RUSSIAN DUMA IS IN SESSION
Progressive Work on Big Reforms
Confidently Expected.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 2S.-The Rus

the autumn session. which promises to
be the most fruitful since the reestab-
lishment of the duma. A number of
important reforms. which were in the
committee stage in the preceding ses-
sion, are now ready for immediate con-
sideration in the lower house; others
are far advanced, and since the dan
gers threatening their predecessors
have now been fully dissipated. the
legislators can attack their task with
the certainty of carrying it to success
full completion.
The duma will be occupied for a
long time with the discussion OF the
budget.
Priority will be given to two meas.
ures connected with the agrarian prob
lem. namely, the law permitting the
dissolution of commune and the trans
fer of lands to individual ownership,
which was proclaimed as temporary
measure in the interval between the

REAL LABOR LEADERS POSITION UNMISTAKABLE;
INFLUENCES over THOSE DESERVING FOR TAFT

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-The republican
papers announced Sunday with more
or less display that W. D. Ryan, secre-
tary of the United Mine Workers,
would support Judge Taft for the
presidency. There are something like
half dozen labor leaders of promi-
|nence who have turned their backs
on President Gompers, John Mitchell
and other officials of the American
Federation of Labor, in their decision
to support a democratic national
ticket. The reputation of the cause
of labor by these trusted representa-
tives of that organization has given
much comfort to republicans, but this
desertion of great cause has had
the effect of making workingmen
more solid in the support of Mr. Bryan.
The men in high places who have
deserted the cause of labor have been
approached in different ways. The
president has captured some with of.
/ flee, and others with fiattery, while
trust interests have enlisted their
share. Mr.. Ryan of the United Mine
Workers has an heir on the payroll

any other man is responsible for the
defeat of labor's legislative program.
Every month Mr.. Ryan's son draws
a fat check from the federal govern
ment as an employe in the postoffice
bureau of the house of representa-
tives. The defeat of Speaker Cannon
and the election of democratic house
would mean the removal of the son
of the secretary of the United Mine
Workers from the federal payroll.
Naturally, Mr.. Ryan is in favor of the
election ofIJudge Taft, Speaker Cam
non and the other avowed enemies
of labor who held high places in the
republican party.
But a man whose heart is against
the people who give him power has
