British Attache Asserts Lack of

INIMICAL TO LABOR, HE SAYS
There Is "linger that the agitation

Lm, an attache o the British em
bassy at Wabington. The colonel .was
bis way o thc capital today follow
ing the Lincoln Day banquet in thc
Bcllcyuc-Stratford.
"It seems to me," he said. ' and re
number I am not speaking officially,
that the newspapers and the people in
this country show too much tendency
to lump as Bolshevists every one who
has a socialistic theory of any sort what
ever. That is dangerous.
"If vou go too far along those lines
tou will repress free speech, which is
.legitimate right of tho people. If you
So so vou will arouso against you tho
real labor of the country. The real hon
fSt laboring classes should have their
freedom of speech. You arc risking the
tnrning of thc Federation of Labor into
til. socialist ranks if you go too far along
"As for Samuel Oompers. I consider
him a real power for good in the coun

ter The Federation of Labor can do
more to put down bolshcvism than any
other one thing in the, country.
Speaking of thc steel strike, Colonel

Tudgc Gury had assumed n positron more
in accord with thc middle ages.
There Mill be no Insolvency upon the
part nf Great Ilritnin or France, he
said. IJotli countries may have to delay
interest payments on loans a short
time, but would work out their own sal
ction. Tho exchange situation, lie said,

is, of course, serious,
"I lmvo been nartic
the great intelligence of your working
classes," he concluded. "They nre well

In events far more so than is the case
in Europe. Men of that type, if pron
eily handled, will never adopt Bolshevist
theories." ,

ILL MAN SAVED IN FIRE
Friends Grope Way Through Smoko
and Carry Out Invalid
Timely action by Vincent Dcnaio and
Benjamin Stotts saved Peter Jones from
probable deatli todajr during a fire at
1418 North Second street. Groping their
way through smoke and flame, the men
gained entrance to thc room of Jones,
who was ill, and carried him to safety.
The fire is believed to have been stnrt-
cd by the ilamc of u gas stove igniting
n curtain, a passicfby saw smpH0 com
ing from the window nnd informed Do
nolo, who occupies thc first floor. Stotts
is u roomer in tho house.
After saving Jones the men extin
guished the flamei, and when tho fire
men arrived there was little for them
to do. The loss was small.
PHILA. STUDENT WEDS
Francis T. Hobson Marries Walter
Camp's Daughter at New Haven
Mis' Janet Camp, only daughter of
Walter Camp, the football expert, was
mariied jesterday at New Haven,
Conn., to Francis Thayer Hobson, of
this pity.
Thc wedding took place nt thc home
of the bride's parents, with members of
both the Camp and Hobson families in
attendance. Tho Rev. Henry Wise
Hobson, of Cambridge, Maes., brother
of the bridegroom, performed tho ceremony.
A suggestion that the dhcctoi of
public works could well follow the ex
ample of New York and clear important
streets in thc center of thc city of snow
and ice, by night shifts of men, was
made today by John Wnnnmakcr.
Philadelphia." lie writes, "still
struggles helplessly in her snowstorm
shackles which endanger thc use of
automobiles, and leave her streets an icy
wilderness nt various points."
Notwithstanding tho efforts of trolley
crews, according to Mr. Wnnamnkcr,
conditions make it impossible for thc
cars to take care of the city's trans
portation problem.
"In New York city," according to
Mr. Wannmakcr, "15,000 men of the
street-cleaning department, by nil-night
concentration of effort, even employing
store clerks to work nt night, cleared an
important business center of snow and
ice, thus opening up arteries of travel.
"In the absence of warm rain, could
