LABOR SUNDAY PROPOSED Churches of Country Asked to Con sider Labor Questions on Sunday Preceding 1-abor Day Strike of Lake Seamen Indorsed. - TORONTO. Ont.. Nov. 16. Congres " Bional investigation of the steel industry, " as it relates to labor, was indorsed today - by the executive council of the American ' federation of Labor. It was decided to petition Congress to appoint a special committee to investigate methods employed by all great steel cor- porations and. If it is found that the tariff is being used to maintain corpora- tlon profits rather than to improve ln- - dustrial conditions, the Federation will i recommend that the tariff on steel be " suspended. The council also was authorized to levy ', assessments when necessary to provide for assisting In strikes against the Unl ted States Steel Corporation. 4 It was decided to designate the Sun- day preceding Labor day as Labor Sun- Jay, and to request churches of America t to consider labor questions on that day. J The convention went on record as favor v ing the organization of employes of the I shipbuilding Industry along the Atlantic Coast. ; A resolution expressing dissatisfaction with the work of Organizer Arthur A. Hay In Southern California, and recom ... mending his removal, was referred to the executive council for Investigation. In connection with a resolution indors ing the strike of seamen on the Great. Lakes, and pledging the moral and finan cial support of the federation, the con vention was addressed by J. Havelock Wilson, M. P., president and organizer of the Seamen's Union of Great Britain. The convention was urged to adopt the resolution by V. A. Olander. of Chicago, general secretary of the Lake Seamen's "I'nion. and Andrew Furuzeth, of San - Francisco, general secretary of the Pa : ciflc Coast Seamen's Union. The latter declared that when the fight of the Seamen's Union was finished. ("there would be very little left of the lit tJe that now existed of the merchant ma- 'rine of the United States." The strike on the Great Lakes has been tn progress since April, 1908, and 9000 men are Involved. The resolution was unan imously adopted. GOMPERS MAT SEEK WRIT Labor Cillers Due to File Notices of Appeal Monday. WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. President Samuel Gompers, Vice-President John Mitchell and Secretary Frank Morrison, of the American Federation of Labor, who are under sentence on the charge of contempt of court, will not have to return to Washington from Toronto to appear before the District Court of Ap peals to file notice of their appeal until Monday next. It is expected they will then sue out a writ of habeas corpus, and should the Judge then refuses to discharge them, appeal to the United States Supreme Court. General Strike Opposed. NEW YORK. Nov. 16. The strike of the 2.000,000 members of the American Federation1 of Labor should the United States Supreme Court decide the contempt cases against Messrs. Gompers. Mitchell and Morrison, proposed by the Central Federation of Philadelphia, is not ap proved by local labor leaders. Presi dents and other officers of the largest unions in this city declare that the plan would violate all pending agreements with employers, which would be fatal to labor organizations, and therefore the calling of such a strike would be the hardest blow the American Federation could give Itself. BARREL TRAPS FUGITIVE Girls Pummel Purse-Snatcher Until Police Arrive. NEW YORK, Nov. 16. Through the homely medium of a pickle' barrel, Sarah Kresser, of 59 Hester street, and Rebecca Decovnick, of 25 LuqUow street, embroid ery workers, became near-heroines and were told by Magistrate O'Connor, in Es sex Market Court, that medals ought to be conferred upon them. The girls are only 16 years old, and they blushed when they heard this. Incidentally, the pickle barrel doesn't deserve any particular credit. The girls doubtless would have been Just as brave had it been any one of 57 other varieties of obstacles that held up the man they were chasing, and allowed them to pum mel him until the police arrived. They were on their way to work In the morning when, in front of No. 55 Hester street, a young man nudged Sarah Kres ser, snatched her purse and ran. They gave instant pursuit and were only a few paces behind when at Ludlow street the pickle barrel intruded and the fugitive fell over it. The girls were going so fast that they fell on top of him, but they were quick enough to take advantage of the situation and their little fists did good execution on his frontispiece. A few minutes later the man was rescued by a policeman, who arrested him. WARRINERIS INJAIL Warrant Is Also Issued -for Mrs. Stewart Ford. FRIENDS FAIL TO APPEAR Ex-Officlai of Big Four Railroad Pleads Not Guilty to Indictment and Is Taken to County Jail in Cincinnati. CINCINNATI, O.. Nov. 16. Charles L. Warriner, former local treasurer of the Big Four Railroad, Is in Jail tonight and a warraTit has been Issued for the arrest of Mrs. Jeanette Stewart Ford on a charge -of receiving J1000 of the 1643.000 Warriner is accused of having em bezzled. The warrant against Mrs. Ford was issued at 7:S0 o'clock tonight upon appli cation of Prosecutor Hunt, who had been closeted the greater part of the day with Warriner. The former railroad official informed the prosecutor that he had given part of the money he Is alleged to have taken to Mrs. Ford and that the last payment he had made was on Oc tober 1. The prosecutor acted on this informa tion. Warriner appeared this afternoon to plead to Indictments returned yesterday charging him with embezzlement and grand larceny. He entered a formal plea of not guilty. His bond was fixed at $20,000, the same as before his indictment. The four men, however, who had come to his assistance when he was first ar rested were not In evidence to renew their pledges. At 5 o'clock none of his friends had appeared and Warriner was taken, to the county Jail. A dramatic sequel to the sensational turn in the case was enacted late to night, when a half-score of Constables and deputies went to the handsomely furnished apartments of Mrs. Stewart Ford and arrested her. She was placed in Jail in default of bail. That a warrant charging a Chicago man, formerly in the employ of the Big Four, with being an accomplice in the alleged blackmailing of Warriner. would also be taken out in connection with the arrest of Mrs. Stewart Ford, was reported tonight. C. A. Bostrom and Ensign S. Doherty. U. 8. S. Milwaukee, made an inspection today of a location in the Palos Verdes Hills, back of San Pedro harbor, for a proposed naval rifle range. Inspection will be made of proposed sites at Port Townsend and Tacoma. HARRY THAW MAKES SCENE Asylum Physician Called In to Settle Issue of Luncheon. NEW YORK, Nov. 16. Harry K. Thaw, who was brought here today from the Matteawan Asylum to testify in the suit of Dr. A. McL. Hamilton to recover fiom Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw $7000 for pro fessional services, created a scene at the courthouse over the question of where he should eat luncheon. The Constables in charge were taking him to a restaurant near the court building, but Thaw Insist ed on going to the financial district. He became so noisy that a large crowd collected, and Br. Baker, of the asylum, was obliged to Interfere. SL PAUL RAISES RATES TRAXS-PACIFIC TARIFF AVAR ' MAV THUS BE AVERTED. Similar' Changes Will Be Made by Canadian Pacific, Making Var ious Charges Proportional. ' CHICAGO, Nov. Itf. (Special.) In or der to avert a rate war the management of the St. Paul road has receded some what from the position it assumed "more than a year ago on Oriental traffic. No tice has been given of an increase In the proportional rates In effoet on the St. Paul road on a large number of commodi ties which are shipped Into this country from the Orient. Similar changes will be made by the Canadian Pacific, so that all transconti nental lines will be charging the sam proportional rates on Imports .from China, Japan, and the Philippines. The change in the 'proportions reoelved by the St. Paul and the Canadian Pacific roads will make no difference in the through rates which are charged shippers, btit It will have an effect upon the Imports Xrom the Orient. ,In connection with the change it is un derstood that the other roads tried to In duce the St. Paul and the Canadian Pa cific to make a corresponding increase in their proportions on export traffic. The demand was refused, but It Is not likely to lead to a rate disturbance. More than a year ago the Interstate Commerce Commission ruled 'that the railroads must publish the proportions of the through Import and export rates which they received on Oriental business.
