COMP RS STUDIES
STRIKE MATTERS
BUT WON I TALK
Indications Are, However, That
He Is Trying to Hold Off
Steel Workers Strike Until
After October g.,

tBT MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL Lhhstb WINE
Washington, Sept 15.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, returning to his
office at the federation headquarters
went over the situation arising from
the police Strike in Boston and the
proposed nationwide steel workers
strike, September %, but refused TO
comment on either
There were indications, however,
that the labor chief was making every
effor. to obtain from heads of the steel
workers unions consent to call off the
proposed strike and to await the in
dustral conference called for October
6 by President Wilson before taking
action.
The work of Mr.. Gompers was seen
in the apparent inclination Of the
United Mine Workers officials in con-
yention at Cleveland to support a
movement to delay the steel workers
walkout. In requesting that the mine
workers take this position, Mr.. Com
pers forwarded letter from Presi-
dent johnson of The international
Machinists association, favoring post
ponement of the strike.
At federation headquarters today
il was said that the steel situation, was
particularly delicate from a labor
stanpoint, in that strikes can only
be called or settled by the unions di-
rectly involved.
Labor federation officials nave no
power TO take any aetioH1or issue any
orders, though they may give advice
and assistance and this may be partic-
ularly influential. Mr.. Gompers activ-
tiles are consequently only taken in
his capacity as adviser.

TO CONNECT PHOENIX
WITH THE GILA BEND
DISTRICT BY BRIDGE

Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 15.-The prop
osition to build into the Gillespie di-
version dam across the ella river
above Bend sufficient extra piling to
carry a bridge to connect Phoenix
with the ella Bend district and Ajo
met with universal approval at meet
ing today of the county supervisors,
chamber of commerce, and repre-
sentatives of the districts concerned.
The only stumbling block is the
shortage of funds in the county road
fund, but it is proposed to take care
of this by the loan to the county by
the Gillespie company of the funds
necessary. 1t is estimated that put
ting the bridge across above the dam,
with the dam as footing. will practical
ly cut in half the cost of the proposed
bridge.

NASHVILLE PAPERS
REFUSE BONUS AND
PRINTERS WALK OUT
Composing Room Employees
Demand Fourth Bonus of
81 a Day Above Con-
tract Scale

Nashville, October 39.-Nearly the entire
composing room force of the Nashville
Tennessean walked out tonight, following
the refusal of the publishers, the Ten
nessee Publishing company, to grant a
demand for a fourth bonus of dollar a
day above the contract scale of wages.
together with the bonuses previously
granted.
4 Fridays edition of the paper is being
gotten out with only two men operating
linotype machines, one regular operator
and the foreman.
A like situation also confronts the
Nashville American, an afternoon news
paper. published by the same company.
and the Nashville Banner, published by
the Banner Publishing company.
All of the operators employed by the
papers are members of the typographical
union. with which the companies have
contracts, which will not expire until
January 10, 1921 The scales in these con-
tracts are s4.25 on the day side and $40
ON the night side. During the past few
months the companies have voluntarily
granted three bonuses amounting to 81. p
a day A committee appointed by the
president of the union this week re-
quested a fourth bonus of one dollar a
day additional. This, the companies de-
clined to grant. but offered to submit
TO arbitration the question of what bonus,
if any, should he paid above the scale.
Without answering this proposal for ar
bitration practically all of the men en-
ployed in the composing room failed to
report for work tonight and the type
setting forces of the American and the
Banner. it is understood, will pursue a
like course tomorrow.

COTTON SELLS AT 75C
BY Associated Press

New Orleans, October sO.-Ali
price records for the present bull
movement in cotton, and all rec
ords for half century and more,
were broken in the New Orleans
market today, when the first GIN
ming of the famous Pantherburn
plantation, owned by John NJ. Par
ker of New Orleans, sold at 90
cents a pound.
The sale was of 500 bales, weigh
ing 800 pounds each. which means
that each bale was worth $3.50 and
thar the total transaction involved
100000.
Pantherburn plantation is To-
Gated in Mississippi, near Nicks-
burg. The cotton was sold at mid
ding grade. or better. and expert
classifierS said that the lot would
average strict middling. The great
value of the cotton. however, was
in its staple. which was an inch
and a quarter to nm inch and five
sixteenth. The sale was made to
New England mills.
In another way this transaction
breaks all records, for. figured on
"a basis" the price is 1000 points
on January contracts. the highest
basis ever quoted for any kind of
cotton in this market.
