Spectacular Parade.

The parade which preceded the mass
meeting in Liberty Hut, at which Mr..
Gompers spoke, was spectacular, in
which red fire, flare lights and
sparklers and electric lights in many
colors gave brilliant setting to the
moving throngs. Pennsylvania avenue
was lined with men, women and chill
dren. The parade moved at o'clock,
as scheduled. from the foot Of 18th
street.
President Gompers and a party Of
distinguished guests of the NATIONAL
and international labor movements
headed the procession in big automo-
biles. followed by the Central Labor
Union. under whose auspices the tes-
timonial demonstration was given.
They were followed by more than
600 of the girl workers of the bureau
of engraving and printing, attired in
white skirts, blue waists and liberty
caps, each carrying a burning red
torch, flare light or sparkler. They
were the attraction Of the monster
procession, marching like trained SOL
diers.
Fifteen or more military bands made
the welkin ring with patriotic and popu-
lar music. It was estimated by the
managers Of the parade from figures
from the various unions in the line that
more than 10000 men and women par
ticipated in the march.
Record Demonstration.
The demonstration was pronounced

labor on any occasion in this country.
Many Of the local unions had elaborate
floats in the line, depicting members Of
their trades and crafts at work. among
them being the bricklayers. plas1erers.
carpenters, sign painters, plate print
ers, millmen, steamfitters, plumbers,

RECRUITS FOR THE NAVY
TO BE SOUGHT BY lads"
$500, 600 Expended in Newspaper
Contracts Will Tell Of
inducements.

Lieut.. Commander Q. +. Cooper.
U. 8. N, arrived in Washington today
to assist the local Navy recruiting Of
See in a national advertising campaign
to increase enlistments in the Navy.
For the first time, the Navy Depart
ment has authorized the expenditure
OF money to secure advertising space
IN newspapers. All Washington papers
are included in a contract which calls
Cor the expenditure of an appropriation
Of 100000. This sum IS being used
In this way to tell young America of
the shorter enlistment, higher pay and
happier times that go with the new
Navy"
Commander Cooper says that many
families in the south first learned
through these advertisements that
100 enlisted men are appointed to An
napolis each year. and it is his desire
further to acQuaint the general public
with the possibilities of naval career
The recruiting officers feel that a good
class of men are being reached by the
newspapers. Naval aviation has Sc
cured quite a number of young me-
chanics here. The Navy is advertis-
ing for $4,000 men between now ard

and Secretary Morrison of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, once had
been sentenced to prison. he affirmed
that he could never be forbidden to
express his conscientious judgment on
any issue concerning the rights Of
the American people.
Neither will the barking and howl
ing Of industrial interests affect me-"
he went on. This bill would reintro-
duce industrial servitude in the
United States. It could not and
would not prevent strikes. Strikes
should be avoided; so should wars.
What American regrets the revolu-
tionary war? The working people of
America have a right to stop work
when their interest impels them to
stop work. The strike is only an
aspiration for a higher and better
life"

Ovation for Mr.. Gompers.

When President Gompers arose to
address the throng he was greeted by
an ovation. Mr.. Gompers spoke in
his usual deliberate manner. without
notes and earnestly. The keynote of
his address was a fearless warning
that organized labor-the people. the
masses. would not submit to any in
dustrial autocracy such as is being
attempted. he declared. by the big in
terests. which he said have selected
the billion dollar Steel Corporation
to wage the fight.
In his opening remarks he said he
had been opposed to giving the pro-
posed strike of the steel workers the
Endorsement of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. but when he learned
from unimpeachable authority that
the big interests OF Wall street. head
ed by the United States Steel Cor
poration, had decided that now was
the opportune time to force a strike
of the steel workers, drive them into
involuntary industrial servitude and
break the backbone of organized Ia
boris efforts to improve the condition
of the 1aboring classes. he did not hes
itate to take up the challenge. The
big business interests. he said, be-
lieving that organized labor was
power. felt that the time was
opportune to administer a blow to the
national labor movement that would
crush it.

Speaking at Liberty Hut
After Big Parade He Gets
Great Ovation.
Says Foreign Language
Press Would Prejudice Or
qanized Lab0r'S Cause.

Labor's loyalty to Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. to country and to the
principles of organization. were mani
fest last night in the big parade in
honor of organized labor's chief fig
ure in the United States, and in the
meeting in Liberty Hut that followed
the street pageant.
William B. Wilson, Secretary of
Labor, for years a coal miner and
still an active member of the miners
organization. presided at the meet
ing in Liberty Hut. Introduced by
John B. Colpoys. chairman of the
committee of the Central Labor
Union that arranged the demonstra-
lions. Secretary Wilson reused his
audience to enthusiasm when he de-
clared his belief that historians of the
future, writing the story OF the world
war. would couple the names of
Americas greatest men-Woodrow
Wilson. the war president. and Sam
uel Gompers, labor's leader.

Charges Foreign Language Press.

The federation president charged
that the foreign language press had
long endeavored to prejudice the
cause of organized labor.
Such newspapers" he declared,
"are suborned and subsidized by the
financial interests. and especially by
the United States Steel Corporation.
All the aggressions which have led
to anything like disorder have been
made possible by this concern
The steel strike is not lost. as Mr..
Gary has asserted" the speaker add
ed "It will be won IL the proper sup
port is given them"
AS what he termed a second sub
ject of cotemporary interest to the
workingman, Mr.. Gompers read one
of the bills recently introduced in
Congress to prohibit strikes. Saying
that he. with the late John Mitchell

Strike Was Provoked, He Charges.

1nasmuch as the Industrial situa-
ton was passing from a war to a
peace basis. Mr.. Gompers charged the
United States Steel Corporation con-
sidered that in the midst of this tran
sition period the moment was. ripe
for showdown. The decision was
made, he added, to provoke deliber-
ately workmen to strike in order to
defeat them.
II don't believe in strikes when the
boss wants it," he asserted. 'It Is a
science to know when and when not
to strike"
Charging that the Steel Corporation
had discharged thousands of men for
no other reason than because of their
connection with organized labor, he
said the workers became apprehensive
and they could not be kept from going
out. even though the strike appeared
to be plan of the steel interests.
Yet, if they had not walked out
when they did" he continued, they
would undoubtedly have fallen. sooner
or later, under the malignant influence
of the /. w. w. and bolsheviki. so that
there was the further issue involved Of
preserving these workers in the ranks
of orderly organized labor, or of see
ing them abandoned to the disorderly
forces arising in their midst"

Erasmus Hall BOYS
Enter Swim Meet
With Confidence

The swimming team of Erasmus Hall
High School of Brooklyn (Which is cap
tanned by Clarence Ross, feels confident
of winning the point honors in the an
nual individual championship competi-
tion of the Public Schools Athletic
League, which will be held in the City
College tank this evening. Judging by
the performance of the various teams
in this city for the past season. it ap-
pears as if the Brooklyn team will win
by 4 big margin.
Entries for the title events have been
received from De Witt Clinton, Com
merce, Stuyvesant, Boys High, Manual
Training and Curtis, in addition to
Erasmus Hall. In all, more than forty
six events on the programme.
1t is almost a foregone conclusion
that number Of present records will
be smashed. 1t has been IAN unusual
incident in the dual interborough series
just ended to see the present standards
for one or more events broken by the
contesting swimmers. In this tourney,
Erasmus Hall captured the team cham
pionship by winning all of its seven
meets.
The Erasmus Hall boys bank heavily
on winning the 200-yard relay race
which carries with it an award Of eight
points. Ross appears unbeatable in the
220-yard swim, as in the qualifying
rounds on last Tuesday he covered this
distance in 239, which is more than
six seconds better than the record.

stubborn opponent to beat in the 100

Brief Bits About Baseball

Everybody who is and ever was in
baseball clogged the corridors and cafe
of the Waldorf yesterday.
One of the interesting confabs that
We're too numerous to mention took
place between Johnny Evers and old
DR.. Stahl, the pill plunger. Both
agreed that baseball needed a reinstal-
lation of pep. And then AL Munroe
Elias, the strategic statistician, butted
into the party and-well, there was
the longed-for pep.
Dick Rudolph a pitcher from The
Bronx, tried the new subway labyrinth
for the first time since New Years
Eve and played host on one of the
Waldorf lounges to several Bron&ioia
who were all excited over the project
to launch ball nine above the Harlem.
Uncle Wilbert Robinson had a nice
little chat with his former outhelder,
round tables just off the lobby. Uncle
Wilbert would make a deal with Hugo
Bezdek in minute to get his old gar
dener back if Charles H. Ebbets, Esq,
gave the proper nod.
George Wiltse sat practically un-
noticed and alone in big chair di-
rectly in the path of the heaviest traf-
fic. And yet it is only few years
back that "Hooks" had all New York
fandom barking at his heels. Fame
is feeting, and George fed early.
Tyrus Raymond Cobb wired yester-
day that he was on his way from Au-
gusta, Ca, for conference with Pres
ident Navin and Manager Jennings of
the Tigers. Hughie Jennings last night
expressed confidence that he would be
able to interest the Georgian Peach at
ter a short talk.
Certainly the Detroit club has no
idea of parting with the most sensa-
tional baseball player of history. The
team is prepared to pay Cobb as liber-
ally as could be expected. Ty has no
fault with his present berth, but the
contract under which he was working
has expired, and Ty is no boob of a
business man.
Miller Higgins. on his way East,
stopped over at Trappe. Nd, to have q
chat with j. Franklin Baker, the home
run SWaJter. ne 0WclalS OF the 1an-
KEGS had not heard from the midget
manager at late hour last night, but
were very hopeful that the famed slug
ger would be back at his old third base
stand.
Russell L. Gardner, a multi-million-
aire of ST. Louis, admitted yesterday
that he was prepared to bid for the st.
Louis Cardinals, which will be sold at
auction within few days. 1t was re-
ported that James G. McGill, owner II
the Indianapolis club of the American
Association, would be a partner of Mr..
I Gardner in the prospective purchase of
this major league property. Mr. McGill
declared last night that such was not
the case. He is quite satisfied with
the indianapolis venture. Gardner, if
he buys, will go it alone.

Fred Dawson effected these changes
by shifting Captain Farrell from guard

Horowitz at centre and Kiendl per-
forming in the vacant guard position.
Although no official count was kept
this combination, with lyman and
Weinstein in their old positions at
