Waahingtoii, Sept. .V Labor day
find organized workers of the
United State in turmoil our the
federal government' injunction
against the railroad thnpmen'i strike,
hut the irttlrinriit tttrUy night of
the prolonged anthracite foal strike
in the wake of Samuel Gomper' an
nouncement that general strike

suamst the injunction move liy the
government ha served to temper the
wind that hal been blowing over in
dustrial Ameriia since Friday after
noon. The ending of the coil strike,
Which ratne a a reiult ot govern
ment pleading! on hehalf oi a utfer
ing public, i regarded here at an in
dication that the workeri of the eoun
try are in no mood to rally around a
general trike leader, liven some of
tin rrpretentative labor leader are
known to have received Mr. Gomp
era' Friday night interview on the
government injunction with consid
erable aurpriae. While they agree
with everything he had to say about
the draatic character of the injunc
tion and are willing to enlist in a
fight to overcome it, they do not be
tieve that a general ittike ran be pre
cipitated in the United State nor
that tuch an effort would avail under
the circumstances. .
Poaaible Development.
Mr. Gompera himaelf, aome of tii
rloieat frienda assert, ia not advo
cating a general atrike. They argue
that he merely referred to it aa a
poaaible development which the
American Federation of Labor execu
tive council mint consider when it
meeta next Saturday. When the
council doe meet, they do not be
lieve that it will recommend any gen
, eral attike. There never has been
anything of the kind in the United
Mate and, if aome of labor' coun
aelora are to be regarded aa wide
prophet, there will be none now.
Their argument against the general
atrike is that it i this very thing that
some of the radical organization of
capital have been seeking to precipi
tate in their warfare against trade-
. unionism and that it woud be a sui
cidal move for organized labor to
rush into the trap.
Organized labor, they assert, is (till
organizing in the United State, and
will not plunge into a general war
fare with capital at thia itage of the
game. Some of the organized labor
leaders point to Mr. Gompera' own
tatement to the American people, is
tued for publication on Labor day,
as an indication that he is looking for
jio general strike and is, in fact, very
welt satisfied with conditions gener
ally as they relate to the unions after
Vevt
veral years of conflict with organ-
d eapifal., ...
' i VtetM Organization,
"Organize! Organize! Organize!"
ay Mr. Gompers. Organize in
trade unions. Thin is my message to
the workers of America on Labor
day. 1922.
"For four years the enemies of
the workers and of humanity have
waged an incessant -war against the
trade union movement in particular
and labor in genera!.
"Out of this war certain facts
stand forth pre-eminently.
"It is apparent that the worker
who have suffered least in the anti
labor war are the workers who are
most thoroughly organized in their
respective trades."
Mr. Gompers referred Friday to
scores of messages that had come to
the American Federation of Labor
urging a general strike to punish the
government for its injunction move
against the railroad strike. An
analysis that has been made of these
messages, however, is said to show
that they came from the Yadical
wings of various unions and da not
represent the thoughtful conclusion
of any great labor organizations af
filiated with the American Federa
tion of Labor.
Strike Last Resort.
One of these indications as to how
the executive council of the fedcra
tion probably will stand when it gets
jown to consideration s rceom-
ndiug a general strike is contained
fTrn-O message received here from
James Duncan, first vice president of
the federation, which said:
"The general strike idea could
only be considered as a lat resort
for maintenance of freedom,"
In thi messaue, it was declared
here, is a guide to the probable
course to be pursued by the federa
tion with respect to the injunction.
It is going to tight, but will fight in
the courts anil not in the streets of
the country. Already, it is declared,
the attorneys for the railroad shop
men and the American Federation uf
Labor are "preparing their ease
sgainst the intuiution. which will be
bailed lrimartl v on the contention
'hat the injunction granted by Judge
Wilkeraon is in direct violation ot

Doiralile? Complaint
of Soldiers.
tendon, Sept. 3. If Great Britain
should have the misfortune to be en
gagt'd in another big war, it is safe to
predict that no cases of "shell shock"
will appear among it list of casual
ties. The first recommendation of
the war office committee on shell
shock, whose report has juit been
published, is that the term should be
cut nut of the official language,
"War neurosis" is considered to be
the best general term. "Shell shock"
is declared to be wholly misleading,
becaue it occurred to patients who
bad never been een within hearing
of a shrllburst.
"It is no surprise to find that the
general lay conception of the term
was very loose and ill-informed," the
committee state. "There was such
anxious solicitude during the war a
to the incapacitated, and sueh was the
appeal of the term 'shell shock.' that
this clas of case excited more gen
eral interest and sympathy than any
other, so that it became a most de
sirable complaint from which to suf
fer. "No case of psycho-neurosis, or of
mental brcqkdowt'., even when at
tributed to a shell explosion, should
be classified as a battle casualty any
more than sickness or disease.
"In many cases," say the commit
tee, "it is extremely difficult to dis
tinguish cowardice from neurosis,
since in both fear is the chief casual
factor."
Col. Stubba, D. S. O., expressed the
opinion that efforts should be made
to get rid of the idea especially
prevalent among young soldiers, that
it was disgraceful to feel scared when
in action.
"I do not know, but I think I was
in an awful funk the whole time," he
told th committee, "and I think most
people were. If the young soldier
were given to understand that every
body is very much afraid and that it
is a natural condition to be in, but he
should overcome it; and if he were
told also about the effect of shells and
that it was up to him to control him
self, I think it would have some ef
fect." Invalid Woman Hurls Pitcher

George Clark, Twentieth and Cali
fornia streets, was on the receiving
end of a huge porcelain pitcher last

at Portland.
Portland. Ore . Sept, 3. Final
preparations were rounding into
shape today (or the opining next
Wednesday of the 47th triennial ses
sion of the general convention of the
Protestant hpiaropal church here.
According to the recording officers
preliminary advices are that more
than 1 10 bi.hops and boO deputies
will attend, Delegates to the worn
en's organization are expected to
bring the total attendance to 4 500,
In all the larger l-.picopal
churches of western Oregon ervice
were conducted by bishops in the
lata to attend the convention. At
the proeathedral, the Right Key.
(iavlord G. lieuiictt, bishop of Du
lull), preached in the morning and
Right Rev. Charle P. Anderson,
bishop of Chicago, in the evening.
Foreign Nations Represented.
Many foreign countries were rep.
resented among the distinguished
prelate who arc already here, in
cludinir China and Syria.
I'irat business session of the two
house of the convention proper and
also of the Women' auxiliary, lead
ing women a organization, will be
luld Wednesday afternoon.
The organization of the house of
bishop requires the election of a
new chairman if the body accept the
tendered resignation of Serretary
George I. Nelson, a new secretary as
well.- lltshop Thomas F. Gaylor has
served two term of three year each
a chairman and it ineligible for re
election unless there should be a sus
pension of the rule of the church.
The only associate any of the
bishop have mentioned as a possible
tuccetsor to Chairman Gaylor has
been that of the Kt. Rev. William
A. Leonard, bishop of Ohio.
Clergyman Secretary.
A ecretary of the body, the bish
op select a clergyman and not a
member tf the house. Dr. John F.
Plumb of New Milford, Conn., is as
sistant secretary.
In the house of deputies organiza
tion, it is held quite possible that
election of a new secretary may be
necessary. This is because of the
current impression that Dr. Henry
Anstice. who has served as assistant
secretary and secretary since 1877,
may tender his resignation,
Dr. C. M. Davis, formerly dean of
the cathedral of St. Louis, and a
secretary of the department of mis
sion with headquarters in New
York, is assistant secretary of this
house. He has attended every con
vention since 188 J, and is said to be
the logical man for secretary if his
chief resigns.

at Water'i Ftlge.
IlufTalo, Sept, 3. An adtnmobile
plunged over the chIT near the Cata
ract at Niagara Fall this afternoon
and wa dashed to piece feet
below on the river' margin, Mrs.
Agnha Miller, 54, wife of V. II
Miller, Cleveland, fell to her death
with the car, Her body wa found
on the water' edge.
The accident happened jut north
of the upper steel arch bridge. Mr.
Miller wa alone in the car, in the
rear seat. The ttt was parked on
the gras near the custom ollice at
the American end of the bridge,
facing the river on a slight tlope.
There i no guard rail at the cliff
edge, The owner and driver of the
car, F.dward Meyer of Uuftalo, had
left it, a be thought, safely parked,
For some reason it began to slip
down the lope and Mrs. Miller, who
wa of very heavy build, realized her
danger, Her scream aroused by
stander and two men, Harry An
drew,' a negro of iiuffalo, and Jo
seph Goldberg, Toronto, grabbrd
the rear frnder and trove desper
ately to stop the car, Thev kept
their hold until it reached the very
brink and plunged into the gorge.
Mr. Miller tried to extricate her

chael Kerrigan, also of Cleveland,
came to liutfalo thia morning and
hired Meyer to drive them to the
fall sightseeing.
Prospects Point
to Bumper Grain
Crops in Russia
Mother Nature Appears to
He Trying to Make Up for
Small. Production
Last Year.
Moscow, Sept. 3. Mother Nature
appear to be trying to make up to
Russia for what she did to her last
year. Accurate estimates of the
grain crop of V)22 still are lacking,
but from nearly every province re
ports pour into- Moscow that not in
many years have such growing crops
been seen.
When rains were needed, they
came in a profusion that made up
for last year's drouth. When sun
shine was necessary, it was on hand.
Unless some unprecedented weather
condition develops between now and
the time of the harvest, practically
every bushel of ecd that wa planted
last autumn and thi ipring seems
sure to bear.
In some localities stricken last
year by the drouth an unusual ph
iiomcnon has been noticed. Grain
sown in the spring of 1921, which
failed to sprout at all last summer,
has come up this year to swell the
small sowings which were available
in the spring of 1922. In other
places, where the grain was so
short and undeveloped last autumn
as to be unworthy of harvesting,
these dwarf plants dropped their
seed and this, too, has sprouted un
der the rains and sunshine.
Generally speaking, the ground
seems to have gained strength dur
ing the famine year, and the rich
nitrates which a big 1021 crop would
have exhausted were left in the soil
to fatten the kernels and strengthen
the stalks of this sflmmcr's grain.
The areas sown this year per
haps were less than last in many
provinces, but the crop itself is so
good that the yield is expected to
be more than three and a half billion
poods of grain for all Russia, a bil
lion more than last year. (A Dood
is 36 pound).
If the surplus of fruitful regions
can be transported to the cities and
the nonproductive localities, and if
the peasants do not hoard it, Rus
sian officials express the conviction
that famine will be practically dead
and that after October full stomachs
will succeed hunger for most of Rus
sia's population.
Japan Expected lo Refuse

Chang Chun, Manchuria, Sept, 3.
(By A. P.) Delegates of the Jap

It was suggested that Japan will

At present the men who have taken
the place of the striker number be
tween 20 and 3K), with approxi
mately 350 men on strike here. The
men seldom come up town for fear
of causing trouble with the striker.
They are being lodged and fed in the
tailroad yards and do all of their trad
ing at temporary store established
by the railroad company. A barber
hop, soda fountain and other facili
ty have been (installed in the yard
for the accommodation of the men,
but they are growing retles under
the restriction and demand that their
right a American citizen be pro
tected. The railroad company, prior
to the council meeting, planned to in
stall a motion picture show in addi

Mayor R. M. Hampton and the
council took a vigorous stand for law
enforcement and announced that the
police force will be doubled and treb

to the railroad employes.
Situation Intolerable
"The situation ha become intol

they are going to get it from new

A law enforcement meeting is to

Woman Gives Tip
on Liquor Ring
Counterfeit Laheln and Large
Quantity of Whitky Seized
in Chicago Pharmacy.
Omflha lire Ijunl Hire.
Chicago, Sept. 3. Important steps
were taken today in smashing what is
considered the greatest and cleverest
bootlegging and counterfeiting gang
recently discovered. Acting upon in
formation furnished by a woman so
cial worker who came upon a vast
amount of counterfeit whisky and
wine labels, prohibition agents ar
rested two men and are after a dozen
others. These arrests followed a raid
upon the Harrison pharmacy, in
whnch great bundles of spurious
liquor labels, forged prescriptions and
several hundred filled whisky flasks
were seized. Saul Sterner and rred
Rcingctti, said to be joint proprietors
of the pharmacy, were arrcjted.
It is said that this gang worked in
conjunction with the bootlegging
crew whose ramifications extend
from Minneapolis to points all over
Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. 1 he
Minneapolis gang specialized in re
distilling denatured alcohol and
shipping out hundreds of barrels.
The capture of the Minneapolis
plant and the discovery of the supply
of counterfeit labels, it is thought,
will serve as a knockout.

Mutt Depend on Selves.
"Every contest with the owner

Aiks Constructive Policies.
Cleveland, O., Sept. 3. A plea to
forget destructive thought and turn
time and energy to constructive poli

mrssaKe of V, G. Lee, president of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men. "labor i charged with being mili
tant and the charge is true," he said.
"The same may be said of any nation
or people who have accomplished
anything. Had labor not been mili
tant the relation of master and slave
would still exist.
"Whatever labor has gained it has
secured by its strength either direct
ed through the force of its organiza
tion or through the enactment of laws
and has done so against the combined
forces of the employer,
"Instead of continuing a program
of reprisals both capital and labor
must agree to a eontmonsense, fair
and practical adjustment 'of their dif
ferences or there will be what
amounts to conscripteion of certain
classes of both in the interest of the
common welfare.
