 This high-handed means of ar resting everyone who has the cour- age to raise his voice in behalf of labor, is being bitterly denounced by the labor press throughout the entire state, who see in the arrest of Berger repetition of the frame up of the Billings, Weinberg and the Mooney cases.

FUEL ADMINISTRATOR
 INVESTIGATING HOMES

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb 1.-
 Not only the big manufacturers. but the small domestic consumer of coal is to be investigated.
 The census now under way, be- ing designed primarily to relieve the shortage of coal for household heating, will include domestic sup plies.
 This was learned at the United States fuel administration today where it developed that the dome stic coal situation, especially with regard to anthracite, is giving some concern to officials.
 The situation is most critical in the Northeast, notably in Philadel- phia and New York, which suffer by reason of the Pennsylvania rail roads embargo on coal movement Eastward. Supplies for these two cities have been cut down about 35 per cent by the embargo, and

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 1.- President Wilson today held a lengthy conference with a number of the leading Democratic Senators at the White House. The chief topics of discussion was the agita- tion now taking up much of the time of the present session of Con- gress, in regards to the immediate creation of supeT-cabinet, min ister of munitions and the radical reorganization of the War Depart ment. MT.

 Meanwhile, census will show just what homes have more coal than they absolutely need to last through the winter, and this coal will be communicated.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. l. Congressman Meyer London, social ist leader from New York in a speech delivered on the floor of the House today, bitterly and in no un- certain terms denounced the acton of the breaking up of the Socialist convention held in New York city. last Fall.
 London charged MT. Mitchell who at that time was Mayor, with be- ing directly responsible for the outrage and said it had been car ried out by his direct orders. He waxed roth over the treatment the socialists all over the United States in general, and in New York in par ticular are receiving at the hands of the paid thugs of plutocracy.

for undertaking to ram his narrow minded opinions of patriotism down the threats of Real Ameri- cans. MT Hillquit the Socialist candidate also boiled more votes than MT. Mitchell. and perhaps that fact is partly responsible for his love of all things socialistic.
 It looks as thought MT. London has a fixed opinion of his own as to just what constitutes a Democracy. He is the only Socialist member in the House of Representatives, but from the present indication of the future outlook, he will very likely be strongly reinforced by other members of hs own party after the forthcoming fall elections.

WASHINGTON, D G., Feb. 1.- Secretary of Labor Wilson today announces settlement at the plant Of American Locomotive Works between the company and the nen. The Government repre- sentatives ujst arrived in time to avoid a strike of the 5000 work CTS.
 Tho mell aud the company have for some time been trying to come to a satisfactory agreement, how ever all efforts had failed owing to the companies refusing to concede their sharo. The men had conceded what they considered their share and had made all preparations to strike when a hurried telegram from the Department of Labor ar rived asking that they delay action until a government representative who was then on the way arrived. The workers agreed to do this but informed the Department that they had made all possible concessions. The main contentious of the men wore for an increase in wages and the doing away with all piece work which under the present scientific speed up system is fast breaking down the health of the employees

Some ex- pressed their private opinion to the effect that they deemed the Presi- deEts warning would be sufficient as they were sure that all mem- bers of both houses certainly did not want to hinder or delay, or un- justly criticise the War Depart mont.
