Labor Officials Look for
Friendly Settlement
with Managers.
OPTIMISM PRECEDES
JOINT CONFERENCE
/, 900 Union Delegates Gather.
ing Here for Negotiations
Opening June /.

Amicable settlement OF the demands
Of 900 railroad workers for an
eight-hour day was predicted yesterday
by officials Of the several international
brotherhoods who will participate in
the conference with railroad managers
which will open here June /. The
union officials said that they expected
not fewer than 1000 railroad union
delegates TO arrive here to-day and to-
morrow.
While none of the officials would
make a statement pending the opening
of negotiations with the railroad man
ayers. it was argued that the roads
would hardly find it profitable expert
ment to defy their army OF employees,
antagonize the public and suffer the
heavy losses entailed by strike in OPP
posing the eIght-hour demands. They
believed that a discussion of the posi-
bility of a strike would be unnecessary
al the conference. +. VI. Gillette. gen.
eral chairman of the wage adjustment
board of the Order Of Railroad Con-
ductors, was among the officials VINO
professed 70 believe that a strike would
not be necessary.
Equally optimistic were the state
ments of G.. w. W. Hanger, Federal me-
diator, who is attempting TO settle the
differences between the New York Cen
trail Railroad and 5000 railroad teleg-
raphers and signslmen. Mr. Hanger
said that he felt certain an adjustment
that would be satisfactory TO both sides
would be reached soon.
Even commercial telegraphers. whose
eighth biennial convention opened at
the Hotel Continental yesterday said
that there was mo disposition 10 rush
matters" when asked whether they IN
intended TO carry out their reported
threat TO strike on the eve Of the Re
publican National Convention.
President S. J. konenkamp, of CHI
cago. said that the need of complete re-
ports on the organizations business
would prevent even a discussion OF this
subject for the present. He said that
action of some sort might be taken to-
/ day or tomorrow, however, on the
unions demands for the eight-hour
day and a 10 per cent increase in pay.
A further spread of the garment
workers strike was predicted yesterday
as a result of the announcement of
Meyer Schoenfeld labor manager for
/ the American Clothing Manufacturers
| Association, that the agreement be-
tween the association and the Amalga
mated Clothing Workers OF America
was not considered broken. Since the
agreement has prevented many worker:
/ from joining their striking comrades, II
/ is expected that the removal of this
obstacle will result in their walkout.

BARRED BY GUARD
MORE JEWS SAY
Maurice Simmons Submits
4 Additional Charges of
Race Prejudice.

Maurice Simmons, chairman Of the
Committee for the Protection OF the
Good Name of Immigrant Peoples, sub
mitted yesterday four additional COM
plants OF discrimination against Jews
in the national guard. These, together
with the charges filed By Mr.. Simmons
with Governor Whitman in the case OF
Max J. Klein, will be taken up at the
hearing before Adjutant General L. w.
Stotesbury in the State Arsenal. Thir-
ty-ffth Street and Seventh Avenue,
Wednesday morning. Mr.. Smmons's
statement reads in part:
"Since the filing Of the charge with
Governor Whitman by Max j. Klein
that he was prevented from joining
Battery D Of the Cd Field Artillery By
Captain H. E. Sullivan because he was
a Jew, several similar complaints have
been submitted to the committee. Most
of these, after careful scrutiny. appear
TO be we'll founded, and in several of
the cases the character and standing OF
the compliments seem TO youch for the
truth OF their stories
Calls 7th "Jewless Paradise"
"The ANONYMOUS officer who last week
said he did not believe there is any APP
probable prejudice against Jews in the
guard because of their religion, has
never heard OF that Jewless Paradise,
the 7th Regiment, nor ever seen Troops
A and C on parade with ranks bare OF
anv descendants of the ancient people.
His statement that Jewish boy in the
national guard is more sensitive than
bovs of other races is without founda-
ton. The American soldier and sailor
Of Hebraic ancestry measure up TO
any other element OF our population
serving in barracks or battleship or
elsewhere.
THAT the excuse of physical UNFIT
ness, such as fat feet, defective vision,
poor teeth. etc. cannot be considered for
the rejection of many Of the men who
have made complaints is shown by the
fact that the recruiting officers did not
offer them the privilege Of physical ex-
animation"
Accuses 22d Regiment.
Some of the charges submitted to Mr..
Simmons are those Of Lester l.. Winkel,
Of 955 Caldwell Avenue; Maurice Al

and Abram L. Nathan, 100 West Eighty
