CHICAGO. May 31.-Peggy Joyce
to-day took a new role in the Joyce
domestic legal drama as Attorney AL
fred s. Austrian, representing her mill
lionaire husband, filed an answer in
the Superior Court to her petition for
$4,000 q month alimony. James Stan
ley Joyce, Chicago lumoermai,, ia the
declaration, which fills fifty-nine
printed pages, paints colorful por-
trait of a new Peggy-a picture of
sharp highlights and considerable
shadow. He says he has spent 81 ,498,-
1852 on Peggy.
He observes that the ingenious
Peggy, instead of being a hunted
maiden, fleeing before hordes of love
inspired millionaires, was really
huntress with a knack of marksmap-
ship. He charges her among other
things with bigamy. deception and
moral turpitude.
Peggy, he charges, did not obtain
divorce from her first husband until
fourteen months after she had married
her second and that only q ruanipula-
ton Of the dates on her secoa I'D decree
saved her from a similar offense in her
third matrimonial venture.
The first two husbands, whom Peggy
in her bill of divorce had described az
millionaires, Joyce declares to have
been without millions. Both of them.

Twelve Held After Fire
On Martha Washington
Flames, Believed of Incendiary
Origin, Extinguisllen Barely
in Time to Save Officer

BUENos AYREs, May 81 (By The As
sociated Press ).-Fire was discovered
this morning on board the United
States Shipping Board steamer Martha
Washington. 1t is believed to have
been of incendiary origin. Twelve of
the vessels fremen among those to be
taken back to the United States under
the terms of the boycott settlement are
being detained by the police pending
an investigation.
The fire was eXtinguished barely in.
time to save the life of one officer who
was imprisoned by the flames in his
stateroom. Another officer escaped by
crawling through portfolio. The dam
age to the steamer is not sufficient to
prevent her sailing, probably to-mor-
row, unless prevented by further labor
troubles.
Loading Operations on the Martha
Washington By union labor ceased
when the port strike was resumed, but
the Munson Line, which operates the
vessel, has engaged non-a union labor TO
complete loading.

Political Angles Avoided

In the latter event there would be
the embarrassing public expectancy
every day that something would be
accomplished. The jingos of each
country involved would be screaming
to public opinion in their countries
that their Safety and national
existence" must not be inperiiled by
concessions reducing the size of their
army and navy. The temptation for
the Administration Of each country
TO play politics with the issue would
oe enormous, It is feared, and the
possibility Of getting anywhere
would be remote.
But the President and his advisers,
taily acquainted as they arc with the
pressing necessity on the part Of both
England and France to cat down their
heavy appropriations for preparedness,
are very hopeful that the occasional
suggestion on the part Of the American
representative that something should be
uone about disarmament finally will re-
suit in action.
There is an earnest desire on the
pare OF the administration to avoid
any step Whlcn would rouse the ma
uonai pride OF any country involved
against the idea Of mutual disarma-
ment. and to avoid any steu which

WASHINGTON, May 31.--Tenta-

ready have been begun by this gov
ernment, it was said at the White
House to-day. These feelers were
nut ont, it's was said, prior to the
discussion of disarmament in the

The very definite hint that Colonel
George Harvey, Ambassador to
Great Britain, had been comforting
With members of the Supreme Coun-
ell on this question was given by the
highest authority.
Instructions on this point, it was
learned, were given Colonel Harvey
by President Harding at the time
the Ambassador was notified that he
should attend the meetings of the
Supreme Council. The President
thought then, and thinks now, that
more can be accomplished by con-
yersations from time to time be-
tween men who are meeting for

CONTINUED PROGRESS

The election of Samuel Gompers as
president of the American Federation
of Labor illustrates more than eve.
the determination of labor unionists
throughout the country to resent any
interference on the part OF outsiders
in the conduct of the Federation's
business,
Notwithstanding the great amount
of publicity given Mr.. Gompers by
the Hearst papers, which for the past
several years has never let an oppor-
tunity slip to belittle the venerable
president of the American labor mose
ment. that gentleman was last Sat
urday reelected for the fortieth time,
with the largest majority ever re
ceived by him in any election where
he was opposed by another candidate,
with the exception of 1894, when he
was defeated by John Mcbride of the
miners union. Mr.. Gompers has been
the continuous president OF the Amer
lean Federation of Labor since that
body was organized in 1884 except for
the year Mr. Mcbride was in Office.
That labor unionists have the ut
most faith In Mr.. Gompers is shown
by Saturdays vote. That they are
not in sympathy with extreme radi
calism was indicated In the same
manner The election of Mr. Gompers
and the entire administrative forces
that have guided the policy of the
Federation through the last few years
of strife and turmoil is guarantees
that union labor will progress as il
has In the past--with a steady growth
along constructive lines that will
place and keep II in the front rank Of
Americas great institutions.
Mr.. Gompers statement, after hi;
election, that his election would brini
no comfort to Mr.. Hearst and Mr.
Gary, is very significant, as 1t wa
these men who were most interested
in his retirement.
We look forward to continued pros
perity for all organized labor unde
the guidance of Mr. Gompers.
