HOUSE UNSEATS
FITZGERALD and
VOTES IN TACUE
Decision in Boston Election
Contest Rebuke to Bossism
Ballots. Of Three Pre-
cincts Thrown Out.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Without 4
record vote the house late today un-
seated Representative John F. Fitz-
gerald of Massachusetts,, former
mayor of Boston, and seated former
Representative Peter F. Tague.
Both Fitzgerald and Tague are
democrats.
Before seating Mr.. Tague, the
house refused, by vote of 167 to
46, to order new election, a pro-
posal offered by Representative
Luce, republican, Massachusetts,
and endorsed by Mr.. Fitzgerald.
Previous to this vote, Representa-
tive Overstreet, democrat, Georgia,
had withdrawn his motion to de-
clare Mr.. Fitzgerald entitled to re-
tain his seat.
Three Precincts Thrown Out.
By its final action the house ac-
cepted the report of a majority of
its elections committee, headed by
Representative Goodall, republican,
Maine, which threw out the vote in
three precincts of the Fifth ward of
Boston, with the result that Mr..
Tague was held to have received 4
plurality of the votes in the election
last November.
In urging the adoption of this re-
port, Mr.. Gooda1l asserted that for
the house to sustain the committee
would have the effect of serving
notice on political bosses that they
could not override congress by
."i1legal actions" at an election. Mar
tin Lomasney Of Boston was named
by Mr.. Goodall as the political
boss" whose support gave the cleo
ton to Mr.. Fitzgerald. Other
representatives also attacked Mr..
Lomasney, who, in turn, was de-
Tended by others as citizen and
constructive statesman.

WILSON'S PLEA
KEEPS MINERS
FROM BREAKING
Operators and Workers in
Deadlock When Labor Sec
retary's Intervention
Saves Day.

Washington, Oct. IA dramatic
appeal BY Secretary Of Labor Viii
son, himself a miner, prevented an
open break tonight between miners
and operators almost ready to 60
home, after failing to settle the
strike of 100000 soft coal miners
set for 10 days hence.
1t was near the end of a long and
heated session, at which the miners
formally rejected one plan of settle
ment and refused to arbitrate wages,
that the secretary, taking hold of a
slender. thread brought the two
sides together and kept them here
for another conference tomorrow.
As members of the two groups,
weary after three days of argument
and wrangling, left the meeting
place, they refused to hazard an
opinion as to whether the strike
could be averted. In some quarters,
however, there was = more hopeful
view than heretofore.
Wilson Encouraged.
Secretary Wilson, a bit hoarse
after long pleading with the fac
tions for consideration of the pub
lies rights, actually seemed cheer
full. Much of this feeling was due
tc the fact that he had persuaded
the warning factions to make an
other attempt to restore peace at
the very moment they were ready
to quit.
"The miners rejected and the op-
orators neither rejected nor accept
ed my first proposal for settlement
of their troubles" Secretary Wilson
said tonight. "They now have be-
fore them for consideration prop
osition submitted by me that they
go into conference with each other,
without reservation as if no de-
mands had been made or refused,
having in mind the interests Of their
respective groups.
Want Strike Order Withdrawn.
"The miners are willing to do
that and the operators are willing
provided the strike order is with
drawn"
John L. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers of America,
leading from the conference room
a group of his men, said:
"The strike order stands"
Thomas L. Brewster, head of the
coal operators association, leaving
the meeting with a party of his as.
,sociates, stopped long enough to
say:
''We are just where we started"
But out of the mass Of conflicting
claims there seemed better chance
tonight that Secretary Wilson might
be able to bring the miners and
operators together.
