NEW YORK. August Is - The Hol-

BOSTON, August 1S.-"No compro-

Theodore Roosevelt opened the political
congress in Massachusetts yesterday. He
declared there should be no compromise
with reactionares in any form, while on
the other hand the party would welcome
those of the rank and file OF other organ

tons Resources, However

Reports from the charity baseball
tournament held at the Athletic Park
two weeks ago for the benefit OF the
Associated Charities are now practi-
cally complete and show receipts o.
s640 clear OF expenses. This fund has
been turned over to the Associations
officers.
Miss Clarice Jones, secretary Of the
association, has asked The News 10
express her gratitude and that OF the
directors, 10 all who assisted in the
splendid effort, the result OF which ex-
ceeded expectations.
According To Miss Jones, the assist
ance given the Association is very
timely for there is every indication the
resources will be severely taxed dur
ing the next few months. Applications
for assistance have shown constant
increase during the last few weeks.
Although the demand has not been
so noticeable during the last few warm
days, there is no doubt that the first
cold snap will impose hardships on
many. Fall and winter slothing, tlan-
nels, woolens, shoes, stockings. under
wear, dresses and coats, especially for
women and children are greatly need
ed, the usual supply having been ex-
hausted by previous inroads. Any as
sistance in this direction will be ap-
preciated.
Former strikers. some OF whom have
not worked for fifteen months. and
others who have worked but few
weeks, are in need, and I'm some in
stances their families are suffering.
