BOMB EXPLODED BENEATH
PORCH OF CHICAGO HOME
Inmates Escape Injury from Outrage
Which Police Think May Be
Due to Labor Union
Differences

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 1e.--A bomb placed
under the front porch Of a house at
20e2 North Albany avenue exploded
last night. It demolished the porch
and broke all the windows in the front
part of the building.
No one was injured in the house,
which is occupied by Albert Olson and
Albert Kuntz, the former living in the
basement. The explosion tore out the
front OF the door.
Olson's family includes his wife and
three children. Kuntz' family consists
of his wife and two children. The for
mer, who owns the little property, is a
woodworker, and the suggestion was
made by the police that the differences
between the woodworkers and carpen-
ters--rival unions-might be at the
bottom of the trouble. However, Olson
was not inclined to give this theory
much credence. The loss is 5000.

GOMPERS ARGUES FOR
ORGANIZED LABOR
OBJECTS TO ASSOCIATION OF
TERM "ANARCHY"
Says Unions viii Not Be Driven Out
Of Existence by Legislators
or Courts-Dlscusses
Sherman Law

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation Of Labor, today made an
argument before a subcommittee of
the senate committee on the judiciary.
on the rights of organized labor in the
light Of recent decisions of the supreme
court of the United States.
Addressing his statement to the va
rious bills to amend the Sherman anti
trust law, he contended for freedom of
the press and freedom of speech in all
respects.
would you extend that prestige to
q paper which was anarchistic in tone
and melted murder of public officials,
such as the president and members of
his cabinet and others?" asked Chair
man Nelson.
Objection was made by Mr.. Gompers
to the association of the term AN
archy" with this discussion, and Mr..
Nelson disclaimed any intention of dis
paraging organized labor by his re-
mark.
Mr.. Gompers declared that such per-
sons as violated the bounds of reason
and melted crime may be reached by
the law and punished.
Such a man." he said, SHOULD be
Investigated as to the condition of his
brain Storm
Mr.. Gompers discussed at length the
recent decisions of the supreme court
and said: I'VE hear SO much about
equality before the law. That's all we
want. 1t has been quite the vogue OF
late to say that labor is asking for spe-
cial privileges.
Organizations of labor will not be
driven out of existence by legislation
or by the courts. If they cannot defend
the things they stand for In an open
manner with the sunshine of Gods pro-
lection upon them, 1 believe they will
do the next best thing and do 1t in Sc
cret. That is not threat; it is a pre-
dfction"

ALL HOPE OF SAVING BIG
GERMAN SHIP ABANDONED
Wreck of Peter Rickmers on Long
Island Beach VIII Be Left Hence
forth to Pound Herself
to Pieces
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 1e.-Hope has
been abandoned of saving the hull or
the big German steel ship the Peter
Rickmers, which ran ashore on Jones
beach two weeks ago, and from which
her crew of thirty men and about
sixty shore workers barely escaped
when a second storm, week ago,
drove the ship higher on the sands.
The heavy seas have peen pouuins
over the wreck ever since that time
and there is now nothing worth saving,
Captain Bachman, who was the last
man to leave his ship and who since
then has stayed with the Ire savers
of Jones inlet, hoping against hope
that his ship might be saved, left yes
terday.
There is still some of the oil with
which the ship was loaded In the wa,
TERRIFIED hulk, and this probably will
be brought ashore. The vessel Will
pound herself to pieces after time.

The resumption of work in the
mines is surely a good thing for
the miners. who have been idle
SO long. To be sure, the price
of ore is not as high as is desired,
but on the whole it is better than
it was few months ago, and a
resumption of work at this time
will put the miners in good shape
for the coming cold weather.
Miners, as 4 class, do not look
ahead. They live for today alone,
from the standpoint of laying up
anything for q rainy day. Lead
and zinc miners, as a rule, live
on the fat of the land. Little dc
they care what the luxuries cost.
No fare is too good for them, and
for this sort of spirit they are to
be commended. But from an
economical standpoint we can not
say as much. To be sure, the
workingman in this great and
glorious country is entitled to
the very best the market affords
and all of it he is able to buy.
But when a man is depending on
his daily labor it would seem that
he would b. a little frugal, and
lay aside something for rainy
day. FewUf them do 80, how
ever. The workingmen of this
great and glorious country are a
happy set, and we are glad of it,
but we would like to see them
try and be a little more indie
pendent by laying aside a little
each day they work, so that their
comforts may be a little more
evenly distributed.
