There was general relief In Paterson,
y. j.. last night over indications tat the
IS, 900 silk mill workers in the SILK City
will return to work, possibly a week
from to-day.
The conference committee OF the
United Textile Workers. representing
5000 organized hands. decided yester-
day that the s&ikers shall go back TO
their Jobs on temporary basis OF eight
hours n day and five working days a
week pending a settlement OF the con-
troverxy by the War Labor Board.
This action was taken In pursuance
OF an agreement by the manufacturers
on Saturday to leave the matter OF work
ing hours to the workers until the ques-
tions at issue are determined by the
board.
The War Labor Board now will de-
eide whether there will be nifty hour
week az demanded by the manufac-
turers. or forty-eeven hour week ss de-
manded by the workers. The strike
must he declared off. at least for the
time being. before the questions In dis
pute will be adjudicated.

MANY ALDERMEN
CALLED IGNORANT
MediOcrity Shines Among
Members of Board, Says
Citizens Union Report.

Tho Tarmany dominated Board OF
Aldermen and its activities during 1918
are made the subject OF a report that is
anything hut complimentary to the acu-
men or conscientiousness OF Its members
generally by the Citizens Cnion--the
organization described by Mayor Hylan
last week as the biggest bunch Of
takers in town"
In a survey OF the 54l approved
measures passed by the board during
the year the Citizens Union finds that
the great majority were OF n routine or
mandatory nature and that only four are
OF such nature to arouse the interest
Of the average citizen. These were the
measure repeating the provision adopted
by the last administration placing upon
the abutting property owner. rather than
the city. the duty and cost OF keeping
sidewalks in repair; a companion ordi-
nance reenacting the preexistIng section:
the ordinance licensing theatre ticket
agencies and regulating prices OF thea
tire tickets not sold in the box office and
the ordinance prohibiting the exhibition
of the red flag at public meetings.
OF the entire board the Citizens Union
finds that only fifteen or at the utmost
twenty. are OF type to which the aver
age man would entrust an ordinary bust
ness transaction. There are many. the
report says. VINO are downright ignorant
and with few exceptions the rest arc
OF mediocre ability or have neither the
capacity nor the desire TO tackle their
Jobs seriously
The Citizens Union raises the question
again OF the possible desirabilty OF
abolishing the board altogether, After
classifying tho legislative measures
passed by the board and reviewing the
provisions OF the four measures which It
finds contain ut least n germ o: public
interest the report deals with the per-
sonnel Of the board IN this fashion:
"As . group the Socialists are above
the average. Assisted by their Alder
manic Bureau OF Research. which thew
maintain AT their own expense, they are
enabled when Offering "A proposed ord!-
nance 10 present TO the board a COM
plete survey OF the subject The form
OF their ordinances and resolutions is
usually correct"
In conclusion the repor, said:
TO allow the existing situation 70
continue Indefinitely as II is Is simply
ridiculous. Any one who ,s familiar with
the detailed workings of the board will
admit that. The time must surely come
when We shall be forced TO thresh on,
the question thoroughly and to determine
finally either TO transfer the board's
powers and abolish II entirely or IN
Increase It's powers and make Il truly
the representative legislative body OF
great metropolis

CARPENTERS STRIKE
REACHES 112 CITIES
General Walkout Ordered to
Enforce Demand for 81 a
Day Wage Raise.

The clamor Of the building trades for
wage increases which began several
days ago in New York city by a strike
OF 5000 carpenters was ordered ex-
tended yesterday to AZ centres in all
parts OF the country. The walkout to-
day will halt building contracts total
ling more than $500. 100000 and will ac-
feet between 100000 and 100000 work
ers. IL was estimated.
In making this announcement Of the
strike order William l.. Hutchinson.
president OF the United Brotherhood OF
Carpenters and Joiners, said:
'All the contracts of the Building
Trades Employers Association will be
tied up by the strike movement which
has been started all over the United
States. The walkout OF carpenters,
bricklayers and engineers will throw out
all other trades. There IL no telling the
dimensions which the movement will as
sumo. 1t Is directed solely against the
Building Trades Employers Association"
Mr.. Hutchinson own position In the
strike Is somewhat paradoXical because
Of the fact that he Is an alternate chair
man of the United States War Labor
Board. In explaining his stand he said
that he felt perfectly Justified in calling
the strike. which Is In the main a de-
mand for 81 day increase in wages.
The strikers have requested the War
Labor Board to act and are willing to
accept arbitration.
The matter Ia entirely up to the en-
ployers association" said Mr.. Hutche-
son. at must be their move to ask for
arbitration because the War Labor
Board cannot act unless both parties TO
the strike ask for mediation. Our re-
quest was submitted at the time the
carpenters first went out IN this city.
and 1t will stand"
The unionists are ready to block the
move Of contractors having charge of
base, Second avenue and Fifty-n.nth
street. Tho work being done there Ia
on contracts totalling s45.ooo.000. The
employers announced Saturday that
they would bring in strikebreakers. and
yesterday the union leaders organized
500 discharged soldiers to act as pickets
Efforts will be made TO persuade work
men who appear not to enter the
grounds.
Samuel Il. Dornelly. secretary OF the
Building Trades Employers Association.
said that work will be continued at the
army base to-day. and that he had
1000 men TO take the place Of the
strikers.
Allied with the actual demands OF the
strikers /" deeply laid sentiment OF op-
position to the Employers Association
which has outcropped at intervals every
few years. In this city alone the build
ing work under contract totals 3,000,-
600. Contracts in Central states cities
