KANSAS CITY STRIKERS
 60 BACK TO WORK
Railroad Men Who Quit Saturday Report For
 Duty Today.

Kansas City, Mo, Dec. 1.-.As sud- denly and unexpected as it began Sat urday, tho strike of 1,500 railroad sWitchmen in the local yards was called off early today.
 The action was taken at secret meeting which began yesterday and lasted far into the night, when it was understood a proposition sponsored by more conservative, m DerS of the unions, to end the walkOut, was put to vote and carried. Early this morning a delegation of strikers ap- pearcd at the office of w. M. Cor bett, general manager of the Kansas City terminal railway, and announced tho men were ready to return to work.
 Reasons for the decision were not Forthcoming, it was understood that an announcement at the meeting by G. w. Anderson of Cleveland a vice. president ofThe brotherhood of rail way trainmen that the strike was un- authorized and that strike benefits would be withheld had much to do with the final action.
 Dissatisfaction with the present wage scale and with the outcome of , the recent conference of national union officials in Cleveland was re- sponsible for the strike it is said. The two day walkout paralyZed freight shipping in the local yards.

FIVE BILLION DOLLARS
 ASKED TO RUN U. s.
Annual Estimate Puts Other Years to Shame-No
 Hope For Future.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The record peace times faded into the past today when Secretary Glass, presenting the annual estimates, proposed appropria- tons of practically $5,OOOOOO,O 900 for conducting the peace time activities of the government during the fiscal year 1921
 According to these rigures it will cost more than five times as much to conduct the peace time affairs of gov ernment as it did in the year imm edi- ately preceding the world war
 The greatest individual estimates for expenditures, on the other hand. go to the army and navy. The yearly inter- est on the war debt, however, is $1,-
 Olt 100000, which sum alone is
 greater than all the appropriations for
 all purposes whatsoever of any peace
 time congress-
 All in all the estimates justify the
 predictions made on the floor of con- gress during consideration of the war tax bills, that the present generation
 would not see the government con- ducted at an expense of less than $4 OO,OOOO00 year.
 The estimated appropriat tions for the principal government depart ments were presented as follows: Legislative (congress) 9,O25, ,297.25; 1 executive (White House and govern l ment department) s149 9111,463.77; ] judicial $1,634,190; army, 989,57S,- 657.20; navy, S542,O31,SO4.SO; pen ! sions, S215,0 5,030,0O0; public works 1 s2S3,921, 810.17; miscellaneous, S833,- 717,637.96; foreign intercourse, $11,- l 243,25O.91
 l The total of all estimates, including 1 some comparatively minor items not l included in the foregoing is $4,S65,- l 41O, O,031.62, the greatest sum eve1 ] asked of any congress, when the 1 country was not actually at war. | The estimates for rivers and har- l bors appropriations included the fol | lowing of interest in Connecticut 1 Thames river, $22.O00; Connecticu l river, below Hartford, $90,O00; New l Haven, $44, 1000; Milford harbor, $7, 1 900; Greenwich, $14,000.

Chamber of Commerce Directors
 Choose Head of Bureau for 19t9- 192O-Wiu Succeed F.. W. PeIton.

A. B. Buol, superintendent of the New Britain Machine company, has been named president of the Chamber of Commerce to succeed Ernest w. Pelton whose term of office ran out recently with the close of the fiscal year. Announcement of his election to the office was made this afternoon by Secretary Leon A. Sprague after ballots had been counted in his office. The choice of the president was made by means of printed ballot this year, as it was the opinion of the directors that this method would be the better one rather than an oral vote at a directors meeting.
 The new president has been active in the affairs of the Chamber of Com merce since that bureau was estab- lished in New Britain and is also prominent in civic movements. The choice, directors believe, is an excel lent

 In Kansas City, Mo-, and Omaha and Lincoln Neb., all schools were closed today and officials of many other cities discussed the advisability of closing the schools until the fuel shortage is relieved.
 Reports today from the large bi- luminous fields of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania gave no assur- ance that the union miners intended to accept the offer of an increase of IA per cent. in wages made by the federal fuel administrator. Neither was there any indication that local settlements would be effected between miners and operators.
 Increase in One District.
 In West Virginia union officials as serted that most organized mines in district No. IT, which includes the KanaWha fields, would be idle today. The operators, however, claim ed that the output in the New River district would be increased during the week.
 Governors of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and Tennessee and d repre- sentative of the governor of Kansas who met here yesterday in response to call issued by Governor Gardner of Missouri to discuss means for ending the threatened coal famine, recom- mended that all coal mined and in stock be distributed equitably among needs developed during the war, re~ ga~dless of the state where mined,

TEXTILE WORKERS
 QUIT IN FALL RIVER
38,0OO People Out of Jobs New Bedford Opera
 tors Remain.

Fall River, Dec. 1.-Virtually all the textile mills in this city, employing "".ooo operatives, were tied up today oy d strike for d p per cent increase Tn wages The demands were made oH sA unions of the national amalga- hlat1on Of textile operatives, number ing approximately 1000 and their leadership, as has been tho case in previous strikes, was largely followed by the unorganized workers. Many of the latter went to work as usual at the opening hour today, but left the mills when it appeared that the strike was effective.
 The United Textile Workers of America, an organization which has about 5000 mem bers here, announced that it would take no formal part in the strike, but early reports indicated that many of these operatives also had remained away from the mills.
 No disorder was reported. The pc
 lice stationed at the mill gates found the strikers good natured and for the most part confident that they would soon be back at work. This hope was
 based on an announcement that the
 manufacturers would meet representa-
 tives of the textile council during the
 morning. There appeared to be a feel ing that, through mutual cOnceSsi onS this conference would lead to the end of the strike.
 Stay at New Bedford. New Bedford, Mass, Dec. 1.--Union textile operatives here, who threat ened last week to strike today to en- force wage demands, remained at work pending further negotiations with the cotton manufacturers: Nine of the II unions affiliated with the National Ama1gamation of Textile 1 Operatives voted last night in favor of the strike, but the textile council 1 ruled that ten unions were required to make up the necessary tWo-thirds vote and declared the proposal to defer the strike adopted.
 Mayor Charles $. Ashley brought the union and the manufa cturers' representatives into conference yes terday and the manufacturers offered to continue negotiations today if the operatives would postpone strike ac- tion. While no compromise offer was made by either side it was understood
 that both believed an adjustment of
 differences possible.
 While the union operatives, who
 seek 25 per cent increase in wages, comprise but One-third of the num- Der of workers in the mills, it was believed that the unorganized work CTS would have struck with the others.
