Philadelphia, Nov. 2O.-Jurisdictiona1
Disputes in many trades again held
he attention today of the delegates to
he annual convention Of the Ameri-
ban Federation Of Labor. The COM
|nttee on adjustment, to whom had
been referred most Of the troubles re-
sarding jurisdi ction, reported on thir-
y-nine cases. Some were amicabiy
4djusted, In other Instances the dis
putes were referred by the committee
10 the executive council for final ad-
ustment. About ten cases were sub
United to the delegates to be threshed
out on the floor of the convention.
The dispute between the Interna-
tonal Typographical Union and the
#Bookb!nders organization over control
Of the mailers employed In the print
ing business was referred TO the ex-
ecutive council for adjustment after
much debate.
The convention agreed to give sup
port to the defense of the men who
We're arrested In Michigan in connec-
ton with the copper strike and to also
aid the strikers at Atlanta and at
IGloversville, N. Y, where work peo-
pie have been out fourteen weeks. The
convention condemned the alleged fall
ure of the glove manufacturers to
meet recommendations of the repre-
sentatives OF the New York state
board of mediation.
The convention endorsed the action
OF the executive council in refusing to
give the Order OF Railroad telegraph
ers extended Jurisdiction over certain
classes of railroad employees. The ex-
fecutive council had refused to give
this Jurisdiction on the ground tina,
1t was not conducive to the best In
terests of the general labor movement
to grant the request at this time.
The agreement by which the Assoc
ciated Union OF Steam Shovel men and
Brotherhood OF Steam Shovel and
Dredgemen are to amalgamate was
approved. The agreements for ANAL

FAIL AGAIN TO
OBTAIN RETRIAL
OF FRANK CASE
The Georgia State Supreme
Court Refused to Certify
a Writ of Error, and Case
Will Now Be Taken Direct
To u. S. Supreme Court.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 29.-The state
supreme court today refused to cer-
tify the United States supreme court
writ of error in the case of Leo NJ.
Frank, under sentence of death here
for the murder in April 1913 of Mary
Phagan. Counsel for Frank after to-
days decision announced that the
case would be taken direct to the
United States supreme court.
The application for a writ Of error
to take the case to the highest fri
bunaI in the land was based upon
the Georgia supreme courts refusal
in it's decision last Saturday to set
aside the verdict on the ground that
Frank was absent from the court room
when verdict was announced.
Franks attorney stated that they
would take steps as soon as possible
to get the case before the United
States supreme court. They said one
method of procedure to accomplish
this object would be to make applica-
tion direct to an individual justice Of
the supreme court, most likely Justice
Joseph Lamar to certify. the writ of
error to the highest court. The ar
torneys said they have not considered
an attempt to get the case before the
supreme court on haDeas corpus
proceeding.
1t was learned today that the prose-
cution plans to go before the superior
court next Wednesday to have Frank
re sentenced.
Two of Franks attorneys; Henry
Peoples and Harry Alexander, left At
Ianta today for Washington to pre-
sent their application for a writ of
error in behalf of Frank to Justice
Lamar of the supreme court.
The state supreme courts action to-
day marks the seventh failure Of legal
efforts to obtain a re-trial for Frank
or a reversal of the verdict which was
returned August 25, 1913. Franks ex-
ecution was first set for October 10,
1913 but this was stayed by appeals
and motions for a new trial. In March
of this year he was re-sentenced to
be hanged, the date being fixed for
April II last Proceedings before the
state supreme court, however, acted
as a stay of execution of the SEN
tence 1t will now be necessary to
sentence the former factory superln-
tendent the third time and again NIX
a date for his execution.
In arguing the motion before the
state supreme court for the setting
aside of the verdict, counsel for Frank
declared that at the trial ''the air
about the court room was surcharged
with mob violence" 1t was brought
out that the trial judge suggested that
the defendant be absent when the ver-
dict was rendered. Franks attorneys
admitted counsel for the accused 2on-
sented to their clients absence, but
held that Frank himself never gave
his consent. They alleged his con-
stitutional rights had thus been rio
lated. 1t is upon this ground that his
present attorneys hope to get the case
before the United States supreme
court.
Should this tribunal refuse to hear
the appeal or decide it against Frank,
his only recourse to escape execution
it is declared, would be through the
extension of executive clemency by the
governor of Georgia

REVIEW OF FRANK CASE
RESTS WITH JUDGE LAMAR

Washington, Nov. 10-A review OF
the Frank case by the supreme court
rests largely with Justice Lamar, who
is assigned to the circuit In which
Georgia is located. Custom OF the
justices requires that applications Cor
'writs of error must be presented
first by the justice assigned TO the
circuit in which the case originates.
Should Justice Lamar grant the writ,
the case would go on to the courts
docket and would not be heard for
about two years unless advanced.
Should Justice Lamar decline to Is
sue the writ he might consent to an
pplication being pre- serted to the en-
lire court, or the attorneys might "f
their own violation make application
to the other justices.

he will take money orders or cash. In
this connection Mr.. Lewis has re-

ing that the citizens OF the state may
know something OF the operation OF
the new law and why he IS calling
upon them for more revenue:
THE special tax imposed In sections

became effective on November /.
"In view OF the fact that the prese
taxable period, November 1, 1914. TO

two-thirds of the full years tax. Tho
law provides that unless application
