REFUSE TO RESUME WORK
Strikers Reject Agreement Made by
Officers of Union.

Boston, Sept. 29.-The employees of
the International Paper company in
New England have refused to return
to work in the various mills of the
company in Massachusetts, Maine and
New Hampshire under a per cent
wage reduction, denying the right of
the president of their national union
to accept for them the lower rate
The workmen, who are members of
the International Brotherhood of Pa
permakers, have been on strike for
several weeks because of notice that
wages would be reduced 10 per cent
Officials of the company had confer
ences with officials of the interna-
tional union and last week President
Carey of the brotherhood notified the
local unions that the unions officers
had accepted compromise PROPOSE
tiOn and that the strikers would re-
turn to work under a wage cut of 5
per cent.
This the strikers have refused to do,
claiming that President Carey had no
right to bind them to return to work
until the local unions had been given
an opportunity of accepting or reject.

TAFT HAS STRENUOUS DAY
Makes Dozen Speeches in Minnesota
and North Dakota.

Fargo, n. D., Sept. 29.-With his

at St Cloud, Mimi, in which state the
greater part of the day was spent

Ing. At Fargo there was a big rally
and barbecue, the feast consisting OF
two bears, ten steers and twenty
lambs. Excursion trains were run to
Fargo from distance of $50 miles
and fourteen bands were in the line
of the big parade.
At st. Cloud Mr.. Taft spoke on the
labor question, saying with tinge of
sarcasm that he believed few crumbs
from the Gompers table would fall to
him, as he did not believe that Com
pers could deliver, as he had said he
should, the entire labor vote of the
country. The record of the two par
ties was then reviewed briefly and the
conclusion drawn that the Republican
and not the Democratic party had
been the party of real action in behalf
of the laboring man.
The Taft special plunged into real
cold weather as it rushed northward
and snow was falling lightly when Mr..
Taft was making a speech at Alexan-
dria, MINI. At Alexandria the candi-
date paid his respects to Mr.. Bryan.

ROOSEVELT REPLIES.
Answers Bryan's Recent Speech on a
Square Deal.

Washington, Sept. 29.-President
Roosevelt has replied to William ].
Bryan's recent speech in which he
maintained that the Democratic party
and platform were not getting square
deal in the campaign.
The presidents reply deals particu-
larly with Mr.. Bryan's assertion that
the administration has been neither
sincere nor effective in the prosecu-
tion of trusts.
Mr.. Roosevelt combats this charge
with characteristic emphasis and sets
forth in detail what has been done un-
der his direction toward curbing the
tendency of capital to control with a
view to destroying competition.
The president also scores Mr.. Bryan
for "insincerity" in making statements
calculated to create an impression
that because men having connections
with large corporations contributed to
the Republican national campaign
fund four years ago and to the Repub-
lican campaign fund in New York
state two years ago Mr.. Roosevelt and
uOtSTIOI I1uSneS ntItSSdlIiy IuuSt De
believed to have guided their official
conduct with particular consideration
for these contributions.
He mentions his own administra-
tion's record and particularly the case
of Hartman and Governor Hughes
unvarying policy of impartiality as
sufficient to show the unfounded ma.
ture of any such insinuation.
President Roosevelt again delves
into the career of Governor Haskell,
the deposed treasurer of the Demo
cratic national committee, and also
draws some striking conclusions, far
from complimentary to the Democratic
presidential candidate, from compre-
hensive review and consideration of
the Nebraska mans candidates. and
the source of the funds that went to
finance them.

WILL PLAN WAR ON
THE WHITE PLAGUE
Many Nations Represented at
tuberculosis Congress.

Washington, Sept. pa remark
able educational campaign formally
was inaugurated here. 1t was human
ity's crusade against a most deadly
foe, the white plague.
The occasion was the official open
ing of the sixth triennial international
congress on tuberculosis at the new
national museum. A more distin-
gnished gathering perhaps has never
before met in the national capital.
Scientists of international fame, mem
bers of the diplomatic corps, philan-
thropists and Representatives of prac-
tically every civilized nation were
present.
The first day of the congress was
marked by simple but unique cere-
monies. Preliminary to the formal
opening the diplomatic corps, the
spokesmen of the various countries,
the officers of the congress, the hon
orary presidents and the section pres
idents met in the office of DR.. Henry
G. Boyer, chairman of the committee
on exhibits in the museum building,
and accompanied by Doctors Boyer
and John S. Fulton, the secretary gen.
eral, proceeded to the stage in the
great auditorium There Secretary of
the Treasury Cortelyou, as the per-
sonal representative of the president
of the United States, extended the
official welcome on behalf of the gov
ernment of the United States. A well
come to the national capital was then
extended hv District Commissioner
MacFarland, followed by brief re-
sponses by the representatives of
about thirty foreign countries. The
assembly hall was a prism of colors,
the flags of every nation being dis
played. The national anthems of this
and other countries were played By
the Marine band.
The greater part of the days ses.
sion was devoted to responses by for
eign delegates. At the conclusion OF
this feature Secretary Cortelyou closed
the meeting, the delegates dispersed
and will not assemble in general ses
sion again until Saturday morning
Oct 3.
