It is evjiejit that the cunnig brute had everything planned, as the school girls have fcen in the hnbit of taking this path hrrr.e aaily. Grabbing one of the girls, he threw hw to the ground and taking some tlothes-Uue from his pocket he securely tied her hinds and arms. She was rendered hflpltss. Bruised and frightr:ed. tho o:her three girls ran out into the- clearing and at the top of their volets scruamed for help. Their crjea were heard by workmen -n-loved by the Gary Land Company, . w .ia time lushing to their assistance. T-.-.'ing the men to the scene of the attacx. the men found the girl struggling with tho moron, who had failed to accomplish her purpose. Seeing the me, Moleski started to make his get-away and put up a fight in his effort to make his get-away. A ahort time later the ! police arrived and placed him under arrest. Arriving at the Central station, the police Implicate! Moleski with another ; cas of the night before when he attacked a schol girl from the Frobel chool while on her way home. She identified him as the man who attempted t- attack her. The attack of the evening previous "was made about the same hour. "While sh was walking along near the Pennsylvania Railroad and the park on Fifteenth ave., the twelve -year -old girl was ftopppd by Moleski. Noticing that he could hardly talk and not knowing what he was trying to say to her, the rirl unconsciously walked up to him to inquire what he- wanted. As h- grabbed her. 6he started to scream and placing his hand over her month dragged her into a secluded spot. Using a clothes line to tie her hands and arms secure, he dug a hole in the sand, shoving her head 'and face in it. It was only luck thatanother man happened alonsr cr lolcski would have accomplished his purpose. He ran Into the -woods and disappeared. Freeing herself, the frightened girl did not even ettp to see who her rescuer was. MOD WILL HOT DISCUSS THE R Gov. Goodrich Said to Be Willing to go on Ticket With Gen.

"KEEP LEGION OUT 0FP0LITICS" That's What Gen. Pershing Told Legion Members in N. Y. Last. Night.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE! NEW YORK. Sept. 13. Gen. Pershing's last word to S.000 of the men who htiped him "mop up the German army" was an apreal to "let politics alone." His remarks were made during an address at Madison Square Garden, whore, he was the guest of the American legion. "I should deplore the thought the the American legion might become a tool In the hands of political aspirants." he said. "I am glad to give encouragement to the American legion as long as it stands for sturdy Americanism, as long as it keeps its skirts free from petty politics. "We demand an American policy that will punish as murder the wanton killing or men, women and babes, whether it occurs on the high seas or on the banks of the Rio Grande a policy that will demand respect for the stars and stripes." PLUMB APPEALS TO UNITED MINE WORKERS J INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE CLEVELAND. O., Sept. 13. The two largest bodies of union men in the United States were expected to be solidly lined up behind plana for the nationalisation of the rails and mines today as the first step towards a triple alliance of railroad, mine or transport workers. Glenn E. Plumb, author of the Plumb plan for nationalization of the railroads, addressed the convention of the United Mine Workers and appealed to them for their support of the plan. As a result of his aprearance to take charge of the work of drafting up a plan for nationalization of the mines. The resolutions committee of the miners has approved a resolution calling for a dual alliance between the railroaders and the miners which will probably come before the convention this nfternoon. Its adoption seems assured. Interest centered today on the convention floor in the resumption of the fight by 24 Illinois delegates for seats n the convention. The fight was interrupted by yesterday's recess, but the congested delegates were ready today to press their demands. They have been gaining strength in the past few days. Frank Harrington, president pf the Iillinols Mine Workers, against whose administration the fight Is directed will oppose their seating. The convention expected to clar its decks today in preparation for th real fireworks next week. The lull report of the resolutions committee will- then.be before the delegates. An unfavorable report on a resolution recommending withdrawal from the American Federation of Labor by the Mine Workers will bring about the first test between the radicals in the convention and the conservatives.

SAYS GOMPERS PLAYS A BOLO HAND

(From "The Iron Trade Review" of September 11. 191) Samuel Gompers' telegram to President Wilson, suave in tone yet intimidating in effect, urging the latter to use his good offices to induce the sieel corporation to grant a conference to the representatives of the so-called organized workers of the steel industry pureiy is for public consumption, it is a mixture of the same exaggeration, untruthfulness and downright bluff which has characterized the present movement engineered by labor agitators to force a recognition of the union by the iron and stei-1 industry. It i an effort to bri:.g about through the federal administration that which the newly-fledged unions are not able to accomplish through their own strength cr efforts. In that respect it is an admission of weakness. Nobody knows more surely than Gompers and his associates that they have beon talking in big figures but that the numbers of their claims largely are made up of ciphers. They know that if they attempt to call a strike that the effects would be insignllicant in direct proportion to the strength of their membership. This is because their extended expenditure of time and effort and no little money over a period of month has brought comparatively few recruits to the ranks of organized labor in ihe industry and these largely from the foreign and more ignorant classes. As stated In a recent issue of Tha Iron Trade Review on high authority, a complete canvas of the iron and steel industry shows that but 10 to 15 per cent of the employes at most have accepted union membership and these chiefly in the auxiliary trades such as machinists, carpenters, bricklayers, etc. These figures are eloquent of the right of the American Federation of Labor to sp:ak for the hundreds of thousands of employes of the iron and steel industry or to invoke the aid of the President, directly or Indirectly, to the furtherance of its cause. The American iron and steel industry is open shop because the rank and file of its employes want it to be open shop. The Inference is plain that the unions having failed to intimidate the manufacturers by their claims of strength or to force the mater into a conference which could be tamamount to a recognition, now are playing their last card. There is only one real end for which the American Federation of Labor is striving in this controversy and that i the recognition of the union. All other Items enumerated in the original set of demands are of so trivial or general a character that they assume the ridiculous when it is considered that in behalf Of these the . agitators wouta essay a strike which on their own words "would paralize industry" and create an "industrial crisis." These demands have been put forth to give numbers to the alleged grievances and to lend a semblance of reason to the unions' cause in th public mind which is little informed regarding the actual conditions of employment in the steel industry. They mean literally nothing in themselveiy All are subordinated to the one aim that unionism j shall gain a footing and a recognition in! the iron and steel Industry, someni'.nwhich it has never been able to do. If they can maneuver it by fair means or four to gain a seat at the table with; Judge Gary and other leaders of thej steel industry, the presidents of the various unions claiming a voice, undoubtedly would consider that they had won a real victory, not to speak of their having saved their faces. And undoubtedly they would be able to put th. fact to good effect in the future in the'r mischievous endeavors to embarrass th country's premier branch of enterprise. The union leaders have carefully refrained at any time from any statements which would disclose their exact membership in the iron and steel industry. It is clear that if they had the right to speak for the majority of the industry, cr even for a large proportion cf . that the leaders of the steel industry being men of common sense and of business judgment, scarcely would decline o give them a hearing on the basis of any actual br imagined grievances. How-: ever, they speak only for a email tec-; tion of the industry which they have , been able to entice into mernbershia by various methods in. recent months. There is no clearer case or tne uic -racy of organized labor than the threats of the decided minority against the steel Industry, no more offensive assumption of arrogant privilege than Gompers message to the President. It is inconceivable that the President of tne I mted States, chief advocate as he is. of th-pelf-determination of peoples and c asses should allow himself to become the t-x.1, consciously or unconsciously, for the propagation of unionism where it .s wanted neither by employer or err.p.oyed If the mfiow" , - the public would weicou..-- t. ....... Advertisement JOHNSON GETS BIG RECEPTION They Cheered Hiram For Fourteen Mintues and Woodrow Four. c. i INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE 1 ST. LoLIS. Mo.. Sept. 13. Speaking before an audience of 12.000 persons in the Coliseum last night. Senator Hiram Johnson, of California, arch-opponent of the league of nations, declared that the issue was not whether the United States should be isolated but whether w. shell -lo our duty as we shall see fit or in the future obey the British or Japanese empires." The senator stood on the same platform from which President Wilson just a week previous had spoken. Johnson sought to answer some of the arguments made by the chief executive then, but devoted much time to picturing him as floating high among the clouds and praying for time when he would come to earth. For fourteen and a half minutes after Johnson entered the hall the crowd cheered four and a half minutes when he appeared and it was apparent that the demonstration last night was prolonged in an effort to outshine that Of the, w'ee) previous.

In his opening remark. Father Seroczynskl made the point that "in this ccuntry" of unlimited resource we have 1m; en wasting our peopl Just aa we have wastel the natural resource of the country. The solution of tha present industrial problems must be found thioug!! sympathetic service anl LOVE to our fellowmen anl not by bullets." Mr. Bondy opened his remark by reminding the company of the Red Cross campaign which is to be put on from November 2nd to 11th. This campaign will be primarily a drive for membership and it is hoped to raise enough money through m.:-mberlJp fees to finish up the war program of the Bed Cross. "The war is not over," said Mr. Bondy. "for the men who have returned and have no work; for the men who have returned sick and disabled; for the families who have lost their men on the battlefields or in the camps." Four chief conditions wore stated a cstntial undr whi;h the Ptao Program miiht b carried oil First: There must be no duplication of ttfoi-t. The Bed Cross must never underiake work which is being properly done by other organizations. Second: The Peace Program must meet real needs of a community. Third: It must be the responsibility t the local chapter to finance and carry on whatever program they adopt. Fourth: The most important of all. the new work must not interfer wi-.l linishing our war work. Mr. Oliver Homes of Gary made th-j important point that "the Red Cross funis are Trust Funds that have been contrlbutel by all our citizens, almost in an inverse proportion to the ability of the subscribers." Other speakers were T. Jos. Sullivan for Whiting. Abe Ottemheimer for East Chicago. Mrs. Clark for Inliana Harbor. Leo Wolf, chairman of the local home service said in part, "Hammond is far behind the other cities In the Calumet regon n caring for her unfortunate citizen.
