The fight of the Amalgamated Assoc

Third Avenue Railway system received

Court unfolding the contracts between

stipulate that the latter shall not af-
filiate with the car mems union and re-
straining the officials Of the union from

Upon this application 1t Is unneces-
sary to decide whether the plaintiff or
the Amalgamated Association was at

is conceded that the employees of the

UNION LEADERS SEEK
TO FIND A WAY OUT
Many Strikers in Provinces
Returning to Work.
Special Gable Despatch TO The Sun.
Copyright, 1919, all rt0hts reserved.


LONDON. Oct 2.--Another day OF al
most continual negotiations has failed to
bring a settlement of the railway strike,
but every hour increases the general
conviction that trade unionism has lost
its chance for victory and Is bound to
go down in defeat In the effort to force
the will of minority upon the Gov
eminent. Strikers are returning to work
In several provincial centres because
they are convinced that their cause is
not just and they are anxious to obtain
the advantages offered to those who re-
sumo work voluntarily.
The outstanding feature Of the sixth
day of the strike is the effort being
made by the trade union leaders to find
a way out. They know now that It is
case Of obtaining the best terms pos
slble, as their ranks are breaking and
the whole organization Is on the verge
of a complete rout, They have had
full opportunity to present their case
to the public, every newspaper gener-
ously offering space and giving promi-
hence to detailed statements by Thomas,
Tramp and others who control the
union.
Scores Of trade union sympathlzers
gave the police trying time during the
morning, especially when Sir Eric
Geddes made his appearance shortly
after noon. Rowdies Missed and booed
the Transport Minister when he walked
boldly into the midst of the crowd.

FRAUD IN POLICE
QUIzT CHARGED
Papers of 800 Candidates for
Captain May Be Thrown
Out.
SIGNATURES ARE FORGED
Substitute Blanks Are Said to
Have Been Sold for
$500 a Set.

The papers of 400 candidates who
took the recent civil service examination
for Police Captain may be thrown out
and the chances Of these men for promo
ton ruined, as result of a complaint
which was made yesterday to the Dis
trict Attorneys office by Morris Cukor
president of the Municipal Civil Service
Commission. Mr.. Cukor alleged that
fraud was perpetrated In a number OF
cases and disclosed to Alfred ]. Taliey
Assistant District Attorney, the method
by which at least one man, at present
Lieutenant of Police. tried, it Is said, to
heat the examination.
This Lieutenant had his papers re-
turned to him after a low rating con-
Cured In by two of the civil service
examiners, and appealed to the COM
mission, with the result that the ex-
aminers again took UP his papers to
review their work. In doing this they
found that the answers on the papers
returned to them were perfect and
that with them as a basis the lieu
tenant apparently deserved very high
rating instead of the poor one he had
previously received. Close scrutiny OF
the papers, It was said at the District
Attorneys ONCE, revealed that The
initials placed on all the sheets by the
examiners had been forged on the re-
turned sheets, and that the perforated
letters m. c. 8. c." the initials Of the
commission. although present on the
substitute sheets, did not punch through
the margin Of the written answers on
any Of them From this fact it is be-
lieved that blank sheets such as were
used In the original examination had
been supplied to the candidate.
= Mr.. Talley has assigned Ferdinand
Pecora to make an investigation Of the
case. He has questioned several wit
nesses, including the Lieutenant whose
papers were under suspicion, and said
last night that there is no doubt that
fraud was practised. Mr.. Talley said
that an examination would be made of
the papers Of all of the candidates to de-
termine whether the scheme was used by
others. He also said that he had learned
that prior to the examination several of
the candidates in one borough were in
terviewed by men who agreed to have
the papers withdrawn after the examina-
ton, and others substituted, on payment
Of $500.
FRAUD of this sort 10 particularly vi
cious," said Mr.. Talley, because 1t de-
stroys the chances of the decent and
honorable members of the police force
who have worked hard to qualify them
selves to take the examination for pro-
motion. I know from my own experience
as Civil Service Commissioner that the
Civil Service Commission Is always dis
turbed by the possibilities of fraud in
this particular examination. and exam,-
nations in, the past have been thrown
out because of suspected fraud"

on their belief that ultimately the Gov
eminent must take a hand In the wage

avoided. The miners were outspoken in
their opposition to Federal intervention.

ators and miners are conscious of their
