LABOR WILL HOLD
BALANCE OF POWER
IN NEXT CONGRESS
Announcement Made at A.
F. of L. Convention That
1 7 Representatives Will
Carry Union Cards.
FBANK WALSH ON LABOR'S
"COLLECTIVE BARGAINING"
The Insistent demand of labor Is for
the complete, democratization of in
dustry, meaning that every worker
shall huva u compelling vote In the
fixing of his compensation, the hours
of his labor nnd the conditions under
which he shall work.
Labor claims that Justice can not bo
assured except through a freo nnd
voluntary system of collective bar
gaining between employer and em
plojc. Tho meaning of the term "col
lective bargaining" may be had by
paraphrasing tho lines of Charles
Ferguson" the author of "Bellglon and
Democracy": "It Is the machinery de
vised by studious and sclf-sacrlflcing
men toprevent the well-fed from driv
ing hard bargains with tho hungry."
Chairman U. S. Commission on In
dustrial Itelntlons.
November 14, 1914.
It became known today at the con
vention of the American Federation of
Labor that 17 members of the next Con
gress will be union card men. Labor,
therefore, will control the balance of
pow er.
These men are Frank Buchanan, of
Illinois; William Cary, of "Wisconsin;
John Casey, of Pennsylvania; G. G. Hel
vering, of Kansas; Albert Johnson, of
Washington; Edward Keating, of Colo
rado; John Key, of Ohio; David Lewis,
of Maryland; Meyer London, of New
York; James Maher, of New York; John
Nolan, of California; VS. E. Roberts, of
Nevada; Isaac Sherwood, of Ohio;
Charles Smith, of New York, and Carl
van Dyke, of Minnesota.
The Democrats will havo IB more than
enough to control the House.
It Is evident, therefore, that organized
labor, represented by 17 members, can
hold (he balance of power in the House
of Representatives If these members were
to lay aside party dissensions and vote
as a whole on labor measures, or united
In filibustering in order to force conces
sions along the line of labor legislation.
It Is pointed out by delegates at the
convention that the passage and adoption
of the "labor-exemption clause" In the
Clayton anti-trust law was due entirely to
the co-operation and the united stand
taken by the "labor group" m congress.
It Is also pointed out that should the 17
"laborltes" In the 64th Congress continue
this co-operation they would be In a posl
tlon to force many other valuable con
cessions. Delegates said today that there Is every
indication that President Wilson will call
an extra session of the new 61th Congress
next spring to consider labor legislation.
TODAY'S SESSION SHOUT.
This morning's session of the conven
tion was the shortest of the week. Sev
eral resolutions of minor Importance were
read.
The convention adjourned then until
Monday.
Tomorrow the delegates will hold & me

Slty, following close Upon the heels of
a refusal of Pennsylvania trnfllc officials
to accede to demands oft business for
shore betterment, rnn riot In the busi
ness community this morning.
"We have been uniformly friendly
toward tho railroads and this is what
we get for It," said Benjamin Bacha
rach, president of the Chcmber of Com.
merce.
Merchants who are not so close to the
railroads ns the big hotel men of the
beach front are particularly incensed be
causo repeated efforts to prevail upon
the Pennsylvania to build a modern sta
tion In the place of Its antiquated fram
tenhlnal have been fruitless.
Feeling Is particularly strong over the
raising of fares for the third-rail line
frorn Camden to the shore, a return trip
ticket for which will in future cost p.
When the line was first opened with
hourly trains, theare was il.EO.for the
round trip. Subsequently It .was .Increased
to $1.75,, with a decrease of train serv
ice, Now with still fewer trains, the fare
is to be K.
TakingMnto consideration the fact that
it Is possible to ride 10 miles in New
York for a nickel, business men today
said that It would be an ample figure for
the electric train trip, considering the
time consumed. Some professed to be
lieve that the fare advance is a move
to compensate the line for the enormous
bill of damages Incurred when an electric
train dashed from the Thoroughfare
bridge with heavy loss of life, some years
ago. '
Moro optimistic citizens expressed the
opinion that the railroad is after more
revenue to provide for the long delayed
new station.

WHOSE CLOTHING BURNS
Gas Range Again Proves Unlucky for
Mrs. Surrick.
A pair of corsets probably saved the
life of Mrs. Ella Surrick, tf years old,
of 2313 North Boudlnot street, whose
kimono caught fire ns she was lighting
her kitchen stovo today. Her hair and
clothing were burned. She Is In a critical
condition at the Presbyterian Hospltnl.
Mrs. Surrick had Just lighted the gas
range when her Bleeve caught fire, John
McClenlck, a neighbor, answered her
screams, rolled her In a quilt and
quenched the flames with water. At the
hospital It was found all her clothing
except her corsets had been burned off.
The gaa range has been unlucky for
Mrs. Surrick of late. Two weeks ago her
clothing caught fire In the same way, but
she beat out the flames herself. Last
week she slipped and was severely bruised
by hitting her head against the stove.
Her husband, William Surrick, is a travel

Opposed by I. W. W.
NEWoniC, Nov. H.-An unidentified
man, believed to be nn Italian, tried un
successfully to explode a bomb In tha
police court In the Criminal Courls Build
ing In this city nt 10 o'clock this morning.
Tho deadly missile, with tho fuse still
spluttering, wns quickly grasped by Pa
trolman Rlohard L. O'Connor, who
snuffed out tho spark nnd throw the bomb
out of the window. The thing landed on
the streot close to n street car, but did
not explode.
Before O'Connor orpther court attend
ants could get hold of the bomb-thrfftyer,
tho man fled through a door Into the main
corridor nnd escaped to tho street, being"
swallowed up In tho throng of persons
assembled In the building and on 'the
sidewalk at the time.
Tho man deliberately lit the end of the
fuse as ho sat on a sent in the third row
of the court room. Magistrate Campbell
and other court oftlclnls were within a tew
feet of the anarchist, but did not observe
anything unusual In bis movements until
O'Connor made a dash for tho fuso. The
room wns crowded with spectators and
witnesses, and the steel cage was filled
with prisoners at the time. The news of
the attempted explosion nlmost caused a
panic and threw the crowd Into the wild
est confusion.
Inspector Fnurot, head of tho Detective
Bureau, and Owon Eagun, an Inspector
of the Bureau of Combustibles, hastenod
to tho scene of the attempted ullage. An
examination of the bomb flhowed It con
tained many cartridges of 32, Si nnd U
calibre, nnd a largo quantity of guncotton.
The charge was sufficient to wrock the
court room nnd kill or wound many
spectators.
Mngiatrnte Campbell has been denounc
ed by ccrtajn factions of the Industrial
Workers of the World and by member
of the church of tho Social Revolution
becauso he sentenced Bouck White, head
of the latter Institution, to serve six.
months In prison for trying to start a

Five Italian suspects and one Spanish
suspect. wero released by the police be
cause there was no evidence to cohncct
