LABOR ILL AT EASE
PRESIDENT GoMPERs OF THE AMERICAN FEDERATION GIVES
 PROBABLE CAUSE.
A COMBINATION AGAINST UNIONS
By Advancing Cost of Living Same Ef feet Has Been Produced as if Wages Had Been EeneraIIy Decreased-Tc Fight Back.

Washington. Mar 1S.-The unusual unrest in the world of labor at the present time is attributed by President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor to a combination of forces antagonistic to the cause of labor. de. signed to crush the rights of the work, ingman.
 While not divulging the plans of the labor organizations, he said in an in. terview that everything possible would be done by them to protect the inter. ests of the working masses.
 Although wages had not been gen. erally decreased, he said, the enor. nous advance in the cost of living in the last few years had rendered con. ditions tantamount to a decrease in the compensation of the working classes. He cited the court decisions involving labor under the Sherman Antitrust law and said that all means would be exhausted to meet the sit nation.
 Referring to the court decision in the West Virginia mining case, that sympathetic strikes are unlawful, MT Gompers would not indicate the next step of the labor organizations in the contest, but said that the fight was certainly not an academic one. He intimated that the matter would not be permitted to rest in its present status, but would be continued through all the avenues of appeal possible for a successful outcome from the stand point of labor.

DYING MAN TELLS
 OF HIS MURDERS
Pat Grayson. Pipe Hauler at Hatfield Knowing That He Could Not Sur yiye His Illness, Talks of
 His Misdeeds.

Pat G-aysou, alias D. E Mur- ,hy pipe hauler, died a few davs ago at Hatfield after hard struggle of ten days with pneu- mUuia.
 About SIX weeks ago, when teamsters from. all the country round were being concentrated at the stations along the Kansas City Southern south of Mena, a man c,me who gave his name as D. E. Murphy. He had a team, if is understood, but no wagon, hut a wagon was secured for him by the Hatfield Mercantile Com nany aud he secured work at hauling provisions to the work men on the pipe line some forty miles west.
 Early in March he was stricken with a severe attack of pneumo- ma, and which never released its gtip until death came.
 During these days of suffering the man showed the greatest for titude, but toward the last he called to his side E. T. Roach, who had aided in caring for him. h broken way, interrupted by his weakened condition and by the coming and going of others who were about, be said, in sub- stance.
 "It is about all up with me, and I am gong to die. My name is not Murphy. It is Pat Gray son. 1 have been a bad man, a mighty bad man. have killed three men and served eight years in a peuitentiary. When I killed the 6rst man, l took from him an automatic revolver, and with this I accidently ehot and killed auoiher mau, my dearest friend. was sent to the penitentiary and after eIght years killed a guard and escaped.
 "But they are after me. There IS a man on the work here now who saw me and recognized me, and they will come for me, but 1 can't get away. But, it don't make muSh difference now. I'll beat them to 1t, for 1 am about gone-am going to d e before tbey get me."
 And he did.
 Mir. Roach had learned that Graysou, who was about B years old, had young wife, about l7 years oi age, at Dustin, Ok, and had wanted to notify her, days before, but the sick man would not permit it. After his death, the wife was notified and J. D. Ring, her brother, came down without a dollar, either to pay funeral expenses or hls fare back home.
 Mir. Roach had J. E. Wood of Mena com. down and embslm the remains and sent them to Dustin with the brother-in-law.
 Ring stated that he knew Cray son had killed one man, but knew nothing of the ether affairs. This was confirmed by Ben Gipson, deputy sheriff, who had descrip- tion for the escaped convict and was looking for him, believing him to be in this locality.
