Mr. Conklln Kid the committee had completed Ita Investigation In other states which have direct primary laws. "The people of New York state," he said, "have no Idea of the political anarchy that exists In the middle western states. Direct nominations have driven parties entirely out of existence In many communities. "In Wisconsin there Is no longer a repub lican party and a democratlo party. There are several factions, the most prominent of which are the stalwart and the half breeds. Those who were at one pme demo crats have disappeared and have gone Into the republican party, so-called, to vote at the primaries. There are no longer party principles, but' only parsonal views of fac tion leaders, 'To some extent the same state of af fairs exists In Iowa and Kansas and every where else where this system of direct nominations Is in operation. The minority party has been swallowed up. In every community we have visited there has been but one opinion expressed by the deoent, sober. Intelligent cltlien, the conservative, professional men. and that has been of disgust and loathing for the political an archy In which they had beeen plunged. Time and again we met wtth the expression from the biggest men In the cities we vis ited: 'For God's sake, do not Infllot this Iniquity on the state of New York.'

The London market for American securities wasN especially strong and reflected a heavy covering not only by local operators, but also from this side. There was also a great deal of long stock purchased here at the opening. News of E. H. Harrlman's condition which developed over Sunday made hif prospects appear so favorable that the over-extended short account in the stock market was demoralised. A panicky con dition was manifest amongst the shorts at the opening as prices were rushed up throughout the list In the scramble ' to cover. There was a sag In the market the first quarter of an hour. Union Pacific fell back a large fraction and some of the other especially buoyant stocks between 1 and 3 points. The excitement then quieted down somewhat. Tha stock market became quieter during the midday hour, as has been the case for over a week. Union Pacific was marked up again to more than i points over Sat urday's closing level, and more than ( points over the low point of Saturday. The whole market took its tone from the Union Paoiflc movement, and the general level rose again to a fraction higher than in the opening rush to buy on the part of shorts.

SHARP W0BDS FB0JI AUSTRIAN tlat..are It ts Tlsae for Western Men to Reach Derision on I nternntlonnl Move ment. PARIS, Aug. SO. Samuel Gompers, presi dent of the American Federation of Labor was the dramatic center of the first day's session of the sixth International Trades' Union congress, when several European delegates bitterly denounced what they clamled to be the equivocal attitude of the American Federation with reference to Join ing the International movement. Mr. Gompers needed all his old time energy to repel the atUck. He Insisted that the problems and policies of American trades unionism were so Intermingled with Ameri can traditions and Ideas that Americans could ill spare the time to encounter the Influence of European leaders where the trades unionism tendencies were tempera mentally different. Nevertheless as an evidence that the United States was anxious for International co-operation, Mr. Gompers Introduced a proposal favoring world wide organisation which would "defend the right and Inter ests of all and create International solid arity." Gomnera Explains Position. The clash came over the question of. the exact status of Mr. Gompers and the Amer ican Federation of Labor In the conference. Mr. Gompers explained that for the pres ent he was merely an auditor, but was ready to give his opinions. He said It has been the aspiration of the American work men to come Into closer contact with the labor movement In Europe, as they were profoundly attached to the cause of solid arity of labor. One obstacle In the Way of affiliation, he said, was the feeling that antagonism existed In Europe towards American trades unlonl.'eVi. Moreover, It was feared that the American wormen might be compelled to subordinate their policies to those of men knowing little or nothing about American Industrial condi tions and problems. v "Personally," he continued. "I have no authority to pledge the affiliation of the American Federation of Labor, but I be lieve It will come In time." Statement Received Coldly. . Mr. Gompers' statement was received coldly. Several delegates Jumped to their feet to protest. Hueber, an Austrian dele gate, characterised Mr. Gompers' explana tion as mockery. He, like the others, hid been under the impression that the Ameri cans meant business and that Mr. Gompers was the official delegate from that coun try. Otherwise he could not understand how the American resolutions happened to be printed In the official program. "We thank you for your opinions," he said pointedly, "but we do not need them. Your policies may not permit you to come to us, but one day, American workmen, you will realise that your policies are er roneous and you will see the necessity of Joining the International Confedera tion." f Gomperi Answers Hueber. Mr. Qompers, stinging undej the rebuke, but unflinching, arose to reply. "I re gret," he exclaimed, "that you have mis construed my remarks as an attempt upon European trades unionism. I repeal, we are sincerely desirous of international fed eration, but only so far as it preserves the American . conception of suntontsm. If Europe does not want us it will be unfor tunate. Nevertheless, we will continue to do everything; possible to attain the goal for what the human race is struggling International Federation and unity." Hueber retorted that It was now seven years since the Americans began talking about Joining the International confedera tion and it was about time a decision was reached. "It now appears," he concluded, "that Mr. Gompers Is merely on a voyage of discovery." M. Legion, the International secretary, ended the controversy with the statement that Mr. Gompers was only a guest, but he hoped that that official was convinced that the moment had arrived for the American Federation of Labor to Join forces with their European brethren. The regular business ' of the conference was then resumed and resolutions Were adopted In sympathy with the strikers In Sweden and Barcelona and for an appeal to the unionists of the world to strive for the abolition of war. x Comment of French Press. Tha newspapers devote much space to the International congress and the significance of the presence of Mr. Gompers. The Journal Des l)ebats points out that the American Federation of Labor and the French General federation of Labor, which did not Join In the last two con ferences, represent opposing conceptions of trades unionism. Mr. Gompers, represent ing the American sentiment. Is utterly op posed to the building up of unionism on a foundation of socialism, politics or open revolution; Instead, his work lies in the direction of developing the real Interests of the workmen and solving the problem of labor and capital. UNIFORM LAWS BAR'S GOAL To Promote Common Standard Is Object of National Association, Says Oreckenrldare. "The aim of the American Bar associa tion Is to do all possible to promote uni formity In the laws of the country and considerable work along that line was don at the recent meeting of the associa tion at Detroit," said Ralph W. Brecken ridge, who was elected a member of the exeoutlve committee. "The meeting was one of the largest at tended we have ever had. There were two notables from abroad. George Boshey of Paris who spoke on the French marital law and Sir. Frederick Pollack of Eng land who was the- guest of the association for the third time. "Three Nebraska men were on the con fertnee for uniform legislation: Judge W. G. Hastings, dean of the Nebraska Law school; John L. Webster and myself. Drafts were msd of two bills, the law of transfer of title to shares of stock In cor porations and a uniform law for bill of lading. "Next year the conference will consider uniform laws of divorce and uniform laws of corporations. The great aim la uni formity In legislation by codifying tha laws. "George F. Llbbey of Portland. Me., the new president of the association, has promised to be present at the next meet ing of the. Nebraska Bar association. The association adopted the report of the Insurance committee, recommending the passage of a bill by congress to create a commission to be appointed by the presi dent to prepare an Insurance code for the District of Columbia with a view of mak ing this the model for all states."
