U. S. OFFICIALS TAKE HAND
IN NEW YORK CAR STRIKE
Labor Secretary Expected to Make
Personal Inquiry
WASHINGTON. Sept. 11. Washington
officials today were gravely concerned over
the labor outlook In New York. The fact
that the American Federation of Labor has
espoused the cause of the striking carmen
and that President Samuel' Gompers per
sonally has assumed direction of tho strug
gle means, officials here say, that unless
the strike can be checked soon It may
spread throughout the country.
By direction of President Wilson the De
partment of Labor has taken a hand. Sev
eral of Its experts already are on the
ground, and It Is expected that Secretary
Wilson will go. there In the near future.
Inasmuch as the Issues molcjd between
the Interborough Rapid Transit Company
and Its men the transportation company
responsible for the Inltla: strike center
around the so-called master-and-man con
tracts, organized labor Is Intensely inter
ested In the outcome.
At the offices of the American Federa
tion of Labor here It was said that the un
derlying points of difference affect every
labor union In the country. The proposi
tion of making Individual contracts with
men. It was said, recently was Indorsed at
arlous meetings of manufacturers as the
"Ideal way to cheak the spread of unionism."

SPIDER'S DOUBLE-BARRELED TACTICS
GIVE FLOURTOWN BETTORS PAUSE
Insect Spun a Sure Win for Democrats and Then Per
mitted Its Destruction Now the Republicans in
Flourtown Say "Put Your Money on Us"
An educated spider with decidedly Dem
ocratic tendencies disturbed Flourtown.
Heretofore, spiders, centipedes, ants,
fleas and other Insects have remained neu
tral In regnrd to pollt cs, despite the fact
that their names were used In campaign
mudsllngtng.
nut this spider In Flourtown was more
than an adjective or a noun. He was of the
species one sees when prospecting with a
shovel In a coal bin on a winter night.
Henry Lower, who lives along the Beth
lehem pike, discovered the spider whllo
walking through his grape arbor. The In
sect was In the midst of a web in which
ho had woven In fairly good 'handwrltln'"
the names of "Wilson and Marshall."
Lower gasped
"Wilson's elected," he uttered.
To clinch matters In this direction, he
noticed that the spider was orange black
In hue Pr ncetoYs actual colors. As Mr,
Wilson was president at Princeton before
being Governor of Now Jersey, lower ut
tered a jell and ran all around tho neigh
borhood, lis told everybody to put all the
dough In Flourtown on Wilson's; chances In
the coming setto with Mr, Hughes.
Several farmers of Democratic tendencies
and others, too, followed Lower back to the
grape nrbor to seo the political spider. Hut,
alas I somo organization must hs,ve come
along In tho meantime. The spider's web
had been torn to frngmenta and looked ai
though It had been hit by a gas bomb,
while Mr. Spider himself wns trlng to tie
himself together atop a nearby post.
Tho Republican farmers say the acci
dent portends a Republican victory, and
tho people wilt be forled up to the last
minute.

The Stroud Pianola at $550 gives you a player
piano with all the patented Aeolian features. This
instrument contains not only the Themodist, but even
the world-famous Metrostyle patent, which invention
has caused such eminent critics as Paderewski and
Rosenthal to pronounce the Pianola as "the best, un
surpassable, supreme."
In all, 312 patents protect the Pianola from imita
tion, but yet here is a style in the Stroud at a price much
, lower than that asked for undeniably artless imitations.
Terms as low as $3 per week will be accepted on the
Stroud; and even your piano will be accepted as part
payment.
Remember, in purchasing the Stroud you secure an
instrument made completely by the great Aeolian Com
pany, the world's largest piano manufacturers.
