opoly. The president-elect had been asked
whether the blg-cbrrespondence he re

for granted you will carry our ' the
pledges made in your campaign

standing between the International
Association of Steam and Hot Water

Denied Recognition by Federation,
So far as the American Federation

America. This declaration was made
yesterday by President Gompers and
the convention upheld him when after
an all-day debate and by a vote of

The reason given by President Gom

ation. London, Nov. 14. Its armies beaten
In every battle of the month's war, its
broken forces now backed into the
last ditch in front of Constantinople,
Turkey has appealed to Bulgaria, one
of the four victorious allies, for an
armistice pending .the beginning ol
peace negotiations.' Bulgaria, how
ever, with her armies at the gates ol'
the Ottoman capital, Is unlikely to
consent to an armistice except on con
ditions of full military advantage.
Should Sofia accept an armistice, it
would not affect conditions in other
parts of European Turkey where
forces of the remaining three allies
have engaged Ottoman troops.
While Turkey's move for cessation
of hostilities has smoothed the path
of diplomacy and may result In leav
ing Constantinople, the Dardanelles
and some other European possessions
In Ottoman control, yet the position
of Albania and Servla's ambition for
an Adriatic port still present difficul
ties. .However it. is believed the Eu

of the difficulties, . -
