
o'clock. but the president and men,
bers of the cabinet remained in con.
ference until long after that hour.
There is strong impression that
President Palma will remain and re-
organize the cabinet but that new
elections will be held for half the
senators and representatives-in other
words those who were elected last
year, and possibly also for provincial
officials.
