Pittsburgh Labor Union and

cially Strong For Him
Pittsburgh, May 2. — Tenth and
Eleventh Legislative district Repub
licans gathered yesterday at the
headquarters of the Straight Repub
lican Ticket Committee to meet Sen

and Representative James F. Wood
ward of Keesport. The former is
seeking the Republican nomination
for lieutenant governor and the lit

tendance from both sections of the
county.
Plans were made yesterday to
have Senator Beidleman and Mr.

and Washington counties to-day. The
former county will be visited first.
To-morrow these candidates will gol

Beidleman Friend of labor \
Senator Beidleman made short!
speeches at both district meetings,
telling the committeemen of his leg
islative record and requesting thsm
to inform the electors. In his eight
years of service in the Legislature he
has been an unusually active mem
ber and many business and labor
organisations of this country have
found him their friend in the pas-1
sage and defeat of legislation.
Mr. Beidleman has done much for
organized labor and it is showing
that his assistance is appreciated. I
The railroad men are especially s.p- !
peeiative of his work for them. |
When Dr. M. G. Brumbaugh v.-as a ]
candidate for governor it was Senn-I
tor Beidleman who obtained a pledge
from him that if an effort was made
to repeal the "full crew" act tlio bill
would be vetoed. The pledge was In
writing and it was kept.
While the Tenth Legislative dis
trict organization was being ad
dressed by Mr. Beidleman. Mayor E.
V. Babcock paid his initial visit to
headquarters. He went into the
meeting and made a short speech
for the whole state ticket.
A number of local candidates call
ed to meet Mr. Beidleman and Mr.
Woodward. They reported good sen
timent in their districts for the
whole ticket headed by Senator W.
Q. Sproul for the nomination for
governor. Mr. Beidleman received
callers at the William Penn Hotel
last night.

By Associated Press
San Jose, Cal., May 2. H. Stein

here early to-day until he became
unconscious, then he was tied to a
tree, and later was taken in an ap
tomobile by an organization known

known here to-day.
George Koetzer, who last night
was tarred and feathered by mem- j
hers of the organization,was held
in jail to-day for his own protection.
OVer the telephone to-day one of the
Knights said:
"This organization has eighty-two
members in San Jose and vicinity,
with branches in San Francisco,
Oakland, Stockton, Santa Rosa, Palo
Alto and other places. We are go
ing to stamp out disloyalty. We give
;> fair and impartial trial and if the
evidence warrants we turn the man
over to the military or civil author
ities."
Senator Believes Cyclops
Was Blown Up by Enemy
By Associated Press
Washington. May 2. Senator
Phelan, of California, told the Sen
ate Mines Committee to-day he be
lieved the missing American collier
Cyclops, probably was blown up by
an explosive charge, put in her
cargo or manganese by Germans.
"I was told by naval men that
she was loaded at Bahia, Brazil,
with ore," he said. "And that the
port was full of Germans from a
cruiser and other ships interned
there. Opportunity to put a plant in
her cargo was ample."

freedom of their homo land. Bohe
mian and Slav detachments now are
facing Austro-Hungarian troops
along the sectors in Northern Italy.
Apparently these units have been le
cruited from former residents of the
dual monarchy and from deserters
from the enemy ranks. Austro-Hun
garian commanders, who have many
thousands of Czechs and Slavs in
their units, are said to bo fearful of
the effect thft move may have on
their troops. This and the fact that
the Czechs at Prague and elsewh-sre
and the Slavs in Carniola and south
ward have become openly hostile to
ill© Austrian government may ex
plain why the enemy offensive
against Italy has been delayed. Ber
lin has heralded and urged an offen
sive but Austro-Hungarian attacks
Have not yet developed.
May Pay Is Quiet
Although Constantinople and Ber
lin recently announced the repulse of
the British westward across the Jor
dan, General Allenby's men east of
the river have captured nearly 300
prisoners in a successful attack
against the Turks south of Es Salt,
toward which the British are ad
vancing. , Mezrali, west of the Jor
dan, has been occupied and Arabian
troops along the Hedjaz railwav re
cently have taken more than 500
prisoners.
May day apparently passed quiet
ly in the central empire. Few news 1
Ospatehes of Wednesday's date, how- 1
ever, have been received from with- |
in Germany and Austria Hungary. |
