WASHINGTON, July 3d.
w THE report that ever said
Y that l would or would not
deliver the labor vote to any
political party is an infamous lie,"
said Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of
Labor, today.
Organized labor is not only
honest, but intelligent enough to
choose the party for its support
which will best represent its in
terests.
"It is possible that by misrep-
reservations the enemies OF or
ganized labor may injure me per-
sonally and even be successful in
accomplishing my removal as
president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, but that will
never change my course in bat
Ting for the principles for which
| stand.
"It is not a question Of politics with
me. l have no politics, or If l have
thew are the politics of the people.
"I fully expected when 1 took the
stand which 1 have" said Mr.. Com
pers. that some would disagree with
me.
II don't expect the labor world to
accent my conclusions in every IN
stance. l expected to be criticised, too,
in some quarters, but I did not think
that the criticism would be so unjust
as to be contemplate.
"I stand for the right of individual
opinion.
IT regard my position as president
of the American Federation of Labor
as the most exalted and honorable in
this world to which 1 could ever wish
to aspire.
Is a Sacred Trust
"It Is a, sacred trust with which my
fellows have honored me because of
my convictions and the principles
which 1 advocate They may take the
honor away from me IL they like, and
1 will bow to their will, but 1t will not
prevent me from fighting for the cause
which is my lifes work, just as l have
in the past and I purpose to do In the
| future.
II want no political office or honor.

n ARIS, July 3O.-The general strike
of twenty-four hours declared by

n ARIS, July 30.-The general strike
of twenty-four hours declared by
a the General Federation of Labor
as a demonstration and protest against
the illing of workmen by troops at
Vigneux went into effect this morning.
The reports indicate that $4,000 men
of the building and allied trades, in
cluding electricians, stopped work.
No trouble was feared in Paris, but
an extra regiment of cavalry was or
dered to Vigneux, where a gigantic
demonstration is planned.
The authorities have decided TO pre-
vent labor organizations from leaving
Paris by train.
Vigneux was invaded this morning
by several thousand strikers from Paris
carrying red flags and singing Social
istic songs.
While a squadron of cavalry was
passing through the streets the crowds
stoned the soldiers and four shots were
fired at them.
Fortunately no one was hit. The
commander of the cavalry turned his
men down a side street in order to
avoid a collision.
During the afternoon the cavalrymen,
using the flats of their sabers, charged
and dispersed the crowd armed with
stones that had been assembled on the
railroad tracks.
Several Are Injured
Several of the manifestants were
slightly wounded. They were carried
off by their comrades.
The situation grew worse after the
clash at the railroad tracks. The strik-
ers took possession of a building in
process of construction and threw
blocks of stones at the heads of the
| troopers, several of whom were
wounded.
TIE soldiers fired and two strikers
! were seriously wounded.
Later the strikers erected barricades.
Additional troops have been ordered in.
All the stores of Vigheux are closed
and the district is In a state of panic.
By o'clock this evening compara-
tive calm had been restored on account
of the firm and energetic action of the
authorities. The manifestants were
driven from position after position
and finally took a train for Paris. car
rying their wounded with them.
Eyewitnesses describe the fighting
at the barricade as the most serious
incident OF the day.
Fighting is Bitter
The strikers, they say. fought tooth
and nail for half an hour, showering
missiles of all kinds upon the troops.
The situation became so desperate
that the soldiers were ordered to fire
several volleys. first in the air. then at
the mob.
Two men were killed and large
number wounded, fifteen of them seri-
ously by the fire.
The troops finally made a determined
charge and dislodged the workmeD,
who fed without attempting to form
again.
The military suffered severely from
stones thrown by the strikers, and Cen
eral Virvaire and a colonel of the
dragons were struck by revolver bull
lets, but not hurt.

MALONEY'S SWINDLES AMOUNT
TO QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS.

when we were first notified of the
defalcations, it was thought $50, 600
would cover the shortage; then it
went to $75, 900; then up to 500, 900,
and now it is up to or above $500, 900,
which means heavy and terrible losses
to many humble citizens who can i'll
afford to have their savings swept
away in this manner.
Governor Lambremont was asked
what figure seemed to be a fair esti-
mate of the Maloney manipulations.
He replied that from reports made
to him from State officials and others,
he was convinced that it would reach
$500, 900, or go above it.
What about Maloney's notariaI
bond?" was asked.
'That will be looked into and saved
by the State" was the reply. 81 shall
take up the matter of the bond in the
morning. He has $40, 600 bond that
must be solvent. District Attorney
Parker, who has been representing
the States interests, will push the
probing with diligence and firmness.
It is in order to assist and give per-
sonal consideration to the case that
has become so enormous in its pro-
portions that | have determined to re-
main right here several days.

SUMNER WEATHER IN NEW YORK
DRIVES THE PEOPLE OUTDOORS


New York, Oct. 18-New York ex-
perienced the novelty today of dog
day Sabbath in the middle of October.
Though the yellow haze of Indian sum-
mer hung over the park and the har-
Dor and the distant hills, the streets
were full Of August heat, and many
an eye was turned upward in search
of a possible thunderstorm.
A good many straw hats came out
for the occasion. The throng on the
Battery seawall and in Battery Park
was the largest since the summer.
The rush for the Liberty Statue boat
was SO great that an extra steamer
was pressed into service. The crowds
at the Battery gazed at the horse
chestnut trees that were putting out
buds. In Central Park there was a
great outpouring of pedestrians,
though the parade of automobiles and
vehicles was not as great as usual,
owing to the heat. The Central Park
zoo and the Bronx zoo both had a
a record breaking attendance.

the pyrotechnic display. From Pilsen
