Troops Forced Out
OF Chicago Yards
BY Strike of $4,000
1000 Police and Deputies
Remain in Trouble Over
Non-Union Negro Labor;
Trading Ceases for Day

CHICAGO, Aug. s.AF GLOWING q gen
eral strike this morning of $4,000 en-
ployes at the packing plants in the
stockyards, in protest against the
presence of state troops and police
guards at the plants and the return of
5000 negroes to work, decision to
recall the troops from the stockyards
and riot districts here was announced
at the yards late to-day.
State troops were withdrawn from
the plants and modified in Dexter
Pavilion. near the entrance to the
stockyards, to be held for emergency
duty. More than 1000 policemen and
deputy sheriffs remained on duty in the
various plants.
The dispute, according to labor lead
crs, has been over the employment Of
non-union negroes rather than race
hatred. Many of the negroes, it is said,
have refused to join the unions. When
the white employees reported for work
early in the day they demanded that
the state troops and police guards,
which had been stationed at every
plant when the negroes returned yes
terday, be Immediately withdrawn.
Both the city authorities and the pack
ers declined to accede to the demand
The men walked out quietly. 1t is said
that several thousand of the negro non
union workmen remained at their
posts.
Earlier in the day representatives of
the packers had said that the police on
duty in the yards were assigned by the
city authorities to prevent race riots
and that they were powerless TO order
the guards away.
There was practically no trading in
livestock here to-day

Didn't Censor Rodman's
Speech, Says Daniels
Secretary Declares Objection to
One Paragraph Wasn't
Meant Officially

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Aug. s.-Secretary
of the Navy Daniels authorized state
ment to-day in which he told briefly
OF the circumstances that led to Ad-
miral Rodman's announcement last
night at banquet that a speech he
had prepared in advance would have to
remain in his pocket, as Secretary Dan
iels had censored it and told him not
to use it. Secretary Daniels said:
Admiral Rodman showed me copy
OF speech that he had written, and
commented upon it and advised that
a certain paragraph be omitted. l did
not know that l was acting in any off
clal capacity as censor at this time,
nor did l know then that the speech
had been sent broadcast in advance.
Had | known that copies were in the
hands of the newspapers l would have
made no objection to the use of the
speech.
''The speech was shown me and
commented upon it in an informal
manner"
A paragraph in the admiral's speech
which the Secretary thought should be
eliminated referred to possible future
wars. Admiral Rodman laughingly said
to-day that the whole affair amounted
to nothing and at didn't bother me a

Brandenburg Again
Under Arrest on
Charge of Fraud
Writer and Promoter Is Ac-
cused of Selling Stock
in Staten Island Asbestos
Mine to u. S. Sailor

Broughton Brandenburg, whose real
name is said to be Ernest V. B. Won
Brandenburg, magazine writer and pro-
moter, was arrested yesterday follow
ing raid on the offices of the Eastern
Bond and Sureties Company, at 1878
Broadway, by Detectives Kalbfeisch
and Fleming. The bond company, said to
be the trade name under which the pro-
moter operated, was exploiting the
stock of the New York New Methods
Moulding and Metals Corporation,
which undertook to mine rubies, ame-
thysts, sapphires and valuable amph
bole asbestos in Staten Island.
The raid on the Broadway establish
ment came following the receipt of
complaints by Assistant District At
torney Kilroe of Brandenburg's al
legged activities in connection with
this company.
The promoter is charged with grand
larceny. The complaints are made by
Edward S. Suggs, sailor in the
United States transport service, who
charges that he bought $3.50 worth of
stock in Brandenburgs company,
Brandenburg and his general manager,
Alfred Stenton, for wnom the police are
looking, are charged with taking 5000
from another sailor, whose name AS
sistant District Attorney Kilroe with
held.
Brandenburg admits that his COM
pany has collected about $4,000 from
inventors here, and that similar COM
panies which he operates in Phiade-
phla and Buffalo have also collected
considerable sums
Brandenburg's companies are engaged
IN making moulds, freproof paint,
bricks and insulating material by a
secret process from amphibole asbestos.
Signs seized in the raid on Branden-
burg's offices announced that this as
bestos was mined in New York CITY.
and prominently displayed in the es-
tablishment were photographs showing
investors grouped around an entrance
to an asbestos "mine shaft" in Pavilion
Hills, near the ST. George ferries
Staten Island.
William A. Maxwell, wealthy real
estate operator, who owns the Pavilion
Hui properties, said Brandenburg of
tered him SO ton for the amphibole
asbestos he believed could be taken
from the land,
He also said that rubies, sapphires
and amethysts were often found where
amphibole asbestos formed, and offered
to give me half the other rare miner
ais and stones the land yielded" said
MaXwell Il told Brandenburg that if
ne brought me his own pedigree and
those of his stockholders for ten years

New Solution for
Servant Problem Is
TO Have No Servant
Home Assistants Suggest
ed by Mayors Committee
on demonstrations; Pay
To Be SIP to $l8 a Week

The employment bureau Of the Mayors
Committee on Reconstruction and Re-
lief has q scheme for raising the status
OF the worker in the home. 1t proposes
to get rid of the old stigma domestic
service" and term it "home assistance
Women desiring specific training for
the work will be directed to where they
can take courses which will qualify them
for such positions. 1t is hoped that col
lege girls and teachers from out of
town will avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to have good homes in the city
mlnistrative assistance
Discussing the project yesterday Miss
Allce Carpenter, of the employment bu-
reau of the Mayors Committee, said:
cat the present time the home ia
faced with the problem of reorganiza-
ton tending toward a simplication of
life and toward placing the labor of
the home upon a more democratic basis.
The movement toward reorganization
is in two directions. The first is the
initiation of household assistants, wom-
en- who go into the home either by
the hour or on an eight-hour- day basis,
with Sundays free and pay for over
time. These women do not become a
part of the home life, but live in their
are paid from $12 to $18 a week, just
like. the. business girl. This system
works admirably in the homes Of large
families, where accommodation and
food have to be taken into considera-
ton.
"The other solution of the problem
lies in the direction of home assist
ants women of intelligence and refine
ment who enter the home as members
Of the family and become co-workers
with their employers in meeting do
nestle responsibilities. This is par
ticularly good arrangement where
there are young children in the fam
lily. 1t has proved effective in England,
where women formerly employed as
governesses assumed the responsible
tles OF direction as it became harder
70 get nurses and maids.
This field offers a new opportunity
ior the increasing number Of women
who are obliged to earn their own liv-
ing. In almost every family there is
one$ girl who finds her greatest Joy
III tne endless opportunities for per-
sonal service that the home affords.
To-day this type of woman, together
with those who have lost their rela-
tives in the war, is facing the neces-
sity of self-support. The problem,
therefore, is merely one of placing
home service on sufficiently digni-
lied basis to attract this type of woman.
The idea is by no means new one.
1t is being tried out in plenty of we'll
too do homes now. The cooperative plan
was successfully tried this summer
with teachers and nurses glad to
change their occupations temporarily
and have summer outing. There are
students coming to this city each year
vino would appreciate the privilege of
lying in home, and would be glad
20 render little service in return Tor
re protection afforded them"
