CROMER PREDICTS WAR.
Foresees European Conflict Pen
sion Bill 4dUanced.

London, July 2o--Lord Cromer. speaking
against the old age pension bill. which the
Lords passed on second reading to- day. startled
the House by saying that II was the first duty
Of the government to prepare for the European
conflict which probably would be forced upon
Great Britain before many years He thought
that the bill by entailing a protective policy
would tend to widen the breach between Great
Britain and foreign nations and thus increase
the danger OF war.
Lord Rosebery also vigorously attacked the
measure the ground Of its socialistic ten
dency. predicting that 1t would eventually in
volve the country In policy of protection.
He said that the measure the most I'M
portant bill submitted to Parliament in forty
years. and mentioned the pension system in the
United States example OF what such a
measure might lead the country to.
The nnal passage Of the bill is believed to be
assured.

KAISER MAY SEEK CUP.
Possible German Challenge
Amer1can Yachtsmen.

Kiel, July 20.-The Emperor of Germany at
various times in the last eighteen months has
talked with yachtsmen the feasibility OF
challenging for the Americas Cup. The En-
peror has mentioned the subject to visiting
American yachtsmen and members of his
suite. and ne would regard the winning of the
cup, if a competitico could be arranged. a
great feat of craftsmanship likely to stimulate
German enthusiasm in the sport and indirectly to
advance national pride in things related to the
The Emperor recently commissioned Max
Oertz, of Hamburg, 20 design a. large racing
schooner to replace the American built Meteor,
now six years old. Herr Oertz is considered the
best yacht designer in Germany. Some of his
Sonderclasse boats beat those of the Eastern
Yacht Club in 1907, and his Germania, which
has about the same measurements the Meteor,
owned by Lieutenant Krupp Bohlen and
Halbach, did well in the last at Kiel The
Germania. in the opinion of critics, is
capable of beating the Meteor when her crew
has been trained Twice in June the Germana
in race with the Meteor took good lead at
the start and then dropped behind, this being
due, il was thought, to lack of skill in handling.
If the Emperor's new yacht comes up to ex
peCtdtlOnS next June. IL is not unlikely that the
Emperor will send to the New York Yacht Club
a challenge for the Americas Cup This, how
ever. depends almost entirely the perform
ances of the boat
The Kiel dispatch conveying the intimation that
the Emperor of Germany was contemplating chal-
lenging for the Americas Cup was read with in
terest last night by members of the New9 York
Yacht Club While many of the more prominent
members OF the club active in yachting are out
of the city and official statement to be
had the suggestion OF challenge from the Ger
man Emperor received with the greatest salts
faction
An international yacht with the German
Emperor the challenger would mark interesting
period in yachting. Until definite challenge is
received members of the clubs said nothing could
be discussed relative TO conditions for contest.
though il is believed that the club will, under
circumstances, accept a challenge for the Amer
ica's Cup under the international rules gov
erning yachting contests. The New York Yacht
Club has steadfastly insisted that all for
the Americas Cup should be sailed under the old
rule which permits the construction of racing
chimes of the Reliance type.

TROUBLE FOR GOMPERS
LABOR MEN PROTEST.
President of Bookbinders' Union
VIII Fight Pledging of Votes.
lrrcm The 1risun. Bureau.l


Washington. July 2O-samuel Gompers and
his secretary arrived in Washington to-day, to
find the laboring men here divided as to the part
they will play In the coming campaign MI
Gompers held conferences all day with labor
leaders and heard several protests against his
presumption in attempting to pledge the labor
vote to any candidate. He gave out no. state
men.. but contented himself with recommending
a perusal Of the next issue Of THE Federation
ist' to those who are interested in his opinion
One OF those who Is openly at odds with
GOmpers il James l. Feeney, president OF the
Bookbinders' Union and onesof the most active
labor leaders In the United States He intends
to fight any attempt on the part Of Gompers to
pledge the Central Labor Union here to Bryan.
and in this he claims to have the support OF
majority Of the delegates.
That Mr.. Taft Is sincere and demonstrative
friend OF union labor has been shown on many
occa sons but at no time more strikingly than
in the selection of Public Printer for the Gov
ernment Printing ONCE" said Mr.. Feeney.
1T was announced at time that the Presi-
dent intended to put William S. Rossiter in that
position, in the face of violent opposition from
the labor unions We desired that either
union man or a practical printer get the place,
and to this end 1 wrote Mr. Taft Two hours
after receiving the letter he was at the White
House In conference with the President and on
his suggestion Mr.. Leach was brought from the
Philippines and appointed.
He is both a practical printer and union
man, ar for this reason the bookbinders and
printers owe Mr Taft debt Of gratitude which
would be Ill repaid by our following the advice
Of Mr. ~mpers."
The numerous expressions of this character
that have greeted the political activity OF Mr.
Gompers have caused some uneasiness among
the labor leaders here and 1t is certain that
matters will be carefully considered before the
attitude of the leader is indorsed. 1t is becom-
ing apparent here that unless Gompers sees
some way of receding from his position Bryans
defeat will mean his forced retirement from the
presidency of the American Federation OF
Labor.

TRACTION MEN IN FIGHT,
Attempt to Tear Up Feed Hire of
CrOsstO.Cn Line.

An attempt to cripple the service of the 59th
street crosstown line and drive that line back
to the use OF horsecars was made last night
when fifty men. employees OF the New York City
Railway Company, tried to rip out the feed wire
OF the croestown line. between Goth and o9th
streets.
The feed wire between those streets runs along
Third avenue in the same slot as the Third ave-
nue. roads service wires and the New York City
Railways men endeavored to pinch" the wire
through the manholes along Third avenue be-
tween those streets.
In charge Of the gang of fifty was L. L.
Brockway, an engineer Of the New York City
Railway Company, and he made his first at
tempt at 61st street.
John Ridge foreman, and ]. ]. Cahill. Of the
Third avenue line, who had apparently been on
the lookout for some such attempt, appeared on
the scene a few minutes after Brockway's gang
started operations and with twoscore men OF
the Third avenue road they repulsed the efforts
of the New York City Railway Company's men,
Fooled in their first attempt Brockway took
his men down to 59th street, and there they
succeeded in getting up a manhole lid, but as
they about to afix ''pincher to the feed
wire Captain Raynor OF the East 9th street
station, appeared with twenty men of The re-
serves Of that station.
Cahir, of the Third avenue line had gone to
police captain declared that should touch
that feed wire because 1t was the property Of
the Third avenue line
Furthermore, the captain declared that any
one making any further attempt to touch the
feed wire would be arrested, and the New York
City Railway Companys men. acting under the
orders of their foreman, Brockway. retired from
the scene.
General Manager E. A. Maher, Of the Third
Avenue line, who lives at No. Mount Morris
Park West, said that he knew Of the trouble.
but refused 10 have anything to say about it.
According to a prominent official in local trac-
ton circles connected with the New York City
Railway Company, VINO early this
morning, after the trouble, the Third Avenue
foremen and employees became unduly excited
over matter which, he says does not concern
them or their company at all.
The cable. this authority said which the New
York City Railway men trying to raise Is
the property Of that company, and their object
simply to take that cable out, that it
might be transferred to the feed service of the
SD street line, across which street the Columbus
avenue and the Sixth and Amsterdam avenue
will run, when Judge Lacombe's recent de-
cision becomes effective.
