WOULD CALL A STATE STRIKE AS FINAL RESORT State Labor Federation Gives Executive Council That Authority By Associated Press Pittsburgh, Nov. 3. —A resolution, ; recommending a state-wide strike of j organized labor as a lust resort in ! . the union's fight for "free speech, i free press and free assembly," was adopted by the special convention of the Pennsylvania Federation ot Labor in session here yesterday. | Following the vote on the resolution, ; it was announced that only two ot the 506 delegates had cast negative ballots. Under the resolution the executive council of the State Federation is instructed "to issue a call for a state-wide strike when in its judg ment it is necessary to compel re spect for law and the restoration of liberty as guaranteed by the consti tution of the United States and ot the State of Pennsylvania." Gov ernor William C. Sprout was asked to call a special session of the Leg islature to act as an impeachment tribunal against public officials who are accused by the union of violat ing their oaths of office.

Chicago, Nov. 3.—John Fitz- I Patrick, national chairman of the | steel strikers' committee, at a I meeting of the Chicago Federa- ! tion of Labor, said there would j be no general strike In support of the steel strike. His state ment was called forth by an at tempt to introduce a resolution calling for a general strike. "Not even the American Fed- j eration of Labor could call a , strike of all workers," said Mr. ; Fitzpatrick. "That is up to the j international unions. There is no ! hope or possibility that a general i strike can -be called. The com- I mittee in charge of the strike has j discussed every angle of this i matter but I cannot tell you what j ' our plans are now." to call the strike was questioned by a number of delegates, but James H. Maurer, president, told the con vention that "when we decide we have to fight, whether the American Federation of Labor or the different international unions concur, we are I going to fight." He added that he did not anticipate opposition of the proposed walkout from the interna- t tional unions, but said he expected ' "their hearty support." Other Resolutions Other resolutions passed by the j convention urged that the railroad men, miners and steel workers pool their forces and refuse to make any settlements that do not include the steps to rid the blood of these dis orders. And the one remedy which has no equal as a puriiier is S. S. S., the purely vegetable blood medi cine, which has been on the market for more than fifty years. It is sold by druggists everywhere. \ If you are afflicted with any form of skin disease, do not expect to be cured by lotions, ointments, salves and other local remedies, as they can not possibly reach the source ' of the trouble, which is in the blood. Begin taking S. S. S. to-day, and write a complete history of your case to our chief medical adviser who will give you special instruc tions, without charge. Write at once to Swift Specific Co., 260 Swift Laboratory, Atlanta, Ga. * MONDAY EVENING, three unions; ordered the taking ot a referendum vote of the different crafts in Pennsylvania on the ques tion of forming a labor party; de manded amnesty for persons impris oned under the espionage act and urged the repeal of the law; recom mended the release of alleged Hindu revolutionists held In jails of the United States; opposed the Cum mins antistrike legislation, and de nounced the Sterling bill "which os tensibly aims to punish with heavy penalties any advocacy of a change of government by violence or violent resistance of government authority, by which may be readily construed, as was the espionage act-, to apply to any vehement protest against ex isting conditions." When the subject of extending moral und financial support to strik ing coal miners was brought up, Francis Feehan, supervising inspec tor of the Pittsburgh district of the State Department of Labor and In dustry, voiced his opposition to it. Speaking as an individual, and not as a delegate, Mr. Feehan declared that endorsement of the proposal by the convention would be an action against the government. Feehan was formerly president of District No. 5, United Mine Workers of America. Subscriptions to a $500,000 fund for establishing a labor daily news paper for Pennsylvania, were open ed at yesterday's meeting by Presi dent Maurer, who announced that loan shares at $lO would be issuecj. New P. R. R. Station May Be Built on North Street Persistent rumors are in circulation regarding the site for the proposed now station of the Pennsylvania Rail road in the vicinity of the Capitol Park extension. This rumor is to the effect that the company will take over the property of Swift and Co., at North street and the railroad as soon as definite arrangements shall have been made with the State regarding the space along the eastern frontage of the Cawitol Park grounds which will be needed for additional tracks and which matter has been under ne gotiation betwen the State and rail road officials for some time. There are also rumrs of other buildings in the vicinity of the extended park of the State and it is believed the next year or two will see tremendous ac tivity not only on the west side of the Pennsylvania Railroad district, but also in the desirable residential sec tion which will be reached over the State street viaduct, and through the Herr street subway lines on Allison Hill. K " HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH CHEAP FREIGHT ON NAVIGABLE RIVER [Continued from First NAVIGABLE RIVER IS PRACTICAL I Major Gray, in his report con -1 cerning the advisability of mnk ! ing the Susquehanna navigable, i sums up his findings as follows: My personal opinion is Hint | making the Susquehanna riv er navigable is practical. As an additional transpor- I tation facility, it is necessary. For the reduction of freight charges and the de velopment of interstate com | mcrcc, it is justifiable. For the conservation of j water and flood control, jointly with the production of electric power, it is war ranted. For the benefits to be de rived by the Eastern Sen ium rd States and the na tion. it should be made nav igable without delay. Major Gray's full report will begin to-morrow on the editorial page. iron, clay, stone, cement, agricultural and other products exisst, and the bulk of these products are disposed of in the eastern states. The railroad freight rate to these points on coal and bulky commodities is from SI.BO to $3 a ton, while by water the rate would be 50c to SI.OO a ton. To secure additional water trans portation for Pennsylvania and re duce freight rates to eastern states the only course is to make the Sus quehanna navigable. Would Open Big Valley Major Gray then states that about GOO miles of waterways can be made suitable for barges up to 3,000 tons in the Susquehanna river system, With railroad transportation be coming more expensive, many raw and manufactured products must bear the increasing rail freight charges. Development of existing railroads In the State Is almost pro hibited by the high cost of labor and materials, and the value of ad ditional rights-of-way. "Freight taken care of by water ways would assist the railroads by lessening freight congestion and permitting more uniform freight movements. A navigable Susque hanna would assure a certain and adequate coal supply to the eastern coast, the Great Lakes and the Northwest, at a much lower freight rate. The construction of the large Chesapeake and Delaware canal, and the completion of the inland water ways from Maine to the Gulf, will shorten the route to Philadelphia, New York and the east. The pro duction "of power will encourage manufacturing, cheapen trolley line operation, furnish electric power and lights at lesser rate, and in this way save fuel. Flood control will save annual losses in life and property. Many Advantages "The construction of a navigable Susquehanna will employ a large number of men and equipment over a period of several years,"' Major Gray continued saying that the main tenance of the waterway system will give employment to thousands of skilled and unskilled labor. To control the river stage flood reservoirs would be utilized, pre venting floods during high water and creating a reserve water supply to be used in the late summer in case of a low river stage. A system of shutter dams would assist in con trolling the waters for navigation and power and land purchased in connection with the proposed Im provement would not cost as much as that which would be needed for better railroad facilities. The areas drained In the various states follow: New York, 4,000 square miles; Pennsylvania, 24,100 square miles; Maryland, 1,000 square miles. This Is followed by other statis tics compiled by Major Gray show ing populations of the areas affect ed, production of wheat, rye, oats, corn, hay, potatoes, buckwheat and other products In various counties and a mention of other Industries, including steel, Iron and lumber, all affected bv the proposed plan. An thracite coal from Pennsylvania in 1917, mined in the Susquehanna river valley, totaled 100,000,000 tons; bituminous, 200,000,000 tons. All of the anthracite and 50,000,- 000 tons of the bituminous can easily be hauled to the waterways for transportation to distant points.
