pere, president of the American Federa
tion of Labor, is ' being mads to feel
quite at home in the Pan-American La
bor congress here, A movement among
radicals in the conclave has begun, de
Signed to weaken Gompers' influence.
Gompers long has been under the
fire of radicals both in the United States
and in foreign countries. His bitterest
fight occurred in the international labor
conference held In Europe two years ago
when he came into contact with the
radical labor element more highly or
ganized than it is on this side of the
water.

Havana, Cuba, Jan. 13.' (CP.)
The murder of Walter J. Shannon
of St. Louis has focused attention on
the orgy of gambling In ' this city,
which has surpassed Monte i Carlo
as the gaming center of the world.
Friends of Shannon, who Is believed
to have been killed by a taxi 'driver for
his roulette winnings at the Grand
Casino, were planning today to ask
American Minister Long to appeal to
the Cuban government for a federal In
vestigation. The mutilated body of Shannon, who
waa a ticket agent for the Peninsular
and Occidental Steamship company, was
found on the beach near the Grand
Casino. 1 ; ;
The Grand Casino, which is operated
under a concession and practically has
a monopoly on the particular type of
gaming it conducts, is frequented night
ly by hundreds of men and women. The
rich fittings of the place and the formal
attire of the "guests" gives it an j air
of nocial distinction. . ! ...
the roulette wheels, of which there
are usually four to six in constant play,
furnish the most popular form of gam
bling. It is estimated that the play av
eraus $50,000 nightly and on Saturday
and Sunday evenings two or three times
that amount. On one occasion the pres
ident of a Havana bank is reported to
have lost $87,000 at one sitting. One
prominent sugar planter Is understood
to have dropped $400,000 at the wheel,
last spring.

Following the rush of buying the first three days of the opening
sale mapy men were disappointed because the kind ofisuits and overcoats their
friends had bought were not to be found in the stock that remained. We re
gretted it, but we were unable to console them in any manner. However, along
about the fifth day of the sale, the big clothing manufacturers hearing of the
success of this event saw a golden opportunity to take advantage of this event
and not only assist us in the continuation of it but help themselves by selling
some of the men's clothing which they had in stock due. to the lack of orders. I
We were quick to see the favorable position we were in. We
could go to the leading clothing manufacturers and choose indiscriminately
from their stocks any garments ho matter how much they were made to be sold I
for and get them at a price so as to sell them for $36.00. ,i
