LABOR fights wilson
STRIKE LEGISLATION
A. F. of L. Will Oppose Compulsion
of Any Character.

Organized labor's spokesmen voiced
violent opposition to President Wilson'S
strike prevention legislation, before the
Senate Interstate Commerce Committee,
which began hearings yesterday on
the proposed law. Representatives of
the railroads appeared and endorsed the
measure, which would supplement the
Adamson law and include a provision
for arbitration and a provision for pre-
venting strikes pending investigation of
disputes.
Administration plans to rush the bill
through the committee struck snag at
the outset, through the opposition of sew
eral Republican members of the COM
mittee, who demanded that greater time
be allowed for thrashing out various
views.
The American Federation of Labor will
oppose legislation which carries COM
pulsion of any character Frank Morri-
son, secretary of the organization, an
nounced. The big four" railroad brother
hoods, through P. ]. Mcnamara, served
notice that these bodies are opposed to
the proposed legislation.
On behalf of the railroads. former
Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia,
stated that the railroads did not op-
pose the principles involved in the Presi-
dents recommendations but reserved the
right to make suggestions as to the
form of the bills at later time.
At the White House it was said that
the President is confident that his rail-
road program will be put through at
this session, and that an extra session
will not be necessary.

ACCUSES RAILROADS
OF DISTRIBUTING Law
Trainmen's Leader Alleges Trains
Purposely Are Being Delayed.

CBy the International News Service
Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 2.-W. G. Lee,
head of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, late today issued a statement
charging that the railroads Of the coun-
try are now making every effort possible
to discredit the Adamson eight-hour law
before the people of the country.
They are running trains behind sched-
ule to lie up traffic and create overtime
for the men, their purpose being to try
to show that the Adamson law will work
to the detriment of the public at large"
Lee said.
In a sealed message dispatched today
to the local chairmen of the big Four
railroad brotherhoods, the chiefs Of the
organizations placed the eight-hour day
situation squarely up to the 10000 mem
bers
The big Four Chiefs refused to dis
cuss the message, but it is believed to
be the special circular announced in New
York last week following refusal of rail-
road managers to place the arrangements
OF law into effect January l, pending the
Supreme Court decision on its con-
stitutionality.
The tenor of the message was stated
to be similar to circulars sent to the men
in September and October.

BLACKMAIL PLOT
'MODEL"CASE
Philadelphia Girl Was Slave,
Say Police-Rich Youth
Implicated.

(By the International News Service.)
Philadelphia, Jan. 2.-The murder of
Mszie Agnes Colbert has developed into
an amazing story of blaclmail and de-
prayity. If the story the police learned
tonight is so, this unhappy girl. known
in her glittering circle as Grace Roberts,
was the most abject of slaves
The arrest of one Of the wealthiest
young men in the central section Of
Pennsylvania is expected. He Is now in
this city under police surveillance. If
this astounding story that the police now
have is so, he either killed the splendid
creature about whom artists raved, or
else saw her killed while he stood In the
same room.
The story has It that she was a black
mailer; that 1t was this wealthy young
man whom she was to have black
mailed; that the man who was her brutal
master either saw her killed or heard
the fierce fight that resulted in her
death
Then, according to this story, he fed
from her luxurious apartment by way
Of the bathroom window, the window
that William Benjamin, the negro jani-
tor, found open when he climbed into
the place on Saturday night and found
her body.
Was Models Master.
An actor of this drama is a man whose
life heretofore has been considered
blameless. He was the girls master.
She did not love him but feared him.
Following him comes the wealthy young
man and then a famous athlete. The
story Is so dramatic and so amazing that
the police have hesitated to make an
arrest thus far. But they are keeping
the up-Stater under close surveillance.
His attempt to leave this city would pre-
cipitate his arrest Immediately.
Here is the story as Capt Tate, chief
of the Philadelphia detectives. learned it
tonight:
led a wonderful merry life until a year
ago, when she fell under the influence of
the man who became her master. In her
career of laughter and carelessness she
met the youth whose father left a for
tune, approNimating six figures. She met
sundry other such men. wealthy, who
have nothing to do but prey upon young
girls.
Wrote to Young Man.
Less than a month ago she was forced
to write to the young man from Central
Pennsylvania that she was contemplating
suing him for breach of promise. She
knew and he knew the charge was false.
The letter merely stated that she had
laid the matter in the hands of a lawyer
Sine named the lawyer.
TIE young man decided to see the law
yer and came to PhiIadelphia on Friday
for that purpose. Not being satisfied
with the interview, or being frightened
and desiring to argue the girl into a
state OF reason, he made an unexpected
visit to her apartment in the Wilton on
Saturday afternoon.
Grace Roberts maid, Eleanor, had gone.
and the young woman responded to the
ring herself. In the apartment at the
home was her master. She warned him
wildly to disappear. He fled into the
bathroom. Just what happened then is
told vaguely only.

MONOPOLY
Daniels Advocates Federal
Control of Wireless.

A government monopoly of the conduct
Of wireless communication, both by land
and sea, was demanded by Secretary OF
the Navy Daniels last night as an i'm
perative necessity for the national de-
Tense.
The Secretary of the Navy, in a let
ter to Senator Fletcher, chairman of
the Senate Commerce Committee. and
Representative Alexander, chairman of
the House Merchant Marine Committee,
urged speedy action on a pending meas
ure authorizing the government to take
over and operate all wireless stations, as
absolutely necessary for the best inter-
ests of the nation"
The Secretary's letter emphasized the
difficulties encountered in preventing the
unneutral use of wireless stations in pri-
vate hands, and the menace of permit
ting alien operators aboard American
ships in times of international difficulty.
He suggested a provision in the pending
legislation which would bar all but Amer
lean citizens from operating wireless ap-
paratus on American vessels.
THE difficulties Of maintaining the
radio neutrality of the United States dur
ing the present war have been real in
spite of earnest attempts on the part of
commercial radio companies to cooper
ate with the Department" the Secretary
said
The possibilities of unneutral service
by the sending of messages from sta
tions in the United States containing in
formation of military value to one side
or the other are very great, while COM
mercial radio stations under other than
government control can give out informa-
ton of incalculable value during that
twilight period which would probably
precede the opening of any war to which
this country might become a party"

Masked Men Gag Theater

New York, Jan. 2-Three masked men
crept into the Regent Theater, at 3S5
Third avenue. early today and, after
binding and gagging Tony Cantalano, the
watchman. according to history, blew
open the office safe, escaping with the
New Years day proceeds of 800.
Cantalano says he locked up the build
ing, with the exception of a small door
in the back used by the film exchange
delivery man. AS he was making his
rounds he heard footsteps in the orches-
ira section. and, believing it was the
film man, thought nothing of It.
When he descended to the lower floor,
he says, he was confronted by the three
masked men with revolyers. One of the
men tied his hands and arms behind his
back and bound his feet. He was thrown
into a closet after gag had been placed
in his mouth.
