Compers Would Mortgage
Labor to Cox, Potts Says
Carpenters' Chief Accuses Fed.
Grafton Head of Unfair.
ness i'm Speech

AASCS A1A ORO~AA
John Potts, vice-president of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners of America, yesterday
charged Samuel Gompers with trying to
mortgage American labor and deliver
it to Governor Cox.
This recent statement of Mr.. Com
pers Is absurdly unfair" said Mr. Potts
"In lauding the Democratic platform
and the Democratic nominee. he is
proving what many of us have long
suspected, that his so-calied non-par-
tisan campaign committee is merely
a tail to the kite of the Democratic
party. His analysis of the Republican
platform bristles with misstatements
He says that the Democratic platform
is far more favorable to labor. But
where? Let US cite the clauses.
"He indicts the Republican platform
for denying rights to strike against
the government But what does the
Democratic platform state on the same
subject? Here it is: with regard tc
government service we hold distinctly
that the rights of the people are par
amount to the right to strike There
is here only difference in wording
The substance is identical with the
Republican platform. But Mr.. Com.
pers inveighs against the one and &C.
ccptS the other"

CHICAGO, Sept. ALI records fol

county officials believe, when twelve
men ne sentenced to be hanged for
murder.
Eight of the men are under sentence
to die October IA and four on the fol-
lowing day. In addition two other
slayers who have been convicted are
awaiting sentence and it is possible
that they also may hang on one OF
the other Of the two days.
Chicago has had several wholesale
executions in the past-the most not
able on November H., 1887, when four
of the Haymarket anarchists were
hanged but nothing in the memory OF
Jail officials approaches death list OF
twelve in two days.
Hangings in the Cook County jail
take place in the corridor of one OF
the main cell blocks. There is just
room for a double gallows, so it is
probable, according to George F. Lee
the jailer that the men will be ex-
ecuted in pairs. The hangings will
cost the state approximately $4,000
including a $500 fee for the sheriff for
each man hanged.

Hnensel, Richard Wilson, Harry Andre
and Frank Eager. Hacnsel, who killed
his wife, was to have been executed
last spring. but was granted a reprieve
five minutes before he was to have
marched to the gallows. Andre was
convicted of killing Waterman while
robbing a factory safe. Wilson was
found guilty in the same case, although
he was on another floor Of the build

the man. The jury decided that as an
accomplicc he was equally guilty.

Sugar Bowls Cause Wild
Scramble of Immigrants
Russian BoIshevist Leads Raid
of Ellis Island Inmates at
Breakfast Table

Docile immigrants who have been
recorded in the notebooks Of soco-
logical students as "the best type for
citizenship" forgot their manners at
Ellis Island yesterday when bowls OF
sugar were put upon the tables for
breakfast.
A Russian who had been taught by
Trotzky and Lenine to grab everything
in sight and treat folks rough who in
terfered was the cause of the trouble.
The coffee and tea of the immigrants
had previously been swcetcnod with
molasses, and there never had been any
disorder. The serving of sugar yes
terday, however, was too much for
those who had not tasted it in six or
seven years, and those with the Boil
shcvst instincts made raid upon the
sugar bowls. q
Officials on the island are inclined
to believe that it was not the sugar
so much as the way it was served that
caused the scramble. Hereafter it will
be served in envelopes as the immi-
grants Ale in to meals.

Normal Schedules
On IL and Subways
Predicted To-day
400 Surface Cars Operated;
B. r. 7. Reports Many
Strikers Applying for
Right to Resume Work

Increased service on elevated, sub
way and surface lines yesterday
marked the fifth day of the strike on
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit lines. Re-
ceiver Garrison said numerous addi-
tional men are in training and prophc-
sled that the service on elevated and
subway lines will be normal to-day
Officials of the company. said yester-
day the offices have been flooded with
calls during the last two days from
strikers who wanted to know whether
they would be taken back. Hundreds,
they asserted, have expressed de-
sire to return to work if the COM
pany would arrange police protection
and transportation to and from their
homes during the period of the strike.
They declined to say whether arrange
ments to provide such protection are
under way.
4O6 Surface Cars Run
Gradual relief in the situation, Off
Gals said, will be brought about
through the employment Of outside
men and defections from the ranks Of
the strikers. From this, it is thought,
preparations are being made to protect
strikers who desire to return as indi-
viduals.
1t was promised that surface car
service to-day would De 20 per cent
normal, with 406 cars running. Start
ing with 121 two and four car trains
on the elevated, the number was in
creased gradually to $50 trains. In
normal times the midday traffic num-
bers about 1855 trains, with 215 trains
during rush hours.
On the surface lines the company
started with eight cars and increased
the number to ITO.
Trains Better Patronized
There was less congestion than on
previous days of the strike and the
public indicated a return of confidence
in the company by patronizing the
trains more freely.
Mr.. Garrison says there are 5000
strikebreakers on the pay roll of the
company and that majority Of the
men are experienced street car oper-
atives recruited from other cities.
AS the feet of surface cars in
creases demands for additional patrol
mon to guard them are being met
promptly, it was said Two thousand
policemen were assigned to guard duty
yesterday.

Insurgent Wave Spreads
, Wyoming Valley, Hazleton and the
pcnuyiKlla regions appear to be the
hotbeds for the insurgent movement
The vacation" order, Of the insurgents
found heartier acceptance in these sec
lions than in the Scranton Carbondale
district and in other parts. Late re.
ports are that the insurgent wave is
spreading and that nothing short OF q
general tie-up is expected.
The union leaders are standing
firmly by their pledge to accept the
award and endeavor to keep the men
at work. Missionaries are in all parts
OF the field, but the insurgents are
equally busy along this line.
The Lehigh Valley, the Lehigh and
Wilkes Barre, the Susquehanna Collier.

Barre had only two collieries working

Stven others were in idleness.
The Lehigh Valley had ten colleries

and Western companies were idle. The
Susquchanna company had ten collier

five collieries were idle. In the Schuyl-
kill region forty-fve mines we're not
operating.
The general response to the insur-
gent call was far greater than union
leaders and coal operators had looked
fer. Now it is beginning to be be-
lieved that the walk-out was not so
much acceptance of insurgent policies
as protest against the majority award
of the anthracite commission.
