Trouble With Workers of
Dublin Spreads to the
Biggest .Briton Cities
RECOGNITION OF
UNIONS IS ISSUE
Employers Refuse Employees
the Right to Wear
Organization Badges

London, Sept 17.-England is
threatened with the most serious strike
of union labor In its history, according
to union leaders here today.
The trouble began with the lockouts
Of large numbers Of workmen last
week in Dublin in consequence of a
strike Of transport workers because OF
employment Of non-union laborers.
Rumblings Of discomfort have since
been heard throughout the entire labor
community of the British Isles, bu'
thus far eruptions have occurred only
in the larger cities.
The sympathetic strike o. tho Liver
pool lockers and of railroad workers
there and at Birmingh am has already
stopped the three great trunk RAILWAYS
serving the midland counties Of Eng.
land, and the Manchester Shi7 Canal
Co.. also is contending with strike
OF docl. .ahorers for better wages.
At Liverpool seven Of the great
freight depots were idle this morning
and others are likely to be closed
for want of traffic.
In Ireland, too all attempts have
failed to settle the Dublin trouble,
which was the direct cause Of the de-
velopments at Liverpool and Birming-
ham. The difficulty of getting pro-
visions into the Irish capital has be-
come SO great that it Is believed the
markets will have to close their doors.
London has been affected only in.
directly by the strikes on the railways
in the midlands. The metropolis is
more directly interested in the threay-
ened strike Of motor omnibus drivers
because the employers refuse to allow
employees to wear union badges. The
men held meeting today and passed
q resolution in favor of a strike which
would tie up all the motor omn,buses
and tube lines in London.
Labor members Of parliament de-
clare that the trouble in Dublin, Lon
don and elsewhere has been caused by
the determination of the employers to
challenge the rights of labor to or
ganize.

President Huerta Says Time

Sticks to Belief that Wood
row Wilson Has Not
Backing Of Country

Mexico City, Mex, Sept. 17.-In a
speech yesterday before the Mexican
congress where ceremonies were held
in observance of Independence day.
President Huerta outlined what his
policy has been and will be toward the
United States. From his speech 1t Is
quite evident that he feels the Will
son administration has not the backing
of the great mass of Americans and
that it is merely question Of time un-
til the United States will recognize
his regime. He also took occasion to
announce that American battleships
will not be welcome in Mexican wa
ters after October 25, on which date
the six months leave granted by the
Mexican senate expires He delved in
to the internal condition of the coun-
try and expressed the belief that the
rebellious factions would soon be
pacifled or crushed.
Bryan Studies Speech.
Washington, D. c., Sept. 17.-An alb
stract OF Huerta's message is being
studied by Secretary Bryan who is pre-
pared to discuss 1t with President vii.
son. Particular attention has been at
tracted by Huerta's announcement that
the electoral law being promulgated,
provides for presidential election in
October. 1t is regarded as significant
that Huerta expects to conduct cleo
tions to successful Issue, notwith-
standing the reyolnti iona ry movement.
That suEgesfs the Idea ehat the FIuerta
party Will take the ground that owfnB
to the limitation Of the rebellion to the
two states Of Sonora and Durango the
constitutional prohibition against the
conduct Of national election while
the country is not at peace would not
apply.
It was said at the state department
today that SO far there appeared to be
nothing in Huerta's message to cause
the United States to change it, atti

New Vovk, sept. ~ w wv
erImes took their places today on
the police record Of Hans Schmidt
In ransackIns the rooms OF tho
confessed murderer and counter
feiter, detectives found evidence
that Schmidt had stolen $500 from
the Easter collection at st.
Joseph,s church and that he had
robbed ! visiting priest who spent
the night at St. Joseph's reetory.
New York, Sept 17.-Gathering ur
the loose ends of the evidence that
connects Hans Schmidt, priest and
confessed murderer Of Anna Aumulle1
with the making of spurious money
has been begun by. detectives under
Inspector Joseph Faurot. Facts being
brought to light in this search show
that Schmidt has been q man OF
varied activities.
Everything in the rooms occupied
by Schmidt in the rectory OF st.
Joseph's church where he was assist
ant rector, have been seized and today
the work OF translating the contents
Of letters and documents found In his
trunks began. Inspector Faurot hopes

Emil Meliere. The manner In which
the body of. Anna Aumuller WAS dis.
membered leads the detectives to be.
lieve that Schmidt may have practiced
medicine at some time In his career.
Schmidt's familiarity with photog.
raphy and his knowledge of engrav-
ing are other points the police will
seek to weave into the evidence to
present in the event that the priest
pleads insanity at his trial for the
murder Of Anna Aumuller.
No man OF Schmidts varied pursuits
could be insane, the detectives say,
and they look upon him as criminal
with master mind; man trained In
many things which he turned to ac-
count in his operations. Schmidt's g
explanation of everything is that he
did it at the command Of God. These
declarations, the police say, are part
of plan to feign insanity.
Posed as Physician.
That Schmidt did pose as DR.. Mel
iere, physician, as he is said to have
admitted, was indicated last night by
the finding among his effects medi-
cines and drugs. The use of some of
these Is prohibited by law.

the federal authorities of connecting
