RED CROSS STAMPS
 ARE PROHIBITED

Washington, August 2S.-Serious in convenience in handling the mails from particular localities is being experienced by the postal authorities on account of general use of adhesive stamps other than United States postage stamps
 In view of the trouble experienced from the use of the Red Cross stamps during the last Christmas holiday pe- riod, Postmaster General Hitchcock Is sued a general order that no adhesive stamps other than United States post age stamps should be attached to the address side of q letter or package
 Tens of thousands of stamps now are being issued, including Panama expo sition stamps, various state exposition stamps, and what are known as the Me- Namara legal defense fund stamps, au- thorized by the American Federation or Labor.
 thousands of letters bearing such stamps on the obverse side of the en- velopes are being received at the dead letter office. The problem of handling letters bearing such stamps is so serious that it was decided by Postmaster Gen eral Hitchcock and Third Assistant Britt that no stamps resembling United States postage stamps may be used on either the obverse or reverse side of mailed envelopes.
 This letter will eliminate from the mails absolutely the Red Cross stamps and the McNamara defense fund stamps, because on their faces they are called stamps"
 After considering the matter, Postmas- ter General Hitchcock decided not to modify his previous order.

SINCLAIR SUES WIFE FOR DIVORCE Utopian Colonist and Wife Tsa Eeg1s, .Ea Tl.ea
 Troubles

New York, August 2S.-'rhe marital diff faculties of Upton Sinclair. the utopian colonist and socialist author and Meta Fuller Sinclair, who have been married II years, reached climax today when the author brought suit for absolute di- vorce, naming Harry Kemp, the poet as correspondent.
 While the papers were being prepared by MT. Sinclair's attorney for service upon his wife today, she and her hus- band and the correspondent poet sat In the assembly room of large Broadway hotel and quietly discussed with reporters the problem of marital relations and Utopia in general The author and his wife fre- quently addressed each other in endear- ing terms and in a most matter of fact way, MT. Sinclair told his wife that his attorney would call later in the day, as he did, with the formal papers.
 Mrs. Sinclair was asked if she would fight the divorce proceedings.
 NO" she said. 1T have not yet con suited a lawyer, but my present inten- tons are not to defend the suit.
 When informed of the statutory grounds which the New York law pro- yides for the granting of a divorce, she said:
 Tt does not seem to me that divorce should be disgrace, even divorce ob- tained upon such grounds as you say must be shown in this state. l believe that an individual is justified in pursuing his or her ideal.'
 T have the misfortune she said, ito have a very conservative husband. He Is conservative by instinct and nature, and a radical merely by choice. A monogamist ought to be able to act the part of a husband; in other words, he ought to have some time to devote to his wife. He should not be so absorbed in his work that the true proportions of human rela- tionship fade into insignificance beside his work" T Mrs. Sinclair said she expected to go away for a rest and added that Mir. Kemp would not accompany her. She said, however, that both of them might later go on the stage. Mir. Sinclair said he was going to his home in Arden, Del. ,e.

TARIFF WILL BE
 THE 1872 ISSUE Taft Preparing Speeches to Attack Democrats and
 PrOgressives
,.....,......................ss.t,

Beverly, Mass, August 2s.-So far as President Taft himself is concerned the tariff will be the main issue of the 1912 campaign. While the President will speak on many subjects on his western trip 1t Is certain now tariff re- vision will receive most of his atien- ton. Following his speech to the Es- sex County Republican club at Hamll- ton Saturday the President began to- day to prepare other speeches on the tariff He obtained copies of his veto messages on the wool, farmers free list and cotton bills and at once set to work upon addresses he expects to deliver later, backing up those vetoes.
 Mir Taft Is said to realize he must not merely defend himself for having reflected the biIls, but he must attack the democrats and progressive repub-
 icans who put them through. The attack upon the democrats the Pres ident can make almost anywhere. II is understood the fight upon the pro gressives will be confined largely to their own territory. The President will carry the war west into the "enemys s country"
 The nature of the attack is pretty clearly defined already. If will be in substance that the. progressives who voted for tariff board should have been willing to wait for it's report Hat the revision bills the democrats and insurgents drew at the special ses- sion were i'll considered" and "bady drawn;a and great industries ot the country should not be put in jeopardy by such Legislation when lewiston, if recommended by the tariff board, might be expected anyway few months later. 1t is also probable the President Will promise tariff reform so far as he can bring 1t about at the next session Of Congress. It is quite possible the pro gressives will be under fire from the President also on the subject or reel proeity.
 The President has heard enough from western congressman to know that reciprocity is not popular in some states west of the Mississippi. The progress siyes are supposed here 10 count upon the bad effect reciprocity will have with Inc western farmers. The President g attitude in regard 10 reciprocity will probably he more nearly defensive than that in regard to tari1 revision, for he has all ways. contended reciprocity, tried for oue year, would prove advantage ous to every one and hurtiul to none.
 Of the other main topics already se- T. fea. eAt zen, res9t l4s iS 7dmlttea 10 ba of great interest because of the idea that the proposed legislation may foreshadow central bank. The Presi- dent may talk extensively on this sub ject

 In his annual report, which will be laid before Congress in December, MT.

 MT. Clark also will review the history of the tariff legislation in the recent changes and says he will show that more time was spent on the Underwood bill than on the Payne-AIdrich-S bill. Mir. Clark considers President Taft was unfair and did not state facts in his Ham, ilton address.

 MEETING POSTPONED
Vice President Declares That De- mands of Federation Would Diminish Hartman Lines
 Ability to Fulfill Duties

San Francisco, August 2s.-That to grant the demands for the Federation of Shop employees of the Hartman lines would mean chaos, and that 1t would diminish the ability of the corporations to fulfill the duties imposed upon them by law was the statement made tonight by Jul ian kruttschnitt, vice president and di- rector of maintenance and operation of the Hartman roads.
 MT. Kruttschnitt took up in detail the reasons for refusing the demands of the federated shopmen, saying
 These are the reasons why we de- cline to surrender to irresponsible committee of federated employees. repre- sentlng very small portion of the pub lie trusts confded to us by the entire public and why we will not concede to such a commission the right to dictate whether we shall or shall not fulfill for 2O,OO0 000 of people in r states the duties clearly prescribed by law.
 The employees demands are substan- tially as follows:
 ''Ffrst-Recognition of the shop em- ployes federation.
 Heretofore issues arising with ma chinist, boilermaker, blacksmith or sheet worker were taken up with his associates of that craft. When not successfully ad- justed strikes of that craft have follow ed, but they were not serious enough to prevent the roads performing the pub lie services for which they were created. Under the change proposed an issue Of a small road in Louisiana might stop all shop works throughout the system, by requiring members to strike in California Oregon Washington or Nebraska.
 "Second--All present or future employees will Join the federated association with in 30 days.
 This means the discharge of all em- ployes who will not join or an absolutely closed shop.
 '.Third-That the company agree that the final settlement of differences shall rest with federated commission repre- sentins all five crafts.
 'Fourth--The restriction of the nataper of apprentices
 This would deny to American boys the opportunity to learn trades.
 "Fifth-An increase of cents per hour for all mechanics, apprentices and heipers an average for the entire shop forces of 23 per cent and a reduction of hours and other demands averaging 13 per cent additional.

Conference Tomorrow

After the second conference word was sent to Vice President Park of the Illinois Central that conference with him will be sought either tomorrow or on Wednesday. The exact time will not be agreed upon until another meet ing of the union men Is held.
 The labor leaders it is said, will in- sist that the railroad recognize the re- gently organized federation body of shopr en which includes every craft in the mechanical department.
 The railroad officials have been deal ing with the individual unions and say they do not want to change this meth of conference. At the recent vote of the shopmen it is said over 90 per cent of the workmen went on record as being in favor of demanding that the railroad recognize the federated body
 The result of this vote will be pre- serted to the railroad officials at the conference.
 President McCleary is accompanied by 90 representatives of the different crafts involved in the labor controversy.
 The labor men opened headuuarters in a southside lotel and spent the morning in conferences at which the demands of the shomen were discussed and ar arrangements completed to submit their side of the dispute to the railroad oft cials At noon President McCleary con

Pays Highest Wages

''The Southern Pacific is now paying higher wages than any other railroad in the United States and has increased the pay of all shop crafts 121 per cent in the last five years.
 "Sxth-The abolishing of piece premlum and bonus systems, shop foremanship to be filled from by promotion by federation employees This is in direct conflict with the public will. recently expressed. that increased expenses of carriers should De met with increased efficiency of operation and not by increase of freight rates.
 "Seventh-That no form of physical ex- animation or personal record shall be re- quired.
 This denies the company the right or every citizen to require of persons offer ing his service evidences of competency, good character and health, and deprives the company of all protection under the fellow servant laws of many states.
 .'Eighth-That if forces are reduced en- ployes are to indicate who should be laid off.
 "This would embarrass the company in efforts to increase efficiency by rid ding the service of inefficient employees
 "Ninth-That no employe belong ing to the federation be discharged without consent from the employees commission. t..t
 This would require the company involved to meet a commission repre- senting all it's craftsmen, which com mission would owe allegiance to gen. eral commission composed of allied craftsmen of all lines of the Hartman system"
