ENGLISH UNIONS
THREATEN STRIKE
Object to Courts Decision
Against Assessment and
Appeal to Parliament

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON. Aug. 22-At a meeting
to-day of the General Federation OF
Trades, Socialists and Labor parties
and the labor members of Parliament,
called to consider the recent court
decision against the right Of labor
unions to assess their members for
the support of their parliamentary
representatives. the strongest senti-
ment developed in favor of demanding
an amendment to the law, under PEN
atty of the Laborites and Socialists
seeding from the Liberal-LabOr-Iris
parliamentary alliance.
If the courts decision is allowed to
stand, the committee members declared
that a nationwide strike. including
every union workman in the United
Kingdom would probably be called
out. The radicals favored defiance of
the courts order and a continuation
of assessments regardless of the re-
sulting contempt of court

by John B. Moissant, the Chicago avi-

he attempted to fly from Up Church

Accompanied by ANert FileuX MS

not take away with him.
Deny Reports of Arrests.
RumOrs were current to-day that
the Wilmington police had made an
arrest in the case, but Chief of Police
Black said there was no truth in the
story. Not only was this rumor cir
culated in Wilmington but the resi-
dents of Claymont were discussing it
on all sides.
The man supposed to have been ar
rested was a white man, and in view
of the feeling of the people over the
murder, it was thought that the auth
critics were keeping the arrest quiet
but Chief Black was emphatic in his
denial.
IT was learned this morning that
the authorities are now looking for a
negro, well known around Claymont,
who left there sometime ago, but was
said to have been seen at Claymont
on Thursday. This suspect is now
said 70 be in the vicinity of Chester.
The negro in question sometime ago
was under suspicion in a murder case
| in Delaware county, Pa.
The residents of Claymont are freely
discussing this new phase in the case,
and the fact that the negro is said to
have been in the neighborhood the day
before the murder, gives rise to the
belief that he may know something
about il.
Working on this clue the authorities
are now believed to be looking for
this man. The detectives. however.
are guarding their movements and
knowing how the people feel over the
murder, will not make an arrest until
they are almost sure they have the
right person.
From the remarks made by some
of the friends of Caseys, at Claymon,
this morning, it would not be well for
the murderer or murderers to be cap.

UNCLE JOE
AGAIN CUT
Congressional Committee Does
Not Desire His Service as
Campaign Orator
Want NOTHING SAID
ABOUT INSURGENCY

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 22-Another
solar plexus punch was delivered to
Uncle Joe" Cannon to-day. when it
was allowed to become known here
that his services are not desired by
the Republican Congressional Com
mittee IN the coming campaign and
that he viii be given any speak
ing dates.
The statement was made to-day by
a Republican leader, who professed TO
have positive knowledge that Cam
mons services have not been and viii
not be solicited by the National Con-
gressionnl Committee. His name was
said to have been omitted from the
! list OF speakers. In answer to the
suggestion that Cannon might receive
many direct invitations TO speak and
/ that In response TO them he would
/ be a busy factor i'm the campaign, the
| opinion was expressed that this pos
! sibiity is not considered likely to up
set the committees plans. The reason
given was that the Speaker. in his

ments, is devoted to the policy OF an

NOW LOOKING FOR
COLORED SUSPECT

Governor Pennewill today offered a
reward of $500 for the arrest of the
murderer or murderers of Mr.. aud
Mrs. Robert Casey, who were battered
to death by burglars as they slept in
their home at Claymont some time
during Friday night or Saturday
morning
Colonel James c. McComb, a veal
thy resident of Brandywine hundred,
who has a beautiful estate at Clay
mont and who was a lifelong friend
of "Uncle Bob" Casey, after consult
ing with some well-known residents
of his hundred. yesterday wired TO
Secretary of State w. T. Smithers at
Dover urging the Governor to offer a
reward of $4,000 for the arrest and
conviction of the man or men who
welded the club that snuffed out the
lives of the aged couple.
While Governor Pennewill has no
fund on which he can draw to offer a
reward, it is thought that he can have
the next Legislature appropriate
money for that purpose should the re-
ward have to be paid.
1t was said today that Colonel Nc
Comb himself is thinking of Offering
a reward to supplement that of the
State
Critioise State Authorities.
There is much criticism on the part
of residents of Brandywine hundred
and of this city, too, because none of
the States prosecuting officers has
taken active command of the investi-
cation into the Casey murder.
Attorney General Gray is on a va
cation in the New England States. and
Deputy Acknowledgement Wolcott is
on his vacation at Lewes. State De-
tective Gillis, who is working on the
case for the State. is mapping out his
own campaign. and he is being as
sisted by James p. Ratledge, a pri-
vate detective.
Some residents of Brandywine hun
dred were trying to get in communi
cation with the Attorney-General ol
his deputy this morning. but found
both to be out of the city.
There IS a feeling that an oppor
tunity was lost by not putting blood
hounds on the trail Of the murdere
or murderers. The suggestion tha
this be done came too late, as man.
persons had tramped through tn
Casey residence before this idea wa
advanced. Then it would have beel
practically impossible for the hound
TO have picked up the trail
1t is the belief of many that a per
son familiar with the Casey resi-
dence and with the habits of Mr.. ant
Mrs. Casey had a hand in the crime
II is pointed out that Mr. Casey re
ceived a large sum from Tax COllec

also banked his personal accounts oi
