Mrs. Alexander declared that her

than an hour the delegates yelled ar
guments at one another in favor of
this name or that before the one final
ly adopted began to emerge from the
confusion as being the least objection
able.
"You men ought to know" exclaimed
Mr.. Gompers hoarsely when he was
able to make himself heard again,
that the incumbent of this chair is not
to be swept off his feet by any such
demonstrations as have been exhibited
here"
Every question that came before the
assembly provoked fractional strife,
which frequently developed into tisti-
cuffs here and there through the hall.
Time and again Mr.. Gompers stood
helpleessly in the midst of the uproar,
spllnters of smashed gavels at his feet
and sound but useless one in his up-
raised hand.
Once he called, almost despairingly,
for two or three 6-foot labor men"
TO come to his assistance and uuell the
disorder
The most serious outbreak of the
evening came little before midnight
when Mr.. Gompers mentioned the
names of James p. Holland, president
OF the State Federation of Labor, and
Peter }. Brady of the City Record and
Allied Printing Trades Council, as
members of committee to draw up
a constitution for the newly-formed
body.
The combined efforts of Mr.. Com
pers, Mr.. Frayne. Frank Morrison and
other officers Of the American Fedora
ton had no effect upon the storm of
Jeers and counter yells with which the
names were greeted. The remaining
chairs were upset with a crash as the
delegates leaped to their feet, appar
emily bent upon battle royal.
Reserves Club Way Into Hall
A hasty call was sent to the East
Sixty seventh Street police station for
the reserves. Sergeant William Van
Twistern and his bluecoats had to club
their way into the hall Halfway in
their progress toward the platform,
they came upon heap of chairs, from,
beneath which protruded the lvgs O. "a
man.
They removed the chairs, score or
so in number, and revealed Herman
Markell, of 1914 Park Avenue, a dele
gate to the meeting, who is painter
and on strike. He was only semi
conscious and was taken outside to
be revived. When he had recovered
MS senses he declared that brother
delegates had attacked him and robbed
h'm Of $40 before burying him under
the chairs.
The police continued to plough their
way through the tumultuous meeting
and presently released Jake Heller, an
other delegate, who represented Rerfer
Makers Union II. Screaming at tie
top of his lungs, Mr. Heller STAGGERED
to the stage, climbed to prominent
position and announced that he had
been assaulted. 1t was several min
utes before order was restored, even
with the help of the police.

At the office of the B. r. T. it was

eial loss incurred by operating the

heavy and that the expense of main
tanning emergency crews was in excess
of $4,000 q day. Officials asserted,
however, that now that operation of

were being compelled to turn in their

or before September i. In that tele-
gram said:
IF your communication, declaring
your intention to refrain from working
unless I set aside the award Of the
Anthracite Coal Commission on or be-
fore September i, 1920, is intended as
a threat, you can rest assured that
your challenge will be accepted, and
that the people of the United States
will find some substitute fuel to tide
them over until the real sentiment Of
the anthracite mine workers can find
expression, and they are ready to abide
by the obligations they have entered
into
Notwithstanding the plain warning
contained in that telegram, which was
given wide publicity" the Presidents
message continued, "the majority Of
the anthracite coal miners, following
the leadership of these men, have re-
Trained from work under the guise of
taking a vacation. In doing so they
have not deceived any one, not even
themselves.
Must Respect Contracts
"Whcn body of men collectively,
refrain from working by mutual under
standing, however arrived at, it is a
strike, no matter what name may be
given to it. Our people have fought q
great war and made untold sacrifices
to insure. among ouner things, that a
solemn agreement shall not be con-
sidered as mere scrap of paper. We
have declined to enter into friendly re-
lations with governments that boast of
their readiness to violate treaties
whenever it suits their own convent
ence, and under these circumstances
we could not look the world in the
face or justify our actions to our own
people and our own conscience if we
yielded one iota to the men in the
anthracite coal fields who are violat-
ing the contracts so recently entered
into between themselves, the coal, OPP
orators and the government of the
United States.
II appreciate the earnestness of
your efforts to get the men to return
to work, and commend your stand in
support of the obligations of your con-
tracts, which all men must honor, but
for the reasons stated above, l regret
that l cannot grant your request to re-
convene the joint scale committee Of

for six months by the executive Of
ficers Of the New Jersey Department
of the American Legion because men,
bers Of the post ran "legion special"
between Bernardsville and Hoboken
during the unauthorized strike of rail-
road men, got its charter to-day.
The post had come to the state cam
vention here. sixty strong, determined
to get that charter or precipitate
tight on the strike issue before the
convention which might split the state
organization into two factions. They
got their charter less than an hour
before the convention opened.
Thomas Meaney, secretary to Otto
Wittpenn, Naval Oficer of the Port OF
New York and powerful labor leader
who was to have led the labor forces
had fight resulted, said that the labor
interests would be satisfied if the
nardsville would sign a statement say
ing thas in operating train during
the strike they had acted as individ-
uals and not as prospective members
of the Legion.
Individual Action Sanctioned
This the men from Bernardsvile
readily agreed to do, and the matter
was settled. Although they presented
the document, duly signed, the fact re-
mains that virtually every man now a
member of the post worked on the VOL

work, that the train was called the
Legion Special and that it made the
run with flags flying from pilot to tail
