Union Rail Official Backs
British Government Plan
Joint Board of Management, He
Says, Would Improve Condi-
tiOns and Prevent Strikes

LONDON, Nov. 16 (By The Asso-
clated Press ).-James Henry Thomas,
general secretary of the National
Union of Railwaymen, in speech at
Bristol to-day outlined the plan of the
government to give the men repre-
sentatlon on joint board Of manage
ment, and expressed the hope the ar
rangement would be accepted.
Inc government purposes, Nr.
Thomas said, that the railways be man
aged by joint committee Of execu-
tives, on which the workers would have
three representatives., with powers
equal to those Of the general manaeers.
The plan also would create q Joint
board, composed of five general man
ayers of railways and five de eeates of
the locomotive men and the National
Union OF Rallwaymen, to negotiate all
matters concerning conditions of sery-
ice.
Any dispute arising would be re-
ferred to another body of twelve. com
prlsing four representatives OF the
railways. four appointed by the men
and four delegated to look after the
interests of the general public OF the
representatives of the public, one would
be trade unionist not connected With
the railways and one other wou d rep
resent the cooperative movement.
Neither body, Secretary Thomas said
could withhold from the men the rirht
to strike, but it WAS obvious they would:
not strike while matter was under
discussion. He would be mad, he add
ed, to suggest that there would be no
more strikes, but was convinced the
machinery proposed would insure
smooth working and improve the mems
conditions.

WooIel,s

Spirited bidding and higher prices
for raw wool at the government auc-
tions in Boston last week gave cloth
producers greater confidence and
prices of fabrics in some cases were
advanced. The first result of the high
er prices for raw wool, according to
trade leaders, will be advances in the
yarn market, which already is on an
extremely high basis.
Women's coat manufacturers were
in the market last week for poo cloths
and camel'~-hair fabrics for the max
ing of spring garments. Considerable
business was done in knitted and
woven brushed wool fabrics, which are
being pushed for winter resort and
spring wear by manufacturers of
sports clothing for women. Serges
and tricotines for women's wear CON
tinued in good demand, with the sup
ply short.
Few of the big cloth producers ARE
in u position to accept more orders
for spring materials, so jobbers and
the smaller mills are getting most of
the business now in the market

Omaha Riot Mayor
Would AmericaniZe
Or Deport Aliens
Dollar.Hunting Extremists
as Well as Social Rebels
Must Be Driven Out of
Country, Says Ed Smith

OMAHA, Neb, Nov. 16.-Mayor Ed
Smith. who faced an enraged mob the
night of the riot here and permitted
himself to be strung up to lamppost
rather than order the police to turn
over a negro prisoner to be lynched,
believes in driving all extremists from
official positions, dollar hunting ex-
tremists as we'll as political revo-u-
tionists."
Before expressing his views to-day
he spoke briefly of his experience with
the rioters.
"When the mob gave me the alter
over to them or of being lynched.' >
he said, 81 did just what any other
truly American official, under similar
circum stances, would have done. |
told them to 60 ahead and hang me" "
The Mayor, who has but recently re-
turned from Florida, where he has
been recuperating from his ordeal, en-
planned that the subject of his eXper-
ience with the mob IS taboo, even in
his own home, and continued:
"Since | am not candidate for re-
election for Office of any kind, | can
speak my mind freely.
"The industrial and social unrest
prevalent throughout the world to-day
caused the riots throughout the nation.
Holds Unrest Big Problem
'The great problem that confronts
US now is the elimination of that un-
rest. 1t can be done only through an
active campaign Of Americani1ation
and driving from ali official positions
all extremists-dollar hunting extrem-
lists, as we'll as social revolutionists.
Labor must not be ostracized. The
greatest mistake we could make would
be dividing the community into two
camps. That situation undoubtedly
would bring on new outbreaks.
But we must keep out of public
office all radicals who would seek 70
overthrow government and substitute
anarchy. No punishment can be too
drastic for agitators Of social revolu-
tion.
Foreign language newspapers and
other publications making their appeal
to the ignorant and un-Americanized
immigrant form one of the most OBJ
jectionable means of spreading revolu-
tionarl propaganda. | would like to
see the day when it would be illegal
for any ofreign language publication to
be carried through the mails anywhere
in the United States. At least we can
act in that direction by passing even
more stringent laws in Nebraska.
Would Limit Aliens
Further, I am convinced that it is
against public policy to permit aliens
to reside in this country indefinitel,
and receive the benefits of our gov
ernment without becoming American
citizens. | believe laws are needed for
deportation of all aliens who fail to
take steps towards naturalization
within year or two after arrival in
this country. Our own citizens can
aid in this movement by making i.
their business to help aliens in OBJ
tanning citizenship.
II believe this is our greatest prob
lem to-day. We should awake to the
fact that the radicals we harbor are j..
real menace to the lives of every mem
Der of this country. 1t is our duty to
make Americans of them"

Prisoners To Be Freed
On Time Deduction Law
Brooklyn Judges Decision That
Act Is Retroactive Will Re.
lease MANY COnyicts

Prison wardens throughout the state
will begin computing at once the time
spent in Jail by convicts now under
their charge. AS soon as this task is
completed hundreds Of prisoners will
be released, under a decision just rem
dered by Justice Cropsey, of the
Brooklyn Supreme Court, holding that
the time dedrction law. amended last
year by the Legislature is retroactive
and applicable to all prisoners.
The object Of the law is to prevent
cused persons, on account of delayed
trials. Prior to the amendment ac-
cused persons often were held in Jail
for months before trial
Justice Cropseys decision was rem
dered in the case of Frank Gabriel,
who had been sentenced to year
in the penitentiary by Judge Lewis
Smith, of Nassau County. His coun-
sci contended that the law was re-
troactiye and he should benefit by it.
PRISON. authorities opposed his plea
vigorously on the ground that a de-
cision uphoding the contention that
the amendment was retroactive would
burden them with an immense amount
Of work in computing the time allow
ance for hundreds of prisoners. Jus
tce Cropsey ruled that this was not q
valid objection.
There is no reason why the statute
should not be given full effect" said
Justice Cropsey in his opinion, "and
why it should not be held to apply to
all convicts. Its language permits
such holding. Humanity dictates il.
1T is benefcent statute and should
not receive strained, restricted or
unnatural construction. The interests
Of justice require that its plain Ian
guage be given its full and fair near
ing"

Leather

Few sales are being expected in the
hide and leather markets because high
prices tend to discourage buying The
trade is of the opinion that prices will
become lower, white the dealers insist
that as long as the strong export de-
mand continues higher prices can be
expected. High grade upper feathers
continue in good demand, which is
rather pronounced because of the light
supply, but the cheaper grades are
moving slowly. Sole feathers are in
better demand with greater activity
reported.
The chief problem in the lather-
making industry at present is to pro-
duce popular-priced articles. Several
large department stores conducted
sales during the week of good quality
shoes, gloves and fancy leather articles
at almost cost prices just to get the
customers interested in these lines.
Much confusion reigns among the
shoe retailers. These retailers have
their stores packed high with long
vamp shoes. and the heavy demand
from the public for the short vamp or
French last causes them
to fear that if this demand continues

.Jewelry

Manufacturers of jewelry report the
smallest stocks on hand at any time
since 1914. The heavy demand for all
kinds Of jewelry, which started with
the ending Of the war continues de.
spite the greatly advanced prices asked
by retailers. Public favor does not
rest on any special line, but on all
articles made of gold, silver, platinum
and even imitation white gold. In
addition to inability to get sufficient
workmen manufacturers report that
shortages Of all materials is the one
big obstacle they must overcome if
prosperity is to stay with the indus
try
Silverware manufacturers and max
ers of silver rings, pins and silver
novelties raised the price of their
products 10 per cent during the week
The price of these articles, they as
Hert, has remained almost stationary
for the past six months. Because Of
the continued rise of the price of sill
yer it has become absolute necessary
to raise their quotations. Silver, they
explain, has been so scarce for some
time that few manufacturers have been
able to accumulate any stocks, and
therefore were forced to enter the
market and pay a record price for
this metal. Silver reached S1.031a on
Monday, and S1.30% IN Thursday. or
28ss cents on the ounce higher than
on the corresponding day Of 1918.
Because of their inability to get
sufficient supplies Of silver the manu-
facturers are buying more gold. Sales
for October of this precious metal
reached the record figure OF $6,500.O00
Since the first of the current year jew
elers have purchased $49,O00.OOO in
gold bars from the Assay office and
if the present demand continues all
indications are that sales for the year
will reach the record breaking point
of s60,oO0,0O0
Importers of diamonds are much in
the same position in getting fresh sup
plies of the precious gems as the manu-
facturers in getting materials. Prices
are being changed SO frequently by
the British syndicate that these i'm
porters assert that it is impossible to
keep up with the advanced quotations.
The latest advance Of per cent on
small stones was received last week
Small stones which formerly could be
purchased for from $50 to $40 a carat
are now bringing $500 to $3.50, while
the better grade stones which dealers
used to sell for $500 carat are bring
ing more than double that price, with
little stock available.

Apparel

Last week saw more cutting OF prices
of women's and mems winter apparel
by retailers. There appears to be no
doubt that retailers we're overstocked
in proportion to the trade they have
had so far. Whether this will be re-
fected in more conservative spring
buying or not, is still question. The
Wholesale season in mems clothes for
spring has started we'll. and early
showers Of women's spring apparel
report good business. Manufacture
ers in both lines continue to use the
scarcity argument to induce buyers to
place early orders. Women's sport
clothes for winter resort and early
spring wear are selling particularly
we'll. Brushed wool effects in skirts
and sweater or scarf sets are among
the best sellers now.
Wholesale business in women's silk
waists is stagnant and manufacturers
have accumulated fairly large guam
titles of stock. The leaders in the in
dustry are advising against the sacri-
flee Of these as "jobs," arguing that the
advance in silk goods will make the
finished merchandise worth more in q
few months.
Labor troubles are again paramount
in the local mems clothing manufac-
turing field. Conferences between
labor factions and manufacturers are
scheduled and the government is show
ing keen interest in the outcome and
may participate in the deliberations in
an effort to reduce prices. The con-
tinued labor difficulties here are driv-
ing some manufacturers from the city.
Reports that New York manufacturers
are contemp' 'ating opening shops in
other cities are current.

German Mark Falls 5OPoints
Ratio of Exchange Is 43O for
100 French Francs

COBLENZ, Nov. Is (By The Asso-
ciated Press).--The German mark
dropped fifty points yesterday, and
reached its lowest value since the de-
cline after the armistce. Several
banks paid 430 marks for 100 French
francs. The quotation on Friday was
$50 marks for 100 francs.
The bankers of Coblenz expressed
encouragement over the financial pros
poets of the government, but declined
to make any prediction relative to the
future. The American army official
rate for marks during November is 3S3
marks for 100 francs.
