wind blew and intermittent showers
fell during the afternoon.
The Friday morning weather chart

STRATTON MAY BALK
MONTGOMERY MAN SURPRISED AT
HIS NOMINATION.
Choice Of Republican Faction for Gus
bernatoriai Candidate May Not
Accept the Honor Thrust
Upon Him.

Judge Asa E. Stratton,- of Mont
gomery. Referee in Bankruptcy of the
United States Court, nominated In Bir-
mingham Thursday by a mass meet
ing of Republicans for Governor OF
Alabama, may not accept the honor
thrust upon him.
This doubt as to the acceptance of
the honor by the Republican nominee
does not come from him. but his Mont
gomery friends do not believe he Will
be willing to lead the forlorn hope
for the Republicans, in the November
election.
Judge Stratton was not in Birming-
ham TO attend the mass meeting. In
deed. there were no Montgomery Re-
pubIicans at the meeting, although 1t
Is known that number of the local
party men sympathize with the insur-
gents, the men who have broken from
the domination of the party organiza-
ton in Alabama, which is led by Jo-
seph @. Thompson of Birmingham.
81 do not care to discuss the action
of the Birmingham meeting said
Judge Stratton in his office yesterday.
until / have been notified officially of
my nomination at the head OF the
ticket"
The first intimation the Montgoul-
cry man had of his nomination for
Governor by the Republicans he re-
eefved from reading The Advertiser
yesterday morning. No message came
to him yesterday and he said he
might embarrass his friends If he said
anything for publication about the
Birmingham meeting.
Close friendS of Judge Stratton de-
clare that he was surprised at the
action of the Birmingham mass meet
ing. He is in cordial sympathy with
the opposition to the party organiza-
ton in Alabama, but he believes there
are men who feel like him who are
more deserving of party honor. 1t Is
known that If Judge Stratton had
been consulted, he would have advis-
ed the nomination of F. g. Bromberg
of Mobile, Walter /. Wellman Of
Huntsville or James Bowron of Birm-
ingham.
These friends Of Judge stratton de-
clared yesterday that he was not very
welt and that he would not under
take to make a canvass Of the state.
1t IL expected tht Judge Stratton
will be officially notified today of the
action of the Birmingham mass meet
ing. Then he will give out state
ment of his course of conduct.

strike on the part of leaders of the work

for the failure of more men to strike.
The employees OF several of the mills have
openly refused to join the strike.
Numerous meetings were held yester.
day at which the strike situation was
discussed, but no definite resolutions for
the guidance of the strikers were adopted.
The authorities are doing everything in
their power to break the strike. The

for striking. At the Apraksin market

TOday's Telegraphic News
To Right Labor Unions In Politics.

New York, Aug. 6.-The challenge
issued by Samuel Gompers in his recent
announcement from Washington that
the American Federation of Labor is
to become an organized political
party and to take an active part in the
coming national campaign, and in
his appeal for $4,000, 600 fund for
the defeat of blacklsed congressman
has been promptly accepted 10 state
ment made public here yesterday by
the Citizens Industrial Association, the
organization which is conducting the
fight for the open shop. The citizens
association is equipped with national
organization, and has affiliated bodies
in practically every congressional dis
trict. 1t proposes to join ISSUE with
the labortes all along the line.
Wherever the labor unions make u
fight against the reelection of Con-
gresham, as Mr.. Gompers has au-
nounced that they will do in the case
of Speaker Cannon, Congressman
Little6eld of Maine, Mccall Of Massa-
VI w ioIOuoint AJaA
tholdt of Missouri and a number of
other leaders who have declined 10
support measures advocated by the
unions, the citizens association will
take part in the fight. The statement
issued by the association yesterday
through its President, Mr. C.. w. Post,
is addressed "to the IS 900, 900 citizens
not members of the labor unions" and
says that the labor union movement in
politics is one of opposition to candi-
dates selected to represent the interests
of the common people, but opposed to
the selfish interests of the labor trust"
The address concludes as follows:
owe particularly invite attention to
the attack on the congressman who re-
fused to assist in passing the Infamous
measure of anarchy, the anti-injunction
bill, bill proposed by the labor unions
10 tie the hands of the courts and thus
permit property to be destroyed and men
assaulted before the courts can act. Such
a condition of affairs il is thought by the
labor trust would allow them to terrOrize
the community and permit their mem
bers free license to commit violence with
out restraint, but il can be seen that an
absence of restraining law could as well
be used by capital trusts if they should
see ft to hire men to attack members Of
the labor trust or blow up their
homes in like manner as the labor
unions now operate. This would be a
condition of no law, or anarchy, a re-
turn to barbarism not favorable to pre-
sent day civilization. Citizens OF all
classes must act in defense of their lib
critics and constitutional rights and ac-
lively interest themselves to elect their
own representatives. There are rs, 000,-
600 common citizens IA compared with
about 1000, GOO members of the labor
trust, many of whom unwilling mem
beers and are at heart patriotic citizens
with desire for the upholding of law
and order and who will not vote to place
further power in the hands of the labor
trust leaders. The interests of the great
majority, ihe common people, must be
conserved aud protected by the election
of their own Representatives whether
they be democrats or republicans.

New York, Aug. 6.-Judge Otto ROs-
alski in the court of general sessions,
today, instructed the August grand jury
to investigate the alleged ice trust and
to return indictments in case there is
evidence of conspiracy on the part of the
"ice barous," to explain the increase in
the price of ice. The instructions were
offered at a time when New York is suf-
tering from the worst hot spell of the
season and when the greatest suffering
has resulted among the poorer classes
because the high price of ice makes it an
almost prohibitiye luxury among the
tenement dwellers.
