Mooney and Warren Billings. This action will only be taken delegates to-day said. If federal intervention and other means adopted to procure the desired relief fail. The convention concluded its four day session last night and adjourned. It authorized the raising of a fund of $1,000,000 to carry on a cam paign of education to liberate the labor leaders and to promote the general strike. It is planned to finance the movement by levying an assessment of fifty cents on each member of organized labor in the country. The convention adopted the pro gram recommended by the 'lnterna tlonal Workers Defense League to secure the liberation of Mooney and Billings which was presented to the delegates in the final report of the committee on resolutions. It pro vided that a commiteee of five labor representatives be named to go to Washington and ask Presi dent Wilson and members of Con gress for federal intervention. The committee will ask that a special assistant United States attor ney general be appointed to obtain the release of Mooney and Billings habeas corpus or other means in order that they may have netf trials In a court outside of California. The Legislature of California will he asked to pass a law which will enable the courts of that state to grant new trials in cases where con victions are obtained by perjured evidence or other fraudulent means. If these means fail then organized labor will be asked to call the gen eral strike. The plan of the Inter national Workers' Defense League is that the general strike will not be called unless other means to secure the labor leaders' release has tailed. The American Federation of Labor will be asked to endorse the general strike at its next annual con vention. Dr. George E.

[Continued from First Fuse.] j in his hand a telegram front a big | firm in Milwaukee which announced Ij that having seen notice of the open ing of the Penn-Harris it would hold its gathering of eastern representa tives here, having desired to come l'or the past two years, but refrain ing because there were not hotel accommodations. In all during,the evening *103,000 worth of stock was subscribed and President E. Z. Wallower, who was toassmaster, expressed himself as highly pleased. Fine Entertainment The. dinner was excellent and well served. The tables occupied the whole of the room and the speakers were seated at a <ong table extending from one end to the other on the Third street side. Henderson Gilbert and Floyd Hopkins were in chares of the enter tainment, and together they gave a first class musical show on a little stage in the center of the room. Most of the artists were from the Majestic theater, but one or two were residents of Harrisburg. They included CarneUa and Adele, Eadie and Rasddn, a sextet flrom "Blow Your Horn," and Harry Dare, of this city. The Middletown Aviation Quartet sang wonderfully well. Miss Neva Landrum, whose voice is heard every night by diners at the Penn-Harris, was a bright spot on the program. Her voice has received high praise from musical critics of the city. $40,000 Quickly Subscribed After the fun came the speaking and the additional stock subscrip tions. Forty thousand dollars was j very quickly subscribed. The first | speaker was SDencer C. Gilbert, him | self a big stockholder, who said that the city had provided all the com- I forts and conveniences of the mod j ern municipality except adequate hotel accommodations. "We invited j folks to see our parks." said be, I "and then begged them to spend [ their nights in them, for we had 'no ! hotels to which they might go; we ] asked them to inspect our paved | streets, and hinted that they had j better keep on inspecting them until I morning, for we had no rooms to ! offer; we asked them to admire our unrivaled river views, and suggested ! they remain along the river until sun-up, because the hotels were filled to overflowing." The Penn- Harris meets this need, he said, and he predicted that in the years to come the new hotel will make Har risburg more of a business and political center than ever before and that laws will be made and unmade within its four walls, to be ratified later at the capitol. Warwick 3fc. Ogelsby explained the financial status of the company, its leases and prospects, every pre caution being taken to insure the stockholders a Yair return on their money. David E. Tracy, E. J. Stackpole, E. S. Herman, J. WiWiam Bowman, William T. Hildrup, Mr. Wiggins, Mr. Stoddard, the architect, and other stockholders told of the long fight to get the hotel and Mr. Stod dard. who subscribed SI,OOO in stock last night, said he did so because hq believed the hotel to be a going proposition from the start and as a tribute to the splendid publip spirit and the broad-minded, generous gentlemen with whom he had to deal during nearly two years of work on the hotel flans. Bidding for stock then became lively. Mr. Tracy followed Mr. Hil drup witn SIO,OOO. Mr. Wallower took SIO,OOO more. Mr. Tracy pledged SIO,OOO for Mr. Starkey[ who is in England on business for the Pipe and Pipe Bending Com pany. E. S. Herman subscribed $5,000. Mr. Bowman put up $5,000 Mr. Stackpole took $5,000.

MAYO REGRETS TO SEE WARSHIPS AS TROOP CARRIERS Admiral Pays Tribute to Men Who Trained Fighters For Duty Overseas By Associated Press Philadelphia. Jan. 18.—Admiral Henry T. Mayo, commander of the j American Atlantic fleet throughout ; its active service in war, speaking ! last night before the fourteenth an nual Poor Richard Club Franklin , Day banquet, questioned the wisdom of converting battleships into trans ports to bring men back from France. "Armistice does not spell peace," he declared. "If this great war ends ! without difficulties following, it will be different from any other war and we may -need our battleship at any time. The idea that the only i thing to do now is to get the boys i back quick is all wrong. "The matter is settled now and we must leave the direction of these matters to wiser heads than mine, I but by making of the battleships : over into transports I very much | regret. "If you knew how great a task it • is to get a battleship prepared for j war and to train and equip a crew, 1 you would know how terrible a blow it is to the navy to have two- I thirds of the crews taken off thfe i ships, have them torn apart and i sent to transporting soldiers." I The admiral paid high tribute to ; the men who stayed ,at home and ; trained the men who went over Into • service. When war began, Admiral Mayo said, the navy, as a whole, was not ready for war. "We were not ready because we had not had the money to be ready," he said. "We did not have enough ships, we did not have | enough men. To get ready for war, j Iwe had to multiply our personnel j nearly ten fold, from 60,000 to near ;ly a half million. I think we all agree now that had America spent j a few millions before the war for : preparedness, she would not have had to spend many billions in war and, had she spent a few hundred • millions there would not have been | any war."

KEEP ITS WORD Every Power of Navy to Be Used in Making Labor Board Awards Binding , By Associated Press Washington. Jan. 18. —Every pow er of the Navy Department will be userl to force the acceptance by companies with which it has con tracts of awards made by the War Labor Board, Secretary Daniels said to-day, after a conference with Joint Chairman Taft of the board, on the situation growing out of the Beth lehem Steel Company's refusal to put into operation one of these awards. Mr. Daniels said he was taking up at once the question of how the de partment should proceed. It appear ed, he said, thattho Bethlehem Company had agreed some months ago to permit collective bargaining and the establishment of shop com mittees among its employes, but as soon as the armistice was signed, "the company lost interest." No hint was given as to what form the Navy Department's action might take, but Mr. Daniels pointed out that every contract let by the Navy included a cancellation clause. The War Department has more and larg er contracts with the Bethlehem Company than the Navy. Jsint Chairman Taft announced i later that the War Labor Board would defer for ten days its decision on the complaint of Bethlehem Steel Company employes that the com pany had not lived up to the terms of awards.
