"AI1 Going Well on Board" Says Mes
sage from the Transport

A wireless message received late yester-
day from the Powhatan said
'All going well on board. No change
in ships condition.
Another message from Captain Lustie
OF the army transport Northern Pacific,
stated that his ship was standing by the
Powhatan waiting for the weather to
moderate in order to transfer passengers.
Request has been made for a seagoing
tug to assist in towing the disabled trans
port to Halifax.
The 1863 passengers who arrived here
yesterday afternoon on the Cedric, OF the
White Star line, were still full OF the ex-
citement of their meeting with the army
transport Powhatan, which became dis
abled at sea last Sunday. The Cedric was
the first vessel to respond to the Powhat-
tan's S o S call and the first craft to
reach the distressed American steamship.
Sir Hugo and Lady Cunliffe-Owen re-
lated how the passengers on the White
Star line ship crowded the rails on Sun
day after Captain j. o. Carter, command
er of the Cedric, had received Captain
Randalls call for assistance. It was just
after the luncheon hour when it became
known that the Cedric was making full
speed toward the distressed Powhatan.
Hurried to Her Relief.
At ten minutes before two O'Clock Sun

fifty-four miles away from that position.

"Fire rooms flooded. pumps choked and

sage from Captain Randall, OF tho Pow
hatan.
Am coming fun speed. Send up signals
at dusk" Captain Carter photographed
back from the Cedric
At fifteen minutes before six o'clock
Sunday evening the Cedric was in the
position given by the Powhatan four
hours before but nothing could be seen
OF the transport
1t was thirty minutes after eleven O'Clock
that night before Captain Carter could
make out the Powhatans night signals,
and he at once sent reassuring message
to the Powhatan's commander.
Unable 10 Take Passengers.
All Sunday night and all Monday tho
Cedric wallowed in the sea half a mile
off the Powhatan, which also seemed TO
be rolling badly.
There was not a sign OF smoke from
the tunnels and we realized what those
on the Powhatan were suffering" said
Lady Cunliffe-Owen. "It was so com
course, that there was not bit OF fire
or warmth on the Powhatan, since her
firerooms We're flooded and her boilers
out of commission"
Toward dusk on Monday evening Cap
tain Carter sent radio to Captain Ran
dali, saying:-
$40 YOU think you are in danger or
that my proceeding will endanger any life
aboard your ship? If so, will remain
standing by
To this message Captain Randall re-
Piled
Have sent messages 70 destroyers,
asking them to take off my passengers.
Will not think you are leaving me IN
distress If you proceed"
4 few moments later Captain Randall
supplemented this message with the fol-
lowing
"Destroyers have signalled will take off
my passengers. Your presence has been
most reassuring and we all thank you
for your cooperation"
The Cedric then withdrew from the
scene and proceeded on her voyage to
New York.

sistant District Attorney, to station de-
tectives in the front OF the homo of Mrs.
Rose Pastor Stokes, No. IS Grove street,
to insure her appearance before him to-
day at the trial of Benjamin Gitlow, for
merly an Assemblyman, on an indict-
ment charging criminal anarchy.
Mr.. Rorke explained that subpoena
had been issued for Mrs. Stokes by Ed
ward Swami, District Attorney, but that
detectives who endeavored to serve the
subpoena were unable to do so. Every
time the detectives went to her home, Mr..
Rorke told the court, they were met by
a maid, who declared Mrs Stokes was
not at home.
IT subpoenaed the maid" explained
Mr.. Rorke, s"and she informed me that
a subpoena she received from detective
10 serve on Mrs. Stokes was received by
Mrs. Stokes this morning. Mrs. Stokes
has ignored the subpoena, and I ask Your
Honor to issue a bench warrant for her. f"
Justice Weeks replied that he wanted
Mrs Stokes house watched by detectives
during the night. He said they might be
able to serve another subpoena on her
during that time, and that II they were
unsuccessful he wanted to be informed
about it at the resumption OF the trial this
morning.
The indictment against Gitlow alleges
that he advocated the overthrow Of gov
ernment by violence through the publica-
ton in q magazine called the Revolu-
tionary Age, of which he is the business
agent The publication is said to be
representative of the Communist party
known as the left wing of the Socialist
party. Eight others were indicted with
him, among them James Larkin, Irish
radical.

Assembly Chamber at Albany OF the
five Socialist members.
Frank ". Kennedy, of No. 555 West
18th street, the only talesman selected
during the day, was asked by Mr..
Recht:--
"If the representatives OF the Socialist
party or the Communist party, after
being duly elected, were thrown out OF
the Assembly and such act were fol-
lowed by a strike. would You consider
the advocacy of such a strike an un-
lawful act?''
NO" replied the talesman.
Would you consider it unlawful II
there were a cessation OF work until the
political demands OF the minority were
obtained?'
NO"
Then I take it you believe the rights
Of the minority, whether the minority IL
right or wrong, should be protected?"
Yes"
What would be your thought If yor
read in the headlines of the newspapers

ment""
"Pd say that that was good COPY

Jersey Firms Seek
to End Closed Shop
Bill in Chancery Court Would Break
Union Control in Build
ing Trades

bill filed in the New Jersey Chancery
Court by former Vice Chancellor Merritt
Lane in behalf OF fifteen business con-
Germs OF Hudson County challenges or
ganized labor's stand in opposition to the
employment of non-union workers. The
business firms for the most part are
dealers in lumber and other building
materials.
The complainants declares that con-
fronted with demands that they en-
ploy none but union labor, such agree
nents would be a conspiracy in restraint
OF the free right to contract and to labor.
and contrary TO public policy. The first
two clauses in the prayer OF the bill ask
that the defendents "and all persons as
sociated with them" may be enjoyed.
"(a) From promoting. encouraging, d.
recting or participating, in any manner
whatever, In the strike against the COM
plainants; from contributing money or
advice, toward the success of the strike.
"(b) From advising with participating
in, encouraging, persuading or consulting
with striking employees of the complain
ants, or others, with the design of secur-
ing agreements from complainants by
which they agree to employ none but
union labor"
Vice Chancellor Foster granted an order
directing the defendant organizations and
individuals named to show cause on
February 10 why the injunction should
not be granted. In the interim they are
restrained from the commission of most
of the alleged offences set out in the
petition.

LABOR AND CAPITAL

Labor is older than capital;
capital comes from labor;
nevertheless they are one and in
seperable. United they stand
separated they fall. If a man is
going to handle labor successfully
it is not enough to give fair hours
of work and fair wage-we must
not only let live but help live.
We must impress upon all, both
labor and capital, the words OF
Abraham Lincoln for they embody
a sound doctrine which must gov
ern: "Let not him who is house
less pull down the house of his
neighbor; but, rather, let him
strive diligently to built one for
himself thus, by example, showing
confidence that his own when built
shall stand. d."-Leonard Wood at
Yorkton, S. D.
