MAYOR Mitchell sent an answer yes

The Mayor said that as the manuiact-
urers in tho protective association

step should be an attempt by them to
influence their fellow members.
Seven pickets were arrested yester'

The Manufacturers' Protective Asso-

return to their shops while there was
yet time and before their places had
been taken by those who are willing

BENJAMIN Schlessinger, president o.

workers are in them. They stand a

The Citizens Committee, which is
trying 10 end the strike, issued a state
ment which said in part: THE lockout
in the cloak and suit industry, by
which 10000 workers are deprived OF
their means of livelihood, is, in the
opinion of this committee, deliberate

Rear Admiral Bradley Allen Fiske
went on the retired list yesterday
afternoon. Quiet hammered and smil-
ing, the slim, grayhaired man who was
mentioned by Admiral Dewey for
"heroic conduct" at the battle Of
Manila received his friends in a room
decorated with the Stars and Stripes

no reference to his recent controversy

It contained press notices Of his bitter
fight with Secretary Daniels. 1t had
been presented to him by the Ameri

Allen Fiske had urged preparedness
against war. lingering the pages Of
the book, he turned TO the little dele
cation that had crowded into the room
and made his last speech as an active
member of the United States Navy.
Urge the people TO read again the
story Of this nation before it became
so rich" said the admiral. Urge them
to read the almost forgotten story Of
our Revolution and the services of
George Washington. Make them see
that we owe almost all we have and
almost all we are TO Washington.
