LABOR TROUBLES IN

NAT|0|V-W STRIKE
At Meeting in Washington Of Ex-
ecutive Committee Matter
Will Be Discussed
BY Associated Press

Chicago, Jan. 5.-A meeting OF the
executive committee of the American
Federation of Labor at Washington at
which the copper strike in Michigan
would be considered will be called by
Samuel Gompers, president of the or
ganization.
This was learned from Charles III.
Meyer, president of the Western Fede-
ration of Miners here to-day. He was
asked concerning rumors that an at
tempt would be made to call nation
wide strike in sympathy with the
Michigan and Colorado miners
Any such demand must be made
on the American Federation of La
bor,' he replied, apparently choosing
his words carefully. "If such thing
is considered 1t would be considered
by that body"
Have you asked for a nation wild e
striker he was asked.
There has been considerable pres
sure exerted that such a demand be
made. However, 1t may be said that
most of our plans are In the status
quo. l will confer tomorrow with
Charles e. Mehoney, vice-president of
our federation; Guy A. Miller and
Yanco Terzich, members of the execu-
tive board and we will determine what
further action to take now that Mr..
Densmore has been unable to nego-
tiate peace plan and the governor
of Michigan is about to make a per-
sonal investigation. Mr. Mahoney Is
due here at 9 o'clock tonight and it is
doubtful If we can do more than have
an informal talk at that time"
Meyer will leave the hospital this af-
ternoon but his physicians have or
dered him to rest quietly in his hotel
for another week.

Conform With Standards
Of Regular Army Men
BY associated Press

Washington, d. c., Jan. 5.-A clean
issue has been made between the War
Department and the National Guard
Association of the United States upon
the point of organization of the mill
tia forces of the country. BY direc-
ton of Secretary Garrison, Major Gen
eral Wood, as chief of staff of the
army, has issued circular-No. 10
announcing the decision of the judge
advocate, General Crowder that the
militia must conform in organization
to the standards of the regular army,
else they will be deprived of all Fed
eral financial support.
This decision is of the greatest i'm
portance IL the government Is to be
able to make use of the militia In an
emergency. But one important re-
quirement was ignored by many
States because immediate compliance
with it was not insisted upon by the
War Department. That was that the
State militia should be organized into
brigades and divisions.
AT the office of the Adjutant Gen.
eral 1t was stated to-day that the Ad-
Jutant General had requested that the
Pennsylvania militia be recognized as
division. 1t was also stated that
the organization of the auxiliary troops
required was in progress.

ment
I'm view of the fact that loan of
100000 has been authorized for the
completion of the park system as
originally outlined and to provide per-
manent Fairgrounds, which must be
properly located and established, l
shall undoubtedly recommend. the re-
tention of Warren H. Manning, the
distinguished landscape engineer who
has already done such admirable
work for Harrisburg. I have been
much impressed by his quick grasp of
the problems which have been dis
park and playground development.
ut is also my purpose to request
the gentlemen of the Park Commits
sion to continue as an advisory board,
unless action shall be taken meanwhile
to transfer their activities to city
planning commission created by the
last Legislature. Their services will
be of great value to the city, inasmuch
as they are familiar with all the plans
and negotiations involved in the crea-
tion of our parks.
Il find that there is much to do in
the completion of the park work and
it Is my intention to make no changes
in the organization at the present
time. Until 1 shall have had full op-
portunity to familiarize myself with
what must be done and how to do it
an efficient discharge of my duties
