1t will be noted that DR.. Francke

feelings about resuming trade with
Germany after the war. He put it
briefly
"Who wants to handle the goods
made by hands that perpctrated the
atrocities in Belgium? Let them keep
their goods, and to nell with them!"
The cheers brought forth by his re-
mark regarding German trade were
equalled by others which he inspired
when he suggested that America pay
her debt to Lafayette By writing off
all the nations loans to France, with
out the payment of a dollar.
He also urged the formation of a

Say Traffic Rush
Is No Place for
Girl Conductors

No girl under twcnty-one years of
age should be employed as messen-
ger and women should not be employed
at all in the subway and streetcars dur
ing rush hours, according to the dec-
sions Of the Women's Trade Union
League delegates, az Il conference held
Yesterday at the Russell Sage Founda
ton Building. The women expect to
have bills cmbodying these safeguards
to women's labor introduced into the
Legislature at once.
1--WE women have tho vote now, and
we expect to get much better attention
from our friends in the Legislature, -
said Miss Uilda Swenson, president of
the league. 1--WE introduced an eight
hour bill for women in other years
and will introduce it again this year.
John p. Coughln, president Of the
Queens County, said that work on
strcetcars tended to "brutalize" wom-
en-, and this was confirmed by a dele
gate speaking from the floor.
"a woman conductor got a black eye
in scrimmage with passenger" said
the speaker "They hailed him into
court, ard he pleaded that he didn't
know she was a woman. All he saw
was cap and brass buttons, and he
punched them, he said"
Mr.. Coughlin deprecated the employ.
ment of women on cars.
"Isn't it pretty early in the war to
permit our women to endure things
like ths?" he demanded "The rush
hour fight in the streetcars is bad
enough for men, but for women to go
forcing their way through crowds of
rough irritable men is prcposterous.
"If women are actually needed in the
street railways, we should put them on
the mail cars and release the men fol
duty in the crowded streetcars. There
is, however, no such shortage of male
labor at present.
j. l.. Gernon. first deputy commits
soner of the New York State Indus
trial Commission, also declared that
there was no necessity Of putting wom-
en- in mems places in many dangerous
and strenuous occupations.
1.-TWO thousand women have replaced
men in New York State.' he said, "and
they do not get mems wages, in most
cases. One shrapnel company up state

Fifth District Worker Ar
rested After Making State
ment to Prosecutor
Accused Of Paying So
Voter Says He Signed Paper
After Receiving the
Money

Charles II. Moss. of 2S Greenwich
Avenue. who says he was a Republican
worker in the 9th Assembly District at
the last Mayoralty election, was held
in $1,000 bail yesterday by Magistrate
Fuchs, in the Tombs court, charged
with bribery. According to Assistant
Dstsic; Attorney Black, in charge Of
the investigation into the Mitchell
Fusion campaign fund, Moss gave 81
to William j. Bell, of 1876 Sixth Ave
nue., for voting for John Purroy
Mitchell. Bell complained against Moss
last Friday.
Moss was making a statement to MIR.
Black yesterday and admitted that Bell
told the truth, whereupon Mr.. Black
broke the news to Moss that he would
be obliged TO oraer his arrest.
"l didn't mean that; | didn't know
what l was saying. Don't do that; don't
Go it. Have heart, Mr.. Black, have q
heart" he pleaded.
On the way to the Tombs Moss
fiouted the charge in his conversation
with Detective Cunnitf.
Calls 1t "Fuss Over Two Bones"
"My Cod" he exclaimed. "What on
earth is all this fuss over a measly
two bones. Why. that fellow Bell was
nothing but 81 boy. If they're going
to make an issue out of little thing
like that they'll have to lock all the
fellows up where worked. They were
all doing it,
Bell is "blunder clerk" in the de-
livery department at Wanamaker's. He
was held in 500 bail by Magistrate
Fuchs and sent TO the House of Deten-
ton as a material witness. He told
Mr. Black that he had known Moss
around the district for several years
He said Moss didn't exactly tell him
that he should vote for Mitchell.
II knew | was on his side if I cast
my vote for Mitchell. When | came out
of the polls Moss met me and handed
me two 81 bills. Then he took me into
Il hallway and got me to sign a piece
of white paper. No one was present
when the money was passed. he said
Moss told Mr.. Black that he primarily
got into favor at Fusion headquarters
through a note of introduction written
by Deputy Fire Commissioner Fay. He
said he acted as a guide at the head of
the elevators and got $25 week in
that capacity for fortnight preceding
Election Day.
Wasn't Told What To Do
He said no one told him what to do
on Election Day.
81 had been working up there for &
district" he said.
"Were you a Fusion worker four
years ago." Mr. Black asked.
"No-er, no; wasn't much interested
in Fusion then-only in the last year
or two" he replied.

Lumber Industry Aids
In National Defence
More Than Two Billion Feet
of Wood Used for War Pur-
poses in Past Year

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-"For the first
time in its history the lumber industry
has been mobilizcd,' says r. S. Kel-
logg, secretary of the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association, in his an
nual review of conditions in the lumber
business.
"All together perhaps as much as g.
600, 100000 feet of lumber has gone into
use for purposes of national defence
during the last eight months This is
a great deal of lumber, and yet de-
mand of this size does not interfere
with the supply for all the usual COM
mercial purposes, because the lumber
production Of the United States in 1917
has been in the neghborhood of 49,
00,0UO.OO feet, OF twenty times as
much a. taken by the war.
Due to car shortage and unsettled
labor supply, the cut has been 4 or 5
per cent less than in 1915, and there
will be no large accumulation of stocks
at the beginning of the new year What
1913 will bring forth is of course, be-
yond the ability Of even the best in
formed to predict We do know, how
ever, that war to-day is essentially a
manufacturing proposition, and that
production cannot so forward without
using large quantities Of basic ma
terial, such as lumber.
"Thc Treasury Department esti-
mates for 1918 show that some So, $780,
100000 Will be needed for government
construction. most Of it for fortitca-
tons. Statisticians figure that during
peace times the average total value OF
all construction il the country-build-
ings, bridges, tunnels, docks and roads
= does not exceed $2,500,000, 900. Hence,
the total amount of construction in
1918 is bound to be greater than ever
before, although in different channels
and of different character There
must also be a large development in
Industrial housing in order to take care
Of congested population in many cen
tres where war industries are prom
inent."

[StoG Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.~Thc Coun-
Gil Of National Defence began the
movement which has just resulted in
reorganization of the Federal Labor
Department.
For several months officials OF the
council have been much concerned
about the growing difficulties encoun-
tered with the labor phases of the war
programme. The council. however, has
been much circumscribed by the IN
willingness Of the President to move
until the problem had received the
usual leisurely consideration.
British Mission Pessimistic
The British mission. it is stated. cx-
pressed a most pcssimistic view of the
labor situation, and suggested, ns
broadly as was possible within their
diplomatic limitations, the necessity OF
early action.
The labor situation has been. the
subject OF investigation by the council
for several months. A confidential re-
port laid before Secretary Of War
Baker more than month ago said:
There is plenty of evidence that the
l. W. W., the pacifSt and the German
sympathizer are q potential menace in
The heads of local unions are constant
ly complaining that they find their eff
forts to keep their organizations loyal
are undermined By alien sympathizers
whose powerful weapon is their open
taunt that the loyal leaders are unable
to secure any redress Of their gricv-
ances either from their employers or
from Washington. and that support Of
the war was consequently worse than
g. waste OF effort from the standpoint
of the union cause.
"This situation is further compli-
Gated BY the fact that as American
workmen are recruited into the mill
tary services their places arc filled ir
many cities BY Germans, Austrians and
Hungarians. 1t is probable that the
disloyal are finding their best felc
among the unorganized men. If prop
erly dealt with the unions can be used
effectively to combat this influence. AT
present the manufacturing are appar-
emily entirely Obvious to this situa-
ton.
"Thcrc is every reason to believe
that tho next year will bring a very
real act;.al shortage Of skilled labor
Although there is no great shortage OF
men now, there is great deal OF trou-
bic brewing through lack Of an ef.
fectivc system Of labor distribution. IN
this respect conditions in the general
industrial field seem little short of
chaotic.

labor programme will necessitate adj
