Party Conference Considers Use
of Industrial Action to
Enforce Aims
WANT CONSCRIPTION ENDED
By (ho Associated Press
JSoutaport, England, June 23. The
main Interest of the outside world In
the nineteenth annual conference of the
Labor party, which opens In Pouthport
today, lies in the question before it of
uln Industrial action to secure polit
ical alma.
An Influential section of the leaders
of the triple alliance of miners, railway
men and transport workers has Ions
b,een In favor of exercising the power
of the alliance to compel compliance
with the demands for the nbolition of
Conscription, the withdrawal of troops
from Russia, the release of conscientious
objectors and other objects sought.
These leaders were deeply disap
pointed at their recent failure to induce
the parliamentary committee of the trade
union congress to call a special confer
ence of the trade unions to discuss the
proposals.
The action taken by the executive of
the triple alliance last night in decid
ing to convene a special conference in
London July 23 to consider what ac
tion should be taken to compel the gov- I
eminent to comply with th three prin
cipal demands mentioned, was a step in
dependent of today's conference.
The far-reaching importance of any
decision placing in the hands of the in
dustrial unions thp power to enforce
political demands by means of strikes,
la recognized by the executive commit
tee of the labor conference which, in a
report to or preseniea louny, expresses
thi view that if labor is to institute a
l a L- ..J .-. i
precedent in British industrial history i
It Is imperative that the trade unions1?,
which adopted the new policy and whose
finances presumably should be imolid
In carrying it out, should realize the!
responsibility which such a movement i
entails, and should themselves deter
mine the ground plan of the new cam
paign. The executive body itself does not
make any declaration for or against the
proposal, leaving discussion unfettered.
Among other matters awaiting the at
tention of the conference is the organi
zation of labor in anticipation of the
next general election, which, in the
opinion of many observers, is not far
distant.

a man today for swearing out a war
rant charging the larceny of an auto
mobile against two boys, who, it was
testified at the hearing, had returned
the machine to his garage and paid
him money they earned with it after

"It is no small matter to make such
a serious charge against these young

decided to take the machine home, they
aid.'
At Fox street and Hunting Park
avenue they ran out of gasoline, they

the money taken in, deducting only th
amount paid for gasoline.
TEe boys were held in 5300 bail each

GEN. PERSHING AND HOOVER
GET DEGREES AT OXFORD
Haig, Joffre. Orlando and Padereivshi Among Other Notables
Honored by English University Ceremony Impressive
By the Associated Press
Oxford, England, June. 25. General
Pershing and Herbert C. Hoover rep
resented the United States today in a
distinguished company of noted men
from the Allied countries who were
honored by Oxford University with de
grees of doctor of civil law. The cere
mony was the culminating feature of
the annual Encaenia, or commemoration
exercises.
The event was rich in ceremonial
pomp. A handful of American army
students who have been studying here
were interested j ectators. Among those
who witnessed the ceremony was Mrs,
Hcover.
Earl Cunon, chancellor of the uni
versity, presided, and solemnly went
through the prescribed formula of pro
posing the degrees to the house. After
the house had as soremnly granted the
degree, the recipients were summoned
in turn by the public orator.
Notables Receive Degrees
Those upon whom the degrees were
conferred included General Pershing,
Mr. Hoover, Baron Makino, head of the
Japanese peace, conference delegation;
Marshal Joffre, of France; Vice Ad
miral Sir David Beatty, Field Marshal
Sir Douglas Haig, Major General Sir
Henry Hughes Wilson, chief of the
British Imperial staff, and vice Admiral
Sir Rossalyn Wemyss, first sea lord.
Former Premier Orlando, of Italy, and
Premier Ignace Jan Paderewski, of
Poland, received degrees by proxy.
Each of these men, as they were pre
sented with their degrees, bowed their
thanks and took their seats. No
speeches were made -by those to whom
the degrees were given, and the cere
mony was concluded quickly.
General Pershing and most of the
other notable persona present came
down, from London by automobile this
morning.. All the Invited personi as

for Several Days
MAY LEAD TO GANG CAPTURE'
Seven stolen automobiles have been
recovered bv the "automobile squad"
of the local detective bureau in a gar
age on Sulfonl street, between Ilnce
and Vine Mreets, West Philadelphia. ,
The raid was made after detectives
lay hidden in n nearby house and
watched the garage for several da.vn
I It is believed the raid will lead to the
I rounding up of n band of automobile
thieves that has been operating sue- '
ruefully throughout the Kast for sev
era! months.
Lieutenant Joseph Letrange, head of
the "automobile quad." directed the
raid. He was assisted by Detectives
Reckman. Frend and Jeffries.

tt"Iyes Kane, who conducted the
place, wa recentlv sentenced to five

garage has been raided on several oc
casions and stolen automobiles re

The name of the man operating the
place now is withheld in order to give
the authorities n better opportunity to
catch members of the gang The fact
that one of the nutnmobiles recovered
was stolen from Springfield. Mass., in
dicates the widespread activity of the
band.
The other machines recovered were
the property of Philadelphians. One
was owned by Samuel Taplinger. a real

It was stolen from fifteenth and al-
t streets June 1R.

The raid on two garages is another
step in the plant of the Detective Bu

Washington to break up the gang. More
important arrests are expected in a few
days. The police are searching big
hospitals in the east for the lender of
the band, who is said to be undergoing
treatment.

Sheldonion Theatre, where the cere
mony was held.
The public, most of whom were un
able to gain admission to the building,
were packed along both sides of the line
of march, keen for a sight of the celebri
ties. The crowd cheered those whom
they recognized
Both General Pershing and Mr.
Hoover were greeted henrtilv when the
group filed into the theatre. Every
seat in the building was occupied. The
great audience arose as the distin
guished visitors entered and proceeded
to their places on the rostrum. The
organ played "God Save the King."
Setting Emphasizes Impressheuess
The impressiveness of the occasion
was emphasized by the stately beauty
of its setting. The deep crimson of the
carpets and hangings contrasted vividly
with the black robes of the students and
the dark oak wall panelings.
After the degrees were conferred the
recipients settled back in their scats to
hear a young Oriel College student, win
ner of the Newdegate prize for English
verse, recite a composition eulogizing
France. The chancellor then dissolved
the convocation and the 'procession
moved out of the building to the music
of a stirring march.
American students at Oxford aban
doned their plan fop an informal re
ception in General Pershing's honor be
cause of the uncertainty of his ability
to leave army headquarters and come
to Oxford for the ceremony. Most of
the American students left here yes
terday for Liverpool and Brest on their
way to their homes in the United
States. Only thirty of them remained
here to participate in a big victory
pageant to be given by the university
beginning tomorrow.
After' leaving the theatre the party
proceeded to A1J Souls College to at
tend a luncheon given by officials of
the university. Besides those partlcl

The U-117 is one of the exhibits

machinery of a craft which was bound
to be turned over to the Allies so soon.
She was built early in 1018, never did

; exceptional chances to score, which it
is not known that she ever did.

out. Even her crew sleep topdecks as
much as possible these hot nights.
They agree that the U-117 is sea
worthy and fast, and furthermore that
they've got her number, but they also
agree that they don't care particularly
if she stays in the back channel for the
rest of her days. Which, according to
the latest information, is true. The

had been on the water only a few
minutes when they saw teachers' on the
bank watching and calling them to com
in. Hester Urged the boys, the,y said,
not to go in to shore till the teachers
left, so she would not be recognized.

shore, when she suddenly reached out
for a floating leaf and caused the boat
to capsize. The boys tried to save
Hester, bringing her to the surface

finally lost. Ernest Zoller, teacher of
manual training at the Hanna school,
went out in a boat, and rescued Funk
houser and Berger. The girl's body
hns not been recovered.
