ASH!GHWAy BANDIT

Identified last night as the man who
figured in the hold-up of two automo-
biles on the Washington-Baltim
Harry T. Rosenberg, 314 X street
northwest. was held in $4,000 bail at
Ellicott City on the charge Of high
way robbery.
Joseph Odein, of Buffalo, n. Y, told
Sheriff Hudson and Julius Wasch
that Rosenberg was the man who was
standing on the running board of the
bandit car and who fred four shots
at Odein's car. One of the bullets,
which passed through the windshield,
missed Odein's head by about an inch.
Another bullet punctured a rear tire
and the machine swerved sharply in
tho road. The pursuing car was
forced into the ditch to avoid col
lision. Rosenberg was asked to go
to the scene and identify the car, and
when he told the sheriff that the ma
chine was his he was taken into Gus
tody.
Walter Stinson. of 1882 I street
northwest, also identified Rosenberg
as one of the occupants of the bandit
car. He said his machine was fol-
lowing the car operated by Odein
when the attempted hold up occurred
Rosenberg denies be was implicated
in the hold-up.
The Maryland authorities are stir
red by the frequent hold-ups and ac-
ton Is being demanded for protection
of autoists on the highways of that
state. 1t is understood that Governor
Richie is contemplating establishing
q State constabulary, similar to that
OF Pennsylvania. The men would be
stationed at most of the small towns
on the Washingto Baltimore boule-
ward, and would be equipped with
motorcycles and horses.
In case bandits attempted to escape
in the fields the horses would be used
in pursuing the criminals. A bill to
provide for a State constabularly was
introduced in the last legislature, but
it was pigeon-holed.

ASKS LABOR TO-
'CAUCUSONPAY.
Gompers Calls Representatives
OF Unions to Discuss Re-
classification Bill.

Declaring that decided differ
ence Of opinion exists among organ
ned labor on the recommendations
Of the Congressional joint commits
sion on Redistribution of salaries,
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, this
morning issued a call for a meeting
next Wednesday of international
representatives of twenty-five trades
unions 10 discuss the reclassification
bill about to be submitted to Con-
gress.
DESIRES UNANIMITY.
In his announcement Mr. Gompers
says that at this conference una
nimity OF approval or disapprovar
must be given by labor to the entire
Reconsideration movement. More than
score OF local unions have voiced
vigorous protest against reclassifica-
tton recommendation, declaring that
IL broke down the jurisdictional lines
OF the a. Il. of L., and some labor
leaders went so far as to intimate
that there was n direct attempt TO
uHoermlne organized loDOr.
Considerable significance Is attached
to the tact that Mr.. Gompers has
called this conference. which will be
participated in by international rep
rosentatives. II is taken to mean
that labor sees a dangerous wedge
TO pry into its organization unless
Redistribution is adopted by Con-
gress in more favorable form Than
originally intended.
THOSE CALLED TO MEET.
Mr.. Gompers has called together
representatives of the following
trades: Bookbindcrs, blacksmiths,
bricklayers, chauffeurs, carpenters,
craftsmen, masters and mates OF
tugs and dredgcs, electrical workers,
olectrotypers, steam and electric en-
gincers. steam flremen. compositors.
leatherworkers, glass blowcr sheet
metal workers, teachers, laundry
workers, printing pressmen. lithogra-
pliers, machinists. painters, pattern
makers. plate printers, plumbers, and

z|HLMAN PREDICTS
NEW TRAFF|CLAWS
Congressman Confident Drastic
Action Probable for Careless
D. c. Auto Drivers.

Following meeting of the sub
committee this morning at which
drastic traffic regulations for the
District were discussed, Congressman
Zihlman expressed the opinion that
the House would pass a far-reachinG
traffic bill during the present session
Of Congress.
THE need of more drastic traffic
regulations is so urgent" said Mr..
Zihlman, that l feel certain we can
get the bin on the House calendar
and acted upon despite the press of
other business. Members of Congress
realize the need OF such bill and
don't anticipate much trouble in get
ting the necessary two-thirds vote to
call up the measure"
ACTION Is POSTPONED.
Action on the traffic bin, which irn.
poses Jail sentences upon reckless
drivers, was postponed several days
by the subcommittee this morning 10
enable members to refresh their mem.
cries on various phases Of the legisla-
ton.
There is a possibility of the hear
ings being reopened. MIR. Iihlman
said that If the traffic police insist on
coming before the subcommittee
again, he can see no reason for refus-
ing their request.
The subcommittee today spent
considerable time on that section Of
the bill which imposes Jail sentences
on reckless drivers who injure
pedestrians, and also upon chauf-
feurs who operate motor vehicles
while under the influence of liquor.
DRASTIC LAW URGED.
Mr.. Burdick. member of the, sub
COMMITTEES, believes that licenses
should not be revoked perman entity,
as the legislation recommends, but
that this question should be left to
the discretion of the proposed traf-
fc court.
The bill proposes sentences rang
ing from 81 600 fine and one years
Imprisonment or both.
Congressman Zihlman expressed
the opinion that this regulation
would be kept in the bill when it
is finally reported to the House.
