 WALK OUT TO
 AID JAR MEN
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Sept 26-With the an- nouncement by labor leaders that ap- proXimately 25O000 union workers in various trades would quit their places tomorrow in aid of the striking car men here. it was believed tonight that the effort to tie up virtually all indus tries in Greater New York had reached an acute stage. The union officials declared that an additional 100000 workers would strike on Thursday and another 100000 on Friday, making a total of 450,000 out by the end of the week.
 It was asserted that 6,000 brewery workers, 115,000 employees in the build ing trades, and 250000 members of the United Hebrew trades were in favor of a sympathetic strike
 Twelve thousand teamsters also were reported ready to quit work Thursday or Friday. A meeting of the executive councB of the building trades was called for Thursday to take final action, after the business agents in Manhattan and the Bronx had voted for the strike.
 Mayor Mitchell summoned the labor leaders before him as soon as he heard of their plans. He said he desired to be informed directly as to what might be expected tomorrow. The union of ficials. he announced, told him they expected 200 000 workers to strike "as a starter
 After a meeting of the joint labor conference committee. strikers were supplied with pamphlets for distribu- tion throughout the city in which at tacks were made on the so-called Nor gan and Rockefeller interests.
 .-RncEafallar Mnrpoy, ap1 occn ciates control the transit lines of the city of New York" the pamphlets read, and they also control the rail- roads. mines and public utilities throughout the country as well as most of the banks and nearly all Of the money
 Members of the state legislature from this city who called on Governor Whitman late today and urged him to convene the senate and assembly in an extraordinary session to deal with the strike situation, submitted a draft of a proposed arbitration act.
 The governor although opposed to calling the legislature together at this time. studied the proposed law care fully and said he believed there was
 room" for it on the statue books,
 The act outlined would provide a fine of $5,000 and revocation of the li- cense of a corporation that breaks ar agreement to arbitrate. and a fine against the union breaking such agree ment, where the public interest is af- fected or likely to be affected.

NEW LONDON, Conn, Sept. 26.- Revision of American neutrality laws, with view to discouraging Americans from participating in Mexican faction al conflicts was suggested at the con- ference of the MeXican-American joint commission today. It was indicated that Mexico would be able to deal more effectively with rebels and ordi- nary bands of outlaws if the neutrality laws were amended in such manner as to make it an offense for an American citizen to participate in any way in a movement against a government with which the United States is at peace.
 The discussion of the neutrality laws of both countries was incident to con- sideration of suggested plans for the cooperation of the authorities of both countries in maintaining peace along the border The Mexicans charged that the inadequacy of the American laws made possible the propagation of conspiracies on American soil against established order in Mexico. The con- sideration of the operation of neutral ity laws was not confined to those of the United States. however. The Americans, since the beginning of the conference, have held to the argument that Mexico should so govern her frontier as to make unnecessary the presence of an American party on the south side of the boundary line, and attention was called to the cases in which the Mexican neutrality laws or their enforcement was at fault.

Combles Has Fallen

PARIS, Sept. 2G.-The town of Combles is entirely in the hands of the Anglo French forces. This is an- nounced in the official statement from the war office tonight. The battle north of the Somme is proceeding in favor of the entente allies. The French have also advanced farther north of Frcgicourt.
 Along the Bethune road the French have gained additional ground.
 A vast stock of munitions and pro- visions were captured in Combles, the statement says. and the town was found filled with German dead. Else where along the front in France there has been intermittent connonad- ing.

 It is pointed out that the entente allies have broken the spirit of the Germans at Verdun, definitely de- prived the enemy of an initiative and turned it in their own favor. Since the opening of the battle, the account says. the Germans have thrown into the battle s7 new divisions and 1T hattalionS of which 34 divisions were on the English front and B division. with She r battalions. were on tnt French front.
