Formed Today-President Gompers
Sending Urgent Message Asking
Them to Desist.

While C. p. Shea, reelected president,
and other officers Of his staff were
winding up the affairs Of the conven-
ton of the old organization, the new
one was in process Of formation. 1t Is
the purpose of the new organization
not to hold an election until after the
Shea convention shall have adjourned,
and thus, it is hoped, secure reinforce
ments to their ranks inasmuch as
many would-be officers of the Broth
erhood who were defeated In the elec-
tion yesterday are expected to seek
office in the new organization. Mean
time Frank Morrison, secretary OF the
American Federation Of Labor, with
which the brotherhood is allied, is hur-
rying to Chicago with a message from
Samuel Gompers. The message is an
appeal to the anti-Shea contingent to
discontinue the secession movement.
Secretary Morrison will arrive tomor-
row and address the "seceders." The
anti-Shea meeting today was attended
by 1aO teamsters, who claim to repre-
sent forty three different unions thru
out the United States. The delegates
went on record as opposing political
action such as advocated by the Ann
erican Federation of Labor.

rus girls. Mr. Ziegfeld met one of his
New York theatrical friends at rail-
road station in Paris a little while ago,
and the conversation drifted to the
Thaw tragedy. Mr.. Ziegfeld expressed
surprise that the authorities had not
obtained evidence which would go
long way toward clearing up the case.
.aThe tragedy occurred several days
prior to my last trip from America,
said Mr.. Ziegfeld. 1T was the principal
subject of conversation on deck and at
the table. Among the passengers was

know.
"SAe told me that she accompanied
two other members of my old COM
pany to pay a farewell visit to White
in the tower of Madison Square Gar

SCORES MORAL CODE
Another Startling Outbreak at the
Chicago University-Professor Will
lam Thomas upholds the Social Evil
Defends Irregular Lives"

Chicago. Aug. lO--'Prof William l..
Thomas. the University of Chicago so
ciologst, has come forward with dec
laration that throws all recent upheav-
ais at the Midway school into the far
distant background. His pronounce
ment is in the form of virulent at
tack on Americas social system and
defense of institutions not recognized
by the orthodox moral code His
views are set forth In an article on
"The Adventitious Character of Wo-
man." in the American Journal Of So
ciology, issued yesterday from the uni
versity press.
A psychological defense of the SO
cial evel," the claim that women of
loose habits make "uncommonly good
wives" that most American women are
merely house ca,s," leading abnormal
lives and reduced to- condition OF
parasitism, and that women have been
driven to "trickery, indirection and hy-
pocrisy," are few of his most START
ling statements.
Professor Thomas believes with Pro-
fessor Zueblin that marriage condi-
tions are degenerating because of the
absolute economic dependence of wo-
man on man. His expressed views are
more radical than those Of Professor
Zueblin, who recently was reported
falsely as being an advocate of free
love-" He recommends that women
take up different forms of work as a
means of alleviating their false aosi-
tion.
In discussing the course Of women
who are freed from restraint he writes:
The theory that accounts for the
short career of the fast woman on the
score of an early death is well-ngh
groundless. Society simply cannot
keep track of these women; and the
world is so large that they reappear in
the ordinary walks of life, marry and
are given i'm marriage-and the world
is no wiser.
There are thousands of girls leading
irregular lives in our large cities whose
parents think they are i'm factories,
stores and business positions, and
many Of them will return to their ma
tive communities, or drift farther, and
be married and make good wives-un-
commonly good wives, many of them,
because they have had their fling. If
you drive nature out at the door she
will come back thru the window and
this interest in great stimulation is,
believe, the dominant force in determ-
lining the choice-or rather, the drift
of the so-called sporting woman. She
is seeking what, from the psychologist
cal standpoint, may be called abnormal
life.
1.-The American woman of the better
classes has superior rights and no du-
ties, and yet she is worrying herself to
death because she has lost her cons
nection with reality. Many women,
more intelligent and energetic than
their husbands and brothers, have no
more serious occupations than to play
the house cat, with or without orna-
nent. 1t is wonder that more %.
them do not lose their minds; and that
more of them do not break with the
system entirely is due solely to the in
habitive effects of early habit and sug-
gestiOn.
