LABOR PLEDGES
IT'S SUPPORT TO
U.S.DURING WAR
Plan to Crush Down Sneaking
Traitors and Copper
heads

| Philadelphia, Sept. five are
at war and there shall be no more
oppression, no more kings, no more
war on this earth. This is our an
swer to the hiss of the copperhead."
Charles Edward Russell. the noted
Socialist and writer, member of the
United States mission to Russia, thus
defined the attitude of Americas S
workers toward the war on Germany
at a great loyalty mass meeting of
Philadelphia labor organizations yes
terday.
Three great spokesmen of Ameri-
can working men addressed this
meeting, held by the American Ali-
ance for Labor and Democracy, and
so aroused the enthusiasm of the
I,OOO workers crowded into the the
ater that they rose en- masse in a
pledSe 10 push the war to victory.
In addition to Russell the speakers
were Frank Morrison, secretary
treasurer of the American Federation
or LABOR, and Clarence Darrow, noted
labor lawyer of Chicago. A letter
was also read from James Duncan,
another member of the Russian mis-
sion, who was kept away by illness.
Denouncc Copperheads
For three hours these men defined
the attitude of the United States in
the war denounced the copperheads
and traitors who in the name of
labor are hampering the country at
war, and declared the defeat of Ger
many the only safeguard for the in
terests of labor.
Mr.. Russell, fresh from his mis-
sion to the newest of democracies.
declared that only America can save
Russia from the danger of German
domination.
I'VE will stand by Russian democ-
acy to the end" he shouted as he
finished the description of the new
freedom in darkest Russia" "You
workers of America must stand by
Russia. Say it so firmly that the
voice of treason in your land will be
hushed and every pacifist and traitor
terrified"
Plots to Aid Germany
And then he warned the workers
of the sinister influences that are
working on behalf or Germany in
this country and in Russia to take
llOLl idbOl ali lutl II mas won III the
two great democracies. The duties
of labor in this country, he said,
were these:
Crush out every sign of disunion.
Give such declaration of loyalty
that no one can misrepresent labor.
do not tolerate any man who says
the interests of labor are not bound
up in this war. More than any other
class, labor's interests are at stake in
this war"
And then he turned on the copper
heads.
"They hiss at us to tell them why
we are at war. Here is the answer:
I'VE make war that we may have
peace. that war shall not come again.
We make war for the children yet to
be. for nations unborn, to preserve
forever the lessons of liberty. We
make war that there shall be no
more oppression. no more kings, no
more war on this earth. That is the
answer to the hiss of the copper
heads"

THIRD ATTEMPT
MADE TO PLACE
BRIDGE SPAN
Eighty-four Men Have Died
in Two Unsuccessful
Attempts
By Associated PreSs

Quebec. Sept. IA third attempt
to place in position the central span
of the Quebec cantilever bridge is
being made to-day.
Weather conditions being favor
able, the span resting on pontoons
upon which it was constructed, was
towed into position and hosting
chains attached to eight six-ton Jacks
ready to begin the lift of $50 feet.
At attempt made last September
to place the span in position failed,
the span falling into the river, re-
sulting in fourteen men losing their
lives. Prior to that an attempt ended
unsuccessfully, also with loss of life,
seventy persons dying. That was in
1907. The two accidents caused a
monetary loss of about $S,500,000
When the Dominion government
planned n reconstruction of the
bridge contract was awarded to the
st. Lawrence Bridge Company in
1911.
The structure when completed will
be S,239 feet from shore to shore and
will have two railroad tracks, two
street car tracks and two roadways.
1t will cut the railroad journey be-
tween Halifax and Winnipeg by a
half day. The steel used in the con-
struction weighs 1S0,000,000 pounds
and the total cost will be $11, 100000.
The central span being raised to-day
is $40 feet long, the longest bridge
span in the world.

the withdrawal late Saturday night
of James c. Thompson as candidate

friends not to support him, for the
reason that if nominated he would not

afloat that one or two other candi-

SNYDER ASKS TO
HAVE MANDAMUS
CASE QUASHED
McDevitt Makes Motion When
Suit Comes Up For Hear
ing in Court

Mandamus proceedings brought by
four state officials against Auditor
General Charles A. Snyder because
of his refusal to recognize their ap-
pointment on July 8 were given the
first hearing before Judges Kunkel
and McCarrell, in the Dauphin coun-
ty court this afternoon. Attorney
General Brown and Deputies Keller
and Hargest appeared for the petit
TONERS, while Mr.. Snyder, who was
in court, was represented by Gabriel
H. Meyer and Harry S. McDevitt. of
his departmental staff.
As soon as the matter was called
Mr.. McDevitt made a motion to
quash the proceedings, holding that
in the cases the petitioners were per-
sons who would be benefited; but
it was not sought to have any public
duty performed and that the Com
monwealth could not be a party as
set forth in the petition; that the
petitioners have an adequate remedy
at law and that the writ is prema-
turely brought.
The proceeding, said Mr.. McDe-
WITT is really brought to control an
action of the Auditor General: not
Tor the benefit of the State of Penn
sylvania, but for certain men. He
contended that there was no war
rant for the use of the name of the
commonwealth or the bringing of
the action by the Attorney General,
holding that the state is not affected
nor any of the public interests jeo-
pardized. Mr.. McDevitt used the
case brought by Commissioner of
Banking Lafean as an illustration
and said there was no reason for eX-
traordinary action such as manda-
mus.
Gives Reasons
Abundant means for satisfaction at
law are at hand without resorting to
mandamus, argued Mr.. Snyder's
counsel, who said issuing of man
damus would destroy the discretion
airy power of the Auditor General and
work mischief. The Auditor General
who is elected by the people of Penn
sylvania, has the right to administer
his office without submitting to the
demands of the appointive and nom
elective class of state officials. To
avoid mandamus in such a case as
that presented to-day. he said, would
strip the Auditor General of powers
conferred by the organic law of the
state. The petitioners should have
begpn the suit in their own names,
not that of the state, said Mr.. Nc
Dewitt, in conclusion.

officials

CHEAPER COAL
PROMISED BY
DIR. GARFIELD
Reduction to Public Promised
and Dealers Are to
Be Curbed

Washington, Sept. 17.-Repeating
his declaration that there will be a
reduction of coal prices to consumers
on October l, when the margin of
profits which retailers will be al
lowed to charge will be fixed by an
order from the President, Doctor
Garfield, the coal administrator, dis
cuSSed the coal situation and the
plans he has formulated for dealing
with il.
Two facts stand out with some
what startling prominence. One is
that there is the possibility of a
coal shortage when all the needs of
this and other nations are taken into
consideration.
The other is that concerns that
have already contracted for their
coal supplies may be at a disad-
vantage when the cheaper coal. TO
be furnished under government reg
ulation, is placed at the disposal of
their business competitors.
The reduction in coal prices is
promised the users of both anthra-
cite and bituminous coal. but is
likely to be greater in the case of
bituminous.
In all cases, Doctor Garfield's ad-
icky, to buy what fuel is needed for
immediate use, but not to try to
stock up for the winter.
Coal prices are to be regulated
and made more reasonable, and the
retailers who are now seeking to
gouge the public will be told just
what prices they can charge and will
be held to these prices by a licensing
system. Violations of the regula-
tions stated in the licenses will ter
inmate the business existence of any
coal dealers, and his business will be
taken over by the government and
will be administered by some other
dealer who has complied with the
regulations

WAR LIBRARY
PLAN ANNOUNCED

An official announcement outlining
Just what is planned by the move
ment to provide libraries for the
camps and cantonments of the SOL
diers has been issued by Arthur p.
Bostwick, chairman of the publicity
committee of the American Library
Association. and received here. Har-
risburg is one of the centers for gath
lnrlng the cash and books and was
the flrst State district to send books
10 the Pennsylvania troops at
Augusta.
Mr.. Bostwick says:
The librarians of the country
nave placed themselves in line with
other bodies of professional men who
are putting their expert knowledge
ana experience at the disposal of
their. country. A committee on war
service for libraries was appointed
by the American Library Association
at It's recent annual meeting at Lou
lsVllle, KY. This committee is about
TO launch campaign to raise half
million dollars for the service in
which it is interested. One of its i'm
mediate aims is to provide well
equipped and properly administered
public library buildings for each one
of the sixteen cantonments of the
'0tiOhdi <hHiSt SOOH 10 De formed.
1t has been recognized by the COM
mission on camp activities, a govern
ment body, as the principal agency
through which books are to be dis
trlbuted to the soldiers. Other dis
trlbuting agencies located in the
buildings of the Y. NJ. c. A.. the
knights of Columbus, the Red Cross.
and possibly others, will be related
to the main building of the camp
somewhat as deposit stations in
schools and industrial houses are re-
lated to the central public library of
a city. 1t Is expected that these main
libraries will be in charge of thor
oughly trained, competent librarians.
The assistants will be gathered from
the most convenient sources; some
Will doubtless be enlisted men with
library experience, who will be as
signed to the work; others will be
volunteers from the library field. of
whose services the committee already
has gratifying number of offers,
and others will be salaried helpers.
The library buildings will be of
wood, but a single story in height,
containing one large open-shelf room
surrounded by books, together with
smaller reference and study rooms,
workrooms for the staff and possibly
living quarters.
The assumption of this work by
the national association of trained
professional librarians insures that
1t will be done thoroughly and sys-
tematically, and not in haphazard.

of enthusiastic, but ill-instructed
