 Women with babes in their arms crowded into the railways and there In the smoke became frantic. A number were overcome and others trampled, but all these were rescued by firemen The charred bodies of a Mrs Cunning ham, 65 years old, and ESith Kronenberg. g, were found on one of the stairway landings.

CAPITALS ATTITUDE
 TOWARD LABOR UNIONS

Stamford, April 30-Co-o2eration be- tween capital and labor was urged by the Rev. Dr. Dr. John A. Ryan of Catholic university, Sashingt1nl in an address here tonight before the Connecticut con ference on social work.
 The problem of co-operati on between the two classes is not problem of re moving ali antagonisms and all divergent interests" he said. That object i. simply unattainable. Rather is he prob lem that of reducing the clements of conflict to their lowest dimensions, and increasing so far as practicable, the ele' meBts of common interest. At present the emphasis is placed by both parties up on their mutual antagonisns.
 ''The first act in a program of recon ciliation Is to remove certain powerful obstacles. For some of them labor is responsible; for others the planes lies upon capital On the side of labor. the principal hindrances to a cooperative policy are certain restrictive practices of the unions namely. restriction of output. limitation of apprentices, and dis1rtes concerning certain kinds of work which are claimed by more than one craft or trade
 On the side of capital, the principal obstacle to reconciliation is organized and widespread opposition to labor unionism, and it's necessary methods | and policies. The open shop movement was and is hypocritical attempt tc cripple the unions under the guise o1 promoting freedom of contract in indus l trial relations. Until capital changCb l its attitude on this point, no progres: | towards genuine cooperation between i and labor is possible"

Lettt, by Pope to
 Govt and Peoples
It Has Inspired the Genoa Conference to Renewed Ef- forts For Lasting Good of the World.

Genoa April 50 (By the A. .P.) ).-Pope Plus, through Cardinal Gssparri. has sd- dressed to the governments and peoples of the world letter which is described as new spur to universal brotherhood and new admonition of disasters likely to. befall mankind if efforts for true pacification should fail. This act by the holy see has created great interest and has seemed already to inspire all to re- newed efforts to make the Genoa confer ence of lasting good to the world.
 Commenting today, Premier Lloyd George said: T cannot say how pleased am at this remarkable document, nor could I exaggerate the terms in which it is couched. The pope speaks with first hand knowledge of conditions in eastern Europe, and I feel that so clear and def- mite pronouncement by the holy see in favor of peace with Russia is great en- couragement to the Christian powers as- sembled at Genoa"
 The. ideals of the pope are being preached here by Don Luigi Sturzo, lead CT of the Italian Catholic party, who is attaining a unique position in an unofIi- cial capacity at the conference. There seems to be remarkable identity of views concerning international co-opera. tion and international brotherhood pro claimed by Sturzo With those Lloyd George has recently been urging in con- nection with the necessity of making some cooperative arrangement with al the peoples of Europe. including especial
 ly Russia and Germany.
 i Officially the economic conference saw little activity today. The jurists who art striving to compose the differing views O. l France and Great Britain on the ques l tlon of the settlement of the Russian wal debts met this afternoon and made con siderable progress. Their report will b, submitted to the conference, as will alst
 the plan 10 dispose of the vexing problem
 of private property in Russia which va 1 confiscated by the soviet government ant l nationalized. France wants it restored 1 If it can be located, but Britain will b | content with enjoying the use of it.
 The jurists appear to have diScoveret some formula which, according to rumol mentions neither standardization, owner
 ship of private property nor capitalism il a way to offend the soviet followers o
 nationalism or the supporters of capital
 ism in other countries.

DIR. ". P. ALLEN KILLS HIS
 SON, THEN TAKES OWN LIFE

Chattanooga, Tenn. April S0.-Dr. W. P. Allen, of Dayton. Tenn, who was last December acquitted of the murder of Burch c. Gardenshire, member of well known Tennessee family, after one of the most sensational murder trials ever staged in Rhea county, tonight killed his nine-year- old son, W. LP Jr., attempted to kill his wife and committed suicide.
 The double tragedy occurred three miles south of Dayton as Dr. Allen, his wife and son. were returning from an automobile ride.
 Mrs. Allen said the shooting was with out any warning. She said Dr. Allen, who was driving the car, stopped at the side of the road, drew his pistol and shot the child through the head. She jumped out on the other side, Mrs Allen said, and ran as Allen started shooting at her. Failing in this purpose, Allen turned his pistol upon himself.
