Two Hundred Expected to 1e

Labor leAders began to arrive here
today to attend the. conference cali
Cd by President Samuel Gompers Of
the American Federation OF Labor.
More than 200 presidents and SEC
retaries of international unions will
be in their seats tomorrow at 10
a. m. when the conference is called
to order. Practically every big union
in the country will be represented, il
is intended.
Rail Clerks t. Attend.
Several farm organizations have ac-
cepted Gompers' Invitation to send
representatives. Heads of the four
big rail brotherhoods also will at
tend.
Anti-strike legislation in several
bills now before Congress will be dis
cussed and plans made to fight them,
according to Gompers.
Proposals for organization OF a Ia
Dor political party are likely to be
made.
my members are writing many
letters suggesting the formation OF q
labor political party" said President
w. G. Lee, Of the brotherhood Of Rail-
way Trainmen. THE idea seems to
i
parts OF the country. I can't say, how
ever, that shall introduce the pro-
posal at the meeting"
Unlikely, Says Well.
tits very unlikely that the meeting
Will make any plans to form q labor
party" said Matthew woll, vice presi-
dent Of the A. f. Of l., and chairman
or committee named by Gompers to
prepare a program for the meeting.
Labor leaders say the industrial sit
uatlon is now more composed than il
has been for six months, but they
fear the present calm is preliminary
to general storm OF difficulties in
industrial relations. Use OF the in
junction by the Government in the
coal strike rankles in the minds of
laboring men. Capital, leaders be-
heve, still is planning a general at
tack to destroy organized labor. It
is TO meet this issue that the meeting
was called.
To Explain Attitude.
One result of the meeting probably
will be the issuance" said Vice Presi-
dent Woll, ''of a statement to the pub
lie setting forth the attitude of or
ganized labor in the present indus
trial situation"
II also is possible Ietter may be
addressed to President Wilson by the
conferees, although this has not yet
been proposed to the program COM,
mittee.
This conference, an emergency
meeting called following the breakup
Of the national industrial conference,
is the third Of the kind organized
labor has held. The first was in 1sol
and the second in 1917, Just after the
United States plunged into the world
war.

Barking Dog Leads Hunter to
Body Of Italian at
Bowens, Md.
MADMAR SOUGHT BY POLICE
! Victim Believed to Have Laid
In Isolated Spot for
Two Weeks.

With seventeen knife wounds, the
body of a man about twenty-five
years old. believed to be an Italian,
was found early today in a clump of
woods on the farm of Warner Slut
ler, at Bowens, Prince Georges
county.
The body was discovered by Henry
Scott, colored, who was attracted ty
the barking of his dog. Scott was
hunting in the woods and hurried TO
the spot.
Stabhed With Knife
Physicians near the scene of the
crime, who examined the body, said
that the man had been stabbed, ap-
parently with keen-edged blade,
either that of knife OF stilleto,
fourteen times - the front of the
body and three tres in the back.
Headquarters { sectives believe the
victim was atts ked by an insane
man. 1t was dec red that after rem
dered unconscioLs from one of the
many stab wounds, the victim was
jabbed and jabbed by the slayer to
n1Ae sure Ot H1S QedtH
1t is believed that the man lay dead
for two weeks. His body was badly
decomposed from the weather and his
clothing indicated he was prosperous.
Nothing in the pockets OF the muir
dered man indicated his identity.
The stretch of woods where the
body was found is about 300 yards
off Of Bennlngs road. 1t Is an iso-
lated spot, and had 1t not been Tor
Scott hunting for rabbits in the vicin-
ity, the body would probably have
lain there for weeks longer.
Detectives are trying to identify the
Italian through a gold signet ring, on
which were engraved the initials
az p" There also were laundry
marks on his underclothing, bearing
the word. Frank" and the letters
ID. c." The letters ID. c." also were
found on the sweatband of a black
slouch hat found near the spot.
At the District morgue 1t was
found that the Italians throat had
been cut from ear to ear. Detectives
Joseph Morgan and Hartman, of the
Central office, said they believed the
italian had been murdered and then
dragged into the clump OF woods.
They base this opinion on the fact
that his overcoat of mixed gray color
was under his neck. The police be-
lieve he was seized by the feet and
dragged to the spot where he was
found.
The man wore a blue serge suit of
clothing. black shoes and a silk shirt
with green stripes.
Advance Robbery Theory.
Police advanced the theory this
morning that the Italian had been ed
to the scene Of the crime by a party
OF thieves in an automobile. II is
stated that IL is not infreqquent for
Washingtonians to visit the vicinity
of the wooded section on automobile
parties 1t was suggested that the
Italian had been lured to the spot.
An Important clue which the de-
tectives are working on is said to
advance robbery as a motive for the
crime. Two pockets OF the clothing
OF the Italian had been -ifed, it was
indicated. BY the fact that they were
turned inside out.
