16 UNIONS DECIDE ON
STEEL MILL DRIVE
Countrywide Fight Will Be
Started in Early Spring,
Says Committee.
Bu the Assocfated press.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Representa-
tives OF the International and national
unions in the steel industry. meeting
here to-day. decided to launch new
campaign to organize iron and steel
workers throughout the country.
Unemployment and present industrial
conditions, 1t was announced. would not
interfere or cause postponement of the
new steel unionization plans. Decision
was also reached to begin preparations
at once to combat any effort by the
United States Steel Corporation to re-
duce the present standard OF wages In
the steel mills
While no definite date for the new
combination was decided upon. the COM
mittee was said to expect to begin its
active work In the early spring.
The campaign will be conducted by a
new committee to be officially known as
the executive council of national and
international organizations in the steel
industry affiliated with the American
Federation OF Labor. This committee
replaces the national committee for or
ganlzing iron and steel workers. which
conducted the great steel strike Of last
year.
Approximately fourteen national and
International unions will take part In
the new campaign and be represented by
the executive council, as against more
than twenty in the last strike. All or
ganizations not actually interested In
the steel industry, it was announced
have been eliminated from activity in
the new movement, although they will
back 1t with their moral support.
Nd. ]. Tighe of Pittsburg. president of
the Amaigamated Association of Iron,
steel and Tin Workers, was elected per-
manent chairman OF the council, and
william Harmon of Chicago, general
executive board member of the Inter
national Association of Machinists, was
made secretary and treasurer Harmon,
formerly Of San Francisco. was one
time a vice-president OF the machinists
organization.
Mr.. Harmon declared 1t was not the
Intention OF the council to conduct
strikes, but only to participate In legiti-
mate organization work in the steel
plants, locating it's headquarters either
n Pittsburg or Chicago.

ANTHRACITE MINERS
OFFER WAGE TRUCE
Operators Take the Plan Un-
der Amusement.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 14.-An alterna-
tive plan for the solution of the anthra-
cite mine wage problem was presented
to the operators to-day by representa-
tives of the mine workers at a meeting
here. The operators previously had re-
fused to reopen the whole question. but
agreed to consider individual cases or
the cases of groups in which injustice
or inequalities were charged.
The alternative plan dealt chiefly with
the extension Of the eight hour day, re-
adjustment of the wage rate in certain
occupations so as to maintain differ
entails and increases in certain con-
tract cases
The conference adjourned to give the
operators an opportunity to consider the
proposition and submit their reply.

OFFICIALS INDICTED
IN ELECTION FRAUD
Patrick j. Harden Arraigned
for Defacing and Tear
ing Ballots.

The fact that the August Grand Jury,
which has been investigating charges of
election frauds, has indicted twenty
eight officials In connection with the cleo
tion last November became public knowl-
edge yesterday when Patrick ]. Harden,
a process server attached to District
Attorney Swann's staff. was arraigned
in General Sessions and pleaded not
guilty to a charge of falsifying ballots
by defacing and tearing them.
Harden. who was admitted to bail in
$1,000. was suspended from duty by
District Attorney Swami as soon as
Mr.. Swami was informed of the charge
against him. Harden holds his post by
virtue of a civil service appointment
and had been holding 1t for several
years before Mr.. Swami took office. The
August Grand Jury, which indicted him,
adjourned week ago after finding the
indictment against him on the last day
or It's session. He was not suspended
then because he was indicted as Hardy
Instead of Harden. and his identity
was not cleared up until yesterday.
Many of the election officials against
whom indictments have been found are
known to have done duty at polling
places under fictitious names and the
fact that nearly thirty officials had
been indicted was kept secret so that
the men would not take alarm and leave
this jurisdiction. Deputy Attorney
General Charles S. Robinson, who pre-
sented the evidence Of fraud to the
Grand Jury. described the frauds yes
terday as the "rawest and crudest"
known in New York in forty years.
What renders the frauds less impor-
tant than they might be in some other
year Is the fact that most of the mutt
lated ballots which have been found
were altered in favor of former Gov
Alfred E. Smith. who was defeated by
Gov Miller. and in favor of candidates
for lesser offices running against Social
lists. who, like Gov Smith, would have
been defeated without any interference
with the ballots. Harden for a num-
ber Of years has been Tammany dis
trict captain In the Ninth Election dis
trict OF the Fourth Assembly district.
Five other election officials in the same
district have been indicted but have not
been arrested yet.
Harden was identified yesterday by q
| Mrs. Florence Martin. who had worked
as a watcher at the polling place where
he was serving. One of the witnesses
against him, who told the Grand Jury
| OF certain occurrences in Harden's dis
trict on election night. Is John Evans
Sayre. brother of Francis c. Sayre.
President Wilson's son-in-law.

THREAT OF BOMB
AT CUSTOM HOUSE
Continued from First Page.

usual amount of disorder and crime.
The bomb squad at Police Headquarters
referred all inquiries to the chief in
spector, who referred them to the COM
missioner Mr.. Enright would not talk.
Mayor Hylan had nothing to say.
From other sources of information 1t
was learned that the precautionary
measures we're the result or a newspaper
warning following the recent radical
scare In Philadelphia. Special guards
have been stationed about the city on
other occasions when outbreaks were ex-
pected, so there is no cause for undue
alarm, 1t was said.
The guards are under the direction of
John ]. Cray, Fourth Deputy Commits
sioner, who made personal tour OF the
five boroughs to see that his orders were
being carried out.
The homes guarded included those of
Mayor Hylan, j. p. Morgan, John ID.
Rockefeller, Vincent Astor, Archbishop
Hayes and several Supreme Court JUS
tees.
The bomb squad thought 1t had dis
covered real bomb when mysterious
package was delivered to the home OF
c. w Kress 900 West End avenue.
Mr.. Kress notified the police, and In
spector Callahan and Detective McCart-
ney took the package into vacant lot,
where they cautiously opened It. IL
contained chinaware. which Mrs. kress
afterward remembered having ordered.
Reports from Washington said De-
nartment of Justice officials there take
a rather complacent view Of the wide
spread bomb plot warnings. So far as
the Department Is advised. and 1t has
had thorough reports from all sections
of the country, no extensive outrages
Swinging from unrest among the unem-
ployed can be found.
Some officials commented on the fact
that letters from private detective
agencies Offering to protect Industrial
and manufacturing plants and estao-
lishments, as well as financial institu-
tions, frequently followed warnings re-
ceived of impending bomb outrages over
the entire country.
In some instances at least warnings
of alleged impending outrages were traced
back TO certain detective agencies
These warnings impaired information
which It Is said the agency had come
upon, and was passed along as word
of warning for what 1t was worth.
| The Department of Justice has been
deluged with Inquiries on the subject OF
alleged bomb plots. and has referred all
| inuuisitors and some warning letters 70
| local police authorities in many cities
| Notwithsta nding the fact that no SUBJ
| sanitation has been found for the re-
ports of impending outrages. the Depart
ment has increased the vigilance of its
secret agencies. and is cooperating
closely with police authorities every
where in running out reports and clues.
All the public buildings in Jersey City
were under special guard last night by
order of Chief of Police Battersby. who
said he was acting on his own initiative
and not on advices from Washington OF
| elsewhere. There was no disorder.
