YOUNGER LABOR MEN
TO OPPOSE GOMPERS.
President of American Federation
May Have Illinois Mine Worker
to Fight for Reelection.

Philadelphia, Nov. u.-Rumors were be-
ing circulated at the convention Of the
American Federation of Labor today that
opposition would be made to the re-eIec-
ton Of Samuel Gompers as president of
the federation, a. position which he has
held, with the exception OF one year,
since 1881, or for thirtY-two years. The
younger element among the labor men,
who have socialistic principles, are in the
foreground in the fight against Gompers,
and they are headed by Duncan Nc
Donald, an Illinois mine worker. Com
pers supporters hope that Mcdonald per-
sonally will run against Gompers for
president, as they are prepared to give
Gompers an overwhelming vindication.
The first action today on the part
OF the convention was to receive the
reports Of the committees on the Diff
terent resolutions which have been Of
fered.
r. A. Rigg. Canadian representative.
and one of the best known union lead
ers in the Dominion, made a two-hyur
announcement of plutocratic govern
ment In Canada and a prophesy of
in the north, during
which he took a verbal kick at every
English politician OF note from the
late George. III to the present min
lister Of labor in his home country.
Mr.. Rigg charged that the patriot
ism Of the business interests in Can
ada is unreal, that the government re-
sorts to false pretenses in catering to
immigrants and said that the present
industrial and social state of affairs
across the border is such as to make
sooer-minded men and women fear
for the future. -
He spoke Of the border line between
The United States and Canada as a woe
-ul accident due to the folly, injustice,
md stupidity of the British government,
Ind kept his references to England's part
n the war down to a chill hope that the
bloody carnage would soon cease.
Mr. Riggs speech was regarded as a
most unusual one for visiting delegate.
When he had finished the convention
vas adjourned until 4:SO this afternoon
when one OF the commissioners Of labor
Il New Jersey made an address.

edge of Any Such Act.

The State Department has no knowl-
edge that the German authorities in Bel
gium have served notice on the Belgisns
that they will prevent the distribution Of
relief supplies unless the Belgians resume
their customary occupations.
1t is assumed that Ambassador Page,
at London, who is the real director of
measures for Belgian relief would know
of 1t quickly IL it had been issued and
notify this government
Ambassador Bernstorff called at the
State Department yesterday and assured
Secretary Bryan that he had no such in
formation. He seemed to be of the opin-
ion that no such order had been issued.
Ambassador Page has recommended
that a central committee be organized in
the United States to handle all matters Of
relief for the Belgians. Secretary Bryan
Is considering this question and probably
VIII take steps In an informal way for
the organization of such q committee.

SYLVESTER MAY RESIGN.
Reported Police Chief Plans to En-.
Eage In Commercial Venture.

Business circles yesterday heard the
report that MAI Richard Sylvester, SUI
perintendent Of police, was making plans
10 engage in a commercial enterprise.
This 1T is believed, is the foundation for
n persistent rumor that he intends to re-
sign.
Mai. Sylvester was out Of the city for a
rest at his place in Harpers Ferry, and
could not be reached, but his family de-
MED the rumor he had resigned. Police
Commissioner Frederick l. Siddons
stated he had no knowledge OF the ma
jors intentions to sever his connection
with the police department In police
circles the source OF antagonism against
the major is discounted as coming from
men who have an lax to grind" and
are working for his downfall purely
through malice.
His record as head Of the police depart
ment puts him in the foremost rank Of
police chiefs throughout the world The
Association OF Police Chiefs
have honored him for more than ten
years by making him their leader.

DANIELS lOBAR
NAVAL EXPERTS
Thinks Congress Should Get
Its Information Directly
from His Office.
FAV0RS PARTY PROGRAM
Opposes Light on Needs Of Navy Be-
ing Given Committee Except
by Himself.

New York, Nov. 12-The American to-
day publishes the following from, Its
Washington correspondent:
MY idea is that IL Congress wants to
discuss naval policies, the information for
its guidance ought to come from the Sec
retary Of the Navy"
1 This Is the attitude Of Secretary of the
Navy Daniels as expressed by him when
asked IL experts of the navy would be
| allowed to go before the investiga6 eng
commission proposed by Representative
Gardner.
The naval experts are anxious to 20,
but Secretary Daniels made It clear that
he will discourage II. Unless a storm Of
sentiment demands 1t. the Congressional
committee will not hear the men who
know intimately the needs of the navy.
Wants to Be Reard First.
''Of course when the naval appropria-
hon dill comes up for discussion before
the committees, the chiefs Of bureaus
interested In any particular phase Of the
bill VIII go before the committee, as
usual" said Secretary Daniels But as
tc general policies the Secretary Of the
Navy should be heard first and II Con.
sress then desires to- know anything
RlntIs De learQ.
If Secretary Daniels goes before the
Congressional Committee he will stand
upon the administration program for two
battleships. eight submarines and six
lsunboats. The naval experts would de-
mand twice that strength as Immediately
needed.
The attitude OF Secretary Daniels
against the navy's chieftains going be-
fore Congress has caused a fiutter
among naval men.
It was buzZed around the navy De-
partment today that IL any of them
dare disobey the Secretary and re-
plated committee, they would be quick |
ly disciplined.
Full Liberty to Testify Sought.
Mr.. Gardner has already asked |
Chairman Hay, of. the Military Com |
given full liberty to testify without |
punishment
While Secretary Daniels SAYS that the |
recommendation OF the general naval
board, OF which Admiral Dewey is presi- |
dent, will go to Congress with his an
nUal report navy officials maintain that |
the general navy board will be some
what discredited by the Premature pro-
paganda from the White House, as ex-
pressed lnls week fresloent wilson /
stand for a two battleship program Is
taken as a hint to Congress.
A well authenticated report Is that
Secretary Daniels, while standing for two
batueships only. may recommend a /
cruiser Of the type Of the famous Ger
man Emden. The navy already has such
fast scout cruisers as the Chester, Birm-
ingham, and Salem, well armed, which
can make from twenty-five to twenty
six knots, while the Emden could make
only twenty-four and one-half knots and
carried ten guns OF only four and one
half inch calibre.

school is better. We do not want to imI-

to be disquieting to the United States

Quirements of neutrality. It would be

Fighting Around Lille.

East and south of Ypres the Germans
were driven as far as Menin, according
70 advices OF a week OF two ago. There
was a battle on the line from Menin
west to Warneton and along to La Bas-
see and Armentierres and the present
successes Of the Germans about the lat
ter two towns after several days OF
lighting seem TO indicate that this is
another point Of the German line which
has been REINFORCED effectually.
The battle continues to rage about
Lille, notwithstanding the fact that bonn
bardment by both armies has reduced
the town TO a mass of debris. The Berlin
report contains the news that the French
have been driven from the commanding
heights OF Vienne-le-Chateau, which they
occupied several days ago. and have suf-
1ered heavy losses in attempting to re-
capture the position.
The news from France is received with
great gloom here, but seems likely to
prove stin greater stimulus to recruit
