15 Reasons Why First Mortgages Guaranteed by This Company Are the Best Investment for Prudent People. 13. So shrewd ait accumulator as the late Hetty Green used to say that there was nothing equal to the steady earning of interest, that the way to get ahead was to make sure that your principal was safe and g accumulate the interest. B The trouble with speculation is that, while you make profits at times that are very pleasing, you make losses at other times, and In the long run, you are generally worse off than if you had made neither, but had kept your principal undisturbed and received regular interest pay¬ ments on it. It Is strange what a fascina¬ tion there is in trying to buy cheap and sell dear and how tame it seems to ntartv people rot to see their principal going up or down, but only produc¬ ing interest.

As the organizers have concentrated their efforts on the Homestead works, the showing made to-night is an ex- collent one.

George Chalmers Richmond took the side of the steel strikers yes¬ terday in an address before the Re¬ gional Conference of Baptist Ministers at th«! Hungarian Baptist Church, 225 East Eightieth Street. He assailed Elbert H. Gary, praised the employes of the United States Steel Corporation, prophesying victory for them, and asked all clergymen to rally to their support. A strike of clergymen would be "all torn foolery," however, he asserted. He suggested a minimum salary of $1,500 for unmar¬ ried clergymen and a minimum of $2,500, with quarters, for married pas¬ tors. Dr. Richmond formerly was rector of a Protestant Episcopal parish in Philadelphia. He was deposed by the bishop, and then became u Baptist clergyman.

The scale adopted for presentation in the petition was as. follows: All employes receiving less than $600 a year to get an increase of $150. All employes receiving over $«i00 to be given an increase of $420. The temporary president of the meeting declared that under no cir¬ cumstances would the association alhu¬ ate with the American Federation of Labor or any other organized labor or¬ ganisation. "Neither will we go out on strike," he added. The meeting was held under difflcul- tic- owing to the Mayor's letter threat¬ ening dismissal to "agitators within the city departments." At the outset the delegates found themselves with¬ out the services of their president, George Stansfeld, and Secretary Sam¬ uel Prager, for this reason. Put twenty-eight, women delegates and twenty-five men delegates were present in the lobby of the .Municipal Building at the time called for the meeting. .Meet With Another Rebuff Hero again they met with a rebuff. The janitor of the building refused to allow them to occupy the room which they declared Borough Présidant Dow- ling had ordered for them. It was at this ncture t' at Alexander Cooper, of the Department of Public Works, a member of the association, suggested the meeting be held in his office. There Hugoo V. Wittenberg, of the Department of Finance, was elected temperory president ami Thomas W. A. Crowe, of the Legal Department, was appointed temporary secretary. In asking for the election of Mr. Wittenberg, Alexander Cooper said. "There isn't a mayor or any other po¬ tentate in New York or out of it who wiil get him to quit. He is made of the right stud'."' immediately after election Mr. Wit¬ tenberg reviewed the activities of th" association. He said that because of th<- fear "that their heads might be de¬ caí. ted Mr. Stansfield and .Mr. Prager would la- inactive for a short while." He declared lia.' association represented a membership of 1K,üü;> city employes. At this point Mr. Crowe said the committee which had been in session to determine the necessary increase in pay had adopted a schedule of 25 per :.' increase for all. This was objected to by Abraham Bailey, of the Fi¬ nance Department on the ground that it increased the salaries of the higher [¡aid empioyes out of proportion to the lower- a r; les. Schedules Aro Adopted After further discussion a commit¬ tee of five, composed of Mr. Crowe, iur. Bailey, Albert Owens, of Plant and Structtir« Cornelius Murphy, of Street (leaning, and Mi is Catherine Reilly, of the Borough President's office, was ap- pointed to discuas the matter. Fifteen minutes later they returned with the schedules which were finally adop ed. President Wittenberg then declared he loyall y of tin a ¡i ociat ion. He said ii would be willing to cooperate with any «ta." organ izal ion nol afl'il iated with labor organizations, but under no circumstances would its members go a- on strike. The m meeting is called for Th da; evening in the lobby of the M un icipal Buildi ng. rge W. Morton, jr., leader of the Union f hni« al Mc-n of Queens, who su pended from duty by Borough President Connolly on Saturday on charges of insubordination, lateness and failure to punch a time clock, yes¬ terday appeared to answer the accusa¬ tions before Commissioner of Public Works Sullivan. Morton asked that the case be a«l- journed until Thursday, so that he might obtain counsel. He also re¬ quested that the ease be heard before Commissioner Sullivan, saying that he would call President Connolly as a witness to prove his case. Both re¬ quests were granted. Roosevelt at Navy Yard Trying to Settle Forty-four- Hour Week Demand Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt is to try to settle the question of a forty-four- hour week for employes of navy yards.

The Assistant Secretary also in¬ spected work now being done on two big super-dreadnoughts, which will be among the four largest ships alloat when completed. Germans Plan to Remain In Letvia Throughout Winter LONDON, Sept. 22.---The German troops in the Baltic region intend to remain in Letvia all winter, making their headquarters at Mltau, according to a Central News dispatch received at Copenhagen from Helsingfors. Cell eral von der Goltz, the German com¬ mander, a' not at Mitau, it is added. In reply to a demand by the .^u- premo Council of the peace conference that tire German military evacuate the Baltic provinces, the German govern¬ ment early this month declared that these troops were not under its control. Spiritualists Say They Heard From Lost Liner Carter Tug to Go in Seareh for Valbanera, Believed To Be Lost HAVANA, Sept. 22.- Chartered by members of the Dr. Antonio Valetti Society, an organization of Spiritual¬ ists, a tugboat is expected to leave this port shortly in search of the over¬ due Spanish steamship Valbanera, which official reports declare sank re¬ cently near Key West, with the prob¬ able loss of all on board. The Spiritualists claim to have re- ceived a communication at a recent seance from the spirit of Dr. Valetti that the Valbanera was still afloat near Cap Sal. They declare it their belief that the steamship still is help¬ lessly drifting at sea and that, while many of those on board have perished, thirty survivors have been picked up by a small schooner, which« is pro¬ ceeding to some distant port. The members of the society say they intend to carry out their plan for a search unless the spirit of Dr. Valetti intervenes and counsels aban¬ donment of the projected voyage. Carrier pigeons are to be taken along as a means of communication with the shore, the tug having no wireless equipment. -»- "To Hell With Kings!"

To hell with the kings!'' ri«hi.s quotation closes r. letter to A. T. Van Scoy, president of the Milwaukee Association of Commerce, from Mayor Hoan, in which the latter refuses to in¬ vite King Albert ami Queen Elizabeth, of Belgium, to visit Milwaukee. The Mayor olfers, however, to forward such an invitation presented by any group of citizens. Mayor Hoan's letter, in part, read: "Please do not ask mo to invite any King, Kaiser or Czar. The people of Milwaukee in choosing a Mayor do not quire of him a forfeiture of self- respect. "Did they not. know that Socialists refused to hobnob with rince Henry and royalty before my election.

Huge waves sweeping over the isl¬ and carried away sepulchres containing the bodies of former inhabitants, it was reported, swept all live stock into the sea and destroyed other food sup¬ plies, leaving the inhabitants, whose only hope of survival lay in the im¬ pregnability of the lighthouse in which they gathered, absolutely destitute.

Collars Germans Declare Austrian Red Book Is Alibi for Nation Berlin Newspapers and Un¬ official Statements Say Real Blame for War Must Be Accepted by Vienna BERLIN, Sept. 2! (By The Asso¬ ciated Press!.-.German newspapers are to-day arguing that the Red Book just issued by the Austrian govern¬ ment prove.- Germany earnestly trieil to prevent the outbreak of the great war in 1914, and that Count LeopoH von Berchtold, Austrian Foreign Min¬ ister in 1914, bears the bulk of the ibility by Iris "underhand tac¬ tics and deception." The belief that Germany can demand a revision of the peace terms on the strength of the Red Book is expressed by the "Boersen Zeitung," which inti¬ mates that the publication of the Red Book was planned to bring about such a demand. The "Kreuz Zeitung" de¬ nounces what it calls the "inextinguish¬ able guilt of Austrian diplomacy." while several other papers praise the courage and honesty that brought about the revelations of the Red Book. The ''Tageblatt" says Germany was re¬ quired to keep silence about facts at the peace conference, so as not to hinder Austria's chances for a better Dei ce. Almost the only paper to criticise the German government is the "Tage¬ blatt," which says the government in i'alt "«¡ill not show the slightest in¬ terest in the situation and acted idi¬ otically," adding that "Germans in power at thai time played trie part of thorough-going fools." The newspa¬ per declares the revelations of the Red Book an "awful disgrace for Germany." "The governmental incapacity of the Hohenzollerns for the last thirty years was our guilt, for which we must now pay," the newspaper concludes. While no official stateement has as yet been obtainable in connection with the publication of the Rial Book, For¬ eign Office attaches who have been a ¡ling discuss the disclosures have ventured the opinion tirai "probably t'a' most surprised men who read them be Dr. Theeobald von Bethmann- llollweg, former German Imperial hi ncollor. Gottli rb von Jagow, former Minister of Foreign Aairs, and pos- .'-.'. Viscount Grey, who in 1914 was British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs." Yah* Club Waiters Strike; Eat Members' Dinners 100, including Cooks, Go Out iit Tiplees Restaurant for More Pay One hundred vantera; and cooks em¬ ployed at the Yale Club. Forty-fourth Street and Vanderbilt Avenue, struck yesterday noon, but not until they had consumed nearly all the food prepared for the members. Fight hundred would-be diners stood in the corridors outside the dining room watching their servitors feast. Then they went else- where for luncheon. The strikers, having finished their repast, filed out of the building. Some of them took up positions outside the club as ¡rickets. The reason for pick¬ eting was not clear, as the dining room was closed and no effort was made to reopen it. D. B. Cashin, superintendent, said it might remain closed indefinitely. The strikers demand a 20 per cent wage increase, a day off each week and weekly, instead of monthly pay¬ days. The waiters have been receiving $80 a month, Cashin said. This is more than the cook are paid. Meals have been served at a nominal cost at the club and tipping is tabooed. "The restaurant hasn't made any money for the club in some time," Cashin asserted. 'It's a nuisance and I don't know when it will open again. We simply can't meet the demands of the strikers." Commodore Benedict Gaining GREENWICH, Conn., Sept. 22.. Marked improvement was shown to¬ night in the condition of Commodore E. C. Benedict, banker, philanthropist and yachtsman, who was to-day reported critically ill at his home in Indian Harbor.

Printers' Dispute To Be Taken Up at Joint Conference Officers of "Big 6" Willj Meet Employers to Dis¬ cuss Demand for 44-Hour Week and Wage Increase An effort to avert a general walkout of book and job printers, which would involve more than 10,000 men, will be made a; a conference Thursday be¬ tween representatives of the Employ¬ ing Printers' Association and Typo¬ graphical Union No. 6."Big Six." Announcement that such «a confer¬ ence has been called was made yester¬ day at the office of the union. It was said the conference is to be held or. the initiative of the union leaders. Charles Hawkes. secretary of the em¬ ployers' organization, said yesterday that every effort is being made to avert a general walkout. Leon II. Rouse, president, and John O'Connell, secretary, of "Big Six." will represent the employes. The Typographical Union has called a gen¬ eral meeting for next Sunday to take a general strike vote. It is hoped that the results of the conference will ob¬ viate the necessity of calling a gênerai strike. The union demands an in¬ crease of $14 a week and the forty-four hour week. The latest offer of the employers is an increase of Ç'î a week and the institution of the forty-four hour week May 1, 1921. Pressmen's Union Xo. 51, which is a* odds with its international, will not take part in the conference. "We are through with conferences. Tire next move is up to the employers," Secretary James J. Bagley said yester¬ day. Mr. Bagley declared the pressmen will never again enter into written agreements with the employers. "We have found contracts to he an impediment," said Mr. Bagley. "We do not intend to tie our hands by con¬ tracts in the future. Wo want to pull out the men whenever we think it nec¬ essary. Contracts will compel us to stay on the job whenever we think we have real grievances to present before the contract expires." The pressmen have called a confer¬ ence of their branch of the printing industry and other branches for to¬ morrow, where the question of a gen¬ era! strike will bn discussed. The con¬ ference was called at a meeting of the Pressmen's Union in Washington Irv¬ ing High School, and was votad unani¬ mously. More than 2',T0:i were pres¬ ent. The jnceting culled a half-holiday for all pressmen for Wednesday to enable them to attend the conference. Commenting yesterday upon the charges made by Leon II. Roifte that officials of the International Typo¬ graphical Union have been working in collusion with the employing printers in this city to prevent the realization of the local union's demands, Marsden G. Scott, president of the international, said yesterday: "Some leaders seem to have been amiatpd by shell shock in these troub¬ lous days." Millinery Strike Spreads Downtown millinery workers voted yesterday to join the strike of the up¬ town employes. The time for calling the walk-out was left in the hands of the executive board of the Millinery and Ladies' Straw Hat Workers' Union. More than 500 employes of the two yards of tire Staten Island Shipbuilding Corporation were locked oui when they reported to work yesterday morning because they took last Saturday after¬ noon off. À. J. Ilinton, secretary of the company, said the men had been warned of the government ruling re¬ quiring them to work forty-eight hours a week, and they forfeited their j ¦¦':#- -.>>. ¡ion they disregarded it. Demanding a thirty-nine-hour week,; the 3,500 members of the New York local of the International Jewelry! Workers' Union voted last night at Webster Hall, 119 Fast Eleventh .Street, for a general strike, effective! this morning. More than 250 jewelry concerns are expected to be affected by this move. In 1916 the workers won the forty- eight-hour week. Last January the union leaders gained a forty-four-hour week without a strike. Representa¬ tives of several of the manufacturers announced that their employers were ready t«> accede to the new demand, but tin- leaders decided that all the men will be kept out until two-thirds of the employers give in. The Brooklyn Union Gas Company obtained a temporary injunction yes¬ terday to restrain the leaders of its striking employes from interfering with the operations of the company in any way. It was alleged by the com¬ pany that gas pipes had been flooded with water, meters punctured and em¬ ployes assaulted. Union leaders denied responsibility for any such acts. The order to show cause why a permanent injunction should not be granted is re¬ turnable September 30. Mews Writers Form Union at Rochester ROCHESTER, Sept. 22.

Ko le hak Reported To Have Resigned\ .___ i Moscoiv Soviet Says Ad- mirai Has Placed Him¬ self Inder Denikine LONDON, Sept. 22 (By The Asso¬ ciated Press)..Admiral Kolchak, head of the All-Russian government at Omsk, has informed the Allies that he resigns the title of chief ruhr to Gen¬ eral Denikine, leader of the anti-Bol- shevik forces in Southern Russia, ac¬ cording to a wireless dispatch sent out by the Soviet government at Moscow. The message admits the Bolshcviki have abandoned Kursk after severe fighting against General Denikine's troops. The Bolsheviki have maôe all prep¬ arations for the evacuation of Petro¬ grad, aconliig to a Flelsingfors dis¬ patch to the Centra) News Agency, transmitted from Copenhagen. The following appeal, addressed to its followers, has been issued by the Russian soviet government at Mos¬ cow: "The Red armies have abandoned Kharkov, Dielostrof, Ekaterinodar, Tsaritsyn and Kiev; the counter-rev¬ olution in the region of the Don is extending, and we have withdrawn ''ram the region from which soviet Russia could receive coal and fire¬ wood. "We need not fear Denikine 'the anti-Bolshevik leader in the south). Workmen and peasants, you know how Kolchak advanced. We stopped him and now are pursuing him in the Ural legion. We shall follow him still fur¬ ther into Siberia. "Our weakness as concerns Deni¬ kine is in not having finished quickly enough with the drunken bands of General Gregorieff. Those traitors have disagreed on our rear and trou¬ bled our front, while we, on the other hand, have not attached sufficient im¬ portance to the southern front. "We did not take notice in time of Denikine's offensive. 11.- who sleeps puts himself voluntarily into the hands of his enemies. "Workmen and peasants, conquer the coal ami the factories w 11 give us the D< Va- D< nikine and the factory chimneys will smoke and the locomotives and trains of v. heat will circulate." WASHINGTON.

15 ReasonsWhy First Mortgages Guaranteed

by This Company Are the BestInvestment for Prudent People.

13.So shrewd ait accumulator

as the late Hetty Green usedto say that there was nothingequal to the steady earning ofinterest, that the way to getahead was to make sure thatyour principal was safe and gaccumulate the interest. B

The trouble with speculationis that, while you make profitsat times that are very pleasing,you make losses at other times,and In the long run, you aregenerally worse off than if youhad made neither, but had keptyour principal undisturbed andreceived regular interest pay¬ments on it.

It Is strange what a fascina¬tion there is in trying to buycheap and sell dear and howtame it seems to ntartv peoplerot to see their principal goingup or down, but only produc¬ing interest.

We haue guaranteed $700,000,000in the pad 27 years ana no in-cestor has tier lost a ¿ollar.

At $150 to $420

The municipal and county employesin a special meeting in the MunicipalBuilding last nicht unanimouslyadopted a resolution "humbly to peti¬tion the Board of Estimate" to increasethe salaries of all civil service em¬ployes.The scale adopted for presentation

in the petition was as. follows: Allemployes receiving less than $600 ayear to get an increase of $150. Allemployes receiving over $«i00 to begiven an increase of $420.The temporary president of the

meeting declared that under no cir¬cumstances would the association alhu¬ate with the American Federation ofLabor or any other organized labor or¬ganisation. "Neither will we go out onstrike," he added.The meeting was held under difflcul-

tic- owing to the Mayor's letter threat¬ening dismissal to "agitators withinthe city departments." At the outsetthe delegates found themselves with¬out the services of their president,George Stansfeld, and Secretary Sam¬uel Prager, for this reason. Puttwenty-eight, women delegates andtwenty-five men delegates were presentin the lobby of the .Municipal Buildingat the time called for the meeting.

.Meet With Another RebuffHero again they met with a rebuff.

The janitor of the building refused toallow them to occupy the room whichthey declared Borough Présidant Dow-ling had ordered for them. It was atthis ncture t' at Alexander Cooper, ofthe Department of Public Works, amember of the association, suggestedthe meeting be held in his office.There Hugoo V. Wittenberg, of the

Department of Finance, was electedtemperory president ami Thomas W. A.Crowe, of the Legal Department, wasappointed temporary secretary.

In asking for the election of Mr.Wittenberg, Alexander Cooper said."There isn't a mayor or any other po¬tentate in New York or out of it whowiil get him to quit. He is made of theright stud'."'

immediately after election Mr. Wit¬tenberg reviewed the activities of th"association. He said that because ofth<- fear "that their heads might be de¬caí. ted Mr. Stansfield and .Mr. Pragerwould la- inactive for a short while."He declared lia.' association representeda membership of 1K,üü;> city employes.At this point Mr. Crowe said the

committee which had been in session todetermine the necessary increase inpay had adopted a schedule of 25 per

:.' increase for all. This was objectedto by Abraham Bailey, of the Fi¬nance Department on the ground thatit increased the salaries of the higher[¡aid empioyes out of proportion to thelower- a r; les.

Schedules Aro AdoptedAfter further discussion a commit¬

tee of five, composed of Mr. Crowe, iur.

Bailey, Albert Owens, of Plant andStructtir« Cornelius Murphy, of Street(leaning, and Mi is Catherine Reilly, ofthe Borough President's office, was ap-pointed to discuas the matter.

Fifteen minutes later they returnedwith the schedules which were finallyadop ed.

President Wittenberg then declaredhe loyall y of tin a ¡i ociat ion. He said

ii would be willing to cooperate withany «ta." organ izal ion nol afl'il iatedwith labor organizations, but under nocircumstances would its members goa- on strike.The m meeting is called for

Th da; evening in the lobby of theM un icipal Buildi ng.

G« rge W. Morton, jr., leader of theUnion f T« hni« al Mc-n of Queens, who

su pended from duty by BoroughPresident Connolly on Saturday oncharges of insubordination, latenessand failure to punch a time clock, yes¬terday appeared to answer the accusa¬tions before Commissioner of PublicWorks Sullivan.Morton asked that the case be a«l-

journed until Thursday, so that hemight obtain counsel. He also re¬quested that the ease be heard beforeCommissioner Sullivan, saying that hewould call President Connolly as awitness to prove his case. Both re¬

quests were granted.

Germans DeclareAustrian Red BookIs Alibi for Nation

Berlin Newspapers and Un¬official Statements SayReal Blame for War MustBe Accepted by Vienna

BERLIN, Sept. 2! (By The Asso¬ciated Press!.-.German newspapersare to-day arguing that the Red Bookjust issued by the Austrian govern¬ment prove.- Germany earnestly trieilto prevent the outbreak of the greatwar in 1914, and that Count LeopoHvon Berchtold, Austrian Foreign Min¬ister in 1914, bears the bulk of the

ibility by Iris "underhand tac¬tics and deception."The belief that Germany can demand

a revision of the peace terms on thestrength of the Red Book is expressedby the "Boersen Zeitung," which inti¬mates that the publication of the RedBook was planned to bring about sucha demand. The "Kreuz Zeitung" de¬nounces what it calls the "inextinguish¬able guilt of Austrian diplomacy." whileseveral other papers praise the courageand honesty that brought about therevelations of the Red Book. The''Tageblatt" says Germany was re¬quired to keep silence about facts atthe peace conference, so as not tohinder Austria's chances for a betterDei ce.

Almost the only paper to criticisethe German government is the "Tage¬blatt," which says the government ini'alt "«¡ill not show the slightest in¬terest in the situation and acted idi¬otically," adding that "Germans inpower at thai time played trie part ofthorough-going fools." The newspa¬per declares the revelations of the RedBook an "awful disgrace for Germany.""The governmental incapacity of the

Hohenzollerns for the last thirty yearswas our guilt, for which we must now

pay," the newspaper concludes.While no official stateement has as

yet been obtainable in connection withthe publication of the Rial Book, For¬eign Office attaches who have beena ¡ling discuss the disclosures haveventured the opinion tirai "probablyt'a' most surprised men who read them

be Dr. Theeobald von Bethmann-llollweg, former German Imperial

hi ncollor. Gottli rb von Jagow, formerMinister of Foreign Aairs, and pos-

.'-.'. Viscount Grey, who in 1914 was

British Secretary of State for ForeignAffairs."

Fight hundredwould-be diners stood in the corridorsoutside the dining room watching theirservitors feast. Then they went else-where for luncheon.The strikers, having finished their

repast, filed out of the building. Someof them took up positions outside theclub as ¡rickets. The reason for pick¬eting was not clear, as the diningroom was closed and no effort wasmade to reopen it. D. B. Cashin,superintendent, said it might remainclosed indefinitely.The strikers demand a 20 per cent

wage increase, a day off each weekand weekly, instead of monthly pay¬days. The waiters have been receiving$80 a month, Cashin said. This ismore than the cook are paid. Mealshave been served at a nominal costat the club and tipping is tabooed."The restaurant hasn't made any

ployers' organization, said yesterdaythat every effort is being made to averta general walkout.Leon II. Rouse, president, and John

O'Connell, secretary, of "Big Six."will represent the employes. TheTypographical Union has called a gen¬eral meeting for next Sunday to take ageneral strike vote. It is hoped thatthe results of the conference will ob¬viate the necessity of calling a gêneraistrike. The union demands an in¬crease of $14 a week and the forty-fourhour week. The latest offer of theemployers is an increase of Ç'î a weekand the institution of the forty-fourhour week May 1, 1921.

Pressmen's Union Xo. 51, which is a*odds with its international, will nottake part in the conference."We are through with conferences.

Tire next move is up to the employers,"Secretary James J. Bagley said yester¬day.

Mr. Bagley declared the pressmenwill never again enter into writtenagreements with the employers."We have found contracts to he an

impediment," said Mr. Bagley. "We donot intend to tie our hands by con¬tracts in the future. Wo want to pullout the men whenever we think it nec¬essary. Contracts will compel us tostay on the job whenever we think we

have real grievances to present beforethe contract expires."The pressmen have called a confer¬

ence of their branch of the printingindustry and other branches for to¬morrow, where the question of a gen¬era! strike will bn discussed. The con¬ference was called at a meeting of thePressmen's Union in Washington Irv¬ing High School, and was votad unani¬mously. More than 2',T0:i were pres¬ent. The jnceting culled a half-holidayfor all pressmen for Wednesday toenable them to attend the conference.Commenting yesterday upon the

charges made by Leon II. Roifte thatofficials of the International Typo¬graphical Union have been working incollusion with the employing printersin this city to prevent the realizationof the local union's demands, MarsdenG. Scott, president of the international,said yesterday:"Some leaders seem to have been

amiatpd by shell shock in these troub¬lous days."

Millinery Strike SpreadsDowntown millinery workers voted

yesterday to join the strike of the up¬town employes. The time for callingthe walk-out was left in the hands ofthe executive board of the Millineryand Ladies' Straw Hat Workers' Union.

More than 500 employes of the two

yards of tire Staten Island ShipbuildingCorporation were locked oui when theyreported to work yesterday morningbecause they took last Saturday after¬noon off. À. J. Ilinton, secretary ofthe company, said the men had beenwarned of the government ruling re¬

quiring them to work forty-eight hoursa week, and they forfeited their j ¦¦':#-

-.>>. ¡ion they disregarded it.

Demanding a thirty-nine-hour week,;the 3,500 members of the New Yorklocal of the International Jewelry!Workers' Union voted last night atWebster Hall, 119 Fast Eleventh.Street, for a general strike, effective!this morning. More than 250 jewelryconcerns are expected to be affectedby this move.

In 1916 the workers won the forty-eight-hour week. Last January theunion leaders gained a forty-four-hourweek without a strike. Representa¬tives of several of the manufacturersannounced that their employers were

ready t«> accede to the new demand, buttin- leaders decided that all the men

will be kept out until two-thirds of theemployers give in.

The Brooklyn Union Gas Companyobtained a temporary injunction yes¬terday to restrain the leaders of itsstriking employes from interferingwith the operations of the company inany way. It was alleged by the com¬

pany that gas pipes had been floodedwith water, meters punctured and em¬

ployes assaulted. Union leaders deniedresponsibility for any such acts. Theorder to show cause why a permanentinjunction should not be granted is re¬

turnable September 30.
