LABOR TO CONTINUE
FIGHT ON PAY CUT
Also Votes Condemnation of
Fixing Scale on Basis
of Living Costs.

The American Federation Of Labor
voted today to continue the fight for
restoration of the Government pay scale,
and at the same time condemned the
principle under which living costs are
now used as a pay basis.
The action came on a resolution from
the committee headed by Matthew Vol,
vice president Of the federation. In
recommending adoption Of section Of
report Of the executive council deal
ing with employment conditions in the
Government.
"Under the sub-caption Government
Economy the council presents a COM
prehensive statement Of the efforts Of
the officers Of the American Federation
Of Labor to prevent the reduction of
wages and salaries Of Government en-
ployes which, notwithstanding their ef-
forts, has taken place." the resolution
recites.
White House Call Made.
The report concludes with the state
ment that "the American Federation Of
Labor is driving ahead for the purpose
Of restoring the pay Of the Government
employe. During our meeting at head
quarters In September the members of
the executive council in a body called
upon the President to urge him to re-
store the salary reduction at the earliest
date possible. We urged that the res
toration of the full salaries of the Gov
ernment employees would be in con-
formity with the recovery program"
Your committee is in full accord
with the report Of the council on this
important subject and heartily COM
Grafton Of Labor for the vigorous per-
sistence they have exhibited in the de-
fense of the Government employe. We
recommend that the report Of the coun-
Gil on this subject be approved and that
the efforts for the restoration Of the
full salary and wages for Government
employees be continued"
The report Of the council assails the
principle Of fixed wages according to
living costs as probably the most in
defensible action ever taken by Con-
gress."
The resolution was adopted without
discussion.
Further Action Il Seen.
Additional resolutions dealing with
Government employment will come be-
fore the convention tomorrow when the
Legislative Committee reports. This re-
port will deal principally with restric-
tions imposed by the economy act,
against which . campaign Is to be con-
Quoted.

MINE EMPLOYERS
Frick Company Spurned
Chance to Prevent Blood
shed, Meeting Is Told.
BY the Associated Press.

APOLLO, Pa, October 12-Mrs Gif-
ford Pinchot, militant wife Of Pennsyl-
vania's independent Governor, accuses
the H. c. Frick Coke Co. Of bad faith
In its dealings with labor.
Addressing a huge mass meeting of
Allegheny Valley steel workers and
miners in park near Apollo last night,
Mrs. Pinchot charged that Thomas
Moses, Frick president, deliberately re-
fused to take step that would have
prevented bloodshed in the coal fields.
Six weeks ago, she said, the Governor
pleaded with Moses to keep Frick S
Fayette County mines closed "for just
"a hours more" to prevent trouble dur
ing a strike OF miners.
She quoted the coal company head
as having replied:
There is going to be fighting sooner
or later and we are ready for it,
Moses and Philip Murray, United
Mine Workers vice president, meet to-
day in a second conference called To
effect peace in the embattled soft coal
fields and send tens OF thousands of
striking miners back to work.
With 10 State police and los State
highway patrolmen on duty at the
park, there was no disorder as Mrs
Pinchot delivered a scathing denuncia-
ton Of steel trust officials" whom
she blamed for the wave Of labor un-
rest In Western Pennsylvania.
She accused the corporation Of brow
beating their men, paying them "starva-
ton" wages and forcing them to en-
dure unthinkable working conditions.

said yesterday he believed the missing

where he was stationed. and that the
other pilot was known to have been
threatened.
Westphal disappeared Friday night
after leaving the Union Service Mems
Club. A letter was found later on a
road near Chicago, purporting to be
in Westphars handwriting, which stated
he had been kidnapped. Last night the
navy yard received a telegram from
him saying he had been released In
Chicago Monday after being robbed.
Navy yard officials told Westphal's
wife today they had received no further
word from him, although they had
wired instructions for him to report to
the Navy recruiting station in Chicago.

Rail and Utilities Lists Show
Firmer Trend Than
IndustriaIs.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 26.-Stocks fuc-
tuated nervously at the close Of today's
session, with the buying at times pre-
dominating and at others the selling
prevailing. AS rule the rails and the
utilities did better than the indus
trials.
The market was awaiting vote in
the Senate on the imitation amendment
to the farm relief bill, which is expected
to be taken tonight or tomorrow. 1t
seemed to pay little attention to the
announcement by the President and
Premier Macdonald to the effect that
they had reached a full understand
ing preparatory to the World Economic
Conference, a statement not only i'm
portant, but constructive in the high
est decree.
Traders in stocks, however, talked OF
little else but the outlook for an ex-
panded credit and currency position.
Commodities moved as uncertainty as
stocks Most of them left off lower.
Wheat closed up 1sa34 cent. Cotton
was practically unchanged in the late
afternoon. Silver was weak, off 70a90
points in the last hour.
The market opened fracticnally lower
and Throughout the early trading the
turnover was low. measured by recent
standards However, after the over
night orders had been executed prices
rallied and at noon were well above the
preceding close, with the steels the lead
erS.
Besides the reports of the United
States Steel Corporation and of various
independents given out after the close
yesterday, the market read the Iron
Age estimate that the industry was
operating at 25 per cent of capacity
against % per cent a week ago. Steels
were in demand on this showing. Ma
tional Steel crossed IS in volume for
the first time this year.
Next in prominence were the public
utilities, responding to the favorable
power output statement. For the week
ending April % the figures showed
decrease of only 2.6 per cent from the
total a year ago. On the Atlantic
Seaboard there was an actual gain
over the electricity output at this time
in 1882. Short covering was brisk in
Western Union and in American Tele-

irregularity in such stocks as Amer

as group, can keep the team
constantly supplied with strength
and speed in the vital No. l posi-
tion.
With five Of these backs avail
able and all practically on a par
with respect to running and block
ing ability, it is easily possible to
have two of them in the lineup at
the same time, alternating be-
tween left halfback and one of the
blocking back positions.
For instance, we could place
Capt. Lee Carlin at left half and
Wayne Davenport, another left
half, at the blocking back post.
This arrangement would permit
Carlin to go at top speed without
thought of having to last the
whole game and then switching
jobs with Davenport, meanwhile
both remaining in the lineup.
Carlin Gets Rest
Since the blocking back duties
are not as consistently exacting
as those at left half, you can see
that Carlin could thereby gain a
measure of rest while Davenport
carries the ball-running burden.
In addition to Carlin and
Davenport, other likely left half
backs on the Colonial squad are
Alphonse fluffy" Leemans, Mig
McCarver, and Ben Plotnicki. Nc
Carver is a veteran of last years

With the tennis season nearing
its final stages, Washington again
finds Dooly Mitchell an almost
certainty for top ranking rain
having played havoc with most Of
the local tournaments all season,
it was not satisfied until it COM
pletely disrupted the Wardman
Park gathering. . Frank Shields
appears to be the United States
best bet to bring the Davis Cup
back across the Atlantic in 1884.
. hickey Willis, local boy, who
gained quite a reputation during
the 1888 season with the Univer-
sity of North Carolina, failed to
come up to the expectation of his
friends who picked him to
win. Barney Welsh may be
Dukes best next year ... 1t is evil
dent that the years are telling on
Tom Mangan following his defeat
last week at Wardman Park.
Tom Frydell is still hopeful Of
being named Dukes new tennis
coach although at present there is
nothing definite to be told. Gil
Hunt hopes to regain in 1884 the
laurels he lost this year. Hunt
was the biggest disappointment Of
the past season. Helen Wills
Moody is far from being washed
up in tennis. Bryan Grant dis
puted Frankie Parker's national
ranking, so he challenged frankie
and was beaten deciSively. Don't
be surprised if Ralph McElVenny
is our leading net ace next year.
