ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Nov. IA
Indignation over an announced increase

Sity. following close Upon the heels OF
refusal of Pennsylvania traffic officials
to accede to demands of business for
shore betterment, ran riot in the busi-

Merchants who are not so close to the

cause repeated efforts to prevail upon

Feeling is particularly strong over the

When the line was irst opened with
hourly trains, the, fare was $50 for the

Taking into consideration the fact that
1t is possible to ride 40 miles in New
York for a nickel. business men today
said that 81 would be an ample figure for
the electric train trip, considering the
time consumed. Some professed TO be-
lieve that the fare advance is a move
TO compensate the line for the enormous
bill of damages incurred when an electric
train dashed from the Thoroughfare
bridge with heavy loss Of life, some years
ago.
More optimistic citizens expressed the
opinion that the railroad is after more
revenue TO provide for the long delayed
new station.

II became known today at the con-
ventIon of the American Federation of
Labor that II members OF the next Con-
gress will be union card men. Labor.
therefore. will control the balance of
power.
These men are Frank Buchanan. of
Illinois: William Cary. of Wisconsin;
John Casey. of Pennsylvania; G. G. Hell

Nolan, of California: E. E. Roberts, OF
Nevada: Isaac Sherwood, of Ohio;
Charles Smith, of New York, and Carl
van Dyke, of Minnesota.
The Democrats will have Is more than
enough to control the House.
II Is evident therefore, that organized
labor represented by II members can
hold the balance of power In the House
OF Representatives II these members were
to lay aside party dissensions and vote
as a whole on labor measures, or united
in fIIbustering in order TO force conces-
sions along the line OF labor legislation.
1t is pointed out by delegates at the
convention that the passage and adoption
OF the "labor-exemption clause" In the
Clayton antitrust law was due entirely to
the cooperation and the united stand
taken by the labor group" in Congress.
1t Is also pointed out that should the II
'laborites" in the 64th Congress continue
this cooperation they would be in a posi-
tion TO force many other valuable con-
cessions.
Delegates said today that there is every
indication that President Wilson will call
an extra session OF the new 6ith Congress
next spring to consider labor legislation.
TODAY'S SESSION SHORT.

Opposed by |. w. w.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1i-An unidentified
man, believed to be an italian. tried un-
successfully to explode a bomb In the
police court in the Criminal Courts Build
ing in this city at 10 o'clock this morning.
The deadly missile. with the fuse still
spluttering, was quickly grasped by Pa
trolman Richard L. O'Connor, who
snufed out the spark and threw the bomb
out Of the window. The thing landed on

Before O'Connor or other court attend
ants could get hold Of the bomb-thrower,
tho man fed through door into the main
corridor and escaped to the street. being
swallowed UP in the throng of persons
assembled in the building and on She
sidewalk at the time.
The man deliberately lit the end of the
fuse as he sat on a seat in the third row
of the court room. Magistrate Campbell
and other court officials were within q few
feet of the anarchist, but did not observe
anything unusual in his movements until
o'Connor made dash for the fuse. The
room was crowded with spectators and
witnesses, and the steel cage was filled
with prisoners at the time. The news of
the attempted explosion almost caused a
panic and threw the crowd into the Wild
est confusion.
Inspector Faurot, head of the Detective
Bureau and owen Bagan, an inspector
of the Bureau of Combustibles hastened
to the scene OF the attempted outrage. An
examination Of the bomb showed II con-
tanned many cartridges of 32 IS and Al
calibre. and large quantity of guncotton.
The charge was sufficient to wreck the
court room and kill or wound many
spectators.
Magistrate Campbell has been denounc-
ed by certain factions of the Industrial
Workers Of the World and by members
OF the church OF the Social Revolution
because he sentenced Bouck White, head
of the latter institution. to serve six
months in prison for trying to start A
debate in the Fifth avenue Baptist Church
last summer.
Five italian suspects and one Spanish
suspect were released by the police be.

them with the bomb explosion in the

The Germans were seen approaching to

spattered bullets among them. The sky

Then suddenly four of the Allies ma
