dynamite the home Of Karl ].
Austin.
The dynamite was placed against
the foundation Of the house under
a window in the bedroom of the
first floor which was occupied by
Mr.. Austin and his wife. The heavy
stones in the foundation were APP
parently strong enough to resist the
explosion and divert the force Of t
into the opposite direction.
Little damage was done to the
Austin home but thirty eight win
dow panes were shattered in a
house across the street occupied by
George Shaw. Had the explosion
gone as directed it would have un-
dOubtedly taken the lives of two
other people besides the Austin
family. that OF Mr.. AUstin's aged
grandmother. Mrs Margaret Glazier.

STRIKERIGHT
Tells Labor He Also Op-
poses Compulsory Arbi-
tration Statutes.

Marion, Ohio, Sept. 6-Senator
Warren c. Harding made his first
comprehensive address on labor
problems today. The candidates
speech was not one of promises Of
what he or his party would do il
successful in the elections. but
rather a discussion OF the psyche
logical elements involved in work.
which he described as the supreme
engagement, the sublime luxury Of
life"
Senator Harding announced him
self as opposed both to anti-strike
statutes and to compulsory arbitra-
tion.
You cannot take from any man
the right to quit his employment
and we cannot have compulsory ar
bitration. because all parties must
consent to establish arbitration and
enforce its conclusions" he said
The preachment that capital and
labor were always opposing ele-
ments. Senator Harding said. came
from those who would destroy our
social system, and is utterly false
He urged a fair trial of the Cum
Minis Esch transportation act which
he admitted was a compromise"
and not perfect" as the best means
to railroad restoration.
Senator Harding announced his
full belief in unionism and in col
lective bargaining.
But l do not believe in labor's
domination of business or govern
ment any more than l believe that
capital should dominate" he added

LADY ASTOR IS
ASKED TO SUE
Horatio Bottomley Calls Her
Not Good Enough for
Britain.
BY ROBERT j. PREV.

NInlversal service stan Correspondent.)
London, July IA challenge to
Lady Astor to sue him for libel is
Horatio Bottomley's rejoinder to her
defense of her American divorce.
The famous editor tomorrow will
display his fiat on posters through
out Britain, dragging back into
publicity the seventeen-year old do
mestic trouble of the first woman
member of Parliament, whose ad-
vocacy of prohibition for Britain
and opposition to relaxation of the
British divorce laws have earned
her nationwide hostility.
In answer to Lady Astor's state
ment at Plymouth that she never
wanted a divorce and did not obtain
it on the grounds Of desertion. the
editor quotes from a New York
newspaper of February 5. 1908. as
follows:
I'm the beginning of the divorce
proceedings against Shaw (Lady
Astor's first husband) the single al
legation on which Mrs. Shaw pro-
ceeded was desertion."
Bottomley AYERS the ma ajority of the
members of the House of Commons
agree with him that Lady Astor is
profoundly ignorant of the princi-
Tles of public life and that what
mis 1t be good enough in the House
of Representatives is not good
enough in the British House of
Commons"
