HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Stonington Man Stops Car on Cross
ing, But Express Shavcs on Radia-
tor and Headlights.

Stonington, Jan. 24.-Ernest Fritz
and four companions had a narrow
escape from death or serious injury
late yesterday when their automobile
stopped close to the New Haven rail-
road tracks as the Pittsburgh express
was approaching. The radiator and
both headlights of the automobile
were taken off by the locomotive as
the train went by but otherwise no
damage was done. The accident was
said TO have been due to one of the
crossing gates getting out of order.
The gatetender waved his arms and
Fritz was able to stop just in front
of the tracks.
Fritz said he would ask the rail-
road to return his headlights, as no
trace of them could be found.

Delegates Chase Foster ties Into Street and Set Upon Them Take Refuge Behind Reporters.

Scranton, Pa, July 6.-Communism boring from within and other aims and tactics of William z Foster re- ceived their most significant and spectacular blow at the hands of an American labor organization when two Foster organizers were forcibly ejected from the tri-district conven- ton of anthracite miners and se- verely beaten by a mob of delegates who demanded that they be lynched when they tried to upset the conven- ton here this week.
 The two Foster agents, Joseph Manley and J. P. Mccarthy, were saved only by seeking the protection of representatives of the "capitalistic pres" so hated by Mr. Foster and his associates. The newspaper men stood between the terrified Fosterites and their assailants and enabled them to flee for their lives across the court house square of Scranton. Manley is Fosters son-in-law.
 Strike Improbable.
 When the wild scenes in the con- vention hall had subsided the hard coal miners proceeded to vote out a list of demands for new wage and working agreement, for negotiation with the operators, to succeed the present agreement when it expires September I. The negotiations are to take place within a few days, and many indications were that they would be concluded without a strike.
 As forecast, the demands proved to be substantially the same as those sought from the operators last year. The miners want a two-year contract at wage increase of 20 per cent. for contract miners, equalization of day rates, the "eight-hour day under ground" weighing of coal instead of payment by the carload, and all the other features embodied in the de- mand of the last (Shamokin) tri-dis- trict convention
 Copellini Backs Lewis.
 Only one change was made by the delegates in the demands as submitted to them by their scale committee. The committee has recorded an increase of $I a day for day men, who number about $ per cent. of the anthracite mine workers, but this after debate, was changed to $2 day At present
