BALKY BRAKES HOLD UP
MARKET ST. TROLLEYS
Cars Blocked for Half Hour and
Crowds Are Forced to Walk
From Ferry

For a short time today Market street
presented strange appearance. only one
or two lonely looking trolley cars were
gliding along east of City Hall
The army Of workers flooding in from
the ferries were greatly alarmed. Some
thought that the Government had COM
mandeered the trolleys for transports.
Others believed that the city was preparing
for an expected attack from German war
planes. And while the workers wondered
they had to walk. Many had to foot IL all
the way. from the ferry up hill to their
places OF employment beyond City Hall.
OF course, hundreds used the subway
trains, but these were crowded to capacity
and it was less punishment to walk.
The trouble was due to a trolley car
which stalled east OF City Hall lust as IL
passed the Lincoln Building. There the
brakes became locked and refused TO be
oomforted. While the crew worked with
the mechanism, cars piled up in the rear
and incidentally several lines were tied nm.
The balky brakes were pacihed after a
half hours hard work, in which the crews
Of several cars assisted.

ROBERT WALSH

Robert Walsh. a labor union official, ac-
cused by the Val O'Farrell Detective
Agency Of extorting blackmail from Gouve-
neur Cadwalader, treasurer Of the Cresson-
Morris company. which is manufacturing
munitions for the Government, was held in
$500 bail at hearing this afternoon be-
fore Magistrate Persch.
Bail was entered by an official Of the
International Modcrs' Union, who as
serted that the union would stand by Walsh
and make an investigation after his trial.
BY arrangement with Walsh's attorney by
telephone no testimony was taken and
Walsh was held for a further hearing on
Monday at o'clock,
Walsh was arrested at the Hotel Walton
on a warrant issued by Magistrate Persch
after Mr.. Cadwalader is said to have paid
the representative OF the international
Molders' Union $500 to call off the pickets
who have been threatening employees who
were working in an open-shop plant.
Walsh, when he made his demand, begged
Mr. Cadwalader not to say anything to
the union officials about the matter, for If ii
was known he would be hlackballed by the
International Union
Mr.. Cadwalader said
Despite the promise Of Samuel Gompers
to President Wilson that union labor would
not interfere with Government plants
during the progress or the war, Tor weeks
the international Molders Union has pick
eted the Cresson-Morrls plxnt. at Eighteenth
street and Allegheny avenue. Men have
been beaten and so seriously injured they
have been taken to the hospital, The tao
tics which made the McNamaras famous
throughout the West were resorted to, and
so serious were the handicaps under which
the plant operated our company found it
necessary to resort to extreme measures TO
stop assaults upon its men"
The Cresson-Morris Company is one Of
the oldest concerns in the city. 1t has al
ways operated upon the open-shop principle
With the commencement of the war large
Government contracts for accessories of
naval vessels were awarded to this concern,
and then the International Molders' Union
demanded of the management that the plant
be unionized. This was refused and Local
Is was ordered TO picket the plant.
Finally the company grew desperate
Police efforts were unavailing, and the
Government could not take a hand be-
cause it was a private concern The
OFarrcll Agency was engaged, and a de-
tectve finally gained the confidence of
Walsh and became friendly with him.

FOREST MANAGEMENT
FOR HANDLING Gypsy
MOTH PEST
Susceptible Trees Should Be Re-
placed by Varieties More Inn
mune to Attack-P0intels
from u. S. Dept. Of Agricul-
ture.

Washington, May 2o.-Forest man
aeement has been found by specialists
in the United States Department Oh
Agriculture to be an important means
of minimizing loss from the Gypsy
moth. This insect does much more
damage to certain kinds of trees than
to others. There are, for example, ten
species Of oak which occur in the re-
gion most liable to serious infestaloh
with the gypsy moth, and the removal
Of these trees from poor sites Where
the soil is thin or sandy would ehm-
mate a large amount of gypsy moth
food and at the same time make room
for faster growing species, whlch
would both be more valuable and 1ree
from moth attack. Conifers, with the
exception of larch are immune from
serious damage by the gypsy moth
when grown in pure stands. Many or
the sites now occupied by oak could be
devoted with much greater advantage
to this group.
In new publicati of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
Bulletin No. 4s4. it is suggested that
town forests would be useful means
Of providing opportunities for testing
on an adequate scale measures that
have been suggested for the control OF
the gypsy moth pest. individuals can
do comparatively little in this direction
because their efforts may be nullified
by the Indifference of neighbors on
whose property the moths are allowed
e. "a.
their value in the control of the gypsy
moth. town forests would doubtless
serve other useful purposes.
For woodlot owners who wish to i'm
provo their woods and at the same
time do their utmost to protect their
own property and their neighbors'
from the ravages Of the gipsv moth,
the bulletin contains the following
suggestions:
Cut all trees Of low commercial value
when they in any way interfere with
the growth and development Of trees
which are less liable to gypsy moth at
tack
Cut as soon as possible all trees
| which have begun to die. Dying trees
very often arc breeding places for in
furious insects other than the gipsy
moth.
Cut no thrifty tree solely on the
ground that it may be attacked by in
sects. excepting in rare cases Many
defoliated trees have fully recovered.
Cut no thrifty tree that is not inter-
fering with the growth Of a more val
| liable one. unless it can be replaced by
| something better.
! Confine all hardwood growth. as far
| as possible. to the best available soils.
Encourage the growth Of conifers on
| all sites not we'll adapted to hardwood
growth.
Keen all woodland so completely
stocked with trees that gypsy moth
food in the shape of underground will
be shaded out.
