Triviality of the Charges

Magistrate Cobb, who sits with
Magi House in the Traffic Court,
made strong protest yesterday
against the order issued to patrolmen
to get at least five violators of traffic
regulations apiece every day. Such a
crusade was not calculated to improve
conditions, he said, and was an un-

deplored its effect on the court
In their cagerness to obey the let

President From Sick Bed Die

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Oct. 21-President
Wilson, despite his illness. took a per-
sonal ha nd in the national Industrial
conference in an effort to avert a
break which Is threatened as a result
Of the inability of the capital and
labor groups to reach a satisfactory
agreement on the collective bargaining
issue.
In a 600 word letter to Secretary
Lane, chairman of the conference, die
tated from his sick bed, the president
outlined his views as to the confer
ence situation. The letter was i'm
media tely dispatched to Mr.. Lane,
who, it was explained, was to use it
at his discretion.
The conference was not in session
when Mr.. Lane received the COM
municaion, having met at 1918 a.
m and adjourned at the request of
the labor group, after two resolutions
had been presented. 1t was said the
letter might not be presented to the
conference Immediately, but held in
reserve to be used only when danger
Of the conference breaking up became
acute.
The serious situation in the confer
ence was reported TO the president
early today, after a conference be-
| tween Chairman Lane, Secretary Viii
| son Of the labor department, Bernard
NJ. Baruch, chairman of the public
! group; Thomas L. Chadbourne, cha ir-
man Of the committee Of fifteen, and

that the two resolutions would be put

NEW YORK, Oct 21.-Decision
whether the city government has the
right to suppress opera sung in German
in New York, until after ratification
by the United States of the peace
treaty, rested today with Corporation
Counsel Burr, after riotous scenes last
night when former service men tried
unsuccessfully to prevent the presen
tation of Die Meistersinger" at the
Lexington theatre. Mayor Hylar
sought an opinion from Mr.. Burr
after reversing an earlier decision
banning the opera.
Coincident with the mayors move
the management of the opera an
nounced that steps would be taken
through the courts if necessary, tc
assure the continued presentation OF
German opera
The management stated that last
nights program was in the nature
of a concert and that the real open
ing of the German opera season was
to be tonight.
Mounted police, and patrolmen with
drawn night sticks, battled last night
with more than 800 men wearing army
and navy uniforms, when they at
tempted to gain access to the theatre
and stop the performance.
Fights Fierce,
A later rally by the soldiers and
sailors, reinforced by hundreds Of civ
ilians, also was checked by the po
lice. Several heads were hit and
numerous fights occurred but no one
was reported seriously injured.
large crowd was outside the theatre
when the opera closed, but the police
protected the audience as it left the
building.
Mayor Hylan's original decision te
stop the opera was reached after {
hearing at which members Of the
American legion protested agains
German being sung publicly in New
York, contending that it was intended
, as propaganda.
He reversed his position just before
the opera. The mayor stated tha
the reversal was due to uncertaint,
as TO the legality of his course.

UNI0NISM ATTACKED
BY FREYLINGHUYSEN
(RY Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Unionisn
under its present leadership was at
tackled in the senate today by Senator
Frelinghuysen, Republican, OF New
Jersey, as a new atrocity", tending
toward Bolshevism.
Criticizing the demand Of the btu
minous coal miners for a 5 day week
and increased wages Senator Freyling-
huysen, who is chairman of the senate
committee investigating the coal
strike, called upon American public
opinion to scotch a movement which
he feared would result in class govern
ment.
The New Jersey senator said the de-
mand of the miners, half of them
aliens, were ''inordinate," and coull
not be granted, as they would result
in decreased production and an In

dictated to by these men," he asked.

"The time has come to put an end
TO this new autocracy," said the SEN
ator. Unless this intolerable condi.
tion can be rectified; unless some
means can be found TO prevent imposi
tion Of such unthinkable demands and
penalties; unless collective bargain
ing can be continued in an orderly
manner and with due regard TO the
public welfare and comfort, a new
remedy must be applied-the remedy
of making labor amenable to the same
extent as capital to the laws Of the
| United States"
| Referring to the steel strike, the
| New York Longshoremen's strike the
| Boston police strike, the New York
pressmen's strike and other labor dis
turbances, the senator said:

stop? Unless halt is called We shall
reach a state of anarchy infinitely
/ worse than the autocracy of Germany
! This is class government and not
