FOR LOSS OF SCOTT
International Now* 8srvio«.
NEW LONDON, Nov 18.—The
mists of mystery have been cleared
away from the sinking of the tugboat
T. A. Scott while she was escorting
the Deutschland from this port early
yesterday morning by a suit filed by j
the Scott Tugboat Company against
the merchant submarine for twelve
thousand dollars damages.
All sorts of rumors were rife soon
after the accident as to the presence
of a fast power boat which did the
rimming and an armed war subma
lines with a gun mounted on her deck
The navy department immediately
sent naval officers to investigate the
rt p orts.
The filing of the suit shows clearl>
that the tugboat officials are confi
dent that the Deutschland ran Into
the Scott and that the blame for the
accident rests with her officers.
The libeling of the submarine la not
expected to delay her sailing when sh<
is ready us it Is understood that the
money will be paid or a bond put up
pending court proceedings.
GIGANTIC STRUGGLE NOW
IS BREWING BETWEEN
CAPITAL AND LABOR
'(tier-national New* Service.
NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—Signa point
to a gigantic struggle between capital
and labor in the near future. The es
sentials for the mixing of a devil's
broth of domestic dlssentlon are al
ready at hand. The president's leg
islative program, the stand of the
American Federation of Labor against
thi3 program, and the newly formed
conference board of employers in this
city represent the forces which may
bring on the disruption of peaceful
pursuits.
The president intends to propose to
congress, in the message he is now
preparing, a compulsory arbitration
law of some sort. At the special ses
sion of the American Federation of
Labor now being held at Baltimore
a strong resolution against compul
sory arbitration of any sort has bene
passed. And in addition there is the
industrial board of employers now
working In this city on plans to con
test the Adamson law and to prevent
indiscriminate legislation favoring
labor. The conference board is com
posed of corporation managers and
largo omployera who employ over
seven million men and represent
wealth to the extent of Qlne billion
dollars.
Expectation of future trouble be
tween capital and labor was voiced
yesterday at Washington by Congress
man Adamson. He said in a speech
before the chamber of commerce that
he did not think the railway employes
would B’rlke pending the consideration
of the law which bears his name b>
the courts, but, he declared, if th y
r iO and the trains could no longer bi
run the only course to be pursued
would bo for the government to taki
over the railroads and operate them
on the basis of government owner
ship.
Capital is organized to defend its
rights, unlltcd labor presents a strong
opposition to any further enslavement
of working men, and congress is to be
asked next month to pass a law that
is being protested by labor in Canada
where for a time it was considered to
be the wise solution of labor difficul
ties.
