GOMPERS BACK,
URGING PEACE
Labor Chiefs Continue
Talk of Sympathetic
Strike on Friday.

Samuel Gompers talking peace To-
cal leaders insisting that sympathetic
strike is due Friday, Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION leaders not certain that they
wish n sympathetic strike and inclined
to doubt the good faith Of some local
leadcrs-that was the car strike sItua-
ton yesterday.
Gompers, in town for the funeral Of
Seth Low, with whom he was associated
IN the National Civic Federation, was
st the Hotel Continental for while.
He refused to comment on report
that he is TO take full charge OF any
strike that may be ordered. lie con
fined himself TO expressing sympathy
with the car men, and the hope that
the citizens committee, with which he
will meet to-day, may bring abou,
peace.
More Talk of Strike.
Svmpathetic strike talk was renewed
when the conference committee Of
labor leaders, Of which Hugh Frayne
is the chairman, met. Ernest BONN,
secretary, said no names Of unions
which have voted to strike would be
given out until Friday. Later, he
modified this by saying the allied
transport trades, longshoremen. en-
gincers and firemen would quit. When
his attention was called TO the fact
that 7. V. O'Connor, international
president Of the longshoremen. who
came to New York because such a
strike was looming up, had arranged
to leave the city tonight, he said local
men would look out for that end
Fitzgerald was positive in his asser-
ton that the car men can win without
any sympathetic strike, and that the
only effect Of such strike would be TO
hasten the inevitable surrender Of the
companies.
Some of his associates say many Of
the New York labor leaders are -four
hushers," and that local unions with
minor grievances of their own have
used the car mems strike and the
threat of a general walkout to force
their employers to make concessions
they otherwise had not dared to urge.
Others 20 even further, and declare
that the talk Of sympathetic strike
has tended to injure them, md that
such a strike, should il prove abortive,
as they fear il would, would work great
injury TO them.
These men pin no great amount of
faith on any ones ability to induce the
fremen and engineers TO quit their
posts, and they are not at all sure the
/ local leaders Of the longshoremen have
/ been altogether disinterested in their
/ operations. Leaders of these trades,
/ they point out, have been talking strike
| for a month, and the longshoremen
+ have taken some strike votes, but have
T done nothing.

( 10 the published statements of the
Interborough officials that service on
F the Il" and subway lines is normal.
81 do not blame the papers for print
ing his assertions" said Fitzgerald
but they can do what ! had done last
night-get some figures Of their own.

Mr.. McCormick's analysis Of the re-

enough is known to indicate that q

Long Branch, Sept. 2O.-If the pri-
mary returns from New York carried
any Encouragement to President Will
son and his advisers here it was not
apparent to-day. The silence and
seclusion of Shadow Lawn were as i'm
penetrable as they have been since
President Wilson made it his summer
White House, and it gave but few re-
actions to the political currents Of
which il is the centre.
In kilograms to William +. Nc
Combs and Samuel Seabury, winners
Of the Democratic nominations for
United States Senator and Governor,
respectively, the President again en-
phasized his bid for Progressive sup
port this fall.
As the President has succeeded, &C
cording to Republicans, in incorpo-
rating much Republican doctrine in
the achievements of his Administra-
ton, on which Re is running for re
election. so now, it would appear, he
is attempting to annex Progressive"
TO the title of his party. Both the
Seabury and McCombs nominations
the President regards as important
progressive" victories.
To Mr.. McCombs the President
wired:
81 congratulate you most warmly on
your nomination by the Democrats Of
New York for the United States SEN
ate. A united body Of progressive
voters will be behind you"
To Mr.. Seabury he sent the follow
ing message:
Your nomination by the Democrats
OF New York for the Governorship Of
the state gratifes me very deeply, as
it must crafty all friends of pro-
gressiye government. | warmly con-
graduate you and predict a decisive

Slap at Administration.

Below the surface of Democratic
politics, however, the nomination of
Mr.. McCombs is taken as direct slap
at the Administration by the party or
ganizaton in New York. The attempted
shelving and virtual ignoring of the
man who was largely instrumental in
nominating and eecting President Will
son four years ago, brought about by
Administration orders at the ST. Louis
convention, Is too recent to have been
entirely forgotten. even by Democrats.
Friends Of the President succeeded then
in dominating the national committee
and preventing the selection of Homer
Cummings as chairman, as well as GUST
ing McCombs. But the latter, by his vic
tory in New York, has shown heels not
thus easily to be eliminated"
In virtual seclusion at Shadow Lawn
the President is now working out the
final details of the speeches on which
he is to attempt to justify his reelec-
ton In large measure they will be
merely an amplification of the various

YEARS.

The Rev. Father Charles E. Dona-

years has been pastr of ST. Paurs
church at Portsmoud Va. died last
night about O'clock in St Vincent's
hospital at Norfolk where he had
been taken for treatment a few DAYS
ago. Death was due to heart dis
ease. He was SIS years old.
1t was generally known that Father
Donahoe had not enjoyed excellent
health for several years and that his
heart had been weak. Some time ago
he underwent an operation in a hos.
peared to be getting along nicely but
heart trouble again developed and this
time he was in the hospital but a
short time.
Father Donahoe was widely known
throughout the Virginia diocese and
had been located at various times at
many parishes. He was especially
well known in Martinshurg. as he had
been pastor of st. Ioseph's church
here for five years. He was also in
charge of the Catholic church at
Berkeley Springs while pastor here.
The deceased was graduated a
priest in 1889 from 9 Mary's semi.

the Virginia diocese. In the fall of
1902 he was transferred from New

SPEAKER CLARK

Helm


Keep hens and eat wush and rice
and thus destroy the infamous food
trust, is the advice of Champ Clark,
speaker of the house. Any one with
twenty square feet of ground, says
Mr. Clark, can keep a few hens and
il they lay an egg or more they will
do their little bit toward reducing the
cost of living for the owners. AS
for mush, it's highly nutritious food,
and there isn't enough of it eaten.
Rice is cheap, too.
There may or may not be chance
for Mr.. Fitzgerald's proposed embargo
bill" said the speaker. 1T might do
some good; I don't know. l think the
government can help lower the price
Of food by legislative or other action,
but there are direct ways by which
the consumer can help. Every one
should keep some hens. Mush is high
ly nutritious and it isn't eaten enough.
Rice is too generally overlooked in
this country / was surprised to hear
that cents worth Of rice win serve

It still remains to be developed
whether the process of fanking the
Roumanians out of their positions is
to be continued by other crossings of
the Danube still farther east. The
southern bank of the river is held by
the troops of the central powers to a
point beyond Tchernavoda.
DisorderIy Retreat Claimed.
That the retreat of the Roumanians
toward the nearer defenses Of Buch-
Arrest already is under way and is a
precipitate one is indicated by the
German official statement. which an
nounces a disorderly retirement of
the Roumanian forces along the en-
tire Wallachian front before Gen. Won

the Roumanians the, Russians have
taken the offensive near Kirlibaba, on

ians northwest of the Roumanian
frontier. Attacks here, Petrograd re-
heights east and south of Kirlibaba

Moldavian front, resulted only in To-
