Trainmen Will Refuse
to Be Political Pawns

New York, Oct. 23.-Members of
the various railroad brotherhoods in
many States are resenting the efforts
of their national officers to deliver
their votes to President Wilson be-
cause of his support of the Adamson
law. They feel that their officers are
attempting to make them mere pawns
on the political checkerboard and they
refuse to be delivered.
That was the statement made by Ar
thur ID. Burbank, chairman of the leg
islative board of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen in Illinois. Mr..
Burbank, whose duties require him to
visit various lodges of his organization,
declared there was a decided trend to-
ward Hughes among railroad men and
that it daily-is growing stronger, as
the men have opportunity to study
and discuss the so-called eight-hour
law.
The sentiment in favor of Wilson is
disappearing, said Mr.. Burbank, and
the evident attempt of the Grand
Lodge officers to influence the men,
bership is reacting. The railroad men
as a class are pretty independent in
politics and do not want their officers
to tell them how they should vote.
The men who have always been Demo-
Gratis are shouting little louder than
usual in this campaign. but the men
who have always been Republicans
have not changed and are going to
vote for Hughes.
"A recent statement issued by the
president of one of the brotherhoods
to the effect that men who do not
support Wilson are to be put in a
class with the men who would stand
by the railroads in strike. has caused
a tremendous revulsion of feeling and
made thousands who were wayering.
come out openly for Hughes"

sion of DR.. Friedrich Adler, his as
sailant, shortly after his arrest.
Doctor Adler is an eccentric and
superradical Socialist, sometimes
known as THE Liebknecht of Aus
tria." He Is editor of Der Kampf. At
first he declined to reveal his motives,
but after being locked up he broke
down and declared the Premier's po-
litical policies had led him to do the
deed.
Doctor Adler's arrest was not ac-
complished without the wounding of
two men who leaped at him after he
had fired on Count Stuergkh. He dis
charged the two remaining cham
bers of his revolver at these men be-
fore Austrian and German officers,
with drawn sabers, overpowered him.
The wounded men, who were in
1ured slightly, are Baron Aehrenthal,
brother of the late Foreign Minister,
and the head waiter of the Hotel
Meissel und Schadn, In which the
shooting occurred.
Count Stuergkh arrived at the hotel
at 1880 o'clock. With him at luncheon
were Baron Aehrenthal, Count Tog-
genburg, governor of the Tyrol; Herr
Jacobsen, prominent Vienna musi-
clan and an actor from the Court
Theater
At o'clock q man unknown to the
Premier arrived and took q seat three
tables away. He ate luncheon and
paid for the meal, but fingered at the
table
Shortly after o'clock he arose. ad-
vanced quickly toward the Premier
and fired three shots. The first missed.
The next two struck the Premier in
the head. Without a word, Count
Stuergkh fell back lifeless in his chair.
Baron Aehrenthal sprang toward
Adler. The head waiter ran up from
behind the assassin and grasped the
hand that held the revolver. Adler
wrested his arm free and fired two
shots. Baron Aehrenthal was wound
ed in the foot. The waiter received
only superficial wound.
Seeing that the struggle was hope
| less, Doctor Adler surrendered to the
officers who crowded upon him and
gave up his revolver. Apparently, he
was the calmest man in the room. He
gave his name without hesitation and
added:
"If you please, gentlemen, I know
| perfectly well what l have done. ]
shall not resist arrest
| In reply to question as to the rea-
son for his act, he said at first:
! That shall have to answer in
court
| 1t was half an hour later that he
admitted that he had been actuated
by political motives.
Physicians and high police and
State officials reached the scene of the
shooting within a few minutes, but
found that the Premier was lifeless.
| News of the assassination spread
rapidly and was received with in
dignation and sorrow.

the scheme, by which Gompers hopes
to throw the whole labor vote of the
United States to the President. Never
before in the history of the United
States has there been an effort made
openly to deliver the vote or organized
labor to one party. Leading labor
unionists for years have fought against
the mixing of labor affairs in parti-

downfall of the labor cause is ever
accomplished it would be such tao
