FOUR REPORTED HELD FOR PART IN GARY WRECK One Man in Ciistodv Said to Have Confessed to Wrecking Fasst Express.

RADICALS ARE BLAMED Object of Plot, It is Declared, Wa ta Drive Rail Crews From Trains. CHICAGO. Aug. 27. Tour men were rvorted being: hld tonight by the police in connection with the v.-recking of a Michigan Central expre .! train ai Gary, I ml . last week. caJöiikÄ the death of the engineer and fireman, according to a copyrighted tory prin-ted by the Chicago Herald and Examiner. According to the story of one of the four men held, none of thoe whose names were given confessed, and declared that the reaons the spiken were pulled from the rails to wreck the train was because the wreckers wanted to "ge" the fireman and the engineer with the object of making the rest of the train crews afraid to run their trains. The plot which resulted in th wreck, it was said, was conceived by a number of radical followers of Inine and the Russian soviet, who were also striking shopmen. Mie one who confesed also was said to have involved the police informant who had betraye i his companions in the hope of getting the $0,000 reward offered by the railroad. The raids which resulted in the arrests followed a conference between V. A. Forbes, chief -of police of Gary. and Chief of Detectives Hugaefi of Chicago. The alleged wrecking r.lot has occupied the attention of local, federal and railroad officials ever since the wrecV of the train, which was a fa.t express, earl' last Suday morning. At the time of the wreck, railroad officials declared that a large number of spikes had been removed from the tie. indicating the work of i train wreckers. Two persons, Kngineer Coy and Fireman Lubbn. both of Niles, Mich., were killed in tl - smash-up. It way pointed out that : id the train been carrying passen1. .s. scores of others would probably h .ve been injured or killed. The truck at the point where the train was wrecked was plowed up for many feet. BONUS BILL EXPECTED TO PASS TOMORROW WASINGTON, Aug. 2 (By A. P.)

Proponents of the amended house bill believed it would be approved as reported by the finance committee except that probably the SmithMrXary land reclamation bill would be added as a land settlement option for the veterans. LABOR ACHIEVING AIMS. SAYS LEADER Gompers Deelares Workers Have Halted Wage Cuts and "Union Smashing.' WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.. (By A. P.) Organized labor groups have every reason to congratulate their memberships with the coming Labor day in 1922 because of the "industrial and and political solidarity" of the working people, because of the "failure df employers to bring about wj ge reductions." and because of determination within themselves to push forward. Samuel Gumpers, president of the American Federation of Labor, declared in an address published in the forthcoming issue of the American Federations. There has been a general "resistance of American labor to the program of wage reductions and union smashing." and it has been successful he asserted. "It Is safe to say that the full volume of wage reductions since the armistice, if averated up and spread over the working population, would amount to less than 5 percent." Mr. G-ompers said. "It is a magnificent victory for the workers." he continued. "There are not terms to strong to descirbe the importance of this great victory for labor. It is a victory in the celebration cf which every useful citizen can Join because the purpose of thoM employers who fought to reduce wages waj not to reduce the f.r.ii cot of commodities, not 5vo thati there might be a larger volume of commodities produced; but it was so that there might be a larger prorit in the production of commodities, a lower wage for the worker and a relatively higher cct to the consumer."

BUSINESS OUTLOOK FOR F A L L SEASON STILL UNCERTAIN Some Observers Prediet "Boom," While Others are Less Optimistic. NEW YORK, Aug. 27. (By A. P.) Eoth indications as to the trend of business and finance and oiinions as to fall prospects have shown marked diversity during the past week. Settlement of the coal strike is generally expected to be reflected in a shaip gain in production, a figure as high as 9,000. 000 tons a week being mentioned as likely to be realized in the immediate future. On the other hand it. is pointed out that the government's scheme of priorities must remain in force for some time, particularly until tlu needs of the northwest have been taken care of, so that the steel industry is likely to feel the restriction imposed by fuel shortage for tome weeks to come. Stevl Wages IiicrtiMXl The 20 per cent Increase in .steel wages, meantime, is interpreted as indicating that stel manufacturers expect to be able to dispose of all their available production this fall at favorable prices, a conclusion which is reinforced by the present restricted scale ot" operations as compared with the rate of artivity during the spring and early summer. Whether or not steel prices will rise materially above present levels, however, remains to be en since prices have already touched scarcity levt Is and some observers anticipate a decline as the scarcity is relieved. As far as the railroad strike is concerned, financial quarters have not entirely abandoned hope of a settlement and do not seem alarmed over the prospects of a tinish right. Car loading statistics show that the roads are continuing to move a volume of freight comparing favorably with the best performances? of the year. On the other hand, it Is recognized that a car shortace during the fall is inevitable. Some Predict "Hooni." Arguing from ,the increase in wages in the coal and steel industries, which are symptomatic of a shortage of common labor, and th higher prices of coal arul steel product, some observers conclude that the country is entering a period of 'inflation." While definitions of this term vary considerably, what is probably meant is that something like a boom, short lived or otherwise, is to be bred of a general rise in commodity prices. Opinion on the matter K however, divided. Those who refuse to subscribe to this theory point out that the present increase in prices is due to abnormal situations, arising from the strikes and that hicher price are likely to be temporary.

" - M ' Ts' ' vFUTURE OF LONDON TIMES DOMINATES BRITAIN'S INTEREST Will of Lord Northeliffe, Publisher of Paper, to Be Contested. LONDON. Ajg. 2 7. (By A. P.) The ownership of the Ixtndon Time and the policy of Iord Northciiffe's leading newspaper were questions whic i dominated today's newspapers. Incidentally it was learned thit there is to be a contest over Lord Northeliffe' will and three cave its have been entered against its probate. It now develops that Bord Northeliffe made two wills, one dated March 22. I!tl9, and another shortly before his death, of which the sole executor is Lady Northeliffe. Contents Unknown. The admitting of the will to probate will end all .speculation concerning its contests. There are those who believe that Lord Northeliffe took steps perpetually to dominate the policies of the Times by some sort of organization , similar to the Cecil Rhodes Trust, or the Rockefeller foundation. It is generally agreed that if Lord Northeliffe 's shares : n the London Times are disposed of in open morket there will be a scramble like that of 1P0S whe-ns Harmsworth, by his strategy, barely nosed out Arthur Pearson as a successor to the Walter 'interests who controlled the newspaper for a centuryThe Kxprtss asserts that Lord Northciif fe'ji estate is estimated at L " 0 0 . 0 o o , of which heavy death duties mu-! be paid. This will likely compel the trustees to dispose of certain o'i his interests and therfore it is anticipated that control of the Times will eventually pass into other hands Will Connoted. An inttrestirg turn was taken in LurdXonhclinVs. affairs by the entering of thie eviveats against the admissionyof :'t" will or the granting of letters of administration to the Northeliffe estate. This will prevent the administration of the estate until tlae persons entering the caveats hae been heard. Appearances to the cavedT were mcde by Henry Preus Amholz, Lord Northciif fe's solicitor and an old friend, and by Sir George Sutton, who was chairman of the Amalgamated Press. Amholz and Sutton nr executors and trpstee- of the will dated March 22. 1919.. Lord Riddell's News of the World is authority for thf statement that ju-t before his death. Lord Xorthcl.ffe executed another will of which Iidy Northeliffe alo:ie L- executrix. A writ of summons ho been issued, thus 1-egi.nning a .-u; (0 decide which of the-se wills shall be admitted. The first will is put forward on the grounds that Ird Northeliffe was of unsound mind whn the second will was executed and this is th question tht mujt be decided by the court if the case proceeds.
