News of the World By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1870 ' HALLORAN SEEKS SUPPORT, PAONESSA GIVES PROMISE; TROUBLES ALL IRONED OUT Hardware City Club isl Believed to Have Set- tled All Differences Within Ranks of Party Gorbach Is Severely 'Criti- cized and Police Board Also Comes in for Strong . Arraignment. State Central Committeeman A. Gorbach came in for a round of cen-| sure for his attacks on Mayor A. M. Paonessa’'s reported candidacy for lfeutenant governor; the board of police commissioners and the admin-' istration was attacked for its failure to recognize Capt. Thomas W. Grace's 28 years of service in the election of \ chief; those responsible were ‘crabbed” for an alleged slight to friends of Joseph M. Halloran who called on Mayor Paonessa last week; then, following this intermittent sput- tering of fireworks, the Hardware City Democratic club at its meeting last night .pledged, with Mayor Pabnessa, support to Joseph M. Halloran's can- didacy for the first congressional dis- trict nomination, P. S. McMahon Heard. P. 8. McMahon wanted the club to join with him in disapproval of Nr. Gorbach’s actions. The latter has come out flatfootedly as opposed to Paonessa being a candidate. He feels that such candidacy would lessen Mr. Halloran's chances for securing the nomination. Mr. Gorbach has not| hesitated to publicly express his views, | going so far as to state that he would use his influence to have another! nominated for lieutenant-governor. Mayor Atwater of Bridgeport, is re- ported to be Mr. Gorbach'’s choice. Police Board Criticized. James D. McKenna, a member of the town committee, brought up the question of the police chief, and also | assalled those responsible for slight- ing Halloran's friends at the mayor's| office. The story going the pounds is that a committee: of Halloran's friends| called on the mayor to determine whather or nor he is to run for lien tenant-governor, Not only did they| not receive any information, it is re-| ported, but the lights were turned off and they were obliged to grope in the dark, both for information and for.an exit. J. M. Halloran Expects Support. Mr. Halloran was in attendance at| last night's session. He recalled to ‘the minds of those present that he has assisted in the election of Mayor A. M. Paonessa last April, and that, since he had given the mayor his sup- port, he would expect the mayor's as- sistance in putting across his can- didacy for congress. Mayor Paonessa assured the gather- ing that he would live up to his promises and support Mr. Halloran for congress, and he called upon his friends to do likewise. Paonessa’'s Attitude. The mayor, while he has not made up his mind whether or not to be a candidate for the state office, feels that such candidacy would not in any way affect the candidacy of Mr. Hal- loran. He points out that the offices will be filled at two separate con- ventions with different men deciding upon the nominees in each cas.e. All Harmony Again. While the meeting was a rather warm one at times, democrat leaders | predicted today that the difficulties that have existed for several weeks | past have been practically wiped out | and the party is said to be more united today than for several weeks. There is apparent satisfaction on the part of at least some followers of Mr. Halloran that he can count upon the| administration’s backing. The breach has been particularly wide on this| subject, but the mayor's promises re- | iterated last night are said to have clarified the question materially. | | NE w ONE KILLED AND FIVE OTHERS: ARE WOUNDED Penna.

Chairman Hooper of the board, was {in private conference with raflroad presi- dents again today, however, fol- lowing the flat refusal of a com- mittee from the carriers yester- day to talk to the strikers so long as they remain away from the shops. Mr. Hooper declined to discuss his plans but B. M. Jewell, president of the shop- men still maintained a hopeful attitude. The strike leader de- clared he believed the roads would soon relent and get down to business with the strikers’ representatives. | | | | Chicago, July 13.—B. M.

Violations Claimed. The telegram which also was signed by the six international presidents of the railway shoperafis declared that the strikers had walked out because wages fixed by the labor board were in violation of the provisions of the transportation act and because of the violation of the labor board's decision by the railroads. Puts Blame on Roads. The strikers insisted that no ine terruption of commerce or interfer- ence with the mail had been caused by an unlawful act by the shopmen. The telegram lays such interference directly to the attempt of the raily roads to operate with {ncompetent workmen. President Jewell and his associates reiterated their desire to co-operate in any effort to bring peace but declared that up to the present the rail executives had re- fused to meet the representatives of the employes. Text of Communication. The text follows: “It appears from your proclamation of July 11, that incomplete informa- tion has been furnished you concerne ing the present dispute between the railroad operators and employes. “Ninety-two railroads have violated transportation acts or decisions of the railroad labor board in 104 cases. | These involved not only contracting out work in shops, but also wage de- |creases, interpretations of rules and Iright of employes to elect their own representatives.
