GODernor Cross May Appoint
 l25 Judges, 8 Commissioners

the situation stood last night there was no agreement on anything and the republican leaders were "shak- ing in their shoes. They fear the passage of patronage on 125 or more judeeslnips and the eight county commissionerships out of their hands and into the lap of 6 democratic governor who since talk ing office has insisted that the right of nominating the judges of minor courts should be his in- stead of that of the members of the house and senate.
 The New Haven county meeting was attended by only nine legisla- tors from the county. Waterbury's legislators were among those ab- sent. It had been planned to have 9 vote passed endorsing somebody for the New Haven county colll- missi0nership becoming vacant Oct. 1st. But there was no agreement on anything, anywhere in the capi- tol so the county meeting was called to order by Senator Julius 6trenilau, a short discussion on a proposed county pension system took place and adjournment was voted without dissenting vote.

 Change of Pace

senator for or against the blll2" Change of Pace
 He conducted the senate lobby inc vestlgation in a somewhat similar manner, employing what the press gallery referred to as quick change of pace"
 AS chairman of tho committee, Black wollldl sit at the long table facing Q witness and engage him in the most friendly conversation. His sharply pointed face would crinkle into a smile that almost hid bis eyes and his voice would wander on as soft as a Dixie breeze, until he had led the witness to the point of the examination.
 Between one question and the next he would be leaning across the table, his sharp ohm thrust out and his eyes Siiapping as he shot ques- tion after question at the witness in an effort to. make his point. Somc- times in the press gallery they called him the ferrete.'
 Not Impressive Figure
 On the senate floor, Black was not an impressive figure as compared to some of the chambers famous de- baters. His blond hair--thin and re- ceding high on his forehead-usual- ly was a little rumpled and some times 1t needed trimming, He wore suits that were quickly crinkled be- cause he Sprawled in his chair and his tie usually sagged to one side.
 But he was credited with being an able sponsor of legislation and could grasp at oratorlcal heights when pressed. He was, so pressed in his final legislative tussle when foes of the wages and hours bill were trying to cut 1t to pieces in the sem ate, and his flnal, brief plea for sup- port was 0 torrent of eloquence in which he recited the plight of workers in sweat shops.
 No Thundering Orator
 His voice lacks the thunder of the senate'S leading orators but he speaks with an intensity that lends fire to his words and gives emphasis to his quick nervous gestures.
 In Alabama campaigns, Black rode about the hills in an old and cheap automobile, sleeping in small hotels and talking to- crowds at any cor ner store, Ills private life in Wash- ington has been extremely modest
 Out of the public eye, he Is a soft spoken man who can discuss intel ligently almost any social or econ- omic question, who lives in an aver. age suburban hous and who has read Marx, "Das Kapital'-among many other economic volumes-fr cover to cover because he wants to know all there is to know on any subject In which he IS interested.

Continued from Page D confirmation, that four had been killed and a score injured in the eA- plosion.
 Navy Yard Quiet
 Marine hospital attaches referred all questions to the office of Rear Admiral Watt. Cluverius. com. mandant of the navy yard, where an aide said no list of the injured or possile dead would be ready flor some time."
 We believe the explosion oc. cured in a steam line in the fire room." the aide said, but I can. not tell you how many were in the fireroom at the time"
 He said he did not believe there was a question of sabotage in the blast.
 The victims were taken to the Philadelphia Marine hospital, near the navy yard.

Labor Unions m
 Death Struggle
tContmued from l'age D

There's going to be c fight" he said.
 At the same time, he said State Rep. Jamesdick, Vernon, a textile union official, automatically had been suspended as e vice-president of the federation because of some jurisdictional conflicts within the textile union.
 Federation Challenged
 Walter P. Garrett, New Haven, CI.O. regional chief, threw down the gage of battle to the Connecti- cut Federation.
 If they bring the fight Into the open," he said, i've of course will fight back. There will be no raid- Ing of tho automobile and textile unions"
 He asserted the campaign of the CLIO. will continue unabated, witt, the setting up of industrial coun- cils through Connecticut at once.'
 The suspension vote of the coun- ell, 1t was said, must be approved by Q federation convention next month.
 Unions with CIo leanings which were busted from the federation in- cluded: Five locals of the Ladies Garment Workers; the New Haven Journeymen Tailors; four eastern Connecticut textile unions; .Amal- gamated Shirt Workers of Connec- ticut; United Gas and Coke Work CTS.
 For months, an undercover bat. tie between ths rival unions, split along craft and industrial lines, kept leaders of the two groups outwardly friendly. but privately antagonistic Each admitted the struggle for su- premacy would begin sooner or later but none sought responsibility foi precipitating the conflict. It wal said letter from William Green president of the American Fedora ton of Labor, prompted local fed eration leaders to evict the GIG from their ranks.
 Nore than 5000 persons were be- lieved affected by the suspension or. der. The unions busted carry & tota of 70 votes in the federation's an. nual convention The federation council did not suspend 18th union, the Corset Workers of Bridge. port-which had CIO leanings-be. cause of the announced intention oi the union to join the federation No one who is affiliated with the CIO will be allowed to belong to the federation" Egan said.
 We do not plan to do any cam- paigning for membership nor to at- tempt to cocrcc labor groups to join the federation. They have a stand ing invitation to apply for member ship, but not if they are connected with the CIO." Members of the council who voted for suspengion were Thomas J. Shea, Middletown, federation president; James Dona- hue, Waterbury: James J. Clerkin. New Britain; John J. Miller, Hart ford; and Perley Hovey, Greenwich. Voting against suspension were Henry Burke, Meriden, and Schub.

 The Dollar Liner President Me- Kinley sailed this afternoon with t20O more American women and children refugees,
 The tender which took the re- fugees down, the river to the liner ran through a stiff fire from Japanese on one side Of the river and Chin csc on the other.
 Tn a later, sally that rapidly de- veloped into the fiercest sort of fighting, Chinese forces flung back the Japanese in the Ward Road section of Shanghai but later were forced to relinquish their gain by violent Japanese counter-attack.
 A Japanese naval attache claimed the Chinese attackers had been forced back from the section, in which many Japanese cotton mills are located.
 The onslaught was started by 3 full brigade of Chinese forces.
 The ferocity of their attack forc- ed a Japanese retreat to the Kung- dah cotton mill. There ranks were reformed and Q counter attack forced e Chinese retreat to the original positions, outside the Jap- anese concession.
 One Jap Officer Killed
 The Japanese naval attache re- ported the death of one officer Lieut.. Saburo Kikuda.
 The United States Cruiser Augus- to, steaming up the river between the lines of fire from both sides of the river, nosed in to the customs jetty off the international settle ment. and, ready for action, stood watch as the tender went down river.

 In the suburbs, Japanese planes bombed the vast Chenju radio station and, for q time, de-commis- stoned the Chinese American equip- ment. Emergency repairs were ef- fected in mid-morning. Fierce as was the battle that ragged today, for the fifty straight day. 1t was believ- ed to be but a prelude for the fight Is to come.
 Regulars Are Landed
 Japanese navy authorities, who precipitated the war here, were close mouthed. But the most reliable in- formation was that large numbers of Japanese regular army men have been landed up the Yangtze river at Q point about IS miles north Of, and directly back of, Shanghai. near Liuhow.
 These men were expected to at- tack the Chinese 88th division, efi- trenched in the northern part of Shanghai, from rear.
 The operation would be identical with that in the 1892 shanghai war" when after the navy started hoStilitieS, the army was called in to end them. and did 50 by attack
