TAFT AND SHERMAN
 PULL IN TWO WAYS
While the Former Makes Frantic Appeals For Support Of Union Labor the Latter Gives Silent Endorsement To Islanders Directed To the Same
 Class Of Voters
Class Of Voters

Chicago, October 5-(Specal. )-While William H. Taft is travelling about Ohio and elsewhere, making frantic appeals for the support of laboring men, his run ming mate on the republican ticket, James S. Sherman, is giving his indorsement to the statement that Tabor unions are composed largely of anarchists socialists and demagogues" MT. Sherman heard the organized wage workers of the coun- try thus denounced by trust magnate, who presided at meeting where he spoke, and gave approval to the senti- mentl expressed
 When MT. Sherman appeared recently at Akron. O., the meeting which he ad- dressed was presided over by o. C. Bar Der, the president of the Diamond match trust MT Barber introduced MT. Sher man to the audience. In doing so he made use of the following language, as stenographically reported: Tn our plant at Barberton, $50 employees are today pro- ducng as many matches as 5000 men did in S6 factories a score of years ago, when the corporation was formed. Each sue ceeding year in the history of the organ ization more money has been made. AL though the cost of raw material and labor has been increased, labor-saving devices and increased demands have made the earnings of the corporation greater.
 To-day our Barberton plant produces 60 per cent more matches than all the fac tories combined at the time of the com bination One of the main reasons for the success of the Diamond Match com pany is that its directors have never tol-

be issued on the return of the ministers here.
 The Vremye, ministerial organ, in q bellicose mood, says that Bulgaria pre- fers to shed her blood for independence rather than pay compensation to Turkey.
 St. Petersburg, October 15.-A further important detail of the discussions be- tween M 1swolsky, Russian foreign min ister, and Barn Von AehrenthaL the Aus trian foreign minister, at the interview at Buckau has been learned Baron Von Aehrentha broached the question of the Dardanelles and offered to support the Russian wishes with regard to the straits in return for Russia's acceptance of the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovna.
 Since the powers have practically swung around to this point of view Russia is ready to claim fulflllment
 Constantnople, October 15.-Disturbed by the news of Bulgaria's military activity, the porte has instructed the Turkish rep resentatives abroad to call this matter to the attention of the powers and to state also that Turkey will decline to take the responsibility should Bulgaras per sistenee in her present attitude result in hostilitieS.

SITUATION IN THE
 NEAR EAST QUIET

Paris, October 15.-There is much satis- faction in government circles over the conclusion as announced today from Lon don of programme for the international conference that is to settle the existing Balkan difficulty. The accuracy of the London announcement of this programme is confirmed officially here.
 Foreign Minister Pichon, however, points out that Great Britain, France and Russia will attempt to foist their own ideas on the other signatores of the Der In treaty whose approval Vdll be asked before Russia issues the formal invita- ticns. "We do not desire that the powers be divided into groups" B. Pichon said. 'Europe must affirm it's moral unity and to this end this must be unanimous, equit- able and cordial accord. France has done what she could to arrive at this result. and without ulterior motives she will con- tinue to be concliatory agent"
 Continuing, the foreign minister said that France was particularly gratified that this crisis had been the means of cementing the Franco-Anglo-R Russian en- tente.
 The. Temps this afternoon expresses it's hearty satisfaction over the prospect that the forthcoming conference will not be a field of conflict among the powers.

erated union labor in it's shops They have always been open. We have had no one to dictate to us what wages we shall hours our employees shall work Labor unions today are composed largely of an- archists, socialists and demagogues.
 Tt is not the monopolies that stand against the advancement of the country; they are the public benefactors. They are responsible for the advancement of the wages. We hear much about the classes and the masses The greatest number of organized laborers Samuel Gompers ever had under him was 100000. This Is a country of SO,0OO, GOO of people. The union men are therefore the classes and the re- mainder are the masses. And it is the classes that are the real tyrants of the country. They resort to violence to gain their end and they always cling to violent principles"
 This was the speech of MT. Barber, president of the match trust introducing the republican candidate for vice presi- dent. MT. Sherman sat beside the trust magnate and listened attentvely to his denunciation of organized labor and his laudation of combinations and the open shop. He heard union men characterized as anarchists socialists and demagogues. He heard union men called tyrants and monopolies termed benefact6rs.
 He sat by and gave his full approval of these sentiments. When he arose to speak he uttered not single word in protest against the slanderous statements of the mighty trust magnate. By his si- lence upon the subject he gave full ap- proval to what MT Barber said. At the same time Mr Taft was trayeling about the country, appealing to union labor to support the republican ticket.
