Continued from First Page,

In the case of DAloia, who was not
arrested at the time of the outbreak,
but was placed under arrest almost
three hours later when he appeared
at the Fourth precinct station. Mr.
I.owy raised the point that the ar
rest was illegal. Mr. Lowry declared
that the police had no right to place
D'Aloia under arrest without war
rant. but Second Assistant Prosecu-
tor Andrew l. Van Blarcom. who
represented the State In today's pro-
ceedings, did not share the same
opinion. In this he was sustained by
the court. Mr.. Lowy intimated after
wards that he might bring suit for
false arrest against the officer on
behalf of his client.
Morris Ellenwitch and Abraham
Walinsky, two garment workers who
were arrested Sunday for going from
house to house selling tickets for the
benefit of the strikers, were dismiss
ed today with a reprimand by Judge
Herr. On Monday Abraham Stiglitz.
leader of the strikers, declared that
he did mot know the men and that
they had not been authorized by him
to collect money for the strikers. To-
day Stiglitz explained to the court
that the men had been authorized by
someone at the strikers headquarters
and that the money had been turned
into the treasury.
Judge Herr cautioned Stiglitz to be
careful that there should be no re-
currence of this sort of business, as
the next time he would not deal so
leniently with the offenders.
A mass-lneeting of the strikers will
be held this afternoon at the Metro
politan Theatre, Montgomery and
Charlton streets, at which it is ex-
pected that former Senator Everett
Colby and the Rev. e. A. WATSON,
rector of ST. Stephens Church, will
be among the speakers.
Some progress toward settling the
strike was made yesterday afternoon
through the efforts of Mr.. Colby, who
succeeded in getting about twenty
of the contractors to attend con-
ference in his office. The prospects
are that an arbitration conference
between both sides will take place in
the near future.
A committee of six was appointed
by the contractors and a similar COM
mittee from the strikers will prob
ably be selected today.
Inasmuch as only a small lumber
of the contractors were present the
committee selected was only ten
tative arrangement and is subject to
a final decision at a second confer
ence, to which the other contractors
will be invited to give them a chance
to state their views in the matter.
Rogers, Peet Company, of New
York, on whom to quite an extent the
settlement rests, have also been ap-
preached by Mr.. Colby and he was
informed that they would take the
matter into consideration. But SO
far they have not been heard flun.
AS basis of the proposed joint con-
ference those present yesterday pro-
posed an per centum increase of
the wage scale, with a fifty-four-
hour week. Mr. Colby hopes that the
proposed joint conference will lead
to the formation of an arbitration
body and the enlisting of the con-
tractors to aid in bringing the manu-
facturers around.
According to Mr. Colby, yesterdays
conference was harmonious through
out and showed honest effort Oh The
part of the contractors present to
meet the other side If possible.
