A CANNON FLAYED BY LABOR CHIEF Gorppers Asserts Speaker Is Worse Enemy of Reform Than Rockefeller. NARROW OLD POLITICIAN Head of Labor Federation Invadea Cannon's Home and Denounces Him tor Appointing Labor Committee Hostile to Labor. DANVILLE, IlUSept. 7. (Special.) If "Uncle Joe" Cannon listened hard thia afternoon as he sat on the front porch of hla home here, talking to old neighbors and enjoying the beauty of an early Fall day. his mind at rast and his feet cocked with the same angle s his black cigar, he might have heard the applause of S6.000 labor men In Lincoln Park, as they listened in evi dent delight to a nice, brown roasting administered to the venerable states man by President ' Oompers. of the American Federation of Labor. Among the things Mr. Gompers said was this: T'ncle Joe Cannon stands in this country as the worst enemy of eco nomic, social and political reform that the people have." Mr. Oompers read and Indorsed an editorial which appears In the current Issue of a weekly magailne. which de clares that of the two evils menacing this country Rockefeller and Cannon the Speaker is the greater evil. The Speaker was pictured by Mr. Oompers as an obstructionist of the deepest, most corporation-bound type. Mr. Cannon was a hide-bound, nar row, old politician who sees no good In any reform, according to the labor leader, who berated the people for go ing "sheepllke" to the polls every elec tion and sending this man to Congress. He said: 'The committee on .labor In the House of Representatives was created by the demand of labor. The members always are appointed with the idea of shaping bills according to the needs of labor. Under Mr. Cannon this commit tee developed such hostility that I asked htm to appoint another one com posed of more sympathetic members. He not only ignored my letter, but the committee ho appointed was much more antagonistic than the first one. Chair man nardner was at one time brow beaten by Cannon because he intro duced a bill we wanted. A reeiana, a henchman of the genial Uncle Joe, la w rr-tlra.llv the chairman." "Labor leaders have constantly ap- .r.A In Concress asking for legislation favorable to the laboring men. All they got was some flimsy bit of statute of no practical benefit. Then we went be ih iat National Republican con vention. Some one said we got a plank on labor there. I want to tell you it whnl wrtArioile. ir Onmners declared that he was neither a Democrat nor a Republican. rXEMPLOYED MARCH STREETS Ilold Labor Day Counter Demon, stration In 'New York. mf.w tork. SeDt. ".A perfect Au- 4nmn day. with clo idleaa skies, cool, ln- vtrnratinc air. gave labor's hosts the op .port unity for display today, and they h most of it. Forty thousand .strong, they marched from early morning until mid-afternoon through thronged streets. At the same time hundreds of lesa fortunate, who had banded, tnem selves together under the banner of the unemployed, were participating In a counter-demonstration. The holiday throughout the city was practically gen eral, and hundreds of thousand taking advantage of the delightful weather crowded trains, trolleys and steamers to shore resorts. A quarrel between the members of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, who marched in the parade, and the members of the American Teamsters' As sociation, who did not. enlivened the march and threatened to make serious trouble. Policemen prevented any serious disorder. . .i,n.MiH and carried Coughlin to the Oyster Bay town hall, where he was arraigned beiore justice m .. Peace Franklin on a charge of carry ing concealed weapons. Justice Frank lin committed Coughlin to the county Jail at Mineola. cougnun win uo : .min.d ms to his sanity. According to ,1,. ,rrpr service men. Coughlin told them that he had been confined for three years In an asyium ior me i ti me. Th President had returned from a fenraeback ride only a short time before Coughlin appeared at Sagamore Hill. Ha did not witness the arrest of the crank and had not been Informed of the occur rence this evening. The news that an armed crank had at tempted to reach the President at Saga more Hill started a rumor that a snoi had been fired at the President while he was out horseback riding last Saturday. It was said that the president was rid ing along the Cove road near the house of his cousin. W. Eralen Roosevelt, when he was fired upon by some one concealed in a clump of bushes at the roadside. That there was any foundation for the story was denied by those in a position to know. James Sloan, Jr., the chief of the President's guard of secret service men, emphatically denied the story of the ambush. MOORS ROUTED BY FRENCH RELIEVING ARMY DISPERSES BESIEGING HORDES. PEACEFTXi IX SAX FK AX CISCO Cltj Has First Strikeless Labor Day In Years. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 7. 'With In dustrial peace for the first time in sev eral years prevailing in every branch of organised labor in San Francisco. Labor day was celebrated in this city today with two monster parades of organized labor in the morning and literary exer cises, athletic sports and picnics in the afternoon and evening. The absence of all industrial strife and the peace and quiet with which today's celebrations were held was in sharp contrast to the turbulent scenes, riots and bloodshed of Labor day last year during the strike of the streetcar men and other organizations, when several people were killed and maimed. RAPID ADVANCE OF LABORER Mitchell Scores "Rich-Richer" The ory Flings Away Ambition. MARION, 111.. Sept. 7.

CRANK AFTER ROOSEVELT (Continued Prom first Pass.) Sloan came to his assistance, Sloan searched the prisoner and found In his hip pocket a 11-ealiber revolver of the "bulldog" type. The weapon was wrapped In a woolen bag and accord ing to the secret service men, was not loaded.

The column of 6000 men under Colonel Allix marched out from Boudenalb thie morning In the direction of the enemy's camp at DJorf. When half the distance had been traversed the French en countered the Arabs, who with reckless courage hurled themselves on the front and flanks simultaneously seeking to cut off Boudenalb, but the artillery kept up a terrific Are. in the face of which the Arabs were unable to approach to close quarters. They returned again and again to the charge, leaving their dead in heaps, but finally became discouraged and retired.
