he doubted if there is any likelihood in
the neal future of that international
fraternity" for which Mr.. Gompers ex-
PRESSED a wish. The trend of things
with the European trades union is
either distinctly socialistic or TO a re-
organization of society and government
on a basis but family understood on
this side of the Atlantic. In England
the socialistic tendency is especially
marked. though the same tendency pre-
walls TO some extent on the Continent.
The trades unions in this country
cannot be said to be sociaIistic. Il is
true that many men who vote the
socialist ticket can be found in the
ranks of organized labor, but on the
whole the American labor organiza-
tions are in favor of the preservation
of democratic institutions. Mr.. Com
pers himself is we'll known to be op-
posed to socialism. So. while it looks
from a distance as if Mr.. Gompers were
not accorded the courtesy that he de
served. as the head of the trades and
labor organizations Of this country. It
was to be expected that no afflistion
would be found possible.

DEPOSED SULTAN'S
DAYS ARE NUMBERED
Abdul Hamid Reported to
Have Cancer of the
Stomach.

CONSTANTINOi'LE, Sept. lit was
learned today that Abdul Hamid. the
deposed sultan, is sunerinN from
cancer OF the stomach. The physicians
who have examined him say his all
ment Is incurable. and that his tenure
on lie is but a few more months at
most.
only recently Fl was announced that
the Sultan was suffering from a
species Of insanity. This conclusion
was based on his maniacal actions,
which doctors now say are due 20 the
Intense pain arising from the cancer.
Abdul has written 10 Mehmed v.
his successor. asking that doctors from
Western Europe be permitted 20 treat
him. He IS thoroughly Disguised with
the Turkish treatment. and IS also
afraid he IS the victim Of a plot that
has his speedy death as It's chief aim.
The depOsed rulers horror OF death

Mr.. GOMPERS' DIFFERENCES
WITH EUROPEAN TRADES
UNIONS.

Tae denuncistion Of President Samuel
Gonfpers of the American Federation of
Labor at the meeting of the Inter
national Trades Unions Congress In
Paris might at first thought cause sur
prise in this country. Mr.. Gompcrs
was attacked by several Of the dele
gates because he would not pledge the
congress that the American Federation
OF Labor would affiliate with il. But
10 any one giving thought 20 the diff
ferences between the American trades
union and labor union movement in this
country and that movement abroad,
surprise is not likely 10 be caused by
reason Of the rather hostile reception
which was accorded Mr.. Gompers.
1t is clear Mr.. Gompers had no
authority to attempt sf6liation, and
none knew this better than he. The dill
fereDces between American and Euro.
pesn unions are radical. II may well

ATHLETICS TO BE A FEATURE
OF OCEAN TRAVEL.

There is no end to the progressive
construction of ocean liners, the latest
evidence of this being the building by
the White Star Line Of the Olympic.
Although the Olympic will not be the
speediest ship afoat, she viii be the
largest. She will be $50 feet long. with
a beam of ninety-two feet, The area
represented is two-ifths that of the
ordinary public square.
incidentally, life on the Olympic will
be as delightful as that in any sum
mer resort or country club, with the
additional advantage Of the ocean
voyage. For, not only will this new
mistress of the seas be equipped with
all the ~present-day comforts of ocean
travel. but she will have a swimming
pool, a gymnasium, and a squash
reequet court.
All these things viii mean. perhaps,
a new series of national and inter
national sporting events, and new
titles of champion steamship swimmer
and star steamship squash player.

CONFERENCEO OF THE COMMITS
SION ON TRUST AND RAIL
ROAD CONTROL.

The conferees from the Cabinet and
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
along with one member of the House,
designated by the President to consult
and make recommendations to him with
respect to trust and railroad control
are meeting in New York this week
1t is plain to be seen they have no light,
vacation task ahead of them. They
are expected to advise the President on
the question of what he shall say to
Congress at the beginning of the next
session on the subject of further regu-
lation Of railroads and on the control
of trusts.
The field which is has opened up for
consideration of the conferees and for
future consideration Of Congress is n
of the widest scope and of the utmost
Importance. For this reason the action
of the conferees in New York will be
watched with much interest in many
quarters, though it is quite likely it
will be a long road from the cOnclu-
sions of the gentlemen whom the Presi-
lent has picked to advise him on these
matters and legislation by Congress.
It appears that the President refer
red the conferees to what he said in
his speech of acceptance in Cincinnati
in July of last year. This speech shows
that the President has in mind a great
number of changes in existing laws, as
well as new legislation Some of the
things which he suggested or advocated
in the speech, or which he otherwise
recommended to the conferees, include
the following:
A change in the Interstate Commerce
Commissions duties to relieve it of
certain administrative functions and.
turn them over 10 the Department Of
Commerce and Labor.
The registry OF certain corporations
and the fullest publicity of corpora
tons.
A change in the Hepburn law so as
10 allow compliments before the Inter
state Commerce Commission the right
10 appeal or ask a review.
Conferring on the Interstate Com
r1eree Commission the right to prohibit
proposed changes in freight rates pend
ing . hearing.
Control OF the security issues of
AIroads in interstate commerce.
is suggested. furthermore, that the
Hferees are likely to suggest that the
Bureau Of Corporations be enlarged and
made the nucleus Of a new department
to have supervision of all corporations
in interstate commerce except railroads.
In addition to this. there is rhe ques-
ton of amendment Of the Sherman
sntitru law. changes in which the
President strongly favors.
All this j. a stupendous program.
That & is the working out Of this pro
gram and the problems involved in it
nlhat the President regards as the big
Lbefore his Administration there is
kubt. Indications are the Presi-
srill insist strongly that Congress
these matters up for cOnsidera-
next winter, and if it does it will
I'VE as difficult a proposition on its
Phsnds as revision Of the tariff. If not
more SO. II viii be hard 10 get Con
gress to agree on any plan for the
solution of the great questions which
are included in the things the Presi-
dent advocates, and it may well happen
That It viii be several sessions before
they are disposed of.
