the temporary injunct;on granted last
week restraining Nassau County Of

two years. asked both sides to file

withhold his decision.
Two years is the length of time az
set by the complainant, Anton Wettoch,

Says 100000 More
Must Do War Work
u. S. Official Tells Manufac-
turers Not to Let Peace
Talk Halt Production

Five hundred thousand men and
women, skilled and unskilled, within
the next ninety days must be taken out
Of nonessential employment and put
into war work.
Fifty thousand of these are needed
in munitions factories at once. TO
enable this country to maintain its war
requirements, despite peace talk. it Is
necessary that factories with govern
ment contracts establish training
schools to create skilled workmen for
their especial needs.
II. +. Miles, chief of the training
service of the Department of Labor.
delivered this message to 500 manu-
tacturers of war materials at a meet
ing last night in the Washington Iry-
ing High School, Sixteenth Street and
Irving Place. Mr.. Miles made the ap-
peal on behalf of the Bureau of Air
craft Production and the Navy and
Ordnance departments.
He declared that manufacturers are
tagging in their production of mate
rials AS an instance, he said. one
munitions factory is producing dailv s
only sixty out of 100 pieces Of ord
nance required of it, while the OUTPUT
OF another is only 80 per cent.
Don't let the talk of peace be a
blow to our war activities at home !"
said Mr.. Miles. "Until peace is de-
clared we must proceed as if it were
still long way off. We are giving
the last punch to the Kaiser, and it is
the last punch that gives value to all
the fighting that has gone before
Mr.. Miles said there never was q
time when women are so much needed
for government service as now. If the
war continues and if American women
respond as readily as have the Eng
iish women, eventually 100000
American women will be doing war
work, he said

District Attorney
Demands All Books
In B. R. T. Inquiry
Will Try to Find Who the
Responsible Operating
Officials Are

District Attorney Lewis made a de-
mand yesterday for all books of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
necessary to straighten out the line of
responsibility in cobweb of sub.
sidiary corporations. This action was
taken as part of the John Doe in
quiry into the causes of the Brighton
Beach elevated train wreck last Fri
day in the tunnel at Malbone Street
and Flatbush Avenue.
II want to find out who the operat-
ing officials are" said District Attor-
ney Lewis. "My desire is that those
responsible for the catastrophe be pun
ished."
The John Doe and Richard Roe pro-
ceedings in which Mayor Hylan is
sitting as a magistrate are to be re-
sumed at IL o'clock this morning. In
preparation for this session District
Attorney Lewis examined nearly a
score of witnesses yesterday.
Had Little Instruction
Most of these were motormen en-
gagged in instructing green men. Mr..
Lewis has learned that the B. R. T.
does not consider man qualified to
operate train until he has had twenty
full days of instruction. Thus far, the
District Attorney says, he has been
unable to discover that Edward A. Luci-
ano. who drove the wrecked train, had
more than six days. experience. His
teacher. did not exceed two and one
half hours, Mr. Lewis says. according
to the best information in his posses
sion.
1t became known yesterday that some
of the witnesses summoned to the
District Attorneys office have re-
quested immunity as the price of their
testimony, and in this connection MIR.
Lewis said no one, high or low, in
the service of the B. r. T. would be
given immunity.
When Mr.. Lewis was questioned
about the calling as witnesses of men
higher up" he replied:
This proceeding will become inter-
esting by reason of those who are not
called"
Brakes in Good Order
1t was learned yesterday from all
examination of clog" maintained by
the B. r. 7. that the cars in the
wrecked Train naQ Deen inspected IN
October and reported satisfactory. The
post-wreck examination of the cars
made by Public Service Commission
experts working under Mr.. Lewis
showed that the air brakes on the first
and fifth cars in the train were in
good shape. The fact that the brakes
on these two cars were in working or
der is sufficient, according to Mr..
Lewis, to refute the contention of the
motorman that the brakes refused to
work.

tion brought by Mrs. Cora Darlington

ducer, testified that it was not through

jamin Hampton, vice e-president Of the
American Tobacco Company, interested
in moving picture enterprises, admit
ted Mrs. Wilkening's statement that
she had brought about a meeting be-
tween him and Miss Pickford and that
he offered the star $40 600 week for
eighty-fve weeks, S150,000 as a bonus,
the equal division Of profits from the
sale Of the films and half ownership
in company to be named for Miss
