BOOTBLACK TARS
END FERRY TIE-UP
Crews Hamper jerseys
Traffic by Strike, then
Return.

About 10000 residents Of New Jer-
sey Who use the ferries Of the Central
Railroad Of New Jersey were from
thirty minutes to an hour late yes
terday morning in arriving here be-
cause of a strike among firemen and
deckhands upon the seven boats oper-
sted by the company between Jersey
City, Liberty Street and Twenty-third
Street.
The strikers were members Of re-
Gently organized Ferry Employees
Union. More than 100 men left the
boats as they arrived in Jersey City
just before 5 o'clock.
Officials of the railroad called upon
the emergency crews and upon porters
and bootblacks familiar with ferry af-
fairs, to take the places Of the strikers,
and, after one-half hour Of delay, the
ferry service was continued, although
without much regard to schedules.
Yesterday afternoon the men sent a
protest to the company against the
discharge of a man named Grace. who
was active in organizing the new union.
w. c. Besler, president of the rail-
road, addressed a meeting of the
strikers in the immigration building
of the company in Jersey City. The
meeting was executive, but at its con-
clusion officers of the union stated that
all the men had returned to work, al
though the man, Grace, whose dis
charge brought about the strike, had
not been reinstated.
The men believe that the case OF
Grace will be reconsidered by the Off
GERS of the road within short time.

PLAGUE HALTS FLIGHT
OF WOMEN SOLDIERS
Aero Dash to Encampment
Grounds Abandoned.

Wireless stations along the Atlantic
coast expecting to catch this morning
the message, THE women Of the Ma
tional Service Camp are on their way
to Rowayton -the-Sound, Conn, by
aeroplanes," will listen in vain amid
the whirring Of their dynamos for the
tumble of clicks and clacks that bear
that message. The thirty women SOL
diers who were to fly TO their summer
camp will not start.
Infantile paralysis is the reason.
Connecticut health officials and police
are barring the highways into their
commonwealth. To stop the flying
women, it was necessary TO establish
an air patrol or appeal TO their mercy.
The authorities did the latter by tele--
graph. As result, the National
Special Aid Society announced las;
night that the Especial aid classes
would be held at the society's head
quarters, at 259 Fifth Avenue.

Meeting of Bosses and
Employees To-day May
Bring Peace.
WORK BY THURSDAY,
is HOPE OF MANY
Garment Makers Welcomed Plan
for Federal Intervention
After Long Struggle.

Hope that the lockout in the gar
ment trade which has endured for
three months is near an end was eV-
pressed last night after an eleven-hour
conference between representatives of
the workers and the employrs, at the
Holland House. In guarded language
it was set out in the following state
ment:
morris Hilquit, in behalf of the
international Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, and Messrs. William Klein and
Louis S. Levy. in behalf of the Cloak,
Skirt and Suit Manufacturers Protec-
tive Association. announce that such
substantial progress has been made
that if the same progress is continue /
they believe all differences will be
shortly adjusted. There will be a
joint meeting of the two full confer
ence committees tomorrow afternoon"
Thursday May Bring Work.
That the informal meeting Of repre-
sentatives of both sides should be fol-
lowed, not by another informal ses-
sion. but by n joint meeting OF the
two full committees. was hailed as the
most hopeful sign that has appeared
since the 10000 were thrown out of
employment II was even prophesied
that everyone would be back at work
by Thursday.
The more conservative, recalling that
a referendum must be taken after the
committees have reached an under
standing. thought that by week from
Monday the machines might be hum
mirg again.
One fact will rankle in the minds Of
the employees and may hinder an
amicable settlement, even after the
three months of idleness. IL will make
a virtual victory for the employers out
of any adjustment that does not sat
isfv every demand of the workers.
Before the lockout was declared, on
April %, the workers had been plan
ming a strike. Their plan was TO call
il at the end of July. At this season
of the year the rush season begins IN
the cloak and suit trade. Within the
next week or two ten thousand buyers
are due in New York TO place S25,-
100000 worth Of orders.
Workers Plan Foiled.
That plan was frustrated by the lock
out declared by the manufacturers. II
the workers 60 back without substan-
tial and lasting gain, they will have
been out of work during the season
when the employers could best spare
them and their plan to punish the
manufacturers will have been check
mated to large extent.
The rumors Of settlement come fast
on the heels of the prediction that the
Federal government would step in and
make a thorough investigation Of trade
conditions. They follow an announce
ment made after the afternoon session
of the conference that peace efforts had
failed and the union would keep up the
fight.

With Dolls for Patients,
Children Mimic Plague
Little Mothers of the East Side, Playing New Game
Weep Boy Companions Garry Victims
Away in Red Wagon Ambulance.

The children have found new game
to play. Down in Forsyth Street, where
they tumble together on the melting
pavements in search OF the air they
cannot find in their tenement homes,
they played it yesterday.
Grown-ups paused to watch them and
then went on, unsmiling. From door
steps and windows their mothers
looked on with great fear in their
eyes.
For this was how the new game went:
The little girls, a dozen or more, all
less than ten years old, were pretend
ing that their dollies were sick. The
little boys were the ambulance drivers.
who came changing up with a great
show of authority TO wrest the suffer
ing offspring from their heart-broken
parents. These made a great outcry,
but to no avail. The sick dolls were
placed in a red wooden wagon, cloth
was thrown over their heads and they
were driven away, while the little
mothers wept.
"The dollies have got the Sickness -
a small, maternal person in a torn yell
low dress offered in explanation of
their game OF life ana death.
To the children of Forsyth Street
there is only one sickness, and they are
warned of il every day. At night they
pray the Virgin, who, it is said, loves
little girls and boys, to keep il from
them.
A stranger who had never heard Of
infantile paralysis might easily guess
that there was plague in the city
from the eyes of the East Side moth
ers. All of them, no matter what
their nationality, look strangely alike
under the stress of the terror that
is upon them. AS you go about among

was that they had recently come from
Brooklyn and New York, were routed

limited precaution against infection

Due to the poor railroad facilities
at the summer colony, many of the
women and children had to pass all Of
Thursday night in the railroad station.
The little band of outcasts, many of
them utterly exhausted from their
sleepless night, began to arrive in New
York yesterday morning. Forty fam
lilies were affected by the sudden order
that took their summer homes away

strike leaders, Benjamin Schlesinger,
president of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union, said:
THE informal meeting OF representa-
tives Of the association and the union
for the purpose of working out a basis
for the resumption OF peace conferences
dld not bring the expected results. 1t
was found that the manufacturers are
as unyielding as ever on a number of
vital points, and the union is strongly
determined TO keep up the fight until
the association will either concede TO
the Just demands of the workers or
agree to arbitration.
The informal meeting was not in
any way, as far as the union was con-
cerned, prompted by the announcement
that President Wilson had appointed a
commission to investigate the cloak
strike in New York. On the contrary,
the union has received the news with a
feeling of delight.
United Trades Back Strikers.
officials Of the United Hebrew Trades
announced that the unions, with the
aid of the American Federation OF
Labor, would be in a position TO raise
the SS3, 900 a week necessary for the
maintenance of the strikers and to
bring the struggle to a successful con-
clusion.
Allan Robinson, chairman Of the citi-
zens' committee, announced yesterday
the receipt OF a letter from the Mutual
Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers
Association, in which Charles Name,
the secretary, urges that the committee
intervene in behalf Of the association
with the strikers.

least as much effort should be made TO
cause the union 10 meet US in confer
ence as was made TO induce the Protec-
tive Association to meet the union. We
are upward of 200 members, who make
living by the manufacture of cloaks
and suits"
Mr. Manne declared in his letter that
his association had partially completed
plans for the opening of its shops with
non-union help. If such course
should be pursued it is believed it
would result in making the situation
worse and might lead TO rioting and
serious trouble with the union strikers.
