Ell PASO, Tex, Nov. 26.-
Plans for marshaling the forces
or organized labor for nation
wide fight against any attempts
to slash wages Of workers were
formulated today by the executive
council Of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor in session here.
Orders Unions to Resist.
Labor chieftains expressed the
belief that with all indications point,
ing to returning property in the
United States wages should go up
ward.
Acting on reports that certain in
dustries are contemplating cutting
envelopes, Federation leaders. upon
the advice of Samuel Gompers, vet.
eran president, instructed all unions
to resist these attempts with full
force.
To Fight Wage Cuts.
IF wages are cut, we won't
work" said Matthew Vol, vice
president of the federation, and
member of the executive council.
We do not want industrial war
fare" he added. I'VE want peace
and harmonious cooperation pe.
tween the employers and the work
ers. To that end the federation
shall dedicate itself in the coming
year. But. if there is any wide
spread cutting of wages as has been
already indicated in some quarters,
there will be only one thing for us
to do-strike, and / assure the EN-.
ployers that all our unions will
strike II we are forced to.
1t seems logical to us that as
prosperity returns, wages should go
up, not down. By cutting wages,
the employers themselves would be
opening the way for another great
industrial depression. In most in
stances, wages are too low now"
The council also cleared away the
maj details of the federation's an
nual convention which just closed.
All leaders agreed today that the
convention was the most quiet and
peaceful in twenty years. Not a
single bitter fight reached the floor
ana all measures advocated by the

Prosecutor, Curious at 0du
Tales, to Question Pastor
and Son After Holiday

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 26
With the Rev. C. v. Sheatsley and
his four children scheduled to re-
turn to their home here today,
County Prosecutor John r. King,
chief investigator in the Bexley
furnace mystery was expected to
re-examine members of the family
to clear up if possible several
mooted points in the circumstances
attending Mrs. Sheatsley's death
and subsequent discovery of her
body in the parsonage furnace.
Confer With Coroner.
A conference was held this morn
ing between Prosecutor King and
Coroner Murphy behind closed
doors. King said that no member
Of the Sheatsley family will be
questioned here before Friday. He
said none of the officials working
on the case and no person repre-
senting them, will meet the Rever-
end Sheatsley or his family and
that he does not propose that they
shall be prevented from observing
Thanksgiving day unmolested.
He declared that as soon as the
reports Of Lonog and Brundage are
submitted to him and he has had
an opportunity to analyze them, they
will be made public.
He stated that, thereafter, in
quiries made at the prosecutors Of
flee or any other official informa-
ton dealing with the Sheatsley case
will be answered in writing, so far
as newspapers are concerned, at
least. No oral statements, ne de-
clared, will be accepted by him as
official.
Close Quiz Planned.
Unless there is a change in their
plans. the Sheatsleys were to arrive
here this forenoon from Paris, Ohio.

ly had declared his intention of
motoring to Columbus today If the
weather was not Indictment. Harry
Sponseller, brother of the furnace
victim, was expected to accompany
the Sheatsley on their journey from
Paris.
Prosecutor King indicated the
family will be questioned closely
concerning their actions following
the finding of the body and after
it was established beyond doubt
that the furnace victim was Mrs
Sheatsley. They will be asked to
explain why no effort was made to
extinguish the fire. it was said
Questions to Be Asked.
Questioning of the minister has
brought out that after viewing the
remains of his wife in the fur.

and went outside the house to call
neighbor. without attempting to
smother the flames or reclaim his
wife's body.
