London, July 8-The speech OF Winston

Months for Contempt.
from The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. July 23.-John Mitchell
Nce-president OF the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, was sentenced to-day TO
serve nine months in Jail for contempt OF
court in the violation OF the injunction IN
the Bucks Stove and Range Company
case prohibiting the federation officials
from carrying out boycott.
Samuel Gompers, president. and Frank
Morrison. secretary. the other two labor
leaders adtudged In contempt in the same
proceeding, were recently sentenced 20
twelve and SIX months in Jail, regpec-
lively. All three cases have been appealed
70 the upper court and will probably
reach the United States Supremt Court.
Mitchell was not in court when Justice
Dan" Thew Wright passed sentence to-
Day, having waived his rignt 10 be pres

Of waiver submitted BY counsel for
Mitchell. II was declared that the signed
statement had the appearance OF having
been made IN compliance with court
order or suggestion rather than being tho
request OF the federation Official.
The contempt proceedings were insti-
tuted the day following the decision OF
the United States Supreme Court setting
aside the judgments IN the case in which
the labor men received the same sentences
as recently imposed on them. A commit

EIGHT WOMEN DIE IN FIRE
London Papers Say City's Folly
Caused Holocaust.
INV Cable 10 The Tribune. ]

London. July 23-One of the most
horrible fires known here In years &C.
Cured in the heart Of the City yester-
day. Eight women lost their, lives in
a few minutes and many others were
badly injured, some of whom may yet
succumb.
The fire occurred in the top room Of
four story building in Moor Lane,
where a large number Of women and
girls were employed In the manu-
facture of celluloid Christmas cards.
Az this height, in the midst Of narrow
streets, rescue was impossible.
The fire spread quickly. To reach
the stairs the girls In the back room
had TO pass through the front room,
and before they realized their danger
the flames had cut OF the means Of
escape.
In a few minutes the back room was
ablaze. Some OF the girls managed TO
reach the roof. and escaped by cross
Ing a plank to the next building. ten

and fell. Two were seized by the
flames before they could gain the dizzy
bridge, and many leaped from the win
dows to the pavement, several Of them
being horribly mangled. Five OF the
girls were burned TO death.
The Daily News" points out that the
fire occurred in the notorious Cripple
gate area, which has given frequent
warnings and needs precautions TO
meet emergencies. The dangerous
trade Of making Christmas cards from
celluloid and other highly infiammable
material ought not &c be permitted in
such a death trap az the scene Of yes
terday's holocaust, II declares.
The Daily Graphic" says the I'M
fortunate women were sent 20 death by
the combined folly and carelessness
of the municipal authorities of London,
and that such industry is tolerated at
all In a crowded city is an outrage N
common sense.

US. FOIlS MEXICO REBELS
Gomez's Arrest a Blow to Insur.
gents-Orozco's Power Wanes.
From The tribune Bureau.


Washington, July 23.-The Department
OF state received numerous dispatches to-
day reporting the activity Of the rebels
in Mexico, especially In Sonora, but the
view is taken that General Orozcos rebel
lion is practically at an end despite the
guerilla warfare he is conducting.
An official of the State Department to-
day declared Orozco's flight to Sonora Is
either a confession Of defeat or a ruse TO
gain time in which 10 recruit his disor-
ganized forces. the former supposition
being the one given the most weight. Dis
senson among the leaders Of the revolu-
ton, II is pointed out. makes IL almost
impossible for Orozco to regain the In
huence he once had, and for that reason
II IS expected that In the event OF a new
insurrecticn another leader Will be chosen.
Several attempts to smuggle ammunl-
ton across the border have been folled
by the American soldiers doing patrol
duty The arrest OF Gomez, who was re-
garded as the logical successor Of Orozco,
on charges OF violating the neutrality laws
was a disastrous blow TO the rebels, as ne
is alleged to have made arrangements TO
supply the rebel forces with large
amount Of arms and ammunition. The
strict enforcement Of the neutrality law
by the United States government has been
strong factor in the collapse OF the
revolution.
While the rebels are reported 10 be COM
hitting numerous petty depredations, il

bo, raf

owned plantation In Sonora was attacked

State Department, at the request OF Rep
resentative Kinksid. found Dunno never

his life.

claims Of Americans who suffered by tho
operations OF rebels has made a number
OF awards, and the State Department has

MINORITY ALSO DISAGREE
Republicans Expected to Offer
Three Findings to Two by
Democrats, None in Har.
mony with Others.
From The Tribune Bureau.)

washington, July 23.-Democratic hopes
for a unanimous report from the majority
members OF the Stanley steel investigating
committee were finally abandoned to-day
when Martin Littleton. in q caustic state
r,ent declared he would LOT approve the
hill agreed on by his four Democratic
colleagues recommending radical amend
rnents to the Sherman law.
This bill is characterized by Mr.. Little
Ton as simply a complicated rearrange-
nent OF the rules of evidence and thu
burden Of proof under existing law, with
out a serious effort TO meet and rightly
solve the great industrial problems.
simultaneously with this hitch in the
Democratic harmony programme Il de.
yeloped that probably FIVE reports will
come from the various factions in the ma
iority and minority membership OF the
Stanley committee. The committee con-
sists OF nine members. The Democrats
Will file two reports and the Republicans
three reports, according TO present plans.
A SUMMARY of these various reports and
recommendations follows:
The main minority report will join issue
s1uarely with the Democratic attitude
toward the trusts, and s. expected 10 rec
cmmend as remedial legislation a federal
incoI poration law, full publicity Of the
operations Of corpora lions engaged in In
terstate commerce and governmental reg

concentrations are the joint product OF

Responsible TO Congress.

Mr.. Littleton urges that the commission
which he proposes be made closely re-
sponsible to Congress, and concludes:
We should save the field OF Interstate

tain corporate concerns. after passing q
proper examination. should be allowed
to enter. and, having entered. they should
be governed by a definite code OF indus
trial regulations enacted BY Congress.
Gradually, by the careful study of In
dustrial development, by requiring elabo-
rate reports and by wise and Just con-
troll. a system OF rules governing inter
state commerce could be developed, and
these rules would become familiar -
