HOME OF OUTCASTS
 DECLARED UNSAFE
''Nobudy's Building in Bridgeport No Longer Open as Abode of
 NOmad Fraternity.

Bridgeport, Sept. 6.-"Nobody's Building" on Cannon street, next to the post office, has been condemned For fifteen years or more the four story brick structure in the heart of of the business center has been ten antless and ownerless, used only by 9 succession of squatters who paid no rent, made no repairs and had no responsibility of any kind. Now the authorities have stepped in and placed a big placard on the front doors warning everybody that the place is in a dangerous condition. Years ago the government wanted the property as an addition to the post office. Negotiations were begun, price was agreed on, but then a dis agreement arose. Since then nobody has owned the place. The govern ment said it had not bought it and would not take it. The former own CT held that he had sold it and he wanted only his money, with interest. The city did not want to foreclose tax liens, for that would make 1t a three-cornered fight to determine ownership, and if it should be de- termined that the government was re- sponsible the property would be free from local taxation and the city's ef- forts would be wasted. The police refrained from interfering with the squatters so long sts peace was main- tained and no evident damage was done. Through all the years during g which rents have tripled in price the place has brought in no revenue to anybody, until now, evidently, the interior is unfit for human habitation and even the half nomads that have been using it have been warned away. The end of the controversy is not yet in sight.

Formation of New Party.
 Minneapolis, Sept. 6.-The Ameri- can Alliance for Liberty and Democ- racy today took up plans for estah- fishing local branches fro coast to coast in the campaign to bring or ganized labor up solidly behind the government in it's prosecution of the war and to stamp out disloyal and o-German activities.
 The resolutions committee began drawing up the declarations of the alliance, recently formed for the an nounced purpose of combating dis loyalty, which are expected to put organized labor right before the world"
 John Spargo, former member of the executive committee of the so cialist party who with a number of other leading socialists, left the party because of it's anti-war stand, issued a statement denying reports that new socialist party would be organ ized during the present conference.

COAL CONFERENCE
 GOING 10 CAPITAL
Owners and Employers Repre- SentatiVeS Adjourn to Washington

Indianapolis, Sept. 6.-Indications shortly before the convention here to- day of the joint conference of bitum- cials of the United Mine Workers of America, called by the miners off, cers for the announced purpose of demanding an increase in minig wages. were that the conference would adjourn without action to meet again in Washington within a few days.
 In the call for the conference is- sued by the miners union, the coal operators of the central coal fields were asked to meet the officials of the union when the miners would present their arguments for a substantial in- crease in the mining scale.
 The operators, while no statement was given out, indicated in their conversations that they preferred to wait the decision of pr. H. A. Gar field national coal director on the price to be charged by retail coal dealers before taking any action on the question of an increased mining scale It seemed to be the concesus of both the operators and the miners who would talk on the subject that the conference here, which was to open informally, would be adjourned to Washington.
 It was stated unofficially that the miners would ask for an increase of 20 cents ton for pick and machine mining ad icrease of from 40 to 50 cents day for all day labor at the mines.

 "It closes Mexico to the work of Christian churches, to the civilizing influence of the Christian religion, and it's uplifting agencies, sad MT.

 The Bar association authorized the committee appointed to oppose judi cial recall.
