OF HIS IDEA OF kline OF INTER

WANTS.
WAS NOT CONSIDERED
Officially BY ongress-Deiegates
Voted Not to Consider Any
Proposal Save Those Of
Affiliated Bodies.

Paris, Aug. 5l.---The international
Trades Union conference today voted
to consider no propositions excepting
those submitted by organizations af-
.fliated with the conference. But, al.
though thus debarring Samuel Comp
ers' affiliation proposition, the dele
gates nevertheless asked Gompers to
elaborate on his proposition.
Gompers explained that the Ameri-
cans were entirely willing to join an
international movement, the objects
of which are clearly fixed, such as
for example the study of questions
directly affecting strikes and the en-
ployment of women. but not an or
ganization dedicated to the academic
discussion Of social problems. IF
Europe is ready for this kind of a
movement" Gompers said, II be-
lieve America will participate ac-
lively"
Gompers' proposal was not official
ly considered.

Lewistown, Pa, Aug. 31.-One of
the most audacious railroad holdups
in the east in recent years was com
mitted on the eastern slope of the
Alleghenies this morning. when 4
single highwayman stopped a Penn,
sylvania express train with dyna.
mite cartridge and compelled the
crew to carry thousands of dollars
in coin and bullion from the express
car into the wilderness.
When the conductor attempted to
interfere he was shot in the hand
and the bold bandit succeeded in
escaping, He mistook, however, a
bag containing ten thousand Lincoln
pennies for gold coin, and staggered
away with it, leaving the gold to be
recovered The railroad and Adams

The train was composed of three

with passengers While running
through the Lewistown narrows, a
lonely mountain gorge, a cartridge ex-
ploded and the engineer stopped the
train. He was Immediately confronted

Der to the first express car. The ban
dit pointed one revolver at the mes
senger, who was looking out, and
threatened to blow up the car with
dynamite; then forced the messengers
of the two express cars and the en-
CINE crew to carry all the gold and
bullion from the first car to the side
of the tracks.
Conductor Poffenherger, who ap-
preached meanwhile, was ordered
back by the bandit, who emptied
one revolver at him, one of the shots
penetrating the conductors hand
and others grazing his body.
Told EN- Goodbye.
Despite the appearance of the pas
sengers, who were awakened by the
shooting, the robber calmly ordered
the crew aboard and compelled them
to steam away, leaving the gold. 1t
was recovered later by a posse sent
on a special train When the train
was leaving the robber shouted.
Goodbye; good luck; hope to see
you again"
II is feported tonight that besides
the missing pennies several thousand
dollars in currency is missing, but
