WOULDFORCENEW
MOONEY TRIAL BY
A GENERALSTRIKE
Labor Delegates Adjourn Con
vention Following This
Action
Chicago, Jan. 18.—Delegates to
'the National Labor Congress are on
their way home to-day after having
decided yesterday for a general
July 4 as a means of obtaining ane
strike of organized labor beginning
new trial for Thomas J. 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.

SATURDAY EVENING.
NEW HOTEL STOCK
MAY PAYJO PER CENT.
[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. Spencer
C. Gilbert came forward for $5,000.
David Kaufman for his two sons
subscribed SI,OOO. Mrs. Kaufman
took SSOO worth. Dr. J. I?. McAl
lister subscribed SI,OOO. Sirs. M.
Virginia Weiss sent- a check for
$2',500. John Fox Weiss put in
SI.OO. And so it went, the tables
joining in the bidding until $103,000
worth of stock and had been
pledged. •

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."

and the brilliant manner in which it

uncle. There are many wealthy pa
tients, and in order to keep control
of his gift, the will declares that the
young doctor must ture ten patients
before the end of thirty days or for
feit all claims. Among the patients
is a young girl and her elderly aunt.
A love affair develops from this. In
which the young doctor figures for
midably.. But it is an unusual and

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.
