"Who brought the gunmen to Phila delphia?" is the question upon which District Attorney Samuel P. Rotan to day declared his investigation is focused.

"I hold them both for muider." said the Magistrate, "and a'.so for aggrevated as sault and battery. In view of tho general Indignation and a desire to show tho public where th blame tests I hold them both equally guilty." Assistant District Attorney Maurer was the "star" witness.

A fund for George Eppley's mother has been started, and a monument for the mar tyred detective has been suggested. When the city was too shocked and shamed by the heinous frncas in tho "Bloody Fifth" to think, tho good Father McDermott went out nnd discovered that a seamy-faced, white-haired woman In the murder of the detective, had been deprived not only of a loving nnd devoted son, but also of her bread and butter.

Notice vtai served today by the Govern ment that labor and business must bo pre pared to make mutual concessions nnd sink their differences during the war, if the war is to bo successfully conducted. The "ulti matum" was brought to tho war convention of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, In resslon here, by William II. Wil son, Secrotnry of Labor, who addressed n group of the business men present at the Hotel Breakers. Two other osslonR were held simulta neously this morning, one In the convention hall and the other In the Marine Terrace of tho Garden Pier. Disparagement of tho Sherman nntl-trust law by Alba IJ. John son, president of the Baldwin Locomotive Work?, marked tho one, and discussion of banking nnd nnance under war conditions signalized the other. "In the last few months" said Secretary of Labor Wilson, "there have been some who claimed to represent labor, especially In the West, who have been saying that the thing for the laboring man to do Is to re strict production, to destroy Its machinery either by habotnge or by any other method, and thus to make It so unprofitable for the employer to operate his plant that he will nbandon It and thus give tho wage earner an opportunity to take It over. Thnnk goodness, this plea has nfct appealed to many. Fortunately, our system of educa tion has taught tho wage earner thai the butden of small production is borne by the, wago earner himself. The bulk of our wage carncrfl realize that tho reason the Amer 1cm workman Is the best paid In the world Is becnuse he produces more per day and per ear than any other workman In the world.
