DENIAL BY LABOR LEADER THAT RIOTS
 IN ILLINOIS WERE INSPIRED BY UNION
 WORKERS BRINGS OUT WARM ARGUMENTS
Republican A. P. Leased Wire)

NEW YORK, July 6.-Denia by Samuel Gompers president o the American Federation of Labor that trade unons had had share in the East St. Louis riots which was met by vehement denunciaton by Theodore Roose welt of the murder of helpless negroes precpitated tumultuous demonstration at meeting held in Car nege Hall here tonight in honor of the Russian mission to the United States
 MT. Roosevelt was interrupted by Mr. Gompers, who rose from his seat and approached the former president
 'Why don't you after an investigation the labor leader demanded
 With these words he returned to his seat Roosevelt strOde over to his chair and exclaimed:
 MT. Gompers, why don't accuse afterwards? I'll answer when murder is to be answered!''
 With that the colonel brought down on Mr. Gompers' shoulder his open left hand which he had raised above his head At this juncture many of the the platform eaped to their feet and there was storm of hsses cheers and boos from all parts of the house. When Mr. Roose- welt could make himself heard above the dn he went on:
 Il will go to any extreme to bring justice to the labor ing man but when there is murder will put him down

STRICT ESPIONAGE
 MEASURES BUT ND HYSTER|A WANTED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Although officials here take little stock in the more sensational spy rumors that have followed the submarine attack on the American expeditionary force. it is not unlikely that the agitation may result in more stringent espionage regulations especially with regard to outgoing mails and cables
 It has been dec.ared authoritatively that startling revelations of what al- ready has been accomplished might be made if it were considered in the pub lie interest.
 The government realizes that such a course probably would serve no good purpose and might generate a spy hysteria of dangerous proportions like the scares which resulted in injustices to innocent persons in several European countries earlier in the war
 In view of the loyal attitude of the large body of German -AmerIrans it 5 considered particularly important that there be no hysterical agitation and no unnecessary engendering of suspicion against the foreign born.
 That the efficient German spy sys- tenn is operating in this country is con- sdered by high officials as one of the inevitable circumstances of the war. I edly makes espionage easier than in most countries since the spies can scatter among the foreign colonies and be completely lost to sight.
 Many officials believe there should be closer government control of out going cab,es, and legislation to that end may be asked It is possible also that power will be sought to censor outgoing mails.
 Postmaster General Burleson said today that he was opposed to any mail censorship to neutral countries on the ground itis not necessary. Communication to Spain probably will be first involved by this govern ment, as messages sent there via Cuba do not in any way come under British surveillance. The government knows that there are many wireless pants in Spain and the Germans there undoubt- edly are communicating with Berlin.

 JEROME, July 7 (1:23 A. M.)-De- cison to take a vote Saturday on the question of joining with the Industrial Workers of the World organization in the strike was reached tonight, it was announced, at the meeting of the Jer- ome local.
 JEROME, July 6.-It was estimated that about 250 miners failed to report at the various copper mines in the Jerome district as a result of strike order issued by the Industrial Workers of the World organization.
 The number failing to report for work was said to be about third of the total number of miners em- ployed on the night shift in the diff ferent mines. It was said that some of the men remained away from the mines to await the acton of the Jerome local of the International Union of Mine Mill and Shelter Workers, at a meeting called tonight to determine whether the union should make the same demands the Industrial Workers of the World have presented. The lat ter organization demands increased pay and changed working conditions.
 Several of the mines in the district were closed tonight as a result of the decision of the operators to await the action of the International union. The United Verde, the largest mine in the district, and the United Verde Exten- sion was reported to be short handed
 Robert l.. Tally, superintendent of the United Verde, said he expected 80 per cent of his men to be on duty tomorrow. Other superintendents were reported to be less optimistic.
 Immediately after the stlIke was called notices were posted by the Jerome local of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers informing members the strike action was taken without authority and the union could not recognize the order. The question of responding to the call was left to each man to decide for himself.
 meeting of the Jerome local of the International Union was called for to- night for the purpose of taking a vote on whether the union should make the same demands as the Industrial Work CTS of the World had presented. H. w. McCluskey organizer for the h. ternational union, said he had not heard of single member favoring the strike"
 l uc utllldlIuS Hldue DN the lnuuStrlal Workers include the following condi- tions:
 Six-hour day for all underground men; minimum wage of $6 a day for underground workers, and s5.50 for surface men; two men at all drills at least two men shall work under ground in all places; abolition of slid : ! Ing scale contract system bonus: | hot 1 err no armed men employed at any time;' no discrimination against union men and abolition of physical exam ! ination.
 The strike of union miners here last
 May was settled June B. It did not ] involve the wage scale. The compa . mes agreed to recognize the grievance ] committees elected by the employees
 not to discriminate against strikers l and to cooperate with miners in re- ] duclng the cost of living.

When the former president had fin ished, MT. Gompers, evidently deeply stirred, started to rise to make re- joiner, but was pushed back into his seat by those who sat near him. while Mayor Mitchell, who presided, pounded vigorously with his gavel in an effort t. restore order. Several minutes elapsed before it was possible to in- troduce Boris Bakhmetieff. the Rus sian ambassador, and continue the meeting. AS the excitement subsided. Mir. Roosevelt and MT. Gompers found tehmselves sitting side by side.
 It was at the close Of an address by MT. Gompers that the colonel was rec ognized by Mayor Mitchell. MT. Comp CTS had declared that many laboring men are in much the same position as Russians under the old regime read telegram he said he had received to- night from the president of the Fed eration of Labor of Illinois. This mes sage purported to explain the origin of the East St Louis riots. It as- serted that instead of labor unions being responsible fo- them they re- suited from employtrs enticing ne- groes from the south to the city ito break the back of labor"
 There should be no apology for the infamous brutalities committed on the colored people of East St. Louis" de- clared Mir. Roosevelt, in beginning his vigorous denunciation of the riots. Justice is not a mere phrase. It has to be translated into action. How can we praise Russia for doing justice to all people when we must apologize for doing murder to the helpless?
 Tn the past we have listened to teh same excuse from those in author ity in old Russia for the fearful po- groms on the Jews. l will do anything for the laboring man except that which , is wrong and that I won't do for him or for any one else. I care not snap of my fingre for a telegram from the head of the labor unions of Illinois Let there be the fullest investigation into these murders
 It was at this point that the inter- ruption came from MT. Gompers. Mr Roosevelt already had departed a lit tie earlier in the evening from the text of his formal speech of welcome to the Russians to refer to the riots.
 Before I greet the envoys of the new republic,' he had said, q wish to say a word to you in regard to something that has recently occurred inside our own boundaries.
 Before We speak of justice to others i it behooves us to do justice within our own boundaries. I refer to the race riot in East St. Louis, race riot for which, so far as we can see, there was no provocation and which resulted in such appalling brutality as to leave a stain on the American name.
 i Tt behooves us to express our con-
 demnation of acts that give the lie to our words within the limits of our own country and to say that it is impossible
 that there should be Justification for
 mob violence It is our duty to demand
 that the government authorities shall
 use with ruthless severity every power
 at their command to punish those guilty of murder whether committed by ! (Continued on Page Two)

'bONE DRY'' PLAN VOTED DOWN WHEN
 SENATE BALLOTS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, July 6.-At the close of day of turbulent debate, and after voting B to 34 against the so-called bone dry" amendment, the senate to- night recessed until tomorrow in the midst of the prohibition fight on the food control bill.
 Defeat of the bone dry proposal insures that legislation prohibiting manufacture of intoxicants will be linn ited to distilled beverages. Whether consumption as well as manufacture of distilled spirits shall cease during the war, a neW element injected into the contest at the eleventh hour. com- pletely disrupted leaders well laid plans and caused the recess for con- ferences on compromise.
 After roll calls showing a consider abe majority against stopping manu- facture of beer and wines or giving the president power to suspend their manu- facture the senate voted 6S to 10 to prohibit the importation of distilled beverages and then by a vote of 45 to 40 tentatively adopted a provision pro- hibiting withdrawal of distilled spir- it's now held in bond for beverage pur- poses. Both provisions, though voted on separately, are contained in an amendment by Senator Cummins and added to the so called administration compromise substitute of Senator Rob inson of Arkansas, prohibiting only manufacture of distilled beverages. The substitute was offered for the clause as drafted by the agriculture committee which would place the ques- tion of beer and wine manufacture in the hands of the president.
 Many senators who had planned to vote for the Robinson substitute ex pressed their disapproval of the Cum mins amendment, which they declared proposed virtual confiscation of 220, 900, 900 gallons of distilled beverages in bond without conserving any grain They pointed out thal the government would lose next year between S25O, 900, 900, and s300,000,000 in taxes and as- serted that banks with loans upon dis titled spirits might be put out of bus mess.
 The prohibition forces, however, were openly elated over the possibility o1 stopping consumption as well as manu- facture of whiskey and other hard beverages.

REPORTERS REFUTE
 WITNESS STORY IN
 RENA MOONEY CASE
IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wire1


 SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-Proceed- ings in the Rena Mooney murder trial today were confined to efforts of the defense to discredit state witnesses.
 Three witnesses. all newspaper re- porters, contradicted portions of the testimony given by Mrs. Estella Smith, who had related while on the stand for the prosecution that she saw Warren K. Billings on the roof of a building about a mile from the scene of last July's preparedness day bomb explo- sion about a half hour before it oc- cured. Billings. the first of the bomb case defendants to be tried was sen fenced to life imprisonment. Each of the reporters said he had secured an. interview from Mrs. Smith regarding Billings movements before the explo- sion. Mrs. Smith had denied granting any interviews.
 Two other witnesses today contra dicted the testimony of John Mcdonald, who testified for the prosecution that he had seen Billings place at the scene of the explosion a suitcase which the state contends contained the bomb.
 Two police officers testified that or ders to keep vehicles off Market street during the preparedness parade had been observed. The state contends that i the bomb defendants drove to the scene of the explosion at Steuart and Market streets in jitney bus.
 c. T. Smith, introduced by the de- fense as suitcase expert, said that certain pieces of leather and imitation leather exhibited by the state as relics of the explosion could not have been portions of a suitcase but must have come from a handbag.
 The defense announced that it would conclude it's case late next Wek.

SELECTION DAY 1. FUR DRAF I MAY
 BE NEXT WEEK
[RepubIlcan A. p. Leased wire1

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Selection day for the new national army is ap- proachlng rapidly as the local exemp- tlon boards in the various states com plete their organization. Indications are that the drawing will be held next week. but no official statement has
 been made as to the war department's plans.
 Administration officials still main tam strict silence as to the method to
 be followed. It is understood. however. that it is proposed to place in s1nsle jury wheel in. Washington one complete set of numbers. When a number is talk en from the wheel, the men in each exemption district whose card bears
 the serial number will be drafted Thus as each number is drawn approximate
 ly 3O,0O0 men will be drafted, or one in
 each exemption district If 1.20O. 900
 men are to be held before the exemp-
 ton boards in the first selection. which
 seems highly probable, only forty num-
 bers would need to be drawn
 Various ways of making the draft as
 fair as possible have been suggested The matter has had President Will sons personal consideration. in line with his pledge that the method em- ployed would be just in every respect While the first contingent of the new army, under the bill is limited to 50O,- 600 men, an additional 125.000 or 150,- 0e0 will be needed to make up the re- serve battalions of this force. Reserve battalions are now being recruited for all regular regiments and will be re- cruited for the national guard when il is drafted into the federal service The organization of the national army will be on the same basis.
 It may be necessary. also, to draf, | enough men to fill up the regulars and national guard to war strength. al | though no decision to this end has | been reached as yet. The regulars are now close to war strength and the 1 guard units are recruiting rapidly. Ii | possible they will be completed by the
 volunteer system.

Protest Hunt Appointment

RISBEE, July 6.-The situation here, resulting from the strike called some days ago by the Metal Mine Workers branch of the I. w ". showed lit e change today. Operators claimed more men were at work than at any time since the strike was called. Fewer pickets were at the mines than yester- day, about 50 shifting their efforts to- ward a local laundry. some of the em- ployes of which have organized a laun- dry workers branch of the l. ". w. Scores of women and girls employed in the laundry were forced to walk through long lines of pickets when re- porting for work this morning, but there was no disorder.
 Operators today openly expressed their dissatisfaction over the appoint ment of former Governor c. w. P. Hunt as conciliator at large. The Citi- zens' Protective League, Workmen' s Loyalty League and Warren District Commercial club all telegraphed pro- tests to Arizona's delegation at Wash ington, against the appointment of MT. Hunt. Operators stated today that they would willingly confer with any federal representative regarding the strike, but would under no circum- stances meet with any representative of the metal workers union. There was no trouble of any character during the day or night.
