PHILADELPHIA, March 14.-It
is possible that a conflict of au.
thority between local and national
labor leaders may result from the
order OF the Central Labor union
here to all union men of PhiIadeI.
rhia to quit work under penalty of
not being considered unionists. In
most of the trades the international
organizations have ordered their
men to remain at work, thereby ad-
vising them to ignore the orders of
the Central Labor union. AS a re-
suit, it is expected here that few of
the union men who are now at work
will obey the central unions order.
The general order to the milk
men, bakery wagon drivers, ice
wagon drivers and others who deliv,
|er necessities, to quit work was
not generally obeyed today
The majority of these men re-
manned at work, although few
failed to appear this morning. The
city was quiet during the early
hours today. A canvass indicates
that most of the men who quit
work last week are still out.
This would indicate that the labor
leaders are still holding their men
in line and that their predictions OF
further defections from the ranks
of the workers may be fulfilled.

kHARTOUM, March 14.-Former
President Roosevelt, dressed in a
khaki hunting suit, made trium-

requested that there be no official
public display on his behalf, but

along on her way to the sirdar's

Thousands of natives and hun
dreds of whites thronged the banks

gayest hue were waved. and music
re-echoed over the Nile.
The Dal was bedecked with
streamers. At her taffrail floated
the British flag, while at the top
mast appeared the flag of the
United States. Almost under the
Stars and Stripes stood Roosevelt,
bowling and acknowledging the re-
ception by waving his hand and his
hat from time to time. The smile
familiar to thousands of Americans
was easily seen from the shore.
Roosevelt looked the typical hunt
er. Beside his khaki suit he wore
leggings and an old slouch hat
which had replaced the helmet he
had worn In the jungles.
The Dal proceeded down the river
almost to the steps of the palace of
General Wingate, sirdar of the
