Adler, twenty-four, son Of Max
Adler, millionaire vice president
Of Sears Roebuck q CO., faced
arraignment in Englewood court
today on charges preferred by
relatives of Miss Sylvia Wager,
fifteen-year-old Milwaukee girl.
Escapes Mob Violence.
Adler narrowly escaped mob
violence Saturday night when he
fed from the home of Miss Wag-
er's aunt, Mrs. Julian Liberman,
pursued by relatives Of the girl
and neighbors. He was placed
under arrest, and when released on
bond a police guard was stationed
at the Adler home to prevent any
further attempts against him.
His bond was fixed at $1,000 on
each OF three charges-carrying
concealed weapons, contributing to
the delinquency Of a minor and a
statutory charge.
Patrolman Gibbons, who arrested
Alder in a store where he had fled
from the Liberman home, said the
irate aunt of the Milwaukee girl
had Adler In a corner and was try.
ing to gouge his eyes out"
According to the patrolman, Adler
told him that he and a friend, San
ders Cohn, took the Wagner girl
and Miss Emma Eckhaus, for a ride
Thursday night. At lonely spot
the car was halted and Cohn and
Miss Eckhaus got out for a walk.
NeighbOrs Join Chase.
The girls aunt said Sylvia told
her that Alder overpowered her
while they were alone in the car.
Alder told the patrolman that he
received a telephone summons to
the Liberman home Saturday and
that he took a revolver because he
feared trouble.
He said that the argument waxed
warm after his arrival there and
that he drew his revolver and
backed out of the house.
Mrs. Liberman followed him and
her calls for help attracted neigh
bors who joined the chase.

Finder Of Alleged sos. 900 Of
Bergdoll Guards His
Wealth Closely.

HAGERSToWN, Md, Aug. 81.
Not willing even to trust his
money to a bank for safekeep-
ing, Lee Houser, reported to have
dug up $1O5,000 near Viewer
ton last Thursday, has reburied
it in the Businesses Of the nearby
mountain country, it was learned
today.
Seeks To Retain 1t.
Always reticent and somewhat Of
q recluse, Houser, is giving no
satisfaction to the scores of neigh
bors and visitors who have en-
deavored to obtain details Of his
fortunate find other than to make
them understand he win strenu-
ously fight any attempt to wrest
the fortune from him.
While there is evidence indicating
that the money is that of Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll, who told the
Federal authorities he had buried
$105,000 in this vicinity during the
world war, there is also a story in
circulation that the money may
have been buried by Union Army
paymaster during the Battle Of
South Mountain during the civil
war.
If the later story Ia true 1t will
bear out the contention of many
that the first report that the money
found aggregated $4,000 is more
accurate than the latest estimate Of
100000 which is thought to be
based on the conclusion 1t Is the
Bergdoll fortune as buried intact.
Houser found the money last
Thursday in a tin cracker box
new roadbed constructed in the
heart of the Maryland mountain
country, four miles from historic
Harpers Ferry, Va.
He told friends there was only
/ $4,000 in gold in the receptacle.
Then he left town. This afternoon
he returned and said:
Ten thousand is small compared
with the amount / really found"

And now the money belongs to

LABOR WILL NOT BE LED

The labor movement differs from
all other movements in one vital re-
spect-it tolerates no leaders.
1t refuses to be led 1t will en-
trust it's destiny to no individual.
There is not man alive who can say
to it with any hope of success: "You
must come this way! Whithersoever
l choose to go, you must follow"
At various times attempts have
been made to take the labor movement
in tow and reduce it to the state of
something that obeys will imposed
upon it. In vain.
Ambitious persons have sought to
make it subservient to their interests
have felt the lust and pride Of
power surge within them, and being
selected as it's honored servants, have
lost their heads and given themselves
the airs of masters, strong enough to
strike out a course of their own and
drag the movement after them.
Ignominious failure has been their
fate:
Labor will not be led. No man can
take it where he nleases. 1t is the
maker of its own destiny. 1t hews
its own path. 1t decides upon it's own
goal.
The way of progress is strewn with
the skeletons of those who have sue
cumbed to the temptations of egotism.

is DEMOCRACY BUNK?

Mussolini, boss of Italy, says dem
ocracy is bunk. He says Italy and
Russia are proving it. What he likes
is a big machine that does what he
wants it to do.
Mussolini came into power because
he found way to organize enough
force to put himself there. He's proud
of his achievement. One reason why
he could sweep into power with force
was because democracy in Italy wasn't
we'll enough organized to function eff
fectively on its own account.
No dictator can grab power by force
where the masses know how to oper-
ate democracy and where they are
literate and understand issues up to
the minute.
Mussolini made his latest declara-
tion of faith in autocratic power at an
interesting time. He'd just been talk
ing to Gary; and the International
Chamber of Commerce was in Rome,
also. Maybe these things Inspired
the boss of the black shirts.
Anyhow Garv is pleased with Mus
solini and the black shirts.
Now we are told that black shirts
are being organized in America. But
somebody ought to whisper to Musso-
lini that Gary takes those black shirt
ed Italians and eats 'em alive in his
steel mills. Gary loves the Italians
in the steel mills-until they learn to
speak English.
Gary-Lenine-M ussolini-stfange
but perhaps natural combination.
They resemble each other so much in
being unlike America and in hating
freedom, democracy and human pro-
gress.-Cinc. Labor Advocate.

VOTE TO Defer
STRIKE ACTION
Textile Workers viii Await the
Result of Another Wage
Conference.
DEMAND INCREASE IN SCALE
Employees Seek Fifteen Per Cent Ad-
vance--Vote of the Various Unions
Concerned Showed Wide Diff
ference of Opinion.

threatened strike Of the textile
workers who are members OF SIX
locals affiliated with the Fall River
Textile council was averted by vote
of the operatives. Four Of the six
locals voted to defer action until after
April 20 when another wage confer
ence will be held with the Fall River
Cotton Manufacturers association.
The vote was on the proposal or
the manufacturers made at confer
ence with the council that action on
the councils demand for 10 per cent
wage increase be deferred until April
20 pending the outcome of a second
wage conference.
Only three Of the six unions voted
in favor Of the manufacturers pro-
posal. They were the yarn finishers,
the spinners and the carders. The
other three locals, the slashers, weav-
ers and loom-fxers, voted against de-
ferring strike action and then pro-
ceeded to take q strike vote.
The slashers voted 81 to 30 in favor
131 to strike, but the loom fixers' vote
lacked nine votes Of the necessary
two-thirds to carry as favOring a
strike, the vote being 166 to "a.
The three locals which voted to ac-
cept the manufacturers proposal did
not cast ballots on the strike proposal.
AS a result Of these recent develop
ments the situation remains un-
changed, in so far as the Textile coun-
Gil is concerned, until April 20.
The United Textile Workers OF
America, which has demanded wage
increase of 29k per cent, decided at
a meeting to await the developments
from the meeting between the Textile
council and the manufacturers. The
manufacturers have refused to recog-
nize the United Textile Workers, and
the two union organizations have been
fighting for control of the situation.
