w. A. Miller, the foreman Of the book
binders. who was dismissed from the
Government printing office because he
had been expelled from the local Book
binders Union and who was subsequently
reinstated by order of President Roose-
welt, but deferred action. The case was
under consideration by the executive
council for some time, but all that was
made public concerning 1t is embraced
Is the following official statement:
James W. Dougherty. secretary OF the Inter
national Bookbinders' Union. accompanied by
committee OF that organization. appeared be-
fore the executive council in the William A.
Miller case The matter was thoroughly gone
into. documents read and a copy Of the evi-
dence submitted Further consideration OF the
subject was deferred until later in the present
session.
The council awarded Jurisdiction Of
putty glazing to the brotherhood of
painters and decorators. The Amalga-
mated Glass Workers International Asso-
citation was denied Jurisdiction over plate
glass and cathedral glass makers. The
dispute between the Machinists' Associ-
alton and that of the Allied Metal Ne
ehanics was compromised by an agree
ment that the international Association
of Allied Metal Mechanics shall call a
constitutional convention to be attended
by delegate of the International Associ-
alton of Machinists for the purpose of
effecting a working agreement between
the two organizations. A charter was
denied to the National Die Cutters and
Makers because various branches already
are under the jurisdiction of existing in
ternational unions. An application for a
charter was denied in the case of the In
ternational Union Of Sign Painters. Pres
ident Gompers was authorized to call a
convention for the formation OF an inter-

Latest Attack Upon Russian Jews,
Though Less Bloody Than Kishe-

Cruel Features.

GOMEL, Government of Mobile Russia,
Sept. 21.-The Associated Press CORE
spondent has made an investigation on
the spot of the "pogrom." as the Rus
SLAMS describe the anti-Semite riots which
occurred here September II and were re-
newed for several days. The riots were
smaller, but perhaps more remarkable
than those which took place at Kisheney
because the police and military openly
aided the plunderers and murderers. the
'pogromshiks, as the Russians called
them. The troops. supported by many
educated and well-to-do Christians
formed a movable shield behind which
the ''pogromshiks" ruthlessly demolished
the Jewish homes and shops and cruelty
dubbed such Jews as fell into their
hands, leisurely proceeding from street to
street and from district to district as they
did so.
The commerce and industry of Gomel,
which is considerable, is largely in the
hands of the Jewish population, number
ing $4,000. Few of the residents are
wealthy, but none is a pauper The Jew
ish artisans incline to socialism.
The trouble began September II, holi-
day, the day Of the beheading Of john
the Baptist, in wrangle in the fruit and
fish market between Moujiks (peasants)
and Jews. The wrangle ended in a free
fight, in which many were wounded, one
moujik succumbing to his injuries.
The moujiks demanded vengeance and
employed the following days, Saturday
and Sunday, in infiaming the anti-Semitic
named Pensh and a rich merchant named

STATISTICIAN DISCUSSES
MORTALITY IN CITIES
DR.. Karl Ballod Says Berlin Ranks
First for Healthfulness and
Paris Last.

BERLIN, Sept. 2S.-Dr. Karl Ballod
read a paper to-day before the Interna-
tional Statistical Conference on the NOR
tality in large cities, contending that
cities having population of a million in
Western Europe were healthier than
smaller cities, because the latter's sani-
tary precautions were far inferior to those
of the larger cities.
Berlin, he said, was the more healthfuI
and London and Vienna came next. Paris
was the worst of all. Country populations
were the least healthy, but country peo-
pie going to the cities were healthier than
town-bred people. While the rural popu-
lations were stationary in Germany since
1871, the cities had doubled their popu-
lations and the country was increasing
in population by nearly a million a year.

EXPECTED THE "PoGRoM."

Everybody knew that a pogrom would
occur on Monday and the Jews appealed
for protection to Chief of Police Ravaki
who summoned an infantry regiment
from its summer encampment. Thus
there were 1900 soldiers in the town. At
luncheon hour on Monday the anti
Semitic railway worl1men to the number
of some hundreds began an organized at
tack on the Jewish houses in Zsmoovoky
street. sacking them and demolishing or
spelling the bulky articles by soaking
them with kerosene. Police Chief Ravaki
had placed police and troops on the "a
moovoky, but they acted as though they
intended to protect the pogromshiks from
interference The Jews from the outside
who attempted to rescue their co-religion-
lists were bruta1ly dubbed by the soldiers
guns, bayoneted or arrested. Meanwhile
recruits for the pogromshil<s poured in
steadily over the bridge leading from the
railway workshops. A bystander begged
the commander of the gendarmerie to
send troops to guard the exit from the
bridge. The officer replied threatening
the man with arrest and saying: I'VE
know what we have to do"
The plunderers now proceeded from
street to street, the troops and police fol-
lowing them and cutting off access to the
devastated Jewish houses. They subse-
quently visited the Jewish quarter called
America" then Konnaya Square, the
upper end Of Roumianzovskaya street, the
principal thoroughfare of the town, and
the district called Caucasus"

ture and effects. even the samovars, sew

refuge with compassionate Christians or
conceal themselves in cellars were Sc
verely beaten and in many cases dan
gerously wounded Some young Jews. ex-
asperated by the action of the police and
troops, armed themselves with any avail
able weapons and tried to force their
way to the threatened houses. One Jew
ess attempted to shoot a non-commis-
stoned officer and twenty-five revolver
shots were heard in the vicinity of the
bazaar, but were apparently fired in the
air one was hurt.
The police then undertook to disarm the
Jews. Forty building laborers collected
in the busiest part of Roumianzovskaya
street and stopped and beat every passing
Jew. This gang was encouraged by As
sistant Police Captain Charlononsky and
Rural Police Commander Yeleinski. The
gang dubbed Berg Kevesh to death in the
presence of these officers, and after the
victim had been removed to the hospital
Yeleinsk continued an amicable CONVEX
sation with the murderers, none of whom
was arrested. The Jews rallied in force
at Kennaya square at o'clock in the
afternoon, when the military fired on
them, killing three and wounding others.
Presumably on the Governors instruc-
lions, the military employed their fire
arms against the pogromshiks in the
Caucasus killing three This action and
nightfall put an end to the pogrom.
DISORDERS RENEWED.
Four hundred peasants arrived in Gomel
early the following day (Tuesday) but
were easily driven away by the military.

two more on Wednesday. after which no

the trains leaving the city were crowded
with a thousand Jewish families. The
Christian dead numbered five. of whom
the troops shot three. Ten Christians are
recorded as wounded.

to identify ninety-five pogromshiks hut

These hours are shortened for the
younger children. On Wednesday
and Saturday afternoons the schools
are closed. What seems strange to
us is that all studying is done out Of
school. A class not having & recita-
ton, therefore, is sent home, and so
it happens that few children are all
OF the six hours a day in school, as
the above hours would seem to indi-
cate. The very little ones, for in
stance, may be in school from eight
to nine, from eleven to twelve, and
from two to three, the intervening
time being spent at home in play or
study. In consequence of this out-of-
school study, all books, pencils, and
stationery are taken home at the
close of the morning and afternoon
sessions. This has given rise TO the
use of knapsacks by both girls and
boys. These knapsacks are made of
leather either dressed or with the
hair on.

ton beyond that afforded by the
