sentences pending against President
Gompers, Vice President Mitchell and
Secretary Morrison. A review of the
case was given but, aside from declar-
ing that the "opinion of the District
Court of Appeals did not give a de-
cision to the fundamental issues upon
which organized labor had been asking
judicial ruling" the report refrains
from comment on the courts findings.
Urgent need for the solution of the
problem of the unemployed was
brought to the attention of the conven-
ton. Sympathy with their condition
was expressed and the belief was
voiced that the unemployed might be
used in road construction, which auto
mobile travel is making daily of great
er Importance. Legislation to that
end was urged.
Because of the international and
worldwide trend in the organization
of labor, the report stated the Fedora
tion was heartily in sympathy with
movements to bring about lasting in
ternational peace.
Labor organizations the world
over" says the report, "have commit
ted themselves to the policy of inter-
national peace-peace with honor and
justice in international policies as well
as industry. All national economic
and political issues are infected with
world interest"
In conclusion the report urged the
delegates to give earnest considera-
tiOn to the recommendations made for
remedial legislation, among others,
an eight-hour work day, injunction
limitation, seamen's legislation, work
ingmen's compensation, Federal Blu
reau of Health, safety appliances, arbi-
tration and automatic stop systems
on railways.

Will AnnuI Elections.

Mexico City, Nov. 10.-Government
officials, foreign residents and the peo-
pie of Mexico realize that the relations
between this country and the United
States are strained almost to the point
of war, but there is perhaps no man
in the entire republic who knows what
Washington will do today.
John Lind himself, who represents
the President of the United States, is
ignorant of the intentions of his chief,
and if General Huerta is anxious at
all regarding what may develop he does
not betray it. Although he has sent
to the diplomatic representatives of
the foreign nations note, which in eff
feet is a defiance of Washington, he
was conspicuous in cafes about town
long after the midnight hour and Sun
day INDUCED in relaxation in the COM
pany of his military friends.
In his formal statement to the diplo-
mats Gen. Huerta said it was now fore
seen that the recent elections were
null, as too few precincts had partici-
pated in the voting and that therefore
the new Congress would annul the elec.
tions. New elections would then be
called and he would continue his pro
gram of pacification.
! More uneasiness is apparent at the
American embassy than at the Nation
al Palace. At the palace the opinion
was expressed freely, not infrequently
accompanied by sneers, that the United
States never would intervene in Mex
leo.
Mr.. Lind is fully cognizant of tn,
delicate situation and awaits will
keen interest word from Presiden
Wilson and Secretary Bryan, but h
received only assurances that tn
President was interested in certain d,
velopments and q request for the cor
tinuance of his observations.

Will Probe Charges
Of War Department

Jackson, Miss, Nov 1O-Revela-
tions concerning the alleged scandal
in the Adjutant Generals office and in
the military divisions of the state gov
ernment promise to come thick and
fast. Publication of the charges made
by the War Department in local
newspaper Sunday morning started
tongues to wagging, and rumors of
still more serious Irregularities inyolv-

gained currency.
The members of the legislative in
vestigating committee which Is prob
ing the charges against the Adjutant
Generals office would not talk when
questioned about the impending devel-
opments, but their manner indicated
that they expected revelations of a
sensational nature. After attending
church Sunday morning Chairman An
derson returned to the committee's
headquarters at the Noble Hotel and
spent some time in going over papers
that have been filed with the investi
gators.
Gov Brewer was equally as non
commital as the members of the leg

Preceded by heavy rains Friday and
Saturday, snow began falling at 8
o'clock Sunday morning. Within a few
hours wires, poles and trees were sag

Before noon railroads, trolley lines
and vehicle traffice were battling with
the elements in an effort to continue
operations. Toward evening the mer.
curry tumbled rapidly and the water
and sleet froze. This condition de-
moralized transportation.
Shortly after noon the Western
Union reported all wires down to New
York, Columbus and Cleveland. The
Postal Company was tied up by the
storm to all points from here. Tele
phone wires to the outside were use
less. Last night the Western Unior

charges against the Adjutant Generals
office, Gov. Brewer replied that he
had nothing to say.
Gov. Brewer returned Sunday morn
ing from Washington and Baltimore.
He went to Baltimore to hold confer
ence with tho surety c3ElHanies there
that furnished bonds for Lawrence
Yergei, defaulting secretary of the
Penitentiary Board, with view of
arriving at settlement.
The War Department, which is sup
porting the committee in its probe,
charges, it is said, that thousands of
dollars of Federal funds appropriated
by Congress for the benefit of the
state militia were used in paying the
salaries of officers of high rank for
services it is claimed that they did not
perform.
At one of the military maneuvers,
the War Department alleges, the or
ders for the assembling of tr ops
stated that the encampment should be
held from July to July 81, 1918. The
time between those dates, Federal
army officers claim was all the time
that the War Departments funds
should have been used for. In max
/ ing up the pay rolls, high officers of
the National Guard, Federal army in
vestigators claim, drew salaries for
the entire month of July, or eight days
more than they were entitled to. Sew.
eral other instances of this sort are
cited in the reports to the War Depart
ment, it is said.
The disappearance of more thar
$4,000 worth of military supplies ant
equipment, as charged by the Wa
Department, is receiving the earnes
attention of the legislative committee
