ACCIDENT TO GOMPERS
Suffers Fractured Rib and Nervous
ShOck-Injuries Not of
Serious Nature

New York-Samuel Gompers, pres
ident of the American Federation of
Labor, was injured in this city last
week when a street car ran down a
taXicab in which he was riding.
The A. F. of l.. executive was
thrown a considerable distance and
it was first thought that two ribs
were broken. When taken to his hotel
and examined by physicians it was
found that one of his ribs was fract-
ured, besides being badly shaken up.
President Gompers had just left his
hotel for an hours ride to get relax
alton from the press of work which
has occupied his time since his return
from the peace conference when the
accident occurred.
The accident happened at Twenty
fourth street and Broadway.
Mr.. Gompers' physician stated
there was nothing alarming in the
patients condition and that there was
no reason for making an X-ray exa-
mination for internal injuries. He Is
slowly recovering and is considered
out of danger. However, all engage
ments for the immediate future have
been cancelled.
A steady stream of local labor men
called at Mr.. Gompers' hotel since the
accident, but none were permitted to
see him.
Mr. Gomeprs received the following
cablegram from President Wilson:
Deeply grieved to hear of your
accident. Hope everything goes we'll
with you. Warmest sympathy and
regards"

NEW OCCUPATION FOR
DISABLED SOLDIERS

A new occupation, that Of

come of the world war. This is
the belief Of the federal board
for vocational education, which
is preparing to train disabled
soldiers, formerly farm boys, for
such work. With the scarcity
Of labor on the farm, the board
looks for a more extensive use
Of farm machinery in the fu-

that every farm Of 100 acres or
more will require such a me-

Maj. Gen. Bell Dies i'm
Presbyterian Hospital
Commander of Department of
the East Succumbs to Heart
Disease; Ill Three DAYS

Major General j. Franklin Bell, COM
mander of the Department of the East,
died last night at the Presbyterian
Hospital.
His death was due to heart disease.
He was taken to the &hospital three
days ago for observation but it was
not realized that his condition was
serious and his death came as a COM
plete surprise. General Bell was sixty
three years old.
General Bell was West Pointer of
the class of 1878.
When the regular army was reorgan-
lied in 1901, Bell was made a brigadier
of regulars, jumping over 5s4 cap
tains, 277 majors, SO lieutenant colo
nels and N colorels. He was selected
in 1903 to reestablish the army schools
at Fort Leavenworth..
In April, 1906, he was named chief
OF staff of the army.
General Bell was assigned in March,
1917, to take command of the 77th Ma
tlonal Army Division at Camp Upton.
He was ordered to France in December
of that year for observation, and re-
malned abroad three months.

With Cecil
and Clemenceau, and An.
nouncement of Ground
work Is Expected Soon

PARIS, Jan. S.-Many important
questions concerning the arrangement
of the programme for the peace con-
ference, which have been in process of
solution, probably soon will be ad-
justed as result of President Will
sons return to Paris. The President
now has personal knowledge of the
views of some of the Premiers on these
subjects, and he has supplemented it
by his observations during his trip to
Italy.
The President during his trips to
England and Italy kept in close touch
with the members of the American
peace delegation in Paris, and it is evil
dent from the expressions of officials
that the settlement of various matters
will progress more rapidly from
now on.
Making Progress
The Presidents informal talk with
Colonel House Tuesday night dealt
with the attitude of Premier Clemen-
ceau and Lord Robert Cecil regarding
a league of nations The conference
gave the President fresh information
concerning their views, and to-day
Colonel House and Secretary Lansing
conferred with Lord Robert, who is the
British authority on a league of ma
tions. SO it may be regarded as GER
tain that the programme is making
progress and that in few days mat
ters will be in shape for the first steps
OF the conference.
1t fact, it is admitted the first meet
I lngs between President Wilson and
his aids and the Eentente Premiers
may occur the end OF this week. These
conferences will be informal and will
! carry forward, in a spirit cf accom-
modution,t the discussions which have
taken place during the Presidents
absence between individuals of the
various delegations and also between
various groups.
Results of Value Reached
The meetings are expected to de-
velop great Importance later, but at
present it may be said that results OF
vai,e have been reached and that the
/ ground has been cleared for the be-
/ ginning OF the actual negotiations.
The impending informal meetings
/ between President Wilson and the En-
! tcnte Premicrs will deal with subjects
Of fundamental Importance. 1t will be
] for these officials to arrange the PRO-
gramme which will govern the peace
congress itself, subject to approval
when all the delegates formally gather
The japanese delegates already here
have been participating in some phases
of the discussions between the groups
1t is assumed that they have been CON
suited in the preparation of the pro-
grammo and that they have outlined
the treatment of certain issues in
which they arc particularly Interested
1t has been agreed that the first

Wilson Rapidly utting
League Plan in Shape

A Premier at Parleys

DARIS, Jan. 8.-The Temps"
N says it is able to state that
President Wilson has officially in
formed Premier Clemenceau that
he does not desire to be considered
at the peace conference as the head
of state, but only as the Prime
Minister of his state.
The "Temps" says the United
States Constitution makes the
President not only the head of the
state, but the head of the govern
ment, and that President Wilson
will claim only the right to the
prerogatives of the last-named
position at the peace conference.
The newspaper adds that when
making known his desire to Pre-
mier Clemenceau he also informed
the Premier concerning the de-
tailed work the various American
delegates to the conference would
have assigned to them.

according to a Moscow dispatch to the

miers will be the representation to be
accorded the powers seeking partic.R@-
ton in the peace congress.
Then must come the question of a
league of nations, which is regarded
as the foundation upon which must be
erected the whole structure of per
manent peace treaty and the adjust
ment of boundaries to meet conditions
after the wsr. The next subject to
engage attention, as next in impor-
tance. is the naturalization of inter-
national waterways, having especially
in mind tae pardanelles and perhaps
the Scheldt and the Danube littoral.
Use of High Seas"
Probably next among the foremost
subjects to receive attention will be
"use OF the high seas" 1t may be
significant that this phrase now is be-
ing adopted instead of the older free
dom Of the seas but it is not yet pos
sible to ascertain in wnat the distinc-
ton is t. consist
AS the conference approaches the
stage where important formal agree
ments, which will have an important
bearing on final settlements, will be
reached, there seems to BE- excellent
authority for saying that plans for the
settlement of the most porsant gues-
tions--thc league of nations, the free
dom of the seas and disarmament-are
still very indefinite.
II NJ. Wilson has drawn up any spe-
cifc plans he has not divulged them
to anybody. and it is known that he is
closely studying various suggestions
that are advanced by others.
The best information obtainable as
to conferences SO far held with British
and Italian statesmen is that they were
very satisfactory, developing no diff
ferences as to principles involved
Vance Mccormick, chairman Of the
War Trade Board, and other American
experts are now on the way to Paris.

LONDON, Jan. s.-Several hundred
persons have been killed in the fighting
in Berlin, according to Copenhagen
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
Company, but up until 2 o'clock this
morning no details of conditions there
had been received. The government
seems at least Professionally to be mas
ter of the situation.
Early Tuesday morning the Berlin
government massed troops outside the
city. These troops are ready to enter,
it is said in the dispatch.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is re-
ported to have arrived at Berlin.
Both Chancellor Ebert and Phillip
Scheidemann, the Majority Socilist
leader, are endeavoring to persuade the
people of Berlin to stand by the pres
ent government. Addressing large
crowds before the Chanccellor's palace,
they bitterly denounced the "insane
policy and rascally behavior" of the
Spartacans and promised to meet the
danger with firm determination.
Government Is Determined
Herr Ebert said the government was
determined to maintain security, free
dom ard right, and would stand or fall
by the National Assembly, which was
the way to freedom and a happy future
for Germany.
Street fighting has been particularly

Troops Refused to Obey
According to an eyewitness, some of

governments orders to recapture the
quarters of the Wolff Bureau, the
semi-ofiicial news agency. On the
ether hand, marine division is stated
to be supporting the government.
The Spartacans refused all offers Of
the government to negotiate and were
attacking the Foreign Office, the Chan
cellor's palace and other of the min
istries on Monday, when eighteen per-
sons are reported TO have been killed.
The Spartacans, at the latest reports,
we're holding the royal stables and the
police headquarters, where Police Chief
Eichhorn, over whose tenure of Office

Harbor Strike
Ordered; Tieup
Begins To- day
Complete Paralysis of Port
Trade Is Threatened by
Marine Workers Union

New York will be in the grip of
closer embargo this morning than it
ever knew before, according to state
ments made yesterday by officers of the
Marine Workers Affiliation of the Port
Of New York. Fifteen thousand mem
bers of the affiliation will go on strike
at a. M, Thomas L. Delahunty, the
president, said.
The stri Ike vote was taken at the head
quarters of the marine affiliation. in
26 Park Place, after the National War
Labor Board, sitting in City Hall, had
issued formal statement announcing
that because OF the refusal of the
boat owners and railroad administra-
ton to submit the harbor controversy
to the Do---, and to agree to abide by
It's decision, it was unable to effect
settlement of the case, either by con-
citation or mediation.
A supplemental statement from the
labor members Of the board and Basil
M. Manly, its joint chairman, issued
handed down. declared that if strike
should be called here the burden must
rest absolutely on those employers,
priva:c and public, who have refused to
submit to any form of arbitration of
fered to them with reference to the
demands Of the men"
Crisis of Long Controversy
The strike order is the climax to a
controversy between the boat owners
and the men, who demanded higher
wages and an eight-hour day, which
has been going on since November 8.
The boat owners had consented to arbi-
tration of wages, but would not arbi-
trate the question Of an eight-hour day.
The strike, to go into effect this
morning, will paralyze completely har-
Dor activities here, according to state
ment issued by Mr. Delahunty last
night. 1t will affect tugs, lighters,
barges and ferryboats.
Every member of the affiliation re-
ceived orders from the various unions
which comprise its membership to stop
work at 6 o'clock. Day crews, who
completed work yesterday. were in
structed not to report for duty TODAY
Night men were told to proceed at the
