JOHN MITCHELL LEADER OF FAC,

Contest Between the Forces Is One Of
Secret Battles Within the Labor

Canal. ~,

Minneapolis, Nov. 20.-President
Gompers plans to make politics the
dominating force of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, and, to make himself
the absolute dictator of the fedora
tons political policy, has divided the
notional convention into two camps.
The contest is one of the secret bat
ties within the convention and has not
yet reached the surface.
Gompers wants a free hand. A
strong element in the convention wants
to give him free hand
On the other hand, it is known that
his present executive council is not
enthusiastically in favor of too much
politics."
The strongest man in this group is
John Mitchell. While he gave faint
and qualified assent to the recent cam
paign. he is known to be friendly to
| President Roosevelt and he believes
that since Roosevelt arbitrated the
coal strike he can be depended upon
to do the right thing for the working
men without their taking the big stick
in their hands and clubbing him to
| it.
4 0OHlS ARC EuNCWdIIs
John Mitchell made just two
speeches in the recent political cam
paign. His friends claim that these
ewo speeches elected two members of
his own union to congress Nichols
and Wilson.
Duncan, Keefe and Huber, and some
other members Of the present execu-
tive council are said to be with Nit
chell. They believe in keeping the po-
litical program in the background.
Those who are experienced in the
work of federation conventions be-
lfeve that the Gompers element will
win in the political matter. There is
also possibility that the time of FIJI.
ture conventions may be changed from
the middle Of November to the middle
of September, thus bringing future
conventions before the date of cleo
ton, The idea is to bring representa-
tiyes of the national organizations and
local bodies from all parts of the coun
try together on the eve of election in
time to add impetus and enthusiasm
to the political campaign.
Child Labor Problem.
i Senator Beverages proposed ma
tional law prohibiting child labor was
voted unconstitutional. The fedora
ton adopted resolution demanding
the enactment of rigid state laws.
President Gompers led the discus
sion. He objected to the original word
ing of the resolution, which recon
mended that the American Fedora

Differences Between Men and Employ

New York, Nov. 1.-The differences between the New York Transportation company and it's striking chauffeurs to- night are far from settled, the corpora tloRs automobiles are barely being run at all and riotous actions supposedly by striking or by other sympathizers occurred to-day and tonight To-night there was a veritable hand-to-hand 1lght between policemen and a crowd or several hundred who were stoning automobiles of the company. Missiles of all sorts were thrown and night- sticks We're piled in lively fashion. One policeman was severely hurt. During the afternoon a Pittsburg young won1- an narrowly escaped being seriously harmed. Strike sympathizers stoned the chauffeur of an electric vehicle in which she was riding under the impres- slon that he was a strike-breaker. An attack upon the driver of another of the company's vehicles late to-day re- suited in the injury of the machine. and several arrests.

STATEMENT REGARDING
 MRS. EDDY'S FINANCES
CHURCH HAS NOTHING WHAT- EVER TO DO WITH HER
 FORTUNE.

It is Her Property and Consists of
 Legitimate Wage for Her Services as
 n Teacher of Christian Science--Em-
 possible for Her Ever to be Mill-
 ionaire-Never Received Any Money
 From Christian Science Church With
 Exception of s5,OOO for Work in
 Boston.
 Boston. Nov. 1.-Alfred Harlow of this city, head of the Christian Science Publication bureau, tonight issued a statement concerning the financial af- fairs of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy. The statement is, in part, as follows
 "The New York World of to-day pu'b- fishes the following statement: The World is in a position to say positively that Boston lawyers were to-day con- suited by fair minded Christian Scien- lists, who were convinced of Mrs. Eddy.s collapse, and will force Calvin 4. Frye and others in actual control of Mrs. Eddy to tell what has become of her big fortune, estimated by those who should know at nearly S15,O00 600.
 q have just returned from Mrs. Ed dy's home and am pleased to inform the World that she is well and happy and is at her desk, giving instructions to her secretary, Mir. Frye and conduct ing he roWn affairs.
 "The church has nothing whatever to do with Mrs. Eddy's fortune, whether 1t be large or small. It is CT own prop erty and consists of a legitimate wage for her services as a teacher of Chris tian Science and the legitimate prof. its on her books. Mrs. Eddy is not a trustee for any church funds, and therefore has DO accounting Ito render to Christian Scientists. The church has no jurisdiction over her private hold ings and therefore no more right to know what disposition she makes ot them than they have Ito inquire about the private affairs of any other citizen Even a casual observer, with slight knowledge of arithmetic, can readily estimate that 1t is impossible for Mrs Eddy ito be even millionaire. l hold in my possession an aff1davite made by Edward L, Pride, the auditor of the books of the Christian Science church which states that Mrs. Eddy has never receivew any money from the Christian Science church with tn exception o1 $5,000 which was rendered to her bS the directors of the church for ser. vices rendered during the erection o. the extension of the mother church Q. Boston, Mir. Pride is we'll knowr business man and is not a Christian Scientist.
 "No Boston lawyers or any other law yers have been consulted by Christian Scientists with reference to interfer ing with the duties and accomplish ments of Mrs. Eddy's faithful secretary nor has there been any talk of such ar action, nor any occasion for talk on tn, subject"

B. AND A. EXPRESS STRUCK
STAMFORD LOCAL RUNS INTO IT
 WHILE STALLED.
Two Hundred Passengers or More in the Express and Are Severely Shaken No One Fatally Hurt-Collision oc- CUTS at 1o4th Street, New York Brakeman the worst Injured.

New York, Nov. 1.-About il o'clock between two trains on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad at One Hundred and Sixty-fourth street and Park avenue, in the Bronx, in which three passengers were seriously injured and a number of others less so The engine of the rear train struck the rear car of the forward train, which was a sleeper, and telescoped it about one-fourth of it's length. The injured were all in this car. It is said that the forward train was stalled at the time of the collision. The brakeman of this car Is missing.
 The Boston and Albany express which left Boston at p. m. and was due at the Grand Central station in this city at 1922 tonight stalled on the tracks of the New York; New Haven and Hartford railroad at One Hundred and Sixty-fifth street and Park avenue, the Bronx, at 10:30.
 The Stamford local following 1t ran into the rear ear of the express. It is said that the usual red lights showed on the rear of the forward train and that a brakeman had been sent back to flag any trains following. The two hundred or more passenger in the ex- press train were severely shaken up, but no one, so far as learned tonight, was fatally hurt A brakeman on the express train was the worst injured. He was removed to the Roosevelt hos pital One woman passenger had her nose broken.
 The last car of the express train was a parlor car. The engine of the local train was forced into 1t for about five feet, wrecking lthe platform and vesti- ble and smashing in the rear wall.
 John Murphy, engineer, and Edward Moore, conductor of the local, jumped before the crash and escaped injury. Henry Desmond conductor of the ex- press was painfully cut by breaking glass. The staIling of the express, it is said, was dueto misplaced rail. While the express was waiting the Stamford local crashed into it. There were about twenty passengers in the rear car of the express andthey suffered the most from the shock. Among them was Ar thur D. Turner, an officer of marines attached to the U. s. S. Hancock, who suffered cuts from shattered glass. He as well as the others was taken to the 1 Grand Central station and attended by the railroad physician.

CONCERN IN ENGLAND.
Caused by Newfoundland's Decision to
 Test Validity of Modus Yivendi.

London, Nov, 1.-The dispatches an- nouncing that the Newfoundland gov ernment had decided to test the valid ity of the modus vivendi between the United States and Great Britain on he fisheries question has created concern at the colonial office, which, however, declined to impart any information on the subject, except that a constant ex- change of telegrams with the governor of Newfoundland was in progress and it was hoped at an early date to submit the papers to parliament. It was point ed out that prosecution of the fisher men, when they are paid off, would presumably be towards the end of De- cember, by which time the modus vi- vendi expires.
