The two men in khaki who were

night to "see If any Bolsheviki stuff
was bein' pulled" left early with moth

The two hundred thinly clad bread
liners who had ventured from all
haunts of the Bowery through the
heavy downpour, spent the evening
quietly discussing the current economic
situation.
Chairman Cummings produced a set
of resolutions which had been COM

The clause covering the solution to
the rent problem provides for rent free
for a period of ten years and reads as
follows:
''ln order to get at the root of the
problem Of rent profiteering it should
be recognized that every man who has
family has already paid enough rent,
in some form or other, to entitle him
TO the ownership OF an adequate dwell

tion to the rent problem, therefore,
would be the issuance by the govern

ALBANY. May 1.-For the first time
since newspapers were established in
this city the four Albany dailies are
not appearing, because of walkout
of the printers. "The Evening Jour
nal," owned by William Barnes, and
"The Times Union," owned by former
Governor Martin H. Glynn, failed to
appear this afternoon, and the two
morning papers, "The Knickerbocker
Press" and "The Argus" will not come
out tomorrow morning. According to
talk here tonight there is a possibility
of this condition continuing until Mon
day.
The printers and publishers had been
negotiating for weeks over wage
increase demand, and, failing to agree,
the former quit work last midnight
The printers originally asked fiat
a seven-hour day. They later offered
to accept six dollar increase and
continue the eight-hour day. The pub
fishers offered q two-dollar increase
and to submit the differences to arbi-
tration. The printers on the after
noon papers are now getting $26 a
week, and on the morning papers $29
The publishers, claiming that the
printers have broken an arbitration
provision in their contract, appealed to

them to return to work. They refused.

$500, 900 Aiinaony
Paid Mrs. Kendall

Real and personal property valued at
$3,500,O0o cash S1:00O,0OO and $4,000
year alimony is said to have been the
settlement made by Lyman B. Kendall,
New York banker, with Mrs. Ellen B.
Kendall, who obtained divorce from
him in Bar Harbor, Me.
William NJ. Sullivan, attorney for
Mrs. Kendall, made public the settle
ment yesterday. Mrs. Kendall, daueh-
ter of former Governor Valentine of
Idaho, separated from her husband a
year ago. She is 40 years of age, ten
years the junior of Mr.. Kendall. She
obtained a decree on the ground of in
compatibility of temperament. The
couple had been married twenty years.
The chief trouble, said the attorney,
was that Mr. Kendall preferred to
spend his time at his estate in Vir-
ginia and did not care for social activ-
tiles. His wife liked social life. Mrs.
Kendall gave her home in Bar Harbor
for the use of convalescent soldiers and
also acted as a nurse
Mrs. Sullivan said Mr.. Kendall gave
his wife the property at 500 Park Ave
nue., with its furnishings, valued at
$1,5oO,0O0; their Bar Harbor estate,
known as Sonogee, and its furnishings,
valued at $2,000000 and S1,0OO 900.
Besides this the banker agreed to pay
Mrs. Kendall alimony of 100000 a
year. The largest amount of alimony
being paid by court order in this state
IS $4,000, which Howard Gould is
paying his wife, Mrs. Katherine Glenn
mons Gould.

Freight Strikers
And Pier Officials
Claims Conflicting Q
Handlers Declare 1000
Men Are Out, While
Railroad Men Say Work
Continues as Usual

Conflicting claims of railroad ad-
ministration officials and leaders of
the union marked the second day of
the freight handlers strike Accord
ing to the railroad administration
spokesmen, they have sufficient men
at work to handle all business. and
but few thousand men are out.
According to f. Paul A. Vaccarelli,
leader of the men, $4,000 are out,
including many of the men hired to
take the strikers places, and freight
is being diverted from New York.
$50 far as affecting business is con-
cerned," it was said at the office of
A. H. Smith, "there is nothing to
indicate strike is on. There is no
delay in handling food, and there is
not the slightest danger that the trou-
be will interfere with the city's
supplies"
"There are not less than $1,000 men
out" said Mr.. Vaccarelli. 'This in
cludes many of the strike breakers. If
it were not that the amount of freight
coming to New York is greatly re-
duced, the piers and terminals would
be jammed. Embargoes are keeping
freight out"
1t was admitted at the railroad
Offices that some embargoes are in
effect against New York, mainly on
bulky goods.
Independent of both sides, it ap-
peared yesterday that there was less
traffic than usual, though some of the
piers, notably those of the New York
Central, seemed to be fully manned.
Ihe Lackawanna was not so fortunate,
while the Pennsylvania appeared to
have about half the usual number. at
work.
The strike of the freight handlers.
1T was announced yesterday, had been
shoren1en in 1873 Columbia Street,
Brooklyn, Wednesday night at which
it is asserted $4,000 workers we're
represented. 1t is said the meeting
also indorsed Mr.. Vaccarell's contest
with t. V. O'Conner, international
president OF the Longshoremen's Asso-
citation.
This contest made an appearance in
the Supreme Court yesterday when
Mr.. Vaccarelli filed bill in equity ask
ing for an injunction restraining T. V.
O'Conner and others from interfering
with him in the duties of international
vice president.
Mayor Hylan yesterday took up the
complaint of the Marine Workers
Aftiliation that the private boat own
ers, by refusing to meet with a com
mittee of union men were violatinp

Famine in India Alarms

LONDON, April % (Corres spondence
Of The Associated Press ).-Offical CON
frmation has been received here Of
local famine conditions in India, a
fact to which scarcely any publicity
has been given owing to the world s
preoccupation with the peace confer
ence and industrial troubles. Little
definite information concerning the
famine is available, but it is said to
be confined to Il few districts and par
ticldarly to Punjab.
Private adviccs, however, are more
alarming. They suggest, according to
one newspaper, "that India may be on
the verge of II worse food famine than
the visitation Of 1902
