The operators, while no statement was given out, indicated in their conversations that they preferred to wait the decision of Dr. H. A. Gar- field, national coal director, on the price to be charged by retaill coal dealers before taking any action on the question of an increased mining scale. It seemed to be the concesus of both the operators and the miners who would talk on the subject that the conference here, which was to open informally, would be adjournéd to Washington. ; It was stated unofficially that the miners would ask for an increase of 20 cents a ton for pick and machine mining ad icrease of from 40 to 50 cents a day for all day labor at the mines. is- PULLAR & NIVEN GEM LADEN SHOE BOX ROBBED IN TRANSIT Jewels Valued Between $50,000 and | “ $100,000 Tempt Baggagemaster Who is Held as Thief.

T0 AID NATION Local Branches to Be Formed From Coast to Coast—Spargo ' Denies Formation of New Party. Minneapolis, Sept. 6.—The Ameri- can Alliance for Liberty and Democ- racy today took up plans for estah- lishing local branches fro coast to coast in the campaign to bring or- ganized labor up solidly behind the government in its prosecution of the war and to stamp out disloyal and pro-German activitles. The resolutions committee began | drawing up the declarations of the alliance, recently formed for the an- nounced purpose of combatting dis- loyalty, which are expected to ‘“put organized labor right before the world.” John Spargo, former member of the executive committee of the so- cialist party, who, with a number of other leading socialists, left the party because of its anti-war stand, issued a statement denying reports that a new socialist party would be organ- ized during the present conference. “We have a single-minded pur- pose,” he said, “to join with our labor union friends to constitute a perma- nent organization whose only purpose will be the crushing out of expatriates and the enlisting of-loyal support for the laboring masses of the country in rthis war. But the organization formed here will not in any sense be a politi- cal party.” . PERU UPHOLDS WILSON. Chamber of Deputics Votes For Pan- in this city.

Nowhere on earth, save in free America, could there have been such a demonstration to unified democracy. Nowhere, save in Washington, could PRESIDENT WILSON MARCHES AT HEAD | CAPITAL’S DRAFTED MEN OF NATIONAL there be such electric response to the presence and the will of a nation’s chief. It was the president's prayer for the drafted men of America' trans- lated into action. He sent this mes- sage from coast to coast: “This great war draws us all to- gether, makes us comrades and brothers, as all true Americans felt themselves to be when we first made good our national independence. My affectionate confidence goes with you in every battle and every test. God keep and guide you.” ! In token of brotherhood and affec- | tion he marched in the ranks with | the drafted men of the District of | Columbia. They were merely the symbols of, the selected man power of the entire nation. As his journey typified true fraternity, so did the little body of Washington's drafted men typify the youth of America summoned to arms for the welfare of the world. ’ CHINESE CORPS FOR EUROPE San Francisco Paper Informed 15,000 Picked Troops Are Going to Bat- tle Line on East.

' HOME OF OUTCASTS DECLARED UNSAFE “Nobody’s Building” in Bridgeport Longer Open as Abode of Nomad Fraternity. Bridgeport, Sept. 6.—“Nobody's Building” on Cannon street, next to the post office, has been condemned. For fifteen years or more the four- story brick structure in the heart of of the business center has been ten- | antless and ownerless, used only by a succession of squatters who paid no rent, made no repairs and had no responsibility of any kind. Now the authorities have stepped in and placed a big placard on the front doors warning everybodv that the place is in a dangerous condition. Years ago the government wanted the property as an addition to the post office. Negotiations were begun, a price was agreed on, but then a dis- agreement arose. Since then nobod has owned the place. The govern- ment said it had not hought it and would not take it. The former own- er held that he had sold it and he wanted only his money, with interest. The city did not want to foreclose tax liens, for that would make it a three-cornered fight to determine ownership, and if it should be d termined that the government was re- sponsible the property would be free from local taxation and the city’s ef- forts would be wasted. The police refrained from interfering with the squatters so long as peace was main- tained and no evident damage was done. Through all the years during which rents have tripled in price the place has brought in no revenue to anybody, untll now, evidently, the interior is unfit for human habitation and even the half nomads that have heen using it have been warned away. The end of the controversy is not vet in sight. PRATT & WHITNFY BONUS. Three Thousand Employes to Benefit by New System.
