All Factions Join Against Ex
pert Classification of
Body's Employes
HINT DEFEAT OF BUDGET
Administration and Vnrc members of
Council Joined hands at this afternoon's
session to vote down the proposal of j
James A. Develln that employes of
Council be classified by Grlffcnhacen &
Associates.
Mr. Dovelln. who was supported only
by Councilman llurcli, chnirmau of the
finance committee, argued that it would
only be fair for couucilmanle employes
to be classified, as are other employes
under the city government.
Councilman Horn, who generally
forms the independent trio with Uurcli
nnd Develln. declined to support Mr.
Dcvclin'8 resolution.
"It would be a nitv." said Mr. Deve
lln, "to allow the work of Griffenhngen
& Associates to end without placing
our employes on the name basis.
"This resolution merely requests that
the work nnd salaries of our employes
be classified and standardized.
"It does not follow that wc will be
obliged to adopt the recommendations
of the experts.''
Replying to Mr. Develln, Councilman
Limcburner said: "Very few of our
rouucilmen were in favor of this work
of firlffenhngen & Associates. It was
pushed on us by the charter. It ought
to stop now.
"Council can take care of itself. Why
should (Jrlffcnhugoii & Associates be
permitted to come here and override
Council. I can't see It."
(Vtincilimtn McCunch, one of the
members from South Philadelphia, in
opposing the Dovelln resolution, de
clared standardization ot salaries is a
fune.
Councllmnn Oaffney, floor lender on
the Vnre side of the chamber, said that
the Legislature clearly indicnted that
employes of Council are not to be under
civil service and that therefore he would
vote agaiust the Dcvelin resolution
Threatens Experts' Rudget
Councllmnn Horn created a surprise
when he sakl "We are going wild over
civil service.
"The Civil Service Commission, I nm
informed." said M-. Horn, "is pacing
salarics'to pensioners. It might be a
good idea to standardize employes of the
Civil Service Commission. 1 nni told that
they pay school teachers who are al
ready paid salaries by the school board
to act as examiners. I question that
taxpayers want to pay double salaries.
"I am in favor of civil service, but
the way things arc golug I am getting
disgusted."
Councilman Limeburncr, again tak
ing the floor, urged that directors of
departments make up two budgets, one
based on the (iriffenlingen report, and
the other on their own iden.
"I do not think." said Mr. Lime
burner, "that the CIriffeuhngcn budget
will receive much consideration from
this Council."
Councilman Von Tagen said that the
emplojes of Council nre doing their
work satisfactorily and that It would
be folly to meddle with a machine that
is functioning perfectly.
Replying to the general onslaught on
his resolution. Councilman Develln
snid that he hardly expected "undent
friends like McConch and Limcburner
to change the habits of a lifetime."
"Fear Light," Sass Develln
Mr. Develin then referred to the Bible
and said that "they fear light whoso
was are evil and dark."
President Wegiein, addressing Mr.
Develin, said he hoped he was not re
ferring to members of Council.
"You are perilously near the edge,"
said Mr. Wegiein.
Amid general laughter, Councilman
Dcvelin said that tho president was
alwnvs willing to lend a helping hand.
In closing his remarks, Mr. Develin
said, "If you're afraid of the informa
tion we will get, vote ugainst the reso
lution. '
Loan Dills Introduced
Councilman llurch introduced nn or
dinance providing for u temporary loan
of SL'.OOO.OOO. This loan Is to mukc up

PRIEST SUBDUES RIOTERS
BENT ON LYNCHING NEGROES
'This Place Is Sanctuary;' Father Burke Tclh White Men Who
Had Invaded Church in Seeking Victims,
and Mob Disperses
By the Associated Press
Chicago, Sept. 21. One smnll priest
with n smile nnd the word "sanctuary"
on his lips did more than squads of
police last night iu preventing the
threatened lynching of three negroes
who took refuge in his church.
Ho is Father Thomas Burke, pastor
of St. Gabriel's Church, in the stock
yards neighborhood.
When Father Burke reached the
church n mob estimated to number
nearly fiOOO was packed about the
doors nnd hundreds more had already
entered in search for the negroes. Forc
ing his way in. the priest shouted :
"What is this sacrilege? Who are
the. rowdies that storm the house of
God?" ,
Some one explained.
"That makes no difference," the
priest cried. "This place is n sanctu
ary. I order every person in the build
ing to leave immediately, and quietly."
The crowd broke nnd filed out. The
last man had left when u police riot
squad arrived. Taking the police in
side. Father Burke called to the hid
den negroes to come out.
There was a stir and one of the men
stepped out from a confessional. A
pile of cassocks in n robing room
yielded a second, nnd the third appeared
from behind the nltar rail. One knelt
nnd kissed the priest's hand as police
spirited them out a side entrance.

Sure of Michigan
Continued from race One
high spot politicnllj. nn eruptive point
of modern Industrialism, just ns Mil
waukee is a high spot politically us a
great center ot the foreign vote nnd as
Indlanupolis Is another, because In
diana is more politically minded than
any other state.
Take labor the labor vote is one ot
the great potentialities this time or
some other time. Somethiug is hap
pening to labor, whose political effect
has not been fully considered and can
not perhaps be wholly guessed. The
automobile Industry ham been checked
bv the shortage of credit; dealers can't
float loans to buy cars. All manufac
turers here except Ford and Dodge
hnve been morn or less affected. He-
ports current elsewhere would lend one
to suppose there haa been some laying
off of workmen. The less efficient have
gone. There has been no cutting of
wages, though outside this industry
there have been one or two temporary
shutdowns, which may lead to a re
hiring of men at lower rates.
Employment Ileduced
The extent of this retrenchment may
be gotten from these figures. Members
of the I'mploycrs' Association reporting
to headquarters here employed nt the
peak in April a little less than 200,000
workmen. Today the same concerns
employ between 17.000 and 18,000 less.
The cut iu the automobile industry is a
little over 10 per cent.
The effect of all this seems to be a
certain prudence among workmen. It
has not produced auger or radicalism.
It lias stopped extravagant buying,
promoted saving. In industrial cities
a rapid growth of savings deposits is
renorteel within recent weeks. Work
men coming in with their money arc
usked the reason for the increased de
posits. They say "these good times
and high wages may not last forever:
it is a good thing to put by u lU-lc
money while they do."
Employers report that labor is more
efficient. This is partly due to the
weeding out of the less efficient aud
partly due to u different spirit unions
those remaining at work.
Now politically the effect of this pru
dence on the part of labor is not easy
to estimate, especially as Detroit Is nn
open-shop town. The automobile indus
try, for example, has only one union,
that of the bodymakers. Union labor

University's First Registration
Day Finds the Campus
All A-Bustto
SENIORS ACT AS GUIDES
"Ask us we'll tell you" said the
, big signs on n score of information
booths around the Pcnn campus today.
And "nsk us, kid, we'll steer you'
straight," was tho grcotlng in per
haps more classic phrase when uttered
by grave senior committeemen, which
welcomed the timid and verdant mem
bers of the first-year class as they
carried the old carpet bag Into Broad
Street Station, the Reading Terminal
or West Philadelphia.
There were "committeemen" to nrcct
the freshmen nt every railroad station,
to "tag" them so thor wo.uldn't get
lost nnd to lead them by the hand to
the Houston- Club or the "dorms," or
to send them on personally conducted
tours of the West Philadelphia college
boarding house district In search for
rooms.
Member of the senior class, nbly
aided and abetted by the sophomore
"vigilance committee," formed the
committees which met tho freshmen nnd
started them right on their college
careers.
This was tho first of the registration
days at the University of Penusvlvnnla,
and the campus showed all the familiar
signs of hustle and bustlo that ore
characteristic of tho first day the crowd
comes back to school. Expressmen made
up for a lean summer, nnd the piles of
luggage never say baggage, freshmen
piled mountain high in front of the
dorms' entrance nt Thirty-seventh
street nnd Woodland avenue.
All morning there was a line a half
square long outside tho bursar's office,
which has been moved to a former store
on the other side of Woodland avenue,
and off the college campus. It broke up
nt lunch time, ns tho freshmen's desire
to "pay their shot" nnd get It over
with yielded to tho demands of healthy
nppetites and sent them scurrying off to
tlie White House or the Dutch kitchen
for a little provender.
In College Hall there were other
upper clnssmen on hand ta steer the
milling freshmen into the right one of
the twenty lines that waited to get
schedules nnd rosters. And at the
Houton'Club the Y. M. C. A. was
going full blast nil day to get the en
tering men lined up for the winter's
activities.
Tomorrow there will be sight-seeking
tours oi tne campus for tho freshmen.
,l "ere will be no motorbuses, but ugll-
" "ulu,:" "'" icn m iroui oi crowns
of fresluneu nnd explain how "here we
have on our right historic Logan Hall."
Though the freshmen ure being raised
by hand, they are not permitted to get
the impression that they amount to any
thing much in the life of the campus.
The upper classmen merely have adopt
ed humanitarian principles, as it were.
They lire spending u good deal of time
und trouble helping the "fresh" get
acquainted, but ns an antidote to possi
ble self-sufficiency the sophomores hnve
placarded the campus with big' signs,
settitm forth the timc-lionorcd rules.
Want's more, these rules nre coine to
be enforced to the letter this year. They
..... ,i, ,.i,i t,,ii.. nn,,, ,i. , i.

Finally two federal ngents walked
cautiously up to tho vchiclo and ques
tioned the driver concerning his cargo.
He answered quite frankly and truth
fully that the box contained tools for
men who were working on skyscrapers
near tho Custom House.
And meanwhile movie machines
clicked.
"Big Bill" Edwards, who received
the bomb warning, was early at work
today and remained at his desk at the
hour set for the explosion. He declared
that "everything tho law nllows" had
been done to safeguard the lives of the
workers In the building.
The custom house was given a
thorough houscclcaning from basement
to dome nnd made safe "from the inside
out," Mr. Edwards said. Suspicious
looking packnges were opened nnd cor
ridors wero littered with the rem
nants of this hnsty survey. Persons
carrying bundles were hnlted at the
doors and obliged to receive a gunrd's
permit before being allowed to enter.
Shortly nfter noon nil women em
nloyes nnd some men were sent home
trom tne customs house. Colonel Dan
Id Porter, of the internal revenue de
pnrtment, permitted nny employes to
leave who wished to do so. The hun
dred former service men in his office re
mained at their posts. Heads of otiiei
