Of
LABOR BEGINS
IT'S SESSIONS
NEE TING AIMS TO HEAL A
NEW BREACH--SUSPENSlON
OF CARPENTERS AND JOIN
ERS Is DESIRED.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20.-The
problem of attempting to heal breach
in the American Federation OF Labor,
growing out of the presentation late
last night OF resolution calling for
the suspension Of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners was
before the concluding session of the
convention today.
The union is the second largest in
ternational union in America. Adop-
ton of the resolution would have
meant the loss of 100000 members of
the federation and would have threat
ened the disruption of the organiza-
ton, according to federation officers.
After heated debate a substitute
resolution, not calling for expulsion
but offering to withdraw the charter
of the carpenters, was presented by
the adjustment committee. The trou-
Bile was the result of the failure of
the carpenters organization to refrain
from alleged enCroachment upon jul
risdiction awarded the machinists,
attitude toward the federation:
In the debate President Samuel
Gompers said:
I'VE are not safe from disintegra-
ton and failure if we lose sight of
the ideals of human brotherhood"
Andrew Furseth, of the Seaman's
Union, declared his belief that the Car
penters' union was deliberately seek
ing to compel the federation to with
draw the charter.
While speaker after speaker taunt
ed them with bad faith the delegation
of carpenters sat silent.
The carpenters union was accused
of repairing, dismantling and setting
up machinery in buildings in various
cities, and with claiming the right tC
do such work, in defiance Of the ex
press commands of the federation con
vention in Philadelphia last year.
| Fourseth said: 81 prefer the charge
that the claim put forth by the car
penters is put up scientifically ant
purposely to bring about expulsion"
George l.. Berry president of thu
! Pressmen's uuion, offered the substi
tute resolutions. He moved that
committee of five representatives o
international unions with Presiden
Gompers be selected to attend the con
vention of thecarpenters and try t.
get them to recede from their stand
Berry's substitute was carried.
Gomper's reelection as presiden
was indicated.

DR.. Haiselden said he based his
opinion on the child's actions. He
said he was unable to determine be-
yond all doubt that the child was both
deaf and blind. He said, however, it
failed to respond to the ordinary light
tests and that the fact that one of the
ears was not developed at all and the
development of the other was only
rudimentary convinced him that the
child was deaf
DR.. Haiselden showed a number of
X-Ray picture of the child's anatomy.
DR.. John Dill Robertson, city health
commission, who testified that there
was no evidence that the child would
have been mentally defective, issued
a statement in part as follows:

the right of any child to live should
rest wholly on the judgment of any

IF we are not going to depart from
the recognized duty of physicians to

AMERICA FIRST"
EMBLEM IS HERE
FIRST ONE WAS ON DISPLAY
IN THE CITY YES
TERDAY.

A real, ''dyed-in WOOL Ameri-
can emblem, free from hyphenated
entanglements, has at last been origi-
mated and is being distributed by the
Woodrow Wilson Endless Chain
League, a non-political, non-sectarian
organization. The first button bear
ing this emblem, symbolizing Amer
lea, was worn by a drummer in the
city yesterday
The demand for an emblem that sig
nified American patriotism and stands
for America First" has at last ma
teralized, and has been approved by
President Wilson. The button bears
a design of a dove peace and an
eagle with the inscription America
First-Thank God for Wilson"
A circular letter sent out by the
league, whose general manager is Mar
garet Townsend, New York CITY, ex-
plains the button. The letter reads:
"Our president, Woodrow Wilson,
who has shown the finest form of pa
triotism, honor and invincible patient
courage, having faced the world sin
gle-handed in the solution of well-nigh
unsolvable difficulties without re.
sources other than his own magnifi'

ing the United States on behalf of its
people, their honor and their pros

GAS a token of recognition of the
unpayable debt Americans owe to this
great faithful inspiring leader com
manding world respect, it is urged
that every man, woman and child,
sharing the privileges thus held for
them in America, evince openly their
gratitude by wearing the button bear.
ing the inscription that seems to
breathe forth instinctively from the
soul to the lips:
THANK GOD FOR WILSON"
1t is probable that a local agent
will distribute these buttons, which

BODY Of AN AGED
NEGRO IS FOUND
THERE is EVERY EVIDENCE THAT
HE WAS MURDERED SOME
TIME FRIDAY NIGHT.

The body of John Chambers, an
aged negro, was found near the tracks
OF the A., B. & A. railroad a short dis
tance from Thalmann early yester-
day morning, and an investigation
made following the discovery of the
body makes it appear that the old ne
gro was murdered Friday night
The remains were discovered by a
passing A., B. & A. train. Coroner
Jennings was at once notified and he
went to the scene and later the body
of Chambers was brought to the city.
Two ugly gashes in his head, admin
istered with a blunt instrument of
some kind, told the story of how the
old negro met his death 1t is net
believed that he was struck or fell
from railroad train.
Chambers was in Brunswick Thurs
day and left the city on the late aft
! ernoon train. 1t was stated yesterday
that he had $40 in cash in his pock-
cts It was also reported that two
other negroes were seen with him
and that they cndeavored to get him
to leave the train at Brobston, some
six or eight miles from Blounts
where the negro resided. These two
negroes, however, have not as yet
been located.
When the negros body was found
yesterday morning the money, as well
as everything else in his pockets, was
gone and this added color to the
theory that the aged negro had beer
murdered.

BUSINESS MEN TO TAKE ,-eta-,re
OVER THE WHITE WAY--E ~
STORM OF PROTESTS.

Nothing in Brunswick in recent
years has been so seriously protested
against the discontinuance of the
city's beautiful white way. which, 10,
the past wo nights. has been IN
darkness and, while no active steps
We're taken yesterday TO amicably ad-
just the matter, ii is the opinion OF
those interested that it will be only
a few days before the lights will be
again turned on.
Last night, with the usual Saturday
night Groves on the streets, and with
the principal business street of the
city in what might be termed dark
ness, Brunswick really did not look
like the same city, and dozens Of Citi-
zens could be heard expressing re
gret that such condition had como
about especially after the hard fight
made two years ago by the Board %
Trade to secure the magnificent wl
way, which has been commented
so much by visitors to the city
which has been a pride of ali BrQi
wickians.

ion that some agreement would b.
reached with council whereby This
trouble can be eliminated. II is hard

will be called upon to pay the entire
expense of the white way but rather
to guarantee in some way the regular
payments.
The position Of the Mutual Light
and Water company is pretty well un-
deTstood in the matter. The company
contends that the association is in
arrears and that there seems to be
no one to guarantee past or future
payments and, as the white way is
operated at considerable expense 10
the company, it was decided that the

MANY HUNTERS WERE OUT
Some Fairly Good Bags Reported
by Many of Them.

The crack of the gun could be heard
in every nook and crook of Glynn
county yesterday, the opening day of
the hunting season. An unusually
large number of parties were out and
quite a number Of quail were killed.
Some parties reported that the
birds appeared more plentiful than
in former years, and that there was
every indication that the present sea-
son was going to be a most successful
one. Others reported just the adverse,
saying that the best they could do
was to find one or two small covies
after an all-day walk over the woods.
However, the general report seems
to be that the birds are quite plenti-
full throughout this and adjoining
counties, and when the season has ad-
vanced a little further the hunting
will likely be more satisfactory.

OUR NEW SUBS
To Be BIGGEST
IN The WORLD
MANY DESIGNERS HAVE BEEN
ORDERED TO PROVIDE A
SPEED OF TWENTY-FIVE
KNOTS FOR THEM.

WASHINGTON, Nov 20-The two
new fleet submarines, bids for which
will soon be advertised by the navy
department. will exceed the Schley,
now the worlds biggest underwater
craft, so far as is known, by 300 tons
in displacement. They will be 1900
tons Graf under the surface as
against the Schley's 1000 tons and
exceeds by 200 tonsn the biggest of
the cruiser destroyers of the navy
Congress gave navy designers a
hard task when it said that these
two new fleet submarines should
have a surface speed of 20 kuots an
hour if possible" The Schley will
be a 26-knot boat when completed
and will have more than four thou
sand horsepower, furnished by heavy
oil engines. Experiments in the navy
model basin with models of the new
craft show that they will require be-
tween 5000 and 1000 horsepower
to make the additional five knots.
No internal combustion engines to
go in the space available and furnish
the power required could be found
for the boats and the specifications
to be advertised will propose vessels
fitted with steam turbines for sur
face work, although the same stor-
age battery and electric motor install
lation as in smaller craft will be used
below the surface. Navy experts have
worked out practical solution to the
mechanical obstacles in the way of
using steam and have no doubt of its
success. The boilers will be fired
with oil fuel.
A novel arrangement has been de-
veloped for ordinary surface cruising
whereby one of the twin turbines
will do all of the worn, the second
shaft being operated by electricity.
/ When high speed is required both
turbines will be used. The boats will
! be fitted with motor generators op-
! Grating on pinion gears of the tur-
bines. When the turbines are work
| ing, they will generate electricity for
the storage batteries; beneath the
surface, electricity will flow back
| lIOl1 Tic DdIlCllCo " Inv oSA'C' "'c' ~
which then become motors to drive
| the propeller shafts.
| The popularity of the construction
! however lies in the fact that when
the boat is cruising, one turbine will
drive one propeller shaft and also its
own generator Current from the
generator will pass directly to its
| fellow on the other shaft, converting
the second generator into a motor
which will in turn drive the second
shaft. In this way the full efficiency
! is obtained from the single turbine
and economy fuel consumed.
The boats will mount disappear
ing guns for surface action the new
four-inch weapon of this type prob
ably being substituted for the three
inch gun on smaller submarines
They will probably carry two guns
each and the gun carriages have
been so designed as to permit the
guns to be aimed straight up in the
air as a defense against air craft.

Little Hope for Monastir.

LONDON, Nov. 20.-Although no

Irians have captured Monastir, in
Northwestern Servia, little hope is
alfelt in England that the announce
auient is premature. Accepting it as
