 BRIGHT SKIES FOR UNION LABOR
A. F. of L., Has Big Increase in Membership-Future Out

URGES MAN IN OV- RAILS
 TO UNITE FOR BETTERMENT
Outlines Program Which the Federated Workers Favor = Morrison Defends
 Right to Strike

Rochester, N V, Nov 11-Never in the history of the American Fedora tion of Labor has it's membership been larger and the outlook for the future of organized labor more rose ate. according to President Samuel Gompers, in his address today in open ing the annual labor convention:
 Higher wages and fewer hours of labor have frightened labor's burdens immeasurably, GonpeI-s declared: He urged the ''man in the overalls'' to stand united for betternent.
 Gompers said the federation's mem bers now number 1,s41,o0o as against 1,770, 145 last year
 Tine demand for higher wages, he declared, represents our conviction that larger share of wealth should go to those who create it. The pro gress of humanity results from the elimination of poverty
 Urging labor, to support the initia,- tive. referendum and recall, GoInpers sounded 1abor's political campaign cry, declaring When political machln. in electorate will attain real democracy.
 Gompers said the federation is non partisan but unites to defeat it's foes at the polls and elect it's friends. He did not comment on the recent election results
 Among the blanks he favored were:
 Extension of the federation in Can ada
 Organization of steel workers.
 Imposition of compulsory arbitration laws.
 Extension of the eight hour law.
 Limiting injunction and contempt proceedings.
 Passage of a rigid immigration ex- ciusion act.
 Limiting Federal judges tenure.
 Elm ployers' liability and worlSmen s com pesa.tion laws.
 Old age pensions.
 Wider use of schools.
 Gompers said the ssdeplorable ca1arn- Hvsss of the dynamiting of the Los Am sEeIes Times broke the metal workers strike there He said the swretehed conditions and social in 3nsffce' among the steel workers was the basis of the fedefation's present campaign to uia- iorlize the industry
 Despite all hindrauces and ob- stacIes we have made steady prog resS,'' Gompers declared Shoulder to shoulder we press onward and, on- ward.''
 Secretary Frank Morrison defended the right to strike in his annual re- port.
 'sThe right is the difference between free labor and slave labor,'' said Mor- rison. '@The strike is not a. boon it is often a hardship-but the strike has been the most formidable and powerful weapon in achieving success When labor is fighting for a. principle or justice it does not count the cost in dollars and cents.''

TURKEYS SLY COUP.

& -
 Paris. Nov: 11.--==Turkey was under stood in diplomatic circles here, to- day, to have signified it's approval of "a temporary joint occupation of Con stantinople by landing parties from English. German, French, Russian. Austrian and Italian warships, osten- sibly to protect the powers subjects there but really to keep the Bull garians out.
 The powers could not convention ally land enough men to resist the Bulgarian army in the event of an actual attack on the Turkish capital but it was considered that Czar Fer dinand could not possibly be insane enough to brave the six big nations anger, antagonizing every one of his own friends by trying to force his way into the city over the dead bodies 5 It was the general impression here that the landing would be ordered the moment it became evident that Constantinop1e could hold out no longer. The chancellories were in conmunication on the subject, today, and it was on good authority that they were virtually agreed.
 Even Russia, Bulgaria's supporter, has expressed the view that a per- manent Bulgarian occupation of the SuItan's capital was undesirable. It stand that it had no objection to his entry into the city providing he did government admitted, however, it was understood, that, once in occu- patton of the city. he probably would be unwilling to surrender again and that it would be difficult to dislodge him without a resort to force, which would entail possibilities of all sorts of international complications. For this reason, St. Petersburg was dis posed, not only to agree to the pro- posed preventive measure but actually to cooperate in it.
 Reports, that a massacre of Chris tians was pending since Saturday, are believed baseless. The government, at latest accounts was disarming the populace as rapidly as possible.
 News that Russia has sent the war ship Rostislau to Constantinople with sidered as practically disposing of any doubt that the powers have agreed on a joint occupation of the city. It was reported that the United States would be invited to join in the occu- patton if it: pleased.
