PARTY IN JANUARY

Consider Project in
Convention
ADVICE BY U. S. OFFICIAL

Harrisburg. May 16.-Formation of
considered at convention to be held
next January under the auspices of the
State Federation of Labor, it was de-
cidcd today by the Federation in an
nual convention here. A committee ap-
pointed for the purpose will be named
to study the situation until that time
and make report. The executive com
mittee was instructed 70 outline prin-
ciplcs for such a party to be considered
by the proposed convention. This rcso
luton was adopted at the instigation
of Pennsylvania Lodge, International
Association of Machinists, with which
it originated at meeting here this
week.
Absolute fairness, both to labor and
the employing class, is the policy of the
Department of Labor and Industry,
Clifford B. Connolly, acting commits
sioner, told the convention. In out
lining the policy of the department
he said labor will receive courteous
and fair treatment at all times, but it
must pot expect to have the rights of
the employing class infringcd on. Mr..
Connolly added it was to be desired that
the state federation and the department
work in CO. operation.
Labor laws in general were consid-
cred. -
The committeeao organization rec
commended that every effort be made
during the succeeding year to secure the
affiliation of virtually every labor or
gahization of the state.
The work of the officials iu securing
the large afiliation during the last year
was commended.
Resolutions were adopted in favor of
the Schantz bill, which provides for a
forty eight-hou week for women; in
favor of a constitutional convention
and in favor of equal pay for equal work
by school teachers.
1t has been decided to have a commit
tee confer with Governor Sproul rela :
tive to the refusal of Mayor Lytle, of
McKeesport, to permit the Federation
of Labor to hold meetings in that city.
Trade unionists, whether Mayor Lytle
permits or not, have made arrange
ments for a big meeting at McKeesport

Behind Closed Doors, They Make
Plans and Keep Them Secret

The Philadelphia Sabbath Associa
tion, which limited at lawsuit to sup
press Sunday ball playing in Fair
mount Park, met today through its ex-
ecutive committee. but refused to dis
close its future plans in the matter.
'The committee assembled today at

Chestnut streets, and conferred behind
closed doors for nearly an hour.
After the conference it was stated
that no further statement would be is
sued nor would any comment be made
The Rev. DR.. r. Il. Mutchler, secretary
of the association. would not add to his
statement made yesterday. in which he
declared any action taken would be
in the interests of morality.
DIR. Mutchler hinted that ball playing
in the park on Sunday may lead TO the
arrest of the participants and that the
courts may be appealed to-. The asso-
citation officials are incensed at the Fair
mount Park Commissions ruling indors

THROWS AK AT GUARD
DOG; IS INDICATED
Magistrate Rules Attack on
Home Defense Canine Is Justi-
fled, Though Owner Protests

Question before the court: Is the
personality of Home Guard dog sa :
cred?
morning that. while it might be, there
are extenuating circumstances in the
case of Michael Godfrey, 307S Bolts
street, who threw an ak at an alleged
neighborhood pest; so the rights of
ncighbors have been vindicated by Mr..
Godfrey. I
In the first place the dog is owned by
Edward Lee, 1884 North Uber street,
who is a private in the Home Defense
League This entities him to carry a
gun and everything. Yesterday, accord
ing to Mr.. Godfrcy's story, told in
court, Mr.. Lees dog strayed into his
yard.
THE dog had nearly frightened my
little daughter to death on her way to
the store" said Mr.. Godfrey, "and I
admit I let the AK fly at it,"
The fact that the animal was muzzlcd
did not mitigate its offense in Mr.. God
frey's eyes, and he introduced witnesses
to show that while the dog was sup
posed to act oply in home defense he
was really sort Of ncighborhood ex-
peditionary force all by himself and
fond of making bayonct charges with
his teeth.
Following the wounding of the dog,
Mr.. Lee. it was testified. came to the
animals rescue, and, according to Mr..
Godfrey, drew his official gun and
threatened Mf. Godfrey with the ma
jesty of the law, calling upon him to
answer fots his crime. "A policeman
was called from the Thirty sixth Dis
trict station house, but not, Mrs, God
frey said, until after she had been
badly bruised as she blocked the'invad-
ing home guard. He was trying to get
into her home merely on the strength
of his uniform to- get at Michael, She
said.
The upshot of it is that Michael is
free while Mr.. Lee is going to get out a
warrant charging aggravated assault
and battery and will also tell the S. p.
c. A. of the man yho threw the az.

men insist they don't want to parade.
Colonel Greble, commander of the
10Sth Field Artillery, who arrived in
this city last week, has several cita
tions to award the men, it is under
stood, and in all probability the cere-
monies will be part of the exercises
which Colonel William Il. Scott, com
mander of the John Wanamaker Com
mercial Institute Cadet Corps, is plan =

''We hope to give a demonstration
much the same as that the Wanamaker
employees gave ut the time Of Marshal
Joffre's visit to Philadelphia. said
Colonel William n. Scott, commander
of the Wanamaker Cadet Corps, yester
day. 'If the parade can be arranged
and see no reason why anything
should Interfere, all the men of the
10Sth will be guests of the Wanamaker
store afterward. We will not give them

After a happy day spent with his
parents seeing the "sojers" parade,
which he had come from Nanticoke
Pa, to see, two-ycar old Norman
Ratchford, while playing at the dinner
table last night, pulled pot of scald
ing tea over on himself and was
burned so severely he died in Hahne
mann Hospital.
All the efforts of parents and kinsfolk
to relieve his agony while help was
being summoned to take him to the
hospital were futile.
The accident occurred at the home
Of William Severson, 645 North Fif
teenth street. He was the uncle of the
dead baby.
Infant Rescued by Neighbors
His fondness for playing with
matches caused fire at the home oI
three year. old Francis Carney, 6Q45
Locust street today, which badly dam
aged the house and nearly cost the life
of his year-old sister Mary. After the
flames had been cxtinguished the boy
was found hiding under a table in the
kitchen.
Mrs. Julia Carney, mother of Francis,
was in the yard talking to Mrs.
Thomas McIneally, a neighbor. She
saw flames in the dining room - Her
cries for help were answered by
Thomas Acheson, of Fortieth and Spring
Garden streets, and John Soeberg, 503j
Usage avenue.
Learning that Mary, the year old
baby, was on the second floor, Acheson
and Soeberg tried to reach there by the

Expense Bill
APPROPRIATION EXHAUSTED

It cost the city more than a quarter
of a million dollars to- honor the Iron
Division. according to partial items
made public today.
The bulk of this total went into
grandstands and decorations. Grand
stands alone cost nearly $4,000. OF

bills have yet been received for the
river boats which took relatives down
to meet incoming transports. The cost
of taxicabs between city hotels and the
docks, the big printing item and post

These bills are to come out of the
balance of s235. .131. 90 in Councils
committee on relief of soldiers. The city
| appropriation of 100000 has long
| since been eaten up.
State to Pay Its Part
| Part of the expense may be borne by
the state. which appropriated $4,000
to help the celebration, but special
trains between Harrisburg and this city
have eaten into that fund. The state
was given 5000 tickets for the big
Parkway grandstand and is expected to
pay share of that cost.
Among the items is one of S410S for
the dinner given General Muir and his
staff at the Bellevue Stratford on Wed
pesday night This banquet cost IS a
plate.
The decorations throughout the city
amounted to a big item which is esti-
