RIGHT To ORGANIZE
DEMAND OF LABOR
Industrial Peace Impossible
Until Capital Agrees,
Says Gompers
REPLIES TO SEN. HARDING

Special Dispatch to Evening Public Ledger
Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. 5.-Indus-
trial peace in America is impossible un-
til capital comedies the right of work
crs to organize and to have voice in
inlustry, Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor. said
today, commenting upon the declaration
Of Senator Harding. ut Marion yester
day, that industrial peace is Ameri
cas- first need"
President Gompers declared he had
not read Mr.. Harding's address. Ref
erences to industrial peace were out
lined to him. He said:
industrial peace can be obtained
in this country providing the right of
workers to organize in trades unions
and to be represented by persons Of their
own selection in all matters directly
concerning them and their interests as
wage earners is conceded"
To this emphatic uttcrancc. cmpha.
sized by sharp blow upon the council
table about which the executive COM
mittcc of the American Federation is
comforting here, he added:
collective bargaining is the first cs-
scntial to industrial understanding,
agreement and peace.
THE American Federation of Labor
stands back of that and is ready to meet
half way any movement from without
its membership to effect industrial
peace along the lines Indicated
The executive council today dealt
with further jurisdictional controver-
sizes, and referred indirectly to the west
crn Pennsylvania steel situation. One
of the first moves in the preliminary
campaign, looking to the organization of
the steel workers will be- II survey OF
the local legislation through which
"capitalsttic' officials in western
Pennsylvania co operate with the steel
companies to discourage organization
efforts by forbidding public meetings or
demonstrations without permits.
A collection of these ordinances,
which. it is claimed, are used to
"throttlc" the organization movement,
will be submitted to congressional nomi
nees in the Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana districts. and all candidates
will be called upon to declare whether
such legislation is fair to workmen.
Feeling still is strong in the cXccu'
tive couuci over the action of j. v
O'tonnor, of the longsh0rcmcn. in
proffering aid to Senator Harding.
Various forms of disciplining OConnor
for violating the written and unwritten
principles of organized labor are being
considered,

Boston. Aug. 5.--Hardly more than
half a hundred holders of Charles
Ponzi's notes calling for 80 per cent
interest in ninety days appeared today
at the hour for reopening the offices of
the Securities Exchange Co. In addi-
ton to this evidence that the run which
began ten days ago was virtually over.
there was noted marked unwilling
ness on the part Of noteholders to deal
with spectators to buy their claims.
In the early days of the run specu-
lators bought hundreds, of notes, usually
at 10 per cent discount. and then took
their place in line and cashed them in.
One spcculatOr claimed to have made q

and accomplishing nothing save delay :
ing the counon king from CARRYING out

said. takes the view that. inasmuch as
they can find nothing against him, he
should be permitted to z" on with his
business. which he maintains is thor
oughly legal and regarding which they
have not. with all their investigating

Nobody is going to reaudit my nc e

completed his inquiry into them and,
moreover. believe that second in e
vestigation of them would be untimcly
and unnecessary.
"When my liabilities are established,
then I will produce enough cash to

Exhibition on Roof

The police of the Germantown station
received an emergency call at 5:15
O'Clock this morning to 5711 Stenton
avenue. a vacant house, where the peo-
pie of the neighborhood were attracted
by the antics of man on the roof, who
was dancing around as though de-
mented.
When the patrol arrived the man was
apparently on the verge Of jumping off.
The police shouted to him to stop.
A cellar window Of the house was
found open, through which the police
made entry. In the cellar they found
sailor, whom they arrested. He gave
his name as Steven Brady, twenty two
years old, of Buffalo, N. Y, attached
to n receiving ship at League Island.
Brady was held in $500 bail for
further hearing tomorrow.
The man on the roof. however, made
his escape and no explanation of his
mysterious action could be had from
