Gompers Coming
Here to Combat
German Plotting
A. F. of L. Leaders Meet
Saturday to Oppose
Peoples Council

Samuel Gompers, with other labor
officials, will come to New York on Sat
urday 70 draft plans for an active cam
paign to stamp out the German IN
fuences now at work among the work
men of the country. They will also at
tack the Peoples Council and its afili-
ated organization, the Workmen's
Council of America, of which JACOB
Panken is chairman.
This was announced yesterday by Err
nest Bohm, corresponding secretary OF
the Central Federated Union.
"The programme of action" he said,
(which will be mapped out by President
Gompers will be a national one ana
will include action against the Peoples
Council in all leading centres where 1t
has branches and headquarters.
"The action Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor will be guided by its de-
cision to carry on thorougngoing and
national propaganda for the American
ization Of the labor movement of tn.
United States in support of the war d
the United States against Germany.
"In pursuance of its new policy, the
federation will war upon all agencies
and organizations tending to split the
American labor movement on the issues
of the war"
Jacob Panken yesterday claimed that
in New York City alone the Workmen's
Council had more than 100000 mem
bers.
1--WE were directed by our organiza-
tions to form the Workmen's Council,
he said, because of the quiescent atti-
tude of the American Federation OF
Labor 70 every suspension of labor laws
and rules"
Among other things he charges that
Mr.. Gompers has permitted the gov
eminent to take from the workmen
their right to strike, has not proteste
against the projected importation OF
coolie labor and has submitted to the
throttling of the publications Of the
workmen. Concerning the alleged pro-
German sentiment of his organization
Mr.. Panken said:
at is becoming the custom nova
days, when some one disagrees with
some one else, or fears some one, to
dub him a German spy.
"If that accusation has been made
against the Workmen's Council or it's
components it is too ridiculous to merit
reply. 1t is an absolute lie. We are
Americans, all"

Wallstein and Swami
Both Issue Denials
Commissioner Says He Didn't;
District Attorney Says He
Didn't Say He Did

Leonard NJ. Wallstein. Commissioner
of Accounts, wrote District Attorney
Swami yesterday that his investlga-
tors did not equip an "orgy fiat to
persuade Charles NJ. Strauss, an en-
ploye of the License Department, TO
hire a pickpocket to work among appli-
cants for licenses. The assertion that
TIE Commissioner of Accounts had 80
utilized public funds was made by
Strauss's attorney and by Assistant
District Attorney Black on Monday,
when the former sought permission to
inspect the minutes of the grand jury
that indicted his client.
Furthermore, Mr.. Wallstein wrote
of the District Attorney
had maintained before Magistrate Nc
Adoo that Strauss had committed no
crime.
The first delivery this morning will
carry the District Attorneys reply. Mr..
Swami wrote Mr.. Wallstein was "in
error" in stating that the prosecutor
had maintained Strauss had committed
no crime. The stand of the District
Attorneys Office, he said, was set forth
in its brief submitted to Magistrate Nc
Adoo. He called Mr.. Wallstein's atten-
ton to the fact that the District At
torney had opposed the motion of the
defence to inspect the grand jury min
utes.
This motion Judge Mcintyre referred
yesterday to Judge Mott, having been
reminded that he himself, before be-
coming a judge of General Sessions,
had investigated the methods of Will
lam H. Boyle, who is said to have hired
the "orgy fiat"
M Swami learned yesterday that NJ.
F. Loughman, foreman of the grand
jury that indicted Strauss. had COM
planned to Judge Mulqueen of Boyle's
methods.

'Cyclist Meets Bull;
Thought 1t Was a Cow
Tossed Over Fence; Hip Hurt;
Red Machine Wrecked

No one knows what the bull thought
as he stood in the middle Of the Ar
thur Kill Road at Rossville, Staten ISL
and, yesterday and watched Edward
Bulger, of Rossville, bear down upon
him, astride a bright red motorcycle.
Fifteen minutes later Bulger said
feebly he thought it was a COW:
That was why he did not halt when
the bull broke loose from Henry Schack
who was leading him, and came trot-
ting along, shaking his head.
Bulger remembers blowing his horn,
and he recollects lying in the field, all
tangled up with his motorcycle. But OF
what happened in between time ne has
no idea.
Witnesses say that the bull hit the
machine and rider, lifted them from the
road and hurled them over hve.toot
fence, which he. then tried to climb
himself. Bulger was taken home with
a badly wrenched hip. His motorcycle
is a wreck.

Mrs. Cocchi Tells
OF More Bungling
In the Cruger Case
Informed Police She F cared
Husband Had Fled; They
Failed to Report 1t

New evidence of police bungling-or
stupidity-in the Ruth Cruger case was
furnished yesterday by Mrs. Alfredo
Cocchi, wife of the confessed slayer, to
the special grand jury investigating the
police failure. She declared that early
on. the morning Of February 10, on
learning that her husband had not been
home the previous night, she went to
his motorcycle shop and found it locked.
Mrs. Cocchi says she hunted up
Patrolman Koberlein and Mullahy, who
were on duty in uniform near by, and
asked them to break open the door. She
said she told them that she supposed
her husband chad run away with some
girl"
When Mrs. Cocchi talked with Kober-
lein and Mullahy, the newspapers for
two days had been full of the details
Of Miss Cruger's disappearance. Cocchi's
place had been frequently mentioned as
the last place she had been seen, and
the police had full reports that her
trail ended at Cocchi's shop.
Yet, in spite Of this. Koberlein and
Mullahy made no report of their con-
versation with Mrs. Cocchi. Later in
the day she went herself to the Fourth
Branch Detective Bureau and told them
of her suspicious that her husband had
fed.
"lf this is no more than stupidity, it
is the rankest sort Of stupidity that 7
ever heard of and is almost beyond my
belief, and have had pretty long ex.
perience in police work in criminal
cases." said James w. Osborne, Special
Assistant District Attorney.
Assistant District Attorney Talley
said that Koberlein had reason to aues-
tion the morals of Cocchi because he
was the policeman who took the COM
plaint of Mrs. Margaret Powers, who, n
few months before, had charged that
Cocchi tried to take liberties with her
when she called for some work Kober-
lein also knew that Cocchi had struck
his wife during quarrel, which arose
when Mrs. Cocchi accused him of in
fidelity to her. Mr.. Talley pointed out
that Koberlein also kept that evidence
to himself.
1t was learned yesterday that four
civilians have testified in the investiga-
tion to their activities in trying to clear
up the mystery of the Cruger girls dis
appearance, and of the difficulties which
they met in dealing with the Fourth
Branch Bureau. Their names have not
been divulged.
The grand jury will soon take up
phase of the case which may turn out
to have been a "red herring" fabricated
for no other purpose than TO give
Cocchi time in which to make his es-
cape. That is the taxicab story which
the police appeared to have settled on
as the basis of their belief that Ruth
Cruger, had gone away voluntarily.
Ii was learned yesterday that the
grand jury is exhibiting more intense
interest in the police phases of the in
vestigation as the evidence continues
to grow. 1t is likely that more indict-
ments will be returned this week

the consumer or the retailer produce in
competition with the trade. This, he
believed, would result in prices regu-
lsting themselves to great extent, and
would not be ar interference with the
natural course of the produce business.
Mr.. Perkins suggested that the Wicks
bill be amended so as to permit the
some cooperation between distributors
of foodstuifs as it now permits be-
tween producers Of milk and other
farm products. He further advised
a law similar to that just passed by
New Jersey, which gives each mu-
nicipality the right to buy food and
distribute it as it may deem best.
George Murnann, Of the Cypress
Hills Board Of Trade. occasioned much
merriment by advocating that milk pro-
ducers be allowed a profit of only per
cert.

himself farmer and milk producer,
"only per cent?"
Says Per Cent Is Enough
"The government, on its contracts,
allows only 10 per cent on manufact-
ures," replied Murmann. Cows pro.
duce every day. and l per cent should
be enough"
Don't manufacturers produce every
day." asked Senator Brown.
"Yes," said Murmann, "but per cent
every day on milk would be 3b5 per
cent a year"
"You're driving ME crazy" said the
chairman. "Show me how to get 365
per cent out of milk"
But the witness couldn't do 1t, aad
Senator Brown dissppointedly ad-
journed the hearing until II o'clock
