FIRE IN WHICH
7 DIE NOT DUE
To RAIL STRIFE
Police Feel Pittsburgh Shop
Blaze Was Caused by
Accident.
BY international New. Service.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. A.
Half a dozen thorough-going in
vestigations were under way to-
day to determine the cause,
whether accidental or by design,
Of the fire which destroyed the
commissary building and coach
repair shop at Thirtieth street of
the Pennsylvania railroad early
Sunday morning with a loss of
seven lives and ten injured, two
Of whom will probably die.
Accident Is Theory.
A horde of Federal, State, county.
city and railroad detectives today
are piecing together bits Of evidence
but apparently have struck no hot
trail.
Suspicion which first leaned to-
ward striking shopmen or their sym.
pathiZers had veered around some.
what toward the accident theory this
forenoon, II was said.
In the building were reported to
have been large stores of carbide
Whether water came into contact
with the carbide, by accident or de.
sign, has not been determined.
Three powerful explosions and
scores Of smaller ones were reported
about the time the fire was dis.
covered. So far there is nothing to
show that the fire or explosisions
were caused by human agency.
Survivors tell more or less con.
flicting stories as to the start of the
fire; all agree, however, that when
they were first awakened a part Of
the building was in flames and that
the fire spread with dreadful rap
idity.
A formal report Issued by the
Pennsylvania Railroad says: "The
officials are unable to ascertain the
cause of the fire"
Search was continued today for
more bodies. The ruins were being
cleared away as quickly as possible.
Victims Unidentified.
The regular list of names of the
sixty men trapped in the bunk-house
is reported destroyed.
At the morgue the seven victims
lay unidentified. The bodies are
charred beyond recognition. BY a
process Of elimination, from one Of
the Pennsylvania's lists, seven names
are unaccounted for. The coroner
has the seven names and also seven
bodies, but he has no means Of FIT.

The Pennsylvania officially an.
nounced the fire loss to be $220, 900.
District Attorney Harry II. Row
and said: "If the facts warrant 1t
the grand jury will investigate this
fire. Should facts establish that
the fire In which these men lost
their lives was OF incendiary origin

the problems of industry and pro.
ductionA They need but to be~freed
from the wasteful necessity of be-
ing compelled to stand guard
against the destruction Of essential
rights by powers that are primarily
interested in profit.
We have been compelled to engage
IN great Industrial disputes. We
still are compelled TO SO engage our
energies. These disputes involve
fundamental rights. But, and en-
phasize this, not a single important
Industrial dispute of the past year
has been of labor's making. These
disputes have been forced upon the
workers.
Wall Street--a great financial
oligarchy-is the power responsible
for the turmoil that we are witness
ing. The workers have been com.
PEELED to defend their rights, which
are alike the rights Of all.
Labor Day this year Is a day upon
which to pledge solidarity to free
dom's cause. It would be happier
were IL a day on which to discuss
great, constructive plans for human
betterment. to go forward in peace
and good will.
But Freedom is the first essential.
While We are compelled to defend,
we shall defend, unflinching and un-
afraid, proud of our cause, confident
OF the ultimate dawn Of a better day

Labor Lifting Voice
Today In Protest On
Railroad Injunction
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES,
International News Service.


= Labor Day, with it's numerous raj
lies and celebrations in all the States
of the Union, was expected today to
provide the acid test TOR the Daugh-
= erty injunction against the railroad
strikers.
Throughout the country labor
prepared to lift it's voice in one gi-
-gantic protest against the most dras-
tic restraining order ever issued by a
court Of equity in an industrial dis
pute. Injunction or no injunction,
labor will speak its mind today, ac-
,cording to the predictions Of national
leaders here.
The National Capital was stripped
Of labor leaders, virtually all of ma
tional prominence having speaking
engagements elsewhere. Samuel
Gompers was due to deliver an ad-
dress in Philadelphia, William II.
Johnston was scheduled to address
q rally at River View Park, Balti-
more, despite the injunction which
enjoins him from saying anything
about the strike, publicly or pri-
vately.
Watching the meetings of labor
will be representatives Of the Gov
ernment under orders to report any
violations of the restraining order
to Washington and to Judge Wilker.
sons court in Chicago, which
fathered the injunction.
Attorney General Daugherty him
self was expected back from Chi
cago and Columbus today, prepared
tomorrow to assume direction of the
thousands of Federal officers in
their efforts to enforce the courts
order.
The Daugherty injunction is en-
forceable in all parts of the United
States, it was asserted by Depart
ment of Justice officials, notwith-
standing an opinion rendered by
Judge Woodrough in Nebraska that
= the order. having emanated from
an Illinois court, would be ap-
plicable only to Illinois and would
have no effect on Nebraska strikers.
In the absence of the Attorney
General, his aides refused to COM
ment on the Nebraska decision,
other than to say 1t would have no
effect on the enforcement of the
restraint order in other States.
: The Labor Day rallies and cele-
-brations today win be watched by
the greatest peace-time army Of
Federal officers ever. enrolled, ac-
cording to Department of Justice.
Nearly 5000 deputies have been
mustered throughout the country
TO maintain order, report viola
tions Of the Injunction and to
prevent sabotage on the rolling
stock Of the roads.

No Labor Day has brought with 1,
more serious labor problems than
this Labor Day of 1922. The ques
tions now presented will reflect
themselves far into the future lives
of organized workingmen.
Much literature and many letters
have come to my desk In the last
two years, and especially in the last
two months, denouncing unionism
and attributing all our industrial
difficulties to organized labor. II
is earnestly and persistently urged
that union labor organization be
broken up and destroyed.
Organization Is Lawful. ....
This is a great error-it Is all
wrong. The time has gone by
when the right Of men to organ
ize in order to protect and promote
their interests can with reason or
justice be questioned. The condi.
tons of the working man would
be intolerable even in this country
without this cooperation among
the men who work.
But while the right Of men to or.
ganize ought never to be question.
ed, much less denied, yet by rea.
reason of this concession a CORE.
spondingly graver responsibility
rests upon the working man, and
especially upon labor leaders. There
is plenty Of room in our industrial
life for labor unions, and no free
government could long maintain
a respectable citizenship which
would deprive the working man of
a just and fair wage. Nevertheless,
every institution within this coun.
try and every organization or asso.
citation, whether OF capital or la.
Dor, must acknowledge allegiance
to. and work In complete harmony
with, the fundamental principles
OF constitutional liberty.
Enemies Of Worhmen.
The workingman who wants 10
work at q Just wage-a remunera.
tion which will enable him to edu-
cate and care for his family-has
two enemies with which to contend:
The employer, some Of whom
would grind him down into peon-
age: and the labor disturber, who
would place unionism above the
law and above the constitution and
the common interests Of the whole
people. II this strife, constantly
at hand, is merely a fight for the
domination Of the Government.
either by capital on one hand or
labor on the other. then all true
Americans will reject the plan Of
either or. both.
Leadership in the cause of labor
therefore calls not only for an ac-
curate knowledge Of, and a deep
sympathy for, the working man
and his interests, but also for the
wisest craftsmanship and the most
sincere patriotism.

the nomination Of George Suther-
land, of Utah, to I'LL the vacancy

ment."
p. George Sutherland, who will sue.
ceed Justice Clarke. is one of the
bestknown lawyers In the United
States, and has had long and dis
.tinguished public career.
At Present In Europe.
At present he is in Europe on Gov
ernment business and is expected to
return to the United States in the
- near future, although probably not
y. before his nomination goes forward
: to the Senate.
Sutherland was born in England
In 1862. He came to this country
with his parents in early childhood,
g., settling in Utah. After being edu.
Gated in Utah schools and in the Uni
~'versity of Michigan, he began the
practice Of law in Utah and in 1896
was eletced to the State senate. He
p became prominent in Republican
politics, and for a number of years
was delegate to national conventions.
In 1901 he was elected to Con-
gress. He served one term in the
House and then refused renomina-
ton. Twp years later he was elected
to the United States Senate and
served Utah in the upper chamber
for tselve years. In 1851 he was
prs<fdent Of the American Bar
association.
Harding Advisor in Campaign.
During the campaign Of 1920
Senator Sutherland was one OF
President Harding's closest advisors.
He was continually on duty at the
Marion front porch, and Is accredit-
ed with an important part In the
formulation of campaign policies.
When the death of Chief Justice
Edward d. White created the first
vacancy on the bench that had
occurred during President Harding's
Administration, Senator Sutherland
was considered for the chiefship of
the court. In the end, however, II
was decided that the place should
20 to former President Taft, and
Il was generally understood at the
time that the President would nomi.
nate Senator Sutherland to the next
vacancy. which has now occurred
by Justice Clarke's retirement.
