the brass tor this purpose that first
gave it any real value to them. In
1890 the brass rods still retained their

1t is quite possible that the rods

those who came into possession of

Little Likelihood That Poultry

Statement

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1l.-Fears OF
extension Of the foot and mouth dis
ease quarantine on livestock TO poul-
try, with It's visions OF q turkeyless
Thanksgiving. were allayed today by
department OF agriculture experts.
"The federal foot and mouth quar-
antine has not and will not be extend
ed to poultry. except to farms where
the disease has been discovered
among cattle, swine OF sheep" said
DR.. John r. Mohler, chief pathologist
OF the bureau of animal industry.
Local health authorities, however,
department officials admitted, might.
for their own protection. place To-
cal state embargo upon poultry ship
ments to guard against spread OF the
livestock plague.
1T is possible, but not probable,
that poultry may catch the disease"
said DR.. Mohler. But the department
does not consider such possibility
sufficient grounds to include poultry
shipments In the quarantine orders.
Chickens, turkeys, ducks. pigeons.
geese and other fowls may be active
agents in communicating the disease
from infected to healthy livestock
Therefore, the quarantine will pro-
bibit shipment OF poultry from farms
where the disease has been found.
The chief way in watch poultry
can spread the disease is by scratch
ing In manure from infected live
stock"
Experts differ whether transmission
to human beings OF the stock plague
could be effected by eating poultry
affected, but local health authorities
are warning citizens against POSSIBLE
ity OF contagion by drinking milk
from affected cattle.
CLEVELAND, o., Nov. ll.-Health
Commissioner Ford today prepared
to inoculate a calf with secretion from

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 1l.-Con-
hderation OF resolutions covering
every conceivable proposition affect
lng organized labor, occupied the at
tention OF the American federation
foday. None were OF character
designed TO result In any serious
difference OF opinion. In accordance
with the time-honored precedent
the resolutions committee was defer
ring action on the most important
questions until next week, when the
new delegates will have had oppor-
tunity to become acquainted and
there will be less bitterness in de-
bate than would be the rule at the
present time.
The fight which many OF the dele
Gates have been making for years to
lineup the labor vote OF the United
States for a labor political PARTY has
only an outside nance OF winning
this session II Is already plain,
however, that many OF the men who
N the past have opposed such plan
have seen a light" and that labor
rarty In the United States Ia sure,
very soon.
The older leaders OF the organiza-
ton oppose such action. They be-
lieye that labor can best serve It's
own interests by supporting such
candidates as are favorable to II
regardless OF party But the radi-
cal members, and especially those
from the western states, insist that
this plan has had fair trial and
IN imperative. They point to the
Michigan. West Virginia, Colorado
.rd similar SITUATIONS as indicating
that az general proposition, pres
cnt-day officehoiders are opposed to
organized labor's methods.
..Were the Socialist members to
vote with the advocates OF the plan,
there would be more than enough
yotes to carry II through. But the
Socialists are opposed to distinct
labor party which naturally would
be In opposition to their movement,
and they are likely to be lined up
with the conservatives in opposi-
ton
The question OF Industrial in
stead of crafts unionism Is also GER
tain to result In a stirring debate.
James F. Morris, OF the Illinois State
Federation Of Labor, has introduced
resolution demanding that the fed
Grafton change It's present methods
OF organization. This resolution Is
backed by the carriage, wagon and
automobile workers. the National
Brotherhood OF Potters. and several
other international bodies.
