SeUen Arrests Promised
By Pittsburgh Police

Special Correspondence
PITTSBURGH, June City detec-
tives, working with government Secret
Service and Department Of Justice
agents, reported to-day that they were
making progress in establishing the
identity of the men who set off bombs
near the homes Of Federal Judge H. S.
Thomson and Chief immigration In
spector W. W. Sibray last Monday
night.
Detective Captain Clyde S. Edeburn
SAID several more promising clews had
developed during the day and that at
least seven more important arrests in
the bomb case would be made within
the next twentyfour hours.
Additional detectives were assigned
to assist the bomb squad" to-day.
Twelve men in the bureau are now
working on the case in conjunction
with the government agents. The
squad is securing the Monongahcla
Valley tonight for a party of I. W. w.
agitators. Early to-day the authorities
received information that the men
were in Besscmer, Lawrence County.
The squad made a hurried trip to that
town, only to find that the suspects
had left and were reported to be in
Clarion, this county. They trailed
the men to Clarion, where all traces
were lost.
Federal agents have satisfied them
selves that the revolutionary l. W. w.
literature that has been in circulation
in this city was printed in Chicago.
The paper has been identified, the po-
lice say, as having been sold to an an
archistic firm that is suspected of hav-
ing done printing work for the terror
lists. Arrests will be made of the men
who sent this literature through the
mails, it is said.
Thus far the search for Cornelius
Shea, the radical labor leader who
was reported to have come to this city
to interview members of the l. W. W.,
has been fruitless.
Eight of the sixteen suspects ar
rested last Tuesday are still in Jail
here awaiting examination by the i'm
migration authorities. The others ar
rested, although admitting they were
members Of the I. w. w. and unnatu-
rallied, have been released.

men to return. There remain, however,
two sore spots

men to return. There remain, however,
two sore spots.
The first is the city's police. They
have from the first been in strong
sympathy with the strikers Once they
voted to 60 out, but remained at their
posts by orders-not official, but from
the strike committee. An ultimatum
from the city falls due tonight requir-
ing them to give up their utilization
with the strikers and sign an agree
ment to stick or to resign. 1t is ex-
pected that the great majority will go.
A day or two ago this would have
meant almost complete anarchy. At
that time the forces being prepared by
the Citizens Committee had not been
completely organized, and there was
every chance that if the strikers be-
came violent they would get out of
hand. Now nearly 1000 special police,
four times the number of the regular
force. have been recruited from re-
turned soldiers and the citizens army
and other reserve forces have reached
such strength that it is unlikely the
strikers will risk an offensive
Returned soldiers are the deciding
factor. For nearly three weeks they
were neutral, but in the last few days

the strike and Of the disloyalty of
some Of its leaders had its effect, and
about 10 per cent Of the veterans are
now definitely "loyalists" The other
fourth were greatly moved by Mayor
Gray to-day, and it is believed that
most of them can be counted on to
help preserve order in spite of their
sympathy with the strike.
The other danger spot is the posi-
billty that the railway brotherhoods
may join the strike. Their local Off
Gals became mediators between the
employers and the Metal Trades Coun-
Gil, which started the strike, with the
understanding that if the employers
rejected their findings they would call
out their own union. Partly because

The dealer who sold the felt hat has

1t has become known that workers in

Bruce Retained


Thus far the efforts of the Parents
League to nb.st Roscoe c. Bruce, as
sistant superintendent of schools in
the District, have awaited little. The
Board of Education has decided that
he is competent to hold his position.
The comittee appointed several
months ago to investigate the case re-
ported, and the Board adopted reso-
lutions approving the rport. The
resolution is as follows:
Resolved, that we concur in the
findings of the majority of the special
committe eappointed to investigate
the educational and administrative
efficiency ofiRoscpe C. Bruce that he
is competent to fill the position of
assistant superintendent of colored
schools in the District of Columbia.
The only vote against the resolu-
ton was. cast by Fountain Peyton,
colored member of the Board.
The Parents League contemplate
waging a campaign, even to carrying
the issue to Congress, to get Mr.
Bruce removed.
