is BAGPIPE'S SKIRL
TUNE OR TORTURE?
Justice to Ponder, Then Say
Whether PibrOch May Echo
in Scots Club.

An anxious and expecthnr public will
be forced to walt several days at least
before the weighty question of whether
the skirt of bagpipes in the hands of an
experienced Highland Scotch piper Is
real music or Just noise.
Justice Whitaker. whose judicial deci-
sion is expected to settle a question of
the ages, heard arguments In Supreme
Court yesterday on the application Of a
temporary injunction brought by the POI
West Fifty-fourth Street Company. a
realty corporation, against the New
York Caledonion Club, for the suppression
of alleged unnecessary noises in the
clubs quarters at s46 Seventh avenue.
He confessed himself to be in a guam
dairy as result OF the vehement up
holding OF bagpipes as musical instru-
ments by counsel for the Caledonian
club and the equally vehement denun-
citation of them by the opposing counsel.
The court finally reserved decision.
1t was charged in affidavts OF people
living in the immediate vicinity OF the
club that their sleep was disturbed al
most nightly by noise incidental to the
gathering Of the clans. This noise more
specifically, was due to wailing bagpipes,
limitations of Harry Lauder. dancing.

carnations during the entire proceedings.

as sounding like ''Hoot, mon"
During the arguments before the court

coupled with the fact that they wore
kits, he said, caused the Germans to
call them ''The Ladies from He'll"
Opposing counsel admitted all this
He said this was exactly his own argu-
ment as he did not blame anyone for
fighting when forced to listen to bag
ppes-this was the precise position OF
his clients, he asserted. He said he was
not In a position to substantiate the
correctness of the German allegation as
to where the Scotch warriors came from
but. assuming the Germans were right.
why didn't the Highlanders leave the
bagppes where they (the bagppes)
rightfully belong?

gress, members of the different clans

Until Justice Whitaker renders his
decision the Caledonian Club members

of welcome to the many Americans Of
Scottish birth who have been serving
with the Allied armies abroad.

DENIES FRAUD PLOT
Witness Swears Foreman Had
Said He'd "Get' Frank
1. Sears.

BosToN. May Frank I. Sears. vice.
president and general manager OF the
A. ]. Bates Company of Webster, at his
trial in the Federal court to-day denied
charges that he had conspired to defraud
the Government and had given brides to
Government inspectors while he had
charge OF a Government order for Ill.,
900 pairs of army shoes The defence
is expected to complete It's case to-
morrow.
Sears said that the Government re-
ceived all the shoes contracted for. Gross
reflections. he said, amounted TO 81 per
cent. and these were replaced.
Questioned by his counsel regarding
testimony that he had authorized pay
ment of money to two Government in
spectors at the Bates factory he said
the money was not given as a bride but
as an inducement for the inspectors to
remain in Webster instead of accepting
transfers which would have brought
them additional money.
He said he gave orders to have the
practice of Sitting middle soles stopped
when II was reported to him. He denied
the testimony OF Thomas Sherwood.
foreman of the sole leather room. that
he had told Sherwood that the only way
money could be made on the Government
contract would be by "skinning'' on
leather.
Several character witnesses were put
on the stand by the defence, including
Arthur G. Lawrence, a Boston leather
merchant; Jesse s. Prescott OF Webster,
Spaulding Bartlett of Webster. Clarence
NJ Nash of Webster, Thomas Hederman,
Webster postmaster: James L. McCabe.
Boston leather salesman, and John 8.
Kena- a Brockton manufacturer.
Elliott Barter of Webster, who testi-
fed for the defence, said that he once
met Sherwood and Chester F. Tirrell on
n street car and that Sherwood said to
him: you watch and wait I'll get
Sears. and when 1 do he'll remember It
to his dying day
Barter did not think Tirrell heard the
remark. On the witness stand yesterday
Tirrell said he did not recall It
William J. Barry. foreman in the In
spection ROOM testified that Sears told
him to scrutnize everysAing. Following
instructions Barry sent back twenty-five
pairs out of every hundred dozen, he
said

gard to the number Of shoes rejected

why did he want more rejections?"
Because he wanted the factory to

wanted to have all the rejecting done be-

Chicago, Oct. 22.-The presence of
federal troops in Gary guarantees the
constitutional right of free speech and
assembly and is welcomed by the lead
ers of the steel strike, according to
John Fitzpatrick, chairman of the or
ganiZati0n committee, who left for
Washington TO confer with President
Samuel GOmpers of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor.
''We are well pleased with the con-
duct of the federal troops in Gary"
said Mr.. Fitzpatrick. 1T guarantees
US the right of free speech and protects
the striking workmen from brutality
such as that employed by the Pennsyl-
vania state constabulary and hired
guards"
Mr.. Fitzpatrick said that the pres
ence of the troops had relieved the
tension in Gary and said that the gov
ernment has been asked to send troops
into other strike centers. He declared
that the 'red" propaganda in Gary
had been manufactured by the pub
licity committee of the steel companies
for the purpose of bringing discredit
upon the striking workmen.
Switchmen employed on the Chicago,
West Pullman 4 Southern railroad, a
line that supplies the Wisconsin Steel

have struck in sympathy with the steel
workers.

Collective Bargaining Also Beaten at
the Industrial Conference
Slate Is Clean.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Recognition
Of the right Of workers to bargain col
lectively was swept aside by the ma
tional industrial conference in defeat
ing first proposal by the employers,
next a substitute declaration by the
conferences general committee, and
third, the original proposal of the gen
eral committee.
The proposal from the labor group
to arbitrate the steel strike was next
disposed of, both the employers and
the public 9 representatives voting
against it.
The conference slate was thus swept
clean and the body brought back to
the point where it was when the ses-
sions began, October 6.
The first real test of strength came
when the collective bargaining reso-
luton, sponsored by the employers
group, was voted down, the labor and
public groups opposing it and the en-
ployers' representative standing firm
ly behind it.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, in cast
ing his groups vote of mo" said the
vote. represented the unanimous opin-
ion of his conferees.
Bernard NJ. Baruch made the same
statement for the public group, but

the employers group, said it repre-
scented the opinion of merely major
ity of the capital wing.

ASSERTS UNIONSTRUETOU.S
Declares Government of the United
States Is SolidIy Anchored in the

can, in Answer to Loree.

Washington, Oct. 20.-Sa1Iuel Com
pers, weak from several days of i'll
ness, took the floor at the national in
dustrial conference to bitterly assail
an inSinuatiOn that the wOrkingmen of
the United States planned an attempt
TO overthrow the government.
Mr.. Gompers was moved TO what
was called the most eloquent speech
of the conference by the remarks of
l.. f. LOree, who, speaking from the
viewpoint of the employers, referred
TO what he said were attempts of boil
shevism to gain a foOthOld in the Uni
ted States through labor.
He added that there is an element
that believes that because It was easy
to tear down the established govern
ment in Russia it will be easy TO destroy
the government of the United States.
THAT is not true" he asserted. ia
Russia the government was conferred
in one car and his ministers, but the
government of the United States is
solidly anchored in the heart of every
true American"
When Loree, who is president of the
Delaware & Hudson railroad, said
that labor took advantage of the most
critical period of the recent war to
force important concessions from the
war labor board. Mr. Gompers rose to
his feet
Speaking in a weak voice the feder-
alton president recalled the confer
ence of 1876 labor leaders on March u,
1917, at which labor pledged itself,
three weeks before President Wilson
asked for a declaration of war, to
back the government to the limit, come
what might.
"And American labor made good Its
pledge" he added hoarsely.
Plainly drawing on his reserve or
strength-lessened by several days of
illness-the veteran labor leader re
ferred with scorn to Mr.. Loree's in
situations that labor had enjoyed I'M
due benefits from the war.
"Ah, we should go TO the great cor
pOrationS, to the board of directors to
find the philanthropists of our time"
he exclaimed sarcastically. "Perish
the thought!'
Asserting that whether you like it
or not, the masses of labor of the Uni
ted States have at last found their
ability to articulate through organiza-
tion," Mr.. GOmpers told the delegates
that the laboring people are producing
the wealth of the world and that, with
out minimizing the great contributions
made by men of thought and direction
to that production, the time had come
when in America labor was determined
to gain a fair share of the rewards.
