HOT SESSION OF LABOR
COUNCIL TONIGHT

The controversy between the
Central Labor Council of Tacoma
and the Allied Printing Trades
Council may be finally settled at
the regular meeting Of the Central
Council tonight, when a full at
tendance Of delegates is expected.
Labor leaders admit that they ex-
pect a warm session, and the hall
will undoubtedly be packed, as any
union man with a Central Labor
Council trade card will be admit
ted even though he is not a dele
gate. The union men in the
building trades are thoroughly
aroused over the action taken by
the union men working on the
newspapers who have denounced
the Central Labor Council for
boycotting two local papers be-
cause their owner is erecting a
building with unfair labor.
Other unions of the city not
directly affected by the issue are
generally standing by the building
trades men as against the news
paper workers, and the fight will
be bitterly waged unless a solu-
tion Is reached tonight. The
trouble has reached such an acute
stage that nothing less than a
complete backdown on the part OF
the printers and pressmen will
satisfy some of the delegates OF
the other unions, and 1t is prob
able that several delegates to the
. Central Council who represent the
Allied Printing trades may be
ousted from the Central council

ROMAN0WSKI OF MORASKI GANG
 IS CONVICTED
Crusade Against Lawless- ness in the West End Con tinues Successfully Four Members Now in Quad.

Prosecuting Attorney Delaney sue ceeded this morning in securing an other conviction in the crusade against the notorious Mora ki gang which beat up Joseph Koslowski Dec. 15. John Rornanowski was tried this morning for assault, breach of the peace, and drunkenness. He was fined $2o ana costs and sent to jail for three months by Judge Foster in the city court Romanowski is the fourth member or the gang to be convicted for the as sau1t. All are out on bonds with the exception of Pretrowski. who was con- victed yesterday and jailed.
 The same witnesses appeared in the ease against RomanowSki this morning who appeared in the previous trials. Attorney Clitus H. King who has been employed to defend the accused in the higher court appeared for Romanowskl this morning. Attorney King has been active in convictfng several or the courts but will make stiff fight TOT them when their trial comes up. The testimony indicates that the assault was preceded by conspiracy and that the crowd had fully concluded tp do up Koslowski before he was attacked and that they went to Fennelrs saloon on Railroad avenue where the assault took place TOT that puTpOSe.
 Prosecuting Attorney Delaney IS confident of securing convictions Tn every case. 4 He has mass of testi- mony which will be introduced in the superior court.
 This morning Superintendent Birm- ingham congratulated Court Inter preter Augustus Brill for the good work he has done on the case. It is evident that the days of the gang as. factor in the West End are over. The members have long terrorized the vicinity and their victims have hesi- tated about making complaints for fear of mourning the hatred of the gang. For the first time the members have become alarmed and although they have made it known that thev will seek vengeance on everyone concerned in their conviction they have learned a much needed lesson.
 This morning Koslowski reported the threats made against him to Supt. Birmingham and he issued permit for K Koslowski to carry a revolver. to de- fend himself with in case of need.
 It is confidently. expected that some member of the gang will occupy the center of the stage at a necktie party at Wethersfield some time in the fu- ture if it is not broken up. Ro~"~- ~-',- ski furnished a bond of $150 this morn ing on an appeal.

 ACQUITTED
Jury Finds Them Mt Guilty of Murder
 of Capt. Erb.
WE'RE OUT ALL NIGHT - SELF
 DEFENSE PLEA MADE BY THE WOMEN ACCEPTED BY THE
from United Press.)

JURYMEN.
 Special from United Press.)
 Media, Jan. Mrs. J. Clayton Erb and her sister Mrs Katherine Beisel were acquitted to-day of the charge of murdering the formers husband, the late Captain Erb at their home, Red Gables, near this city, last October. The jury reported it's decision after having spent the night under lock and key deliberating and then only after the law regarding homicide in self-de- fense had been explained again to-day by Judge Johnson.
 When court convened this morning the jury sent word that it desired to come into court for further instruc- tions. It was apparent that some of the jurors were in doubt as to how far Mrs. Beisel was justified in shoot ing down Captain Erb as she claimed to defend herself from his attack. When the jury mad filed into the court room Juror Riley asked the court for further instructions as to how far Mrs. Beisel was justified in committing homicide in self defense, which was her plea. Judge Johnson went over the law carefully. eff Mrs. Beisel thought she was in danger of death or great bodily harm she had right to defend herself,'' said the court. The jury retired and within a few minutes sent word that a verdict had been reached.
 The defendants and their counsel, who had lost their air of confidence during the long hours of waiting for the jury to come to some agreement, were greatly reassured by the ques- tions put to the court by the juror and Judge .Johnson's explanation. It was apparent then that the jury had al- ready decided in favor of Mrs. Erb and was merely in doubt as to the legality of Mrs. BeisePs act.
 The verdict was delivered amid a tense silence that was broken by demonstration of relief as the words Mot Guilty'' rang through the court room.
 Harry Beisel, who was nearest his wife and sister-in-laW, Mrs Erb, leap ed forward and clasped them both in his arms. Smiling through their tears Mrs. Erb and Mrs Beisel shook hands with and thanked each of the jurors. Beyond saying they were never in doubt as to the outcome of the trial and that it was a great relief to have it over with the women would not make any public statements. They quickly left the courtroom with their attorneys and passed through a lane formed by the spectators.
