posal for arbitration of the steel strike
be made an immediate issue in the ma
tional industrial conference was made by
the capital group, through its chairman.
Harry A. Wheeler Bernard NJ. Ba-
ruch, chairman of the public group. had
proposed that action on the steel reso.
luton be postponed until Thursday
Postponement of action of the resolu-
ton probably had been agreed to by
the labor and public groups, and the
opposition Of the employers came as a
surprise. Samuel Gompers, chairman
of the labor group, who conducted Wig
orous fight yesterday against sending
the arbitration resolution back to the
committee of IS, was detained by i'll
ness, He was represented by Frank
Morrison, secretary of the American
Federation of Labor.
Collective bargaining occupied much
attention in the group gatherings today.
While this proposition has not yet been
brought before the conference. members
of all groups said it probably would be
the greatest single issue. The labor
delegates regard it as even more i'm.
portant than the steel strike resolution.

GOMPERS IS STRICKEN

tion. His temperature this morning
was 1O1 degrees and his physician has
ordered him to remain in bed.
Announcement of Mr.. Gompers'
breakdown was made by his secretary
when the national Industrial confer
ence convened today. He issued the
following statement:
Mr. Gompers returned home from
the Industrial conference last evening
greatly exhausted and went immedi-
ately to bed. His physician, Dr. Henry
Parker found Mr.. Gompers in state
of nervous exhaustion with a temper
ature of l0l. The doctor said that it
would be absolutely necessary for Mr..

The veteran labor leader was strck.
en- when he reached his home last
night after delivering an attack in the
industrial conference on the United
steel CORPORATION for its refusal to
deal with the steel strike committee,
His friends recalled that the day
was the first anniversary of the death
Of his daughter, and they said this fact
probably aggravated his condition.
Those who heard Mr.. Gompers' i'm
passioned address in the conference
yesterday realized that he was labor
ing under a tremendous nervous strain
and the announcement of his Illness
did not come as a surprise to his asso-
cates in the labor group. Frank Nor
rison, secretary Of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor. was elected chairman
Of the labor group in conference today
to act for Mr. Gompers.
Labor leaders said that if Mr. Com
pcrs' illness proved SO serious as to
make it impossible for him to dis.
charge the duties Of president of the
federation for any considerable time,
the executive council of the federation
would be called to elect u temporary
successor. 1t was said that James Dun
can. first vice president, probably
would be designated to act.
Later Mr.. Gompers sent word to
members of the labor delegation that
he would be present at the conference
tomorrow MIR. Morrison who was
elected as acting chairman of the
group, has been associated with Mr..
Gompers in the American Federation
of Labor for more than 20 years and
is known to have much the same spirit

DOZEN ARRESTS MADE
At GARY CONNECTED
WITH TERRORIST PLOT

Gary, Ind oct. 15.-Morr than a
dozen men were taken into custody
here during the night 10y military in
tclligence authorities and were to be
questioned today in connection with
the investigation into alleged radical
activities, including bomb and anti
army intelligence agents have in their
possession Il list of several hundred
alleged radicals, among whom mum
Der are believed to be leaders in the
radical movement. Military authori-
ties are said to have obtained clues re-
garding radical activities here even
before Maj.-Gen Leonard Wood, com
mander Of the central army department
declared military control after the stu
alton growing out of the steel strike
got beyond state officials.
Several men, including Anton Cor
ski who was said to be under surveil-
lance in connection with explosion of a
bomb in the Chicago postoffce in Sep
tembcr, 1913, We're questioned yester-
day and it was stated that Alexander
INanulf believed to be the maker Of
the 80 bombs sent from New York to
prominent men throughout the country,
was being sought.
That the situation in Gary is be
lieved to be under complete control of
the federal soldiers here was evidenced
by General Wood granting permission
for the first outdoor mass meeting to-
day since he assumed command here.
The meeting was to be addressed by
John Fitzpatrick. chairman of the ma
tional strike committee. Edward Mock
els, secretary Of the Chicago federation
Of labor and John Walker, former
president of the Illinois federation Of
Labor
OF the many reports that spread
through the veil of secrecy thrown
about their activities by the military
and civil authorities, after they iuau-
guaranteed raids on alleged red" head
quarters and meeting places and sur
yeillance of suspected persons, one
that a widespread plot against military
cantOuments had been discovered, was
denied officially by Col W. 5. Mapcs,
commanding troops here. That drastic
measures to combat red" plots uncov-
cred have been planned was not de-
MED, however.
Intelligence officers conducting the
raids ON places suspected in the red
plots were interested in the finding of
II quantity of radical propaganda print
ed in German and large silk German
flag.
Steel workers disavowed the proc
lamation" issued by the communist
party of America calling on the work
ing men to wrest control from the fed
eral troops and established "dicta-
torship"
Col. w. 5. Mapes, in an official re-
port made to General Wood today, is
said to have presented documentary
to contain proof of the alleged radical
leaders with the steel strike in Gary
and other cities. The report is said
to contain proof of the ALLEGED radical
plot to capture the civil government
of Gary and other cities in the steel
strike area.
The sensational evidence is said to
have been obtained by federal agents
in five raids made last night and to-
day in which u number Of arrests We're
made.

Approaching on Two Sides

London, oct l5.-With General Den
ikincs Cossack army advancing from
the south and the northwestern Rus
sian forces almost within striking dis
tancc of Petrograd, the soviet govern
ment of Russia appears to be facing
u crisis. Bolsheviki headquarters at
Petrograd We're closed last Thursday,
according to a dispatch to the Daily
Mail from Reval.
The northwestern Russian army has
apparently crashed through the boil
sheviki lines over a wide front. PskoV
has been captured and it is believed
the forces under General Yudenitch
also have taken the important town
OF Luga, about S5 miles southwest of
Petrograd.
The capture Of hamburg, Is miles
from Petrograd, was reported on Mon
day, and latest dispatches indicate the
line OF advance to be nearly l25 miles
in length,
on the south the Denikine troops
appear to have approached quite near
the town OF Tula. which is consider
ed the key to Moscow from that side.
dispatch received here says that
if Tulu falls to the Cossacks the boil
sheviki commissaries will flee into
Turkestan, taking advantage Of a gap
between the Denikine and Kolchak
forces in the VOlga valley.
Fall Of Petrograd Expected
Stockholm. Tuesday. oct. Ia The
northwestern Russian army is report
ed to have pushed some 80 miles be-
yond hamburg and to be within 20
miles Of Gatchina. which is only 80
miles southwest Of Petrograd. The
taking of 1900 prisoners and nine guns
from the bolsheviki is announced Con
fidence is expressed among the Off
GERS that Petrograd will fall before this
attack.
The Red army is blowing up the
roads everywhere while retreating.
At hamburg both officers and men
taken prisoner are declared to have
been pleased at being captured Among
the prisoners was a bolsheviki com
missary.
Bolshevk literature, the advices
state, was allowed to circulate among
the antibolshevid forces, which is
commented upon as significant of the
confidence of the officers in their men.
