Fog Hits Chicago;
Il" Trains Collide;
Taxicabs Get Scarv

A near-panic resulted here TODAY
when an express elevated train, JAM
med with passengers en- route to
work, crashed into the rear end OF a
local, hidden by a dense fog which
enveloped the city in a blanket of
darkness. Windows in both trains
were shattered and passengers fought
each other for exits until guards were
able to restore order. No one was
injured.
SO dense was the fog that taxi cab
companies ordered all service except
IN the downtown district suspended.
All traffic was hampered and "slow"
orders were issued on all railroads
entering the city.

WOMEN WILL NOT
LEAVE The
PREACHERS ALONE

"This case ought to be a lesson to
the church vamps Of America to let
their pastor alone"
The speaker was Mrs. Leslie An
derson, wife of the pastor of the
Evangelical church of ST. Joseph,
Mich, whose plan was to end his life
because of church scandal yesterday,
ended when he was struck down by
an automobile here. Mrs. Anderson
arrived at the bedside of her husband
late yesterday. Today she pledged re-
newed faith in him and had censure
only for chose women in every church
who develop a strange love for the
preachers"
For the last two years, Leslie
never knew a moments peace" Mrs
Anderson said today. This woman
followed him everywhere. She de-
clared her love for him. She was so
shameless that she threw her arms
about his neck in public. And this
woman thought my husband loved her.
It is such women in churches all over
the country who are forever causing
dissension and church scandal"
Scandal Could be flushed.
BENTON HARBOR, Mich, Sept.
1S.-"We back our pastor, Rev. l.. r.
Anderson, with our unqualified moral
and material support and should he
wish to return to his passionate here,
we invite him warmly and cordially
to do So"
Secret Covenant.
This statement Of the board of
trustees Of the Evangelical Church
whose pastor, Rev. Anderson, lies in
jured in a Chicago hospital following
his attempt to commit suicide as a
result of a church scandal, was made
public today. II was drawn up at a
secret meeting last night with presid-
ing Elder G. B. Stroh of this district.
The statement regrets the unfor-
tunate publicity" which has attended
the affair and suggests that had the
pastor consulted with the board the
scandal" could have been satisfactory

recommended non-concurrance on the
Labor Party resolution, President
Johnston pulled the usual bunk about
how these Communists destroyed the
socialist party, and those resolutions
come from the same factory. How
ever, he was careful not to go into a
long denunciation.
He stated that the next gathering OF
the Conference for Progressive Poll
teal Action would no doubt form a
labor party, and therefore was sue
cessful in having the resolution de
feated, but the vote was very close
Delegate Slaven's Local 119, Rhode
Island, led the fight for its adoption
and he very ably pictured labor's ex
perience with so-called friends from
the time of the Ludlow massacre and
up to the present. He warned the
delegates not to be too overenthusias
tic on LaFollette.
He concluded his speech by stating
that labor must look forward and
fight not only for higher wages, but
for the complete control of the means
of production. His remarks were
greeted by tremendous applause.
AmaIaamation Comes Next.
The question of amalgamation will
no doubt create a spirited debate
The majority Of the railroad deIapates
will no doubt vote in favor of this i'm
portant resolution. A small meeting
of some delegates supposed to repre-
sent railroad men was announced by
President Johnston.
Delegates Barnard Cortez, from Chi
cago, and Lester, from Montreal, in
formed the delegates that it did not
represent the rank and file. A meet
