Thrown Down in Fight
on Mobre
By GEORGE NOX McCAIN
Tomorrow is the last registration
day.
There arc thousands of indifferent
citizens who havo neglected to register.
Before primary election day has come
they will have, cause to regret their in
action. Because the campaign s vials of:
wrath "arc to bo opened next week.
Startling itnd sensational develop
ments will come. I nm of the opinion
that they will V of n character to
aroiisoj tho deepest resentment in the
hearts of thousands. No matter how
indignant the non-rcglstcred voter may
feel, ho will lie able to voire his in-
fllenntion in words alone, lie cannot
vote.
So it is well to register !
Crisis Next Week
NeJt week will mark n crisis in this
memorable campaign. I am afraid the
ermine will bo trailed in tho mire.
Names, and dates, and amounts will be
dragged into n pitiless blaze that will
seek out the innermost prannies ot
men's careers.
Even today job printing presses arc
running and campaign orators arc being
coached and fed up with material. It
will be a time to sound the depths of
inen characters.
The regular or' Vare organization is
battling for its life. It is on the de
fensive", out In tho open. Discretion,
fair words, everything have been flung
, to the wind in this! gruelling contest
whoso outcome will perpetuate or end
orev'er1 tho present regime.

thusiasm. It is expressed in n re
strained satisfaction rather than loud
words.
Murdoch Kcndrlck, Congressman
Moore's manager, assures mc fiiat the
llepublican Alliance and the Town
Meeting party have bona fide nctive
qud loyal precinct organizations in
more than forty of the forty-eight
waids.. ,
It is Hot n temporary organization.
It is n practical political clement work
ing along strictly practical lines. They
have been drilled now for three years,
some of them for twenty-three years,
in the practical ways of campaigning.
Moore's Men Aro Practical
They aro not high -brows or amateur
politicians. They aro not theorists.
They are the kind of men 'who know
thnt every vote counts.
Mr. Kcndrick tells me that they are
s prepared to ngut tlie devil with fire.
They arc fighting the Vare organization
with their own weapons. But these
workers are going to be decent about
it as far as possible.
Horace Vv". Reilly, secretary of the
Town Hec'ting party, who has been
.active in the Independent political game
for fifteen years, not only corroborates
Mr. Kcndrick's general statement, but
goes Into raoro elaborate detail. Mr.
Ueilly, knows every Independent worker
in tho city. There: aro tome 'interesting
facts that he disclosed, viz:
Tho men not only in charge of head
quarters work, but right down to the
precinct worker, know tho tricks of
the trade. In previous campaigns there
was more or less dilettantism. Too much
highbrow stuff. An excess of zeal in
reform.
Equal Vare Men In Efficiency
Mr. Iteilly asserts that In some yards
tho Independent organization Is superior
to the Vara or regular Republican or
ganization in point of efficiency.
"If you At any onovc!so think that
practical politicians aro not handling the
Mooro campaign let mc call your atten
tion to tho fact that there aro men just
as resourceful and clever as any one on
the other side" he said.

Strang Ordered Back to Jail
Strang was remanded to Moyamensing

"Bail Is for tho purpose of produc

PRESIDENT TO ACT
IN STEEL DISPUTE
Will Call Conference Between
Company and Unions to
Avert Strike
HEEDS GOMPERS'S5 REQUEST
By the Associated Press
Washington, Sept. fi. President
Wilson has agreed to undertake to
britig nbout a conference between
representatives of the steel wfcrkcrs and
of the United States Steel Corporation
in an effort to.avcrt a threatened strike.
The President was asked in a tele
gram sent Kim today by Samuel Gom
pcrs, president of the American Fed
eration of Labor, and the committee of
steel men, to say whether a conference
could be arranged before next Tuesday
when the presidents of the twenty-four
Intcrnaoual unions In tho steel in
dustry will meet here to take such
action as they deem necessary.
The telegram follows:
"The executive comm'ittcc represent
ing" the various international unions in
tho iron nnd steel Industry met today
to consider the awful situation which
exists in many of the iron and steel in
dustry centers.
"The coercion, the brutality employed
to prevent men and unions from meet
ing in halls engaged, upon private
property, in the open air, the thuggery
of the corporation's emissaries, the
wholesale discharge of numbers of men
for no reason than the one assigned.
thnt they have become members of the
union, have brought about the bitun
tion, but it is exceedingly difficult to
withhold or restrain the indignation of
the men nnd the resistance that they
declare it is their purpose to present.
"The executive committee, relying
upon the case as presented to you last
week and your earnest declaration to
endeavor to bring about a conference
for the honorable and peaceful adjust
ment of the matters in controversy,
have thus far been enabled to prevail
upon the men not to engage in a gen
eral strike.
"Wc cannot now affirm how much
longer we shall be able tq exert that in
fluence, but we urge you, even in the
great work in which you are engaged,
(o give prompt attention to this most
vital of issues; for if the men can no
longer be restrained it Is impossible to
foretell what tb'e future may hold in
store for an industrial crisis which may
ensue and frustrate the project which
you have worked at for peaceful and
honorable adjustment' of industrial af
fairs In our country.)
"A meeting of all presidents of the
twenty-four international unions in
the steel industry., has been called to
laiCC JliUtU UU -fcUCDUUJ, UCHl-UUCI f,
in Washington, to take such action as
they may deem necessary. May we not
have your reply on or before thot time
as te whether or not a conference with
the steel corporation Is possible?"

TO ENCOURAGE ADVICE

Proposed Conferees
A "people's cabinet." composed of
representative business and professional
men, labor leaders, women unil others
working on the development of Phila
delphia, is on the program of Con
gressman Moore, candidate for tho Ite
publlcnn nomination for Mayor.
Mr. Mooro's "cabinet" announcement
was made in nn interview todnj
"Nationalize Philadelphia" fe now
one of the slogans of Congressman
Moore.
"Tho Mayor's officc should be n meet
ing place for tho big men of tho com
munity ns well as for those who are
interested in local improvements," said
Congressman Moore. "One of the sad
'commentaries upon the present admin
istration is that nobody of consequence
except tho Vares seems to have called
upon Mayor Smith. If he had thrown
open the doors ot his office or had he
been ready to receive and consult with
good citizens generally, he might hnvc
been a popular administrator.
Itlankcnburg Starts Practlco
"When I was in tho Mayor's office
for a brief spell, some yeiirs ago, I
urged the Mayor to rally good, strong
citizens nround hirn. Hut very little
was done in this line until Mnyor
Itlankeuburg got in.
"I begged for it four years ago when
the leaders decided upon Smith, because
Philadelphia, owing to the evil things
haid about it. abroad, was running down
unwnrrantedly. Intrinsically, Phila
delphia has no peer in moral, patriotic
nnd industrious fiber, but politically,
especially during the present adminis
tration, with rnnk political methods
and a Mayor dragged into the courts, it
lin become almost a byword.
"We must stop nil this by doing big
flilnirH in a be way; in tlie open, nnu
not In secret, for the public welfare
and not ' for ,ni political or contractor
bosses. I shnll welcome to the Mayor's
office, where I know most ot them will

The issue is now one of phraseology,
nnd no one supposes for a moment that
the phraseology coming from a commit

In committee of the whole many
amendments will be suggested. In this
process the moderate rciisionist Be

That is 11 fact which will tend to maki.

But, us a mutter of fact, the Demo

When the treaty is on the floor pre

In bnemy Territory S
In Missouri the President found n
siiuatiou as regards ratilicatlon of th v m
lieacc treaty without nu exact parallel ic3
in any other state. In the treaty- -intifying
body at AVushiugton the stats ,
is leprcsented by Senator Iteed, the ,'
only Democratic senator who has '.taken
n definite stand for the treaty's rejee- v
tion, and Senator Spencer, one of the"
llepublican senators' who have declared
themselves generally friendly to it and
have agreed ou a bet of reservations as
a basis for its acceptance.
In St. Louis Senator Reed recently s
made an uddress bitterly assailing thjs
treaty ana witliin tbe next few -weeks.
Senator Johnson, of California, a Kf'
publican member of the foreign relgJ
tions committee, and others are 'ex
pected to address opposition meetings v
here. In uddition to his address here,
tonight the President is to make one
address in Kansas City tomorrow morn- )

Members of the President's party do?
not expect him, however, to make anjj.
direct reference to the political features
of the bituation in Missouri. In a brief
talk from his car at Ittchmond, Ind.,
yesterday he made It clear that he doea
not consider the question a political one
in any respect, saying he did not appeal '
for the treaty as a Democrat, but as an
American.
