Suggestion that some of the dele
gates to the convention were charged
with being in the employ of the
Burns detective agency and were at
the convention as "spies" was made
by President Gompers in a speech
opposing a resolution that a verba

all the proceedings Of the sessions.
"The Burns agency and other de-
tective agencies have Issued circu'
lars to large employers of labor that
they. will furnish them complete
copy of everything that goes on at
this convention and have even de-
clared there are some delegates in
their employ who will give what
ever information or evidence they
desire" he declared. "I do not be-
Iieve this is true and verify believe
it is not true" Gompers went on,
''but If such a condition exists what
is there to prevent these men max
ing utterances that will help their
cause and tend to place labor in a
wrong light?"
The resolution was finally amended
to read that only special articles and
subjects would be reported verbatim
for permanency and was passed.
President Gompers announced that
the controversy between the United
Carpenters and the United Associa-
ton of Structural Iron Workers had
been settled in conference and that
the latter had agreed to obey the
rules of the federation. The report

from Frank J. Hayes, president Of

The mine workers have 5000 votes
in the convention and the opposition
had hoped to attract strong leader
like Hayes to their cause.
The telegram from Hayes said "the
reports that I am opposed and that
the United Mine Workers Of America
are opposed to the militant war pro-

Such reports could have been in

Brighter Outlook.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 13.-Hope
for favorable adjustment of Rusisa's
immediate difficulties grew here to-
day despite evidences of reign of
terror in both Petrograd and Moscow.
Meantime solidification of the Italian
forces gave further optimism in off,
cial quarters though all agreed that
elements of chaos still are strongly
prominent in both the Russian and
Italian problems.
The state department anticipated
it would have before night some de-
tails of the Kerensky-Bolshevik fight
AS for Italy, the feeling was that
she would now better withstand the
Teuton onslaughts. Authorities here
realize that this situation has held
back the allied cause tremendously,
but are hopeful that the Huns can
be prevented from reaching Venice
and then be steadily turned from
their domination of the overrun sec
ton.

The provisional governments loyal
forces deployed down the historic
Nevsky Prospeckt and swept through
other thoroughfares.
According to unofficial reports, the
fighting was from barricade to bar
ricade in the streets themselves, but
with the Bolsheviki making fainter
and fainter resistance as the strength
Of the loyal troops was mace appaE-
rent to them.
The Smolny institute was reported
in previous dispatches to have been
put in state Of defense, preparatory
to withstanding siege if necessary.
The Bolshevilsi numbered sailors
from the Kronstadt garrison in their
forces and were fairly well armed
with both rifles and machine guns.
Apparently the fighting centered
on the Nevsky Prospeckt-the same
street which has already been repeat
eddy dyed with the blood OF various
reyolutionists. 1t was along this
thoroughfare that the cars guards
made their last stand against the
victorious duma revolutionists back
in March; where the Kronstadt rebeis
swept along with their automobiles
a few months later, scattering death;
and along which, during the last week,
the Bolsheviki executed their coup in
Selling control Of governmental ma
chinery.
