Large Employers of Labor Ask
Assurance That Their Con-

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept.
10-Demands for a general

Attorney General Daugherty OBJ
tanned his injunction against the

morrow.
Neither Samuel Gompers nor the ten
others Of the executive council made
any official statement concerning the
probable outcome of tonorrow's session.
Expressing their individual opinions,
however, council members without ex-
ceptions were strongly opposed to a gen.
eral strike, although they were unani-
nous denouncing the Injunction "blow
to the ran crafts and a threat to all or
ganized labor"
The. labor chiefs are united, they as
sert in the belief that too much uncer-
tainty has already been aroused In the
nations Industrial life by a statement
of Mr.. Gompers at washington which
was interpreted by some as a general
strike threat.
Scores Of kilograms
Since then scores of kilograms, it is
said have been received demanding the
general strike.
At the same time large employers Of
labor throughout the country have be-
sieged the federation officials with re-
quests for assurance that their contracts
with individual labor unions will not be
cancelled through any nation wide walk
out.
1--WE believe the American public is
entitled to know where it stands and I
predict that a formal assurance that
the American Federation of Labor con-
templates no general strike will be one
of the first act of this council said a
member of that body today.

GREEK ARMY IS
BEATEN BADLY
BY The TURKS
All Members of Greek High Com
mission Take Safety Aboard
English Battleship.
MUSTAPHA KEMAL PASHA,
IS LOCATED IN KASSABA
Ten Thousand Refugees in Mu-
dania and Constantinople
Crowded-Complete Disaster.
tBy This Associarsa rrs.s,

CONSTANT1NOPLE, Sept. 9
The Greeks have lost the bat
tie around Smyrna, and the
Greek administration in Ionia
last night. All the members of
the high commission headed by
M. Stergiadis are on board the
British battleship Iron Duke.
The Greek army has been
hopelessly beaten. The occupa-
tion of Smyrna is expected to-
night or Sunday.
Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the
Turkish Nationalist leader, has
established headquarters at
Kassaba. He has invited the
allied and American consuls to
proceed there with the purpose
of arranging the taking over of
the city with a minimum of dis
order. The meeting was fixed
for two o'clock this afternoon in
Kassaba.
Hositilities ceased today. NaziIi,
Alden and other towns were burned.
The greatest of confusion reigns in
Smyrna. A wireless dispatch broadcasted
by the Angora government announces to
all the complete annihiIation of the
Greek army. Greek headquarters has
been transferred to Cheseme opposite the
Island of Mitylene.
The Greek troops are being rapidly
evacuated by vessels.
The allies have published a proclama-
, tion in Smyrna urging the population TO
maintain order. 1t promises that the
allies will secure guarantees for the pro-
lection of the minorities. The allied as
surances, however, have not had any
effect on the terroriZed population. The
Greek Patriarch this morning telegraphed
the Arch Bishop Of Canterbury in London
and Premier David Lloyd George to use
their good Offices in favor of Christians
in Anatolia.
The Greek losses as far as it has been
possible to ascertain them w to the pres
ent time, are total, except for the third
army corps. which is believed TO be with
drawing from Brusa to Panderma, with
all it's material.
A wireless dispatch from one OF the
allied warshfps at BIudania says the
Turks have taken Ghemlek and Bruss.
Ten thousand refugees are masssd in
Mudania. It is not known where they
will 60 Constantinople is being over
crowded.
History is said never to have recorded
so complete a disaster as that the Greeks
have met with. 1t is asserted that Aus
trials defeat in the Caporetto during the
world war is as nothing compared with
the debacle Of the Greeks.

Friends Hopeful
While anxiety as to Mrs. Harding's
condition was evidenced throughout the
day by the White House staff, some Of
the many intimate friends of the family
who called during the day were ex-
tremely hopeful, basing their view of the
situation both on the continued absence
of any new unfavorable symptoms and
on the assurances that Mrs. Harding
was relatively free from pain.
The medical chart as reported from
the sick room tonight showed a slight
increase in temperature from that given
in the noon bulletin when 1t was 100. The
respiration also had increased from 50
to S6 and the pulse from 1O2 to 116.
There was no comparative analysis
made of these conditions by the attend
ing physicians although it had been
pointed out that the ailment from which
Mrs. Harding was suffering, like most
diseases might be expected to show Ger
tain variations in it's progress during the
day and night hours without such chang
es having a necessarily proportionate af
feet upon the general condition.
Postpone operotIon
The postponement Of the decision as to
necessity for surgical relief also was
seized upon by many as grounds for
, optimism, though it was known that such
O. step was regarded by many exper-
iieenced practitioners as an emergency
measure. DR.. Charles Mayo remained
at the White House during the night DR..
John Finney who came back to Washing
ton today from Baltimore left shortly
after the night bulletin had been issued
nv Dr. Sawyer, and which had been
approved by all the physicians in at
tendance. It was explained that all OF
the doctors would be IN or around the
white House throughout the night.
Consultation Of all the physicians on
the case began today as soon as Dr.
Charles Mayo arrived after hurried trip
from Rochester and continued with
scarcely a break, into the night The
specialist pausing only briefly for
luncheon and dinner. Laboratory charts
from previous tests were supplemented
bv additional data, the preparation OF
which was hurried today. D.
Admire Forttude
Runninz through the sad overtons
which enveloped the White House today
was heard constantly expressions OF ad-
rriration for the unusual pluck of Mrs.
Harding and the fortitude displayed by
her husband, who in all the long vigil
since her illness became serious, has
never been beyond call Of the room on
the northeast corner Of the mansion
where she is confined.

Half-past eight and finally 8 o'clock
came, and there we're only 128 persons
in the great auditorium which the
management had expected to pack with
some 1900. The scattered audience
began clapping for the performance to
begin, and the artists back stage pro-
tested that it was unfair to ask them
to sing or play at all before such a
gathering. From the stage even the

Of them were in the back rows and the

clared to-day that the Attorney Cen
erals Office will not participate in the
trial Of William Allen White, EN-
poria editor, for displaying fifty-afty
posters expressing sympathy for the
strikers during The shopmen's strike,
it was learned to-day.
Mr.. White was arrested shortly after
the poster incident and charged with
violation Of the state industrial court
act. His close friend, Governor Henry
J. Allen of Kansas, brought about his
arrest. and after several postpone
ments the case was set for trial on
November az.
The Attorney General said he did not
bring the action and would not prose-
cute it. He Is said to have announced
he did not believe there was any law
for conviction Of White under the
facts.
Mr. White, however, demands trial,
and is depending on Governor Allen
to give him an opportunity to test his
point ii, the courts.

case until it has been tried and ap-
pealed to the highest possible court"
