 Catch ''Backers."

New York, Oct. 26-Latest develop ments in the bomb plot are:
 President Wilson summons Sam uel Gompers, president Of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, to tell what he knows of plans to blow up muni- tions plants.

MT. Gompers was possessed of much detailed informa- tion regarding the latest effort to tie up munitions steamers and to cause a strike among the longshoremen. This he gave to the government and upon it was based the investigations Of the agents of the department of jus tice, an inquiry that is still under way
