RECONSTRUCTION WORK

Washington, Jan. 4-Discussing re-
construction problems before the Senate
Committee on Education and Labor to-
day. Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation OF Labor. said tho
people OF the United States would not
countenance change to industrial
stagnation after the war, Ife said he
had discussed with many men Of affairs
since the signing OF the arnistice the
question Of industrial stagnation and
they took issue with the assertion made
in some quarters that hours OF labor
must be increased and that wages must
come down.
There can be no repetition in the
United States OF the same conditions
that prevailed IN 1873 and 1894, when
mon and women were hungry for the
want of employment he added
The problem to be met AT this time,
he said Is as great as the problem Of
winning the war.
Nj. Gompers told the committee he
would sail on next Wednesday for Eu-
rope to be on hand at the Peace Confer
oncc. He paid high tribute TO the serv-
ice OF workingmen throughout the COun-
try during the war. and said the same
could be said OF employers. In virtually
All Instances, he said, both sides We're
equally loyal in making sacrifices TO win
the war
Mr.. Gompprs said he understood that
the British Government had under con-
slderation a plan TO make allowances
To soldiers between the time of their
demobilization and their reception into

vising Philadelphia's charter

BOMB PLOTTERS |
STILLATLARGE
Police Blame Radicals and
Terrorists Imported From
New York
MOORE GIVES INTERVIEW
Suspect Calls I. W. W. Too
Tame for Him - They
Loaded War Supplies

Although five days have passed since
'terrofists" bombed the homes of As
sistant Superintendent Mills, of the
Police Department; Ernest r. Trigg.
president Of the Chamber Of Commerce.
and Justice Won Moschzisker, the police
are no nearer a solution of the bomb
outrages than they were on Monday
night
They have fairly definite idea that
the bomb outrages in this city were
executed by radicals in the l. w. w. and
that "terrorists" from New York were
imported to do the work.
That clue represents the work of the
detective force to date.
So far as knowing the identity Of
men who might have been implicated,
the police are compelled to resort to a
long list of so-called undesirables and
questionable characters that was pre-
pared by Government agents and private
detectives in shipyards and munitions
plants.
Three hours after Edward Moore,
avowed anarchist, had been freed yes-
terday by the police Of any suspicion
OF participation or knowledge of the re-
cent bomb plot he stood in front of his
brothers home at s633 North Water
street and told story Of the alleged
scope of !. W. w. influence here during
the war Moore said that every stick
OF dynamite. every pound Of powder and
every shell that went overseas from this
port and the navy yard was loaded on
the vessels by longshoremen who were
members of the I. w. ".
81 don't know that the Government
had any agreement" he said, with the
I. W. w, but the officials must have
known that the longshoremen were con-
nected with the organization. There
wasn't a longshoreman employed at
League Island who didn't hold a card
In the J. w. W.. and the whole situation
here was under the control of Local
No. 8. which meets at Second and
Catharine streets"
Moore did not make this statement,
he said, to plead for consideration for
the I, w. W. because Of the loyalty OF
its longshoremen during the war. He
wasn't interested in that matter at all.
he plainly suggested, but rather he told
that to show why he could have no
dealings with such an organization. His
whole attitude was that the organiza-
ton was too tame for him and that
that was the reason why he quit the
f. W. w. some years ago.
I'm a Bolshevlst," proclaimed Moore
proudly, "and I stand with Lenine. Or
rather he stands with me, and We both
stand with Marx. I'm no I. W. W., but
an ultra-radical in that am working
every minute for the overthrow Of cap-
talism"

CAR-LINE REMOVAL
BACKED BY LENNON
Select Council President Sup.
ports Mitten at Hearing in
Passyunk Avenue Case

Elimination Of the Passyunk avenue
car line will improve the service in the
southern section of Philadelphia.
This was the substance of the testi-
mony given by Thomas T.. Mitten, presi-
dent of the Rapid Transit Company, at
hearing before Public Service Com
missioner Ryan OF the complaint of the
Passyunk Avenue Business Mems As
socation against the company's pro-
posal to remove the car line from Pass
yunk avenue
After hearing the testimony of Mr..
Mitten, James Il. Lennon, president of
Select Council, and several others,
Commissioner Ryan said a decision in
the case would be given later.
Removal of the cars used on Passyunk
avenue to Snyder avenue would give ad-
ditional service where the big industries
are located. Mr.. Mitten asserted, and
said it would permit the running of
cars at more frequent intervals.
The complaints, he declared, were not
from the riding public but from persons
who conducted stores along Passyunk
avenue and feared loss of business.
He promised that on all north and
south lines transfers would be granted at
Snyder avenue.
caustlc critic of the company, showed by
his testimony that he had suddenly be-
come one Of its strongest champions
When asked for an opinion on the con-
troversy. he said:
In my opinion, TO give better seryice
on Snyder avenue and generous transfers
would improve the service in South Phil
adelphia. l can see no reason why the
tracks should not be removed from, Pas
syunk avenue"
Mr.. Lennon was then reminded by Ed
ward b. Martin, counsel for the associa-
ton, that he had for years been an op.
ponent OF the company's methods. He
admitted he had been strenuous ad-
vocate of better service and had opposed
the granting of the companys lease.
why have you changed your opin-
ion?' Martin asked.
"A man has a right to change his
mind was Mr. Lemons reply,
James NJ McDonnnell, president of
the Point Breeze Workmens Associa-
ton, said the change proposed by the
company would prove a great advantage
to the $500 workmen employed at Point
Breeze. He admitted that his organiza.
ton had only been In existence sixty
days.
He denied, on being questioned by Mr.
Martin, that the organization was
formed especially 10 approve the change
made by the transit company.
Edwin II. Cox. who Is connected with
the Atlantic Refining Company, also as
serted that 1t would be an advantage Ia
run all the cars on Snyder avenue.
