WOULD BOOST GAS PRICE
Fight in Danville Over Municipal
Commodity Rates

Danville, Va, Nov. 10.-The open
ing gun has been fired here in the
fight for an increase in the cost of
gas and electric light, two commodl-
ties manufactured by municipality
owned plants, and the only two items
of household expense which haze not
gone up IN price in five years. One
faction in the City Council claims
that in the electric light department
there has been a deficit for the last
two wears. The other claims that the
figures have been misrepresented:
Gas in Danville costs 81 per l,OOo
cubic feet. Electric light costs domes-
tic users eight cents a kilowatt. Com
mercial users get six-cent rate after
the first 800 kilowatts. Frank Tai
bot, superintendent Of public works
is opposing the. increase on the ground
that it is not necessary.

Defective Flue Thought to
Have Been Responsible
For Blaze
THREE IN ROW ESCAPE
Occupants Driven Into Streets-Save
Most of Their Effects-Loss Cover
ed by Insurance.

Fire at II o'clock yesterday morn
ine badly damaged ten two-story
frame tenant houses on the west side
{. of Alfred between Wolfe and Wilkes
streets, occupied by colored tenants
The damaged houses were numbered
401 to 419 South, Alfred street in
elusive.
The fire originated in house 4O5
coupled by Sarah Brown, and soon
spread to the two adjoining houses,
403 and 401 on the north and houses
407 to 419 on the south side. a total
of thirteen houses are in the row and
three at the south end escaped.
There is no fire wall between the
houses and the fire worked its way
under the metallic roofs and the
houses not damaged by the fire were
flooded with water, rendering all ten
uninhabitable.
Occupants of the houses assisted by
neighbors and others quickly moved
most of their effects into the streets
and most of the families had to seek
temporary quarters elsewhere. a
defective flue is thought to have
caused the blaze according to occu-
pants cf the house where the fire
originated.
In addition to Sarah Brown,
other occupants of the damaged
houses included Frances Swan, Mar
tina Davis, Bud Brown, William
Washington, Emma Pye, Marie Cross,
Lucy Jackson, Ellis Holland, Dalilah

INDUSTRIAL WAR
IS PROCLAIMED
Americans Federation of La
Dor Backs Miners in
Their Strike
SUPPORT IS PLEDGED
Action of Judge Anderson Declared by
Organization Subversive of Ameri-
can Liberty and Unjustified.

Industrial war was declared last
night by>the American Federation of
Labor.
After an all-day conference the Ex-
ecutive Council cf the Federation is
sued endorsement of the miners strike
and pledged it the full support of the
organization.
1t assaled the use of the injunction
as obtained by the Government in the
Indianapolis Federal Court, of Judge
a. B. Anderson. declared it subversive
of American liberty and wholly un-
justified.
The action of the Federation COM
pletes the break between that or
ganization and the present admins
tration of the Government, and is
looked upon as contemplating
long drawn out strike between the
miners and the Government.
The part which the Federation of
Labor will take in the struggle has
been undetermined except as indicated
by its pledge Of moral and financial
support.
Action by the Federation indicates
that Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation. with his
back to the wall, has decided to go
with the current in organized labor
and has failed to resist the radical e!e-
ment within it.
The injunction against strikers was
declared IN the statement to be un-
warranted ana without a parallel in
history. The miners strike Is justi-
fled. the American Federation of La
Dor affirms, and the interference of
the government in the dispute be-
tween the mine workers and opera
tors was characterized as Gan n
Justice which not only the wcrkers,
but al! liberty loving Americans
will repudiatc and demand redress.
The statement came late last night
after the Executive Council of the
Federation of Labor had assembled on
the hastv summons Of President Com
pcrS to pass upon the indianapolis
Injunction.
