Labor Leader Announces
Swami Will Get Support

District Attorney Swami will have
the support of organized labor in fight
ing the charges made against him by
ex-Judge James A. Delehanty. This
was announced last night by Hugh
Frayne, organizer Of the American
Federation and i'm charge Of the or
gauizatiou's New York office.
"Organizcd labor reseuts and will
resent this or any similar effort TO use
or involve 10 In a perfectly obvious
effort 20 destroy "a public official be-
cause b. refused TO prosecute union
men arrested and held on trumped up
testimony" he declared
"The United Garment Workers will
stand by their officers, and the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, of which the
garment workers form an integral part,
viii stand back Of them. If the cases
made the pretext for the attack upon
Mr. Swami were new. If they grew out
of a recent strike, the last strike, for
instance, there might be ground for
criticism; there would be ground for
criticism If he showed favoritism 70 or
gained labor. but the facts are that
the cases date back to a strike Of sew
eral years ago.
THE most that the District Attorney
has accorded organized labor or its rep
resentatiyes is fair treatment.
"Orgsnized labor has never asked
anything but ITS due from Mr.. Swami,
and il would not have got more than
its due had IL asked for it,"
Just what form the support of or
gained labor could or would take Mr..
Frayne could not say last night.
Depend upon it, though" said he,
lit will do everything in its power"
Labor leaders of the East Side, where
most of the garment workers live. were
last night planning demonstration in
favor of District Attorney Swami in
the near future.

TIGER SEES TRAP
IN SWAMI CASE
Tammany Regards Attack
as Fusion'S Open
ing Gun

The charges fled against District
Attorney Swami are already causing
some CONSERVATION among the local
Democratic leaders, looking ahead to
the Mayoralty campaign next fall. Some
of the Tammany leaders yesterday de-
clared that the attack on the District
Attorney was purely political. They
saw in it the first artillery fire Of the
Repubican-fusion forces TO clear the
way for a fusi0n drive on tho Mayor
atty
Whatever the result of the Dele
hanty-Swaun controversy may be, poll
ticians contcndcd that It was bound 20
have a damaging effect on the next
Iammany municipal campaign.
The Democrats charged that the Re
pu0licans were attempting to Kill TWO
birds with one stone putting District
Attorney Swami out OF the running as
possible Tammany candidate for
Mayor and at the same time ln)urng
the cause Of any other candidate Tam
many git place Iu the field They
admitted that The Swami charges might
afford good political capital for the
fgsiouists. They had no doubt that 1T
mayor Mitchell should run again on a
fusion ticket the charges would loom
up as q campaign issue. Some OF the
politicians believed that the cha gcs,
brought st this time. predicated AN
early announcement OF the organlza-
ton of the fusion forces.
The charges have given good
deal of impetus in Iammany circles 10
the discussion of candidates for the
Mayoralty, based on the assumption
that there ls bound TO be a fusion
against the Tiger. To Is understood
that the nomination was TO 90 to Dis
tricl Attorney Swami in the normal
course OF events, but the Delehanty
charges are said to have put a quietus
on his candidacy.
10 is known that certain influential
Tammany leaders are anxious TO con-
centrate on some big man 10 fight
Mayor Mitchell George McAneny, for
mer President of the Board of Alder
men, has been mentioned as the one
man these leaders would Ike TO see
at the head Of the Tammany ticket.
Mr.. McAnenys friends declare, how
ever, that he does not aspire 20 the
Mayoralty and could not be persuaded
10 be a candidate against Mayor
Mitchell in case the latter was TO head
the fusion ticket.
The suggestion, originating IN BROOK
lyn, that Tammany might rally around
Herman A. Metz as a candidate for
Mayor has received respectful consd-
Grafton I'm Manhattan Tammany coun-
ellis. One local Tammany leader SAID yes
terdav that the talk Of Metz as Tam
many's standard bearer next fall had
become more general since the Dele
hanty charges were filed.
The political availability OF Mr.. Metz
is disputed by some of the leaders
because Of his German extraction. The
leaders close to Charles +. Murphy say
that he is in favor of a strict organi-
zation man for the Mayoralty nomina-
ton. and believes that straight Tam
many candidate would show more
strength against a fusion nominee than
a Democrats candidate with more indie
pendent affiliations. The name OF
state Senator Robert F. Wagner IS fire.

Legislators Ready to Tao
kIe Living Problem at
Opening To-day
WHITMAN FACES
BATTLE IN SENATE
Elon X. Brown and Others
Determined to Block Gov
ernor's Programme

From a star Correspondent ~ Inc Ifnuhel
Albany. Jan. 1.-The 1917 Legislature
meets tomorrow noon, with a two
thirds Republican majority in both the
Senate and Assembly. The Democratic
and Republican caucuses tonight STAT
cd the same officers Of both houses as
we're at the helm last year. Most OF
the committee assignments will be tne
same, too. The first session Will be
merely for organization and the re-
ception Of the Governors message. An
adjournment will then be taken until
next Wednesday.
The Republican Senate caucus chose
Senator Elon r. brown. OF WATERFOWL
president pro TEN. and majority leader.
This will be his third term. No oppo-
sition arose. The Democrats turned
again 10 Senator Robert f. Wagner for
their leader. On the Assembly side
Thaddeus G. Sweet was chosen Speaker
for the foJrth time, and Joseph VI. Cal
lahan, Of Now York, minority leader.
Wagner and Callahan are the Tammany
leaders in the Legislature.
The coming session promises to be a
lively one throughout. Governor Whit
man will undoubtedly try to dominate
both houses, and will precipitate things
at the outset by introducing his own
budget. The joint budget committee
will have another to present next
month, and the ironing out process will
afford the fireworks on this subject.
Senator'S Sage and Brown have lined up
with Speaker Sweet and others in the
Assembly, it is understood, to fight the
Whitman budget.
The most important legislation will
relate to the high cost Of living and
the food supply Of the state, local
option, moving picture censorship and
Sunday movies, compulsory military
training, suffrage, Senate and Assembly
reapportionment plans and probable
changes of the election law.
A vote in both houses on the local
option measure to be introduced by
Senator Hill. OF Binghamton, is eX-
pected. That undoubtedly will occa-
sion protracted and bitter debate, but
every one will be got on record, 1t
is believed. Senator Hill said to-day
the bill would surely come out Of COM
mittee and reach a vote, but 1t is
doubtful of passage, according TO
present indications.
