District Attorney Embrcc says, to show
that Monsignor Dunn. Father Farrell,
DR.. Potter and Robert W. Hebbcrd.
former secretary of the State Board
Of Charities, conspircd to defeat jus
tice in the Strong investigation.
Frank Moss, former counsel for 'hc
Thompson committee. cross-examincd
the police witnesses yesterday as coun-
sci for MIR. Hebberd. who is charged
with perjury. He sought to show that
the policemen trusted almost entirely
20 memory in making the final type
written copies of conversations taken
down on a slate.
Adolph Blaha read from his copy Of
an alleged conversation between Or.
Potter aud Hebberd on March is II
WAS in this conversation that Hcbbcrd
was quoted as advising DR.. Potter TO
stay away from his office while the
process servers were trying to sub
pTna him as witness before Com
missioner Strong. Blaha, answering
Mr.. Moss. said he took that remark as
relevant 80 the investigation"
"What made you think that was
relevant9' asked Mr.. Moss.
"Must a person be obliged to stay
away from place if he has clear
conscience7" snapped Blaha.
None was Irrelevant.
Mr.. Moss persuaded Blaha to admit
he did not take down any Irrelevant
remarks. though he had no way Of tell
ing in advance that they were going to
be such.
Alfred J. Talley, of counsel for
Father Farrell and Monsignor Dunn
chided Blaha for his apparent ungram-
matical reporting of DR.. Potter's Ian
guage. The last sentence had the
former Baptist clergyman saying; -.
al seen certain party. They amt
going to get anything from me-.
Blaha admitted the words were his.
Just before that he had Hebberd warn.
ing Potter that he must not leave
ANYBODY in his house. In reading the
record Blaha used "let' for leave.
He frankly admitted that the error was
his. i.
Besides Blaha. the policemen who
testified yesterday were Sergeant
George Yunge, in charge of the tap
ping, Patrick Slevin, James A. watson
and John J. Kennel.

the employers so long as there seemed
TO be any hope of adjustment on some
reasonable basis. The responsibility
for breaking up the conference rests
entirely upon the employers. As for
the union, il stands ready to submit
it's side of the controversy to the most
searching investigation of any compe-
tent and fair-minded tribunal"
In the statement issued by +. j
Vile. president of the manufacturers
association, he points out that the
union deliberately repudiated its own
pledge.
AT the outset" said Mr.. Vile, "the
employers demanded of the union tha'
they be free to increase or decrease
the number Of their employees to meet
the conditions in their factories and
TO retain such employees as they de-
sired on the basis of efficiency. The
union replied that it was willing to
grant this demand. in order that 8
conference might be arranged. Al
most Immediately after, the union re-
pudiated this agreement and demand
ed what is called a preferential union
shop In the interests of peace, the
manufacturers agreed to accept the
preferential union shop. as laid dowr
in the original protocol. The union
thereupon declared that this prefer
ence was not sufficient and that il
should be stretched to mean retention
in employment Of union men when any
Of the shop force had to be dis
charged. Then the union went still
further
at must be remembered that the
price of every garment made by piece
workers in the cloak and suit indus
try is settled by committee of the
expert workers in the shop, selected bs
their shop associates and indorsed by
the union officials and representa-
tive of the manufacturers. As soon
as this price is settled. stock is manu-
featured, and the fixed price thus sci
is communicated to the salesman and

price for the garment during the sea

New Factor introduced.

"Imagne what that would mean t'
the manufacturer. He would nevei
know at any time during the season al
what price he could sell his goods. i
he accepted an order for merchandis' 81
at a certain price. as likely as not h'
would be compelled to write to hii
customer within a day or a few weeks
that the price had been advanced am
that he could not meet his contrac
with the customer. 1t would meal
absolute chaos in the business.
"At the conference the manufacturer
stated that such situation would b'
impossible, that no industry could ex
ist under such conditions. They en-
deavored TO point this out to the unior
people, but it appeared that they haC
absolutely and definitely settled upor
this policy, and as soon as their con
tention was resisted they left the
room and the conference came TO al
end. At no time did the union ex
hibt an iota of good faith"
Morris Hillquit said last night tha
his report would be submitted to th'
Mayor to-day. The only hope of 6
settlement, he said. would be the ap
pointment of board of arbitration

have run from 1900 to $500, reaching
the latter high-water mark Monday.

In line with the efforts to prevent
all gatherings where children might
be exposed TO the germ of poliomyelitis,
Commissioner Emerson yesterday
asked Arthur Woods, Police Commits
sioner, to forbid block parties and all
street assemblies and to instruct mem
bers of the police force 70 warn chill

Arrangements were also completed
yesterday whereby the patrolmen will
aid the Health Department in keeping
watch over quarantined premises in
which paralysis patients are isolated

man on the beat, who will verify the
presence of the required number OF
children. see that the warning placard
is properly posted and that the prem
