The pledge wan 'voiced after" Charles Ed ward Russell, Socialist hprt mender or the American Commission to Russia, had urged the continuation nf the war until Herman autocracy had suffered a crushing defeat and asked that organized labor stand solid ly back of the nation In Its crisis. Mr. Morrison set at rest any possible doubt on this score, when he said that In war as( In peace times organized labor stands for' the paramount prlnc'plcs of tho Republic "The workers of this country offer them selves Individually and collectively In sup port of the Oovernment." Mr Mnrrlnii de clared He clcprecited the activities nf "small group of labor men throughout the country, who. tipper the, guise nf reprc R<lbR thejr. fellow workers, nre nttempt Ing to hamper the Government."

MORE EXCITEMENT NEAR IN 'BLOODY' FIFTH WARD Deutsch Followers Say Many Warrants Atc Out for Carey Followers Sfc seal ..Tl-l i 7& l i .:., .W fef. .?: There is promise of still more excitement In the --Fifth- Ward. Followers of Isaac Deutsch', the Varo lieutenant who Is trying to wrest control of the ward from James Carey, the McNlchol leader, say that no end of warrants have been sworn out for Carey inen, who, It Is alleged, nro guilty nf various kinds of misdemeanors. Many, of these nrrests. it Is promised, will be mado tomorrow night, which action would keep many Careyltes In Jail during the very Important orlmary election on Wednesday. Numerous jjeai.mgs and, other Incidents kept the Carey-Deutsch feud alive todajC One of the chief topics of controversy was the charges made against registrars of the Seventeenth division by James Conway, who caused their arrest on the allegation that a voter vvbh falHely registered. Tho Carey men declared that Conway was drunk when he made the charge, but Bennet said today Conway was perfectly sober, George Clark, a .TJcutiscli follower, corroborated Bennett, nnd said the lieutenant did not know that such a charge was to be against the registrars. By way of adding to the general excite ment Clark caused the urrest of Andrew Rogers, of 711 South Klghth street. He Bald that the latter threatened to croak him. When Rogers was brought before Magistrate PerM.h, the "Judge" told him he ought to keep out of the Fifth Ward, and held him In $30 ball, llogers wan subse quently discharged. Hnrry Cohen, -known as 'Battling Abe," and Nathan Silverman, his partner, were ar raigned In Magistrate Coward's court as the result of the raid "on September 5. on their nllcgd gambling 'cstabljsbrnijit at 340 South Sixth street. Both were held In J600 ball for another .hearing. ' Although the result of the hearing might be considered almost unimportant, there were sidelights galore. It was" testified that games' and other gambling- paraphernalia were found; that "Abo" had a gun when he was hit on the head with a blackjack by a policeman. Incidentally Lieutenant Bennett, who made the raid, chafed somewhat when Isa dore Stern, lawyer for the defendants, In sisted on cp,UlnK.nlm "leftenant" in good old English style. ' A policeman who testified admitted that Isaac Deutsch was responsible for getting his Job In the police department. He has been on the force only a few weeks. Magistrate Coward evidently objected to the question having been put across by Stern, for he said: "What right have you got to bring Deutsch's name Into this? Didn't he get you your Job (h the Legislature?'" Acoordlng to tho police Stem agreed that such was the case. "I'm a Carey man and .always stick to my friends," Stern Is quoted as saying. Needless to say the courtroom was Jammed. s'M WsoWJ ': V SWEET POTATO CROP SMALL Jersey Farmers Say Tubers Have Not; Grown Above Second Size r fLriJw SWnDKSBOnO, N. J.. Sept. 17.

Dr. Charles II. Wllilts, secretary of Dis trict Appeal Board No 1, of xvhlch John Cailxvalader Is chairman, said nn official statement would be Issued by the board today. Tho statement, it xvas said, will show clearly that tho boards have done their duty desplto lack of assistance from tho Governor In tho matter of furnishing neces sary expense money nnd blanks which vx em badly needed. Doctor Wllilts said: "Adverso criticism to' the contrary not withstanding, many of our local boaids havo done splendid xvork nnd should be given credit for It. Others have not dono so well, but wo feci that publicity may stimulate them to greater efforts, A fexv of tho local boards havo evidently gone over their work xvlth the Idea of 'passing tho buck' to tho district board. In onp Instance 150 appeal claims vxero sent us xvlthout it single notation for our guidance. Also, In soino cases, the order numbers havo been omitted from hundreds of claims. "Our board has mado every effort within tho last ten days to speed, up the work of tho local boards, Wo havo communicated with them by letter, telegram and In per sonal visits to nld them as far us posslblo nnd give Instructions ns to routine pro cedure. Our cxperlonco has made us feel that tho delay complained of by tho Gover nor Is laigcly due to tho fact lhat tho local boards did not know how do their xvork at first."
