PRINTERS NOT RESPONSIBLE
Frank Morrison Says Union Did Not
Cause Los Angeles Disaster.

Secretary Frank Morrison of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor brands as un-
true the report that the labor unions of
Los Angeles are responsible for the
blowing up Of the once OF the Los An
geles Times. He believes an impartial
inquiry will prove the chargec Of the editor
of the Times. to this effect, to be I'M
founded.
1T was with the tmost regret said Mr..
Morrison yesterday, that 1 read early
this morning of the loss of life occasion
ed by the destruction of the Times build
ing In Los Angeles. I am satisfied that
an investigation will prove to the world
that the statement given to the press by
the editor of the Times, charging that the
catastrophe was caused by labor unions
as retaliation for the bitter warfare the
paper had waged against them. will prove
untrue in every particular. 1t Is indeed to
be regretted hat the management should
and without investigation,
give to the press q statement placing the
responsibility for the catastrophe upon a
great body Of law-ahding citizens. when
every decent impulse would demand that
an Investigation should take place before
an endeavor should be made to prejudice
the minds Of the public along lines upon
which the Times paper has been working
asstduously for many years"

replace all of the twelve-inch turret guns

ons. The latter will be banded clear up to

against blowing of the muzzle, as hap

bound for the Norfolk navy yard. an
other is nearly complete at the Washing

down the river In the course of a few
days, and two other new guns are at the
Boston navy yards. and will be conveyed
by rail from there to Norfolk.
The naval board. which has been In
vestigating the explosion of the Georgia s
gun recently, returned to Washington
from an inspection Of the remainder of
the weapon and brought fragments of the
broken muzzle, which will be carefully
examined by experts In the effort to dis
cover the cause OF the guns failure.

NAVAL STORES OPENED,


The first of the naval commissary stores
to be established by the Navy Depart
ment was opened yesterday at the WASH
ington navy yard. 1t will be operated on
lines similar to those followed by the
army commissiary stores for many years.
Its main purpose is to enable officers Of
the Navy and Marine Corps stationed in
this vicinity to purchase food products at
the rates at which the government OBJ
tains these commodities in large quantities
by contract.
Certain retail dealers in this city and
Annapolis have protested to the Navy
Department against the establishment of
these commissary stores as prejudicial
to their business interests. AS the de-
partment has decided to go ahead with its
plans In this respect. it is understood the
merchants will make an appeal for relief
to Congress at its coming session.

LARGER EXPORT TRADE.
Goods Worth $500, 000, 900 Sent to
Europe in Eight Months.

During the month OF August the export
trade of the United States to every part
of the world increased in all over $l2..
10000. according to q summary COM
pleted by the bureau of statistics Of the
Department Of Commerce and Labor.
During the eight months Of the calen-
dar year. which ended with August. the
value of exports to Europe alone was
nearly $500. SOC. 600. and the imports for
the same period were more than $685..
100000
Compared with the statistics OF the
corresponding period of 1900. the imports
from Europe show increases Of $4,000,
OOO and the exports show decrease OF
25,OOO,O0O.
The statistics would indicate that the
balance of trade" SO far this year IS
against the United States, but the opinion
of many students Of economics Is that
the immense exports Of foodstuns and
manufactures which this country will
make this fall are likely to turn II In
