Especial to The Postl

Chicago, November 1s-A new labor
party to snatch political control from the
dominant parties in Chicago. and to con.
duct public affairs for the benefit Of the
wage earners is to be launched by the
trade unlonlsts Of this city. II is estimated
that the wage earners cast more than
10000 OF the 100000 votes in this city.
and that the proportion holds good
throughout the State. The claim IS made
that the laborng men are unable TO secure
favorable legislation through the old par
ties, and that the only deliverance from
alleged abuses Is the formation of third
party which shall be primarily in the
interest Of the working people The lead
crs are OF the opinion that II the wage
earners will stand sGldly together on such
a platform they will be able 10 carry
everything BEIGE them at the polls and
elect an unblokcn ticket Of labor men 10

burg Burglary and Murder.
WASHINGTON. July GA man
claiming to be James Gray, formerly of
Union Pier. Mich. and Chicago, was
arrested here to-day on suspicion of
being implicated In the Fosburgh muir
der at Pittsheld, Mass. Gray had just
stepped out of Jail aIter serving fif-
teen days for stealing a hat from a
hotel when detectives re-arrested him.
Affidavlts secured by Chief of Detec-
tlves Titus, of New York, from women
there charge a man named Gray with
committing a burglary and shooting a
woman about the same time and in the
same vicinity as the tosburgh tragedy
occurred. Detective Captain Berdman
learned three days ago that Gray was
taking an unsual interest in reports OF
the Fosburgh trial and spent much
time in its discussion. Gray told de-
teetives that he was from indianapolis,
but authorities there have no trace of
him. To-day he said his father lived
there and he himself had lived at Union
Pier, then went to Chicago, and later
was employed on a railroad at Cumber-
land, Nd
Gray was later released, the author
tiles being convinced that he had no
connection with the Fosburgh case.

arose and throwing her arms about his
