Concord, n. r., Nov. s-Governor Fell
ker honored to-day the requisltion of the
State of New York for the extradition OF
Harry X. Thaw. The case is now trans
ferred automatically to the federal courts,
where n writ of habeas corpus on behalf
of Thaw is pending.
The Governor based his decision on the
indictment returned against Thaw in New
York County which charged him with
conspiracy to escape from the Asylum for
the Criminal Insane, at Matteawan, to
which he was committed following his
trial for killing Stanford White. Thaw
escaped on August II. and a few days
later was arrested near Coaticook, Can
ada.
At conference Of counsel following
the decision it was agreed that the status
quo should continue for week, Thaw
remaining here in his present custody,
during which time his counsel will pre-
pare their papers for the procedure III

by this course any possibility Of ulti-

Governor Glynn directed the Attorney

Attempts were made to put the onus or
the failure to reach an agreement on the
Republicans, and motions were made by
Senator Shafroth and others that the COM

deliberation was fruitless. The Repuoli-
cans. however. insisted that the point had
not been reached. and that it was stlll
possible that a bill might be reported. In
the end the administration members had
their way. and the committee adjourned
TO meet on Monday.

Another Meeting Called to Form
New Hotel Workers Union.

Changes in the plans of the Interna-
! tlonal Hotel Workers Union, it was
learned yesterday, have been forced by
the Industrial Workers of the World. The
mass meeting Of walters in Bryant Hall
last week was due to resolution by the
International Hotel workers Union that
all members who belonged to others must
get out.
A number OF the most active members
OF this union, who were also members of
the Industrial Workers OF the World. re-
signed. and Immediately began to or
ganize the walters as a branch of the In
dustrial Workers of the World. Another
organization meeting under the auspices
OF the Industrial Workers OF the World
will be held this week. when Elizabeth
Gurley Flynn, Carlo Tresca and other
leading Industrial Workers of the World
lights will speak. 1t was said yesterday
that the Indutrial Workers OF the World
may call a general strike of hotel walters
New Years Eve.
Edward Bochlinger, organizer Of the
Hotel Workers Union, who was TO have
sailed for London last week to arrange
with the AfnalSdU1dlcu fiolel w dllcIS
Union of Great Britain for a convention
Of walters TO be held in Berlin or Paris,
has postponed his trip, and will wait TO
see what is going to happen

takes place" he said, will he a failure
We will make demands on behalf of our
union when the proper time comes. We
do not want the Industrial Workers of
the World members in our union, because
the methods of the Industrial Workers Of
the World are too radical for us"
Although anti-tpping legislation was
turned down by the union, he said he
would work for II, and believed That the
time would come when the income OF
walters will be from their wages instead
OF from tips
