DAUGHERT'Y FOUGHT
 RELEASE OF DEBS
Attorney General Opposed Clemency but Was Forced to Yield by
 President.

Washington, Jan 6-Attorney General Daugherty strongly opposed the release of Eugene V. Debs from the Atlanta penltentlary, and III h1S initial recommendation to President Harding argued against executive clemency, according to information from a reliable source here.
 Later on, according to this version, the attorney general drew up state ment, to be issued when Debs was released, and had no intention of making public his recommendations in the case. When Debs walked out of prison he was forced to defend the Presidents action because of heated telegrams arriving at the Department of Justice from members of the American Legion and others opposed to mitigation of the socialist leader s punishment.
 According to what on good author ity purports to be an explanation ot MT. Daugherty's attitude, the Debs opinion made public was elaborated upon after Debs was out of the pen itentiary in order to set before the public some of the reasons for elem .ency that would answer the protests.
 It is understood that Mr. Daughter tv and President Harding exchanged considerable correspondence over the Debs case, the President desiring to set him free and MT. Daugherty of fering opposition. He was forced to yield An inconsistency is that MT. Daugherty's recommendation calls for the release of Debs on Dec 3I, whereas President Harding set him free on Christmas.

The coming visit of MT Gompers
 10 New Haven marks an epoch in
 Organized LaLor and Industrial his
 tory of the state since organized la
 Dor has been active in looking after
 the interests of the workers, inas-
 much as 1t is the first time that the head of the American Federation of Labor has come here to address any gathering in an official capacity, as far as any present day Labor leaders can remember, and certainly the first time he has been invited here by businessmen and industrial leaders It IS hoped and expected that from the meeting will come a better under standing and closer afflliation between the businessmen and employer and the organized worker and from the manner in which the invitation was extended and accepted this is certain to ensue.
 While Connecticut has been won derfully free from industrial troubles such as have occurred i'll other parts of the country, especially in latter years, there Is yet an undercurrent running in connection with the "open shop" drive that has been persistent ly disturbing conditions here for the past year. This 1t IS presumed led the businessmen to invite Mr. Com pers to meet them and talk over the economic and industrial conditions as both sides see 1t. The gathering was put off until April so that those in charge of the affair could select from business and industrial affairs; men of standing and influence in their respective lines, so that the situation could be discussed as broadly as pos sible under the limited scope under which plans for such a luncheon and must necessarily be made. Saturday was also chosen as being probably the week day on which such d representative gathering might per haps be better able to get together
 As to the Labor gathering on the day following this will be more of a and acquaintance meet ing of Connecticut Labor men and the Federation head than an in-and-out labor conference. While all crafts will be represented at the meeting 1t is now planned that 1t will be simply 10 advise together and further plan ii necessary 10 combat the "open shop" drive and certainly to discuss ways and means of enlarging the different organizations so that the workers will be 100 per~4 cera. organized in each craft and community. The visit of the Federation head is yet so far off that plans for reception to him and tor his entertainment while in the city are yet in abeyance It can be said however, that the visit will be made an occasion" by Connecticut Labor men.

Although the negotiations with the men are not yet completed, there will be no reduction in AhVages on the New Haven road on
 anuary Is, no matter what other
 hilroads of the east may do, so Ear as the shop crafts and other VWorkers aside from the trainmen amare concerned. In addition to ghat understanding, the New Ha- yen road will resume work in it's FIocomotive department in the shops at New Haven, Readville and VanNest on Monday under the prevailing rate of pay when the shops were closed down some two weeks ago and the work will continue as of old until the matter has been finally taken to the Rail road Labor Board, as provided for in the board s most recent de- cision and the wage question set tied there.
 The resumption of work in the shops next week will put probably 2OOO men back on their jobs and will it is expected be followed by the calling in of the car workers in the shops within probably a week or ten days. The wage ques- ton is however by no means set tied but at conferences this week, it was understood on both sides that the matter would be placed before the Labor Board.
 As to the ear workers, which have been presented with a slid ing scale which would reduce their wages about 20 cents an hour, negotiations have been tenn porarily suspended pending a meeting of the System Federation Board officers in New York next week. This probably also will go to the Labor Board for adjust ment.
 Following meeting of the railroad executives of the east ln New York a couple of weeks ago, at which the New Haven road was represented, 1t was apparently officially stated in the New York financial papers, that the road heads had determined to put in to effect another wage reduction on January 16 and let their action go be- fore the Labor Board, if the men de- clined to accept it, and have it fought out there, the reduction meanwhile being in effect. Whether or not the roads intend to go ahead with such a plan, the New Haven does not so intend to do, according to under standing now with the workers, but will resume under old conditions in the shops, pending further confer ences and submission of the matter

When the Notre Dame basketball
team recently lost three m
through professionalism, the gold
and blue fans generally groaned:
THAT settles it." But not Walter
Halas. He went right to work with
the vigor that has characterized him
all during his career at Notre Dame,
and instead Of becoming discouraged
over the situation. determined 10
develop even a better basketball
team than HIS old one.
Such a task would represent a
years work, at least, ordinarily.
But Halas accomplished it within
five days, for spectators at the Wa
bash-Notre Dame game Friday are
almost unanimous in their opinion
that the squad which faced Wabash
was as strong as the team which
had been representing Notre Dame
during the earlier part of the sea-
son. The gold and blue played real
basketball Friday night, the FIVE
men working as q single unit. and
exhibiting more team work than any
basketball team al Notre Dame in
recent years. Thes men showed the
training which they had received
and Halas felt partly repaid for the
tremendous efforts he put forth.
Only partly repaid, because he will
never rest with a team that can hold
wabash. He viii never be satisfied
until his team can whip the Little
Giants-whip them decisively.

ing a statement by Julian Myrick,
president that it simply was
meant To- emphasize the danger OF
promiscuous matches and the dis
approval of the association"

amateur rules prohibiting players
from writing newspaper accounts of
