 St. Petersburg, June 15.-Disorders appear to have broken out at Bialystok this afternoon with even greater fury than characterized Thursdays riots. No dispatches have been received to- night direct from Blalystok, where the telegraph office is closed but semi of flcial messages from Grodno and Minsk report that the excesses were started again to-day by the throwing of several bombs. The crowds, according to these dispatches, then opened fire on the po- lice station, to which the troops replied, and there was a constant interchange of shots between Jews in their houses and soldiers in the streets. A mob of peasants, armed with clubs, scythes, etc., who had found their way into the city Thursday, was participating in the rioting
 A dispatch from Minsk states that the authorities had been fully fore- warned of the possibility of trouble Thursday, and had recalled battalion of infantry and several squadrons of cavalry from their summer camp to strengthen the garrison, but without overawing the fonenters of trouble.
 Grodno, June 15.-Accordingto reports received here to-day from Bialystok, fusillading has continued throughout the city all day, Jews firing from the windows of their houses, the soldiers answering with volleys crowds of peas ants, armed with clubs and scythes, pillaging and beating Jews, and cav- airy patrols hunting down pillagers. The city has been cordoned in order to prevent the ingress of more peasants. Many persons are reported to have been wounded, but the number of dead is said to be comparatively small. Exact details of to-day's disturbances are lacking; but Thursdays pillaging is at tributed largely to peasants from the country.

Have Determined to Or
ganize a National Union,
Idea Is to Affiliate With Amer
lean Federation Of Labor.
Postmaster Busss Of Chicago Gees to Wash
Iagios to Discuss The Matter.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-Postmaster Fred
A. Buess Of Chicago will leave for
Washington today TO consult with the
authorities on the formation OF a IA
tipnal labor union of postal clerks in
affliation with the American Fedora
ton Of Labor.
The announcement made Monday
that such an organization had been
formed, caused surprise in government
circles. Mr.. Busse declared he had no
idea such step was contemplated by
the clerks.
IF the national union conducts its
business along the same lines as the
Chicago local had done in the past, it
is my personal opinion that there will
be no objection to It," said Mr.. Busse.
1.-THE union has been in existence in
Chicago for number Of years. Its Of
ficers from time to time have called
attention to certain grievances which
they have right to do and which we
have tried to remedy to the best OF
our ability. OF course, if the new union
follows the lines of some labor organ
iZations and attempts to set wages and
working conditions, there might posi-
bly, be hitch as the saws governing
the department are inffexible."
L. p. Coltra, president Of the Nation
al Federation of Postoffice Clerks. said
that the new union would not in any
way antagonize heads Of departments
nor act contrary to the csta blished
rules. There is nothing in our oath Of
allegiance to the government" he said,
"that forbids US joining a labor union
for our mutual benefit. We understand
that any improvement In our condition
must come through legislation and we
expect to have the support Of organ
lied 10 Dor in trying to secure such leg
islation.
IF we cannot directly appeal to Con-
gress on our own behalf. we mus do
so indirectly and this we expect to do
through the legislative committee of
the American Federation Of Labor and
Of the various central labor bodies
throughout the country. Talk Of defy
Ing President Roosevelt or striking
against the government is puerile and
had never been contemplated by US
