effect ON the Hartman stocks was OF
course most apparent, but there was a
buoyant tendency everywhere manifest.
Residents hereabouts received the
statement with qualification, for many
of them, despite private information OF
a reassuring nature, feared that their
prominent neighbor was in critical
condition.
Mr.. Harriman's Statement.
Mr.. Harriman's statement, issued
Just before o'clock this afternoon, is
as follows:
Il am pursuing the course laid out
before / went abroad and advised by
the physicians. I intended taking a
rest as soon as my responsibilities
would permit My treatment abroad
reduced my strength and vitality and
weakened my digestion.
The most expert physicians In Mu-
Mich advised me to have an examina-
tion by surgeons as a matter of pre-
caution.
This has been done very carefully
by Drs Brewer and Grille, in copjunc-
tfon with Dr. Walter james and DR..
Lyle. and the whole result is that they
found nothing serious. and renew the
advice previously obtained that l
should have rest and not see many
people at one time, and this l am
trying to do.
'"rhis covers the whole case. and
later on, if the representatives of the
press desire and there is any purpose
to be accomplished, will see them up
here, but now / ask that the surveil-
lance Of the operations of my home be
withdrawn, not so much on account of
my family or myself, but that the com
ing and going of my friends may not
be interfered with.
'T appreciate the interest shown in
my welfare by the press and my
friends in all :ections, and perhaps by
some others.
IF there was, or should be, ANYTHING
serious. l will let the press know. and
as have never deceived them 1 ask
that the press now withdraw its rep
resentatives and rely upon me-"

Dramatic Center Of First Days Session OF Inter-
national Trades Union Congress
ATTITUDE OF AMERICANS DENOUNCED
With Reference Joining the international Movement
l. merican President Needed All His Old ime Energy
to Repe nsnuatons of Several European Delegates
American Labor Leaders Statement Coldly Taken.

Paris Aug. 30.-Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor was the dramatic center OF
the first days session of the sixth in
ternational trades union congress
when several European delegates. Bit
terly denounced what they called the
equivocal attitude OF the American
Federation with refeteuee to joining
the international movement. Mr. Com
pers needed all his old time energy to
repel the attack. He insisted that the
problems and policies of American
trades uniouism were so intermingled
with American traditions and ideas
that Americans could Ill spare the
time to encounter the influence of ,Eu-
ropean leaders where tlS trades =nion-
ism tendencies were temperamentally
different.
Nevertheless. as an evidence that
the United States was anxious for in
ternational cooperation Mr.. Gompers
introduced a proposal favoring world
wide organization which would defend
the rights and interests OF all and
create international fraternity and SOL
idarity."
Clash Over the Exact Status of Com
The clash came over the question
of the exact status of Mr.. Gompers
and the American Federation OF Labor
in the conference. Mr.. Gompers ex-
planned that for the present he was
merely an auditor but was ready TO
give his opinions. II had been the as
/ piration of the Americon workmen 10
/ come into closer contact with the labor
movement in Europe since they were
/ profoundly attached to the cause OF
solidarity Of labor. One obstacle in
the way of afIiliation. he said. was the
! feeling that antagonism existed in Eu-
rope toward American trades unionism
Moreover, it was feared that the AM
erican workmen might be compelled tc
subordinate their policies to those oi
men knowing little or nothing about
American Industrial conditions anc
problems.
Personally" he continued Il have
no authority to pledge the affiliatoin oi
