Over I4,OOO Out
 at Schenectady
CITY NOW FACING AN INDUS
 TRIAL CRISIS
A LONG STRIKE FEARED
Employees AIIeee Discrimination Against Two Active Union Workers Employers Dispute That Claim.

Schenectady, N. Y. Nov. 25.-with more than 14,000 employees of the Gen. eral Electric company voluntarily idle. this city tonight faces an industrial crisis. There was, however, no excite ment to night resulting from todays walkout of nearly the entire force of the largest manufacturing plant of it's kind in the world.
 Protracted Struggle Feared.
 Today in a dozen or more labor head quarters meetings were held and prep arations begun for what many fear will be a lengthy struggle. The lead- CTS were emphatic in their statements that there os no strike as yet. They explained today's walkout as "dem- onstration of strengeth to show that the General Electric company cannot crush unionism"
 Discrimination Alleged.
 The union worl1men are not looking for shorter hours or more pay, they point out, but to correct what thay claim to be an unjust discrimination against two of their companions-- Frank L. Dujay and Miss Mabel Leslie both of whom have been active in union circles. The two were laid off recently, the company claiming their removal was a part of a policy of re- trenchment, The union workers, how ever, assert the laying off of the two was due to past activities in labor un- ion circles. They also claim that the receipts for the current month exceed by more than S1,0O0,000 the receipts for November, 1912.
 Orders Countermanded.
 George D. Emmons, general manager of all the company's plants,in formal statement today denied that any dis crimination was intended. This was the only statement that emanated from the company's offices. However. those close to the officials said preparations were being made to cope with any emergency that might arise, In this connection they stated that the con- pany had eountermanded all large in- coming orders.
 Weekly Payroll of $25o.ooo.
 Among the citizens of Schenectady the lay-off and the prospect Of pos sible lengthy strike is not welcome, as with it's weekly payroll of mora than S250,0 900 the plant provides the principal source of income for the city. There is. however, a strong uI- deFcuFrent of belief that the company will not reinstate Dujay and Miss Les lie, and that as long as the employees have taken matters into their own hands the officials will sit back quiet ly and await overtures from the work men.

DEALERS PLEAD
 FOR A HEARING. Cold Storage Attack Productive of Telesrams and Letters.

Washington, Nov. 25.-The double- barreled attack upon the cold storage dealers of the country by the depart ment of justice and congress brought many letters and telegrams to Attorney General McReynolds office today, ur- gently requesting that the dealers be granted a hearing before the depart ment takes the matter into the courts. The departments inquiry started Sat urday and has progressed only far enough for the agents to learn some thing of the task before them
 Pleas from dealers will not prevent the officials from prosecuting 1t with vigor, but cold storage men who come to Washington with facts to present that concern the business and their re- 1ations to other dealers will not be turned away.
 The attorney general is not so anx- ious to prosecute the dealers as he is to bring down the price of eggs and other produce in which the cold stor- age men deal If this can be accom- plished through an adjustment with the dealers, such a course may be adopted, provided any combination found to exist is broken up voluntarily and no criminality is disclosed.
