DIES ON TRAIN Central LABOR-WET PARTY PREPARES BATTLE Pennsylvanians Reported Grooming Burke to Run for Governor With Republican, Labor and Wets, Washington, June 25.—Representa- tive William J. Burke of Pennsyl- vania, a leader of organized labor, may become a candidate for governor on a labor-wet ticket, according to Pennsylvania republican leaders, whe are dissatisfied with Giftord Pinchot, winner of the republican nominatien tor governor in the May prima § Plans ure under discussion, it was learned today, to form a third ticket te be composed of labor men and those favering the amendment of the Prohibition Enforcement act to per- mit the sale of beer and light wines. This movement {s being quietly stimu- latéd by powerful repliblican leaders and {s expeeted to materialize if Penn- sylvania and the country are plunged into a railroad strike and labor troubles in connection with the coal strike, Burke will not consent to head a third ticket unless conditions such as continued labor troubles between the miners and the operators and the rail- roads and their employes exist. If the present difficulties are removed, it is said that a Jabor-wet ticket {n Pennsylvania would have no echance of reducing the republican majority suf- ficiently to defeat Pinchot. As part of his labor program, Mr. HBurke yesterday offered two resolu- tions in the House., One of them au- thorizes the president to take over the ¢oal mines, operate them for a year and sell the coal at a reasenable profit which would include a profit for the operators. The other orders the Railread Labor Board to rescind thé decision reducing wages effective July 1. Burke, who has been a congress- man-at-large from Pennsylvania six years, received 400,000 votes for the nomination for the United States Sen- ate against Senator Pepper. If he should receive this number of votes in November as a candidate for governor, together with a wet vete estimated at 360,000, republicans dissatisfed with Pinchot say that Burke would be elected. Pennsylvania members of congress who have been told of the prospec- tive move to make Burke a third party candidate for governer, say that such a plan would lead to the defeat of a number of republican congress- men and aid the democrats. RAILROAD REPORTS HANDED TO BARDO Protest of Brotherhood of Olérks Against Readjustments in Var- fous Conditions Forwarded New Haven, June 28.—The protest of the brotherhood of railway clerks on New Haven raiiroad against the readjustments in working and wage conditions promulgated by the U.
