fast crumbling away. While he has shown
some strengtn in ^mcago <*nu muci

Taft in this state, but during the past
week Taft has regained some of the

RULING AFFECTS GREEKS.
Cannot Send Registered Gifts of
Salable Valne to Home Folks.
Greeks in this country have been
warned by the Post Office Department
virtually to the efTect that they must
not send Christmas gifts or other
articles having a salable value to their
friends In Greece. This Is because of
advice received from the postal administration
of Greece that the laws of that
country prohibits the importation by
mail "under registration" of any article
which has a salable value, and furthermore.
that such articles. If sent in the
ordinary mail, must not be delivered,
but must be returned to their country
of origin.
Any article having a salable value being
unmailable to Greece under registration,
either as a letter or as a sample, can
be accepted for dispatch from this
country unregistered only at the risk
of the sender.

IN REPUBLICAN PARTY

Without Disruption There ;
Would Be No Doubt of \

?
BUFFALO. N. Y.. October 26.?"Under ]
normal conditions, if there was no disrup- 1
tion in the republican party it would be
unnecessary to make a single speech in
this campaign- But for the opposition in
our ranks the result would be a fore- I
gone conclusion." This was the state- t
ment made by Charles Nagel, Secretary ?
of Commerce and Labor. In a speech 1
here tonight.
"Wherever we go In this broad land c
we meet the evidences of prosperity; I
crops are blooming, chimneys are pouring t
forth smoke, manufacturers are working c
ahead of their orders; merchants are 1

try the labor demand cannot be supplied. 1
"Nowhere In the history of our coun- <
try can we find such evidence of pros- a
perlty and such preparation for a nor- t
mal era of peace. t
Development Aided. \
'It the government were not all right the a
conditions would not prevail, and the ex- t
lstence of these conditions demonstrated j
that the administration has not embarrassed,
but by its constructive and cooperative
policy, according to the good,
old republican doctrine, has aided the development
of normal conditions through- 1
out the country."
Secretary Xagel declared that President
Taft had been true to the party's pledges,
and after reviewing the administration's 0
policy on the trust problem, be said: j.
Policies Carried Out. ^
"We promised to carry out the policy r
upon which President Taft's predecessor e
chiefly prided himself, namely, to carry t
out the anti-trust laws without lm- j
munity or discrimination. He did it. t
And now they say we did it too much- 0
And the gentleman who used to figure t
every morning in the headline, armed e
with a big stick, comes back after four li
years with a feather duster to wipe out j]
the nefarious trusts. The transforms- ^
tlon Is amazing, ana in view oi me piai- r
form upon which this administration a
was elected, it cannot accept the change, li
but it must carry o'ut the law as it <1
found it, and as it has done."
Challenge to Wilson.
The speaker challenged Gov. Wilson
to say Just where he stands on the tariff J
question.
"We have revised the tariff downward,"
he said, "and we are still revising it
downward where it can stand it; but ?
we are protectionists in principle, we will
not Jeopardize our industries, and for F
the first time has a tariff been revised ij
without a panic. The republicans did it. n
The democrats did it twice, and we had g
a panic each time." u

by colored waiters imported from Atlantic
City. The grillroom was clownl
early iast night.
Strikebreakers Attacked.
A third feature of the day consisted
I of attacks on strike breakers late last
night. It being Saturday night the police
anticipated that if there was any
violence it would come at that time, and

on his way home, shortly beiore midnight
last night, was assaulted by three
white men in front of the tiibbs building,
on 15th street. According to Po.i< email
Mertz, who arrested two of the iiieti alleged
to have been Williams' assailants,
the colored man was knocked to the
ground and k.cked. Williams sutleied
many body bruises, but it is not thougnt
that any of his injuries are of a serious
nature.
The two men arrested after a chase of
two blocks gave their occupations as
waiter, and it is thought by tae police
that they are members of the union.
The men caught gave their names as
John Dazuffi and Edward Habrie. The
former said that lie was twenty-eight
years old and lived at 41t? K street northwest,
and the latter twenty-one years
old and address as 101 1 s reet northwest.
They were charged with assault
and required to put up $ol) collateral.
Tony Borgna, proprietor of the Coliseum
Cafe at 410 10th street, furnished collateral
for Dezutfi.
Caught After Chase.
At the time of the assault Policeman
Mertz was standing at the corner of 15th
street and New York uvenue and was at- .
tracted by the noise. When the policeman
started toward them the three men
ran to H street, one turning west and
two others east. Mert^ pursued the two
and caught them after a run of another
block, at 14th and H streets. When .
searched at the station, Dazuffi, alleged
to be one of the assai ants, nad $JW00.
The police also arrested William Clark
in connection with tlie assault on Wildani
.Washington Friday midnight on 14th
street near Or.io avenue. Clark was arrested
by Detective Armstrong and booked
at the first precinct for assault. He denied
all knowledge of the attack on

1 Say Strike Is Over.
The managers of both the hotels said
i yesterday that the strike was over as far
, as they were concerned, and that they,
had all the employes needed and had
turned down applications of experienced
men. Un'ess the strikers can persuade
the men now working in the hotels to
join the union and walk out wh? ordered
the employers contend the strike
[ will die a natural death.
The union asserts that as fast as newemployes
report for work at the two
houses that they are joining the union
> and that they will be called out shortly
if the managers refuse to come to terms
with the organization Both hotels, es-,
pecially the Willard, are almost entirely
1 dependent upon colored waiters, but the
union accepts colored men into membership
on the same plane with the white.
Use of Colored Waiters.
According to the present plan, the Ral
elgh will keep the colored waiters In one
of Its dining rooms permanently, but how
long the colored men will be kept at the
Willard is not known. It Is thought that
a change, when made at the Willard.
from colored to white servitors, will bn
gradual. The waiters also claim that they
have organized the colored waiters at the
Cafe Republique, and that they will be 4
called out with those from the hotels.
If the hotels and the strikers come to
an agreement it is probable that lh ?
union will ask the hotels and cafes to have
the pay of the waiters figured out on a
basis of commission on what the waiter
sells. An official of the un.on said ye.-w
terday that It is thought such an agrtement
will be reached in New York. He
c aimed that It will be beneficial to both
the employes and the proprietor. I'ndrr
the present system, he said, the waiter
recommends to the customer the dish
which is the easiest to serve, whereas
if the waiters were class* d as a salesman
working on a com miss on basis it will ha
to his advantage to serve dishes requiring
more cars, but selling for mora
money.
Waiters Collect Data.
The waiters are col'ecting many facts,
which, they claim, If given consideration t
by the employers will conv'nce them that
the demands of the strikers are just,
and it is thought that a settlem< nt will
be reached. Yesterday was the fourth
day of the strike, and the waiters claim
that the local Is gaining in strength
financla ly and numerically.
It was reported that some of the
strikers are being urged by their wives
and families to return to work, and that
many of the wives have written to the
hotels asking that their husbands be
taken back. The hotel managers, how
ever, have said from the first that the
strikers will not be allowed to return
to work under any circumstances. Dally
meetings of the union are held at Costello's
Hall, and the executive committee
meets at the strikers' headquarters. 1331?
