An Attempt to Discredit Or.
ganization of Trainmen,
Says President Lee, and
1t Won't Be Sanctioned
Will Confer With Hines
No Likelihood of Increase
in Wages; Extra for Over
time Is the Chief Hope

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-A strike Of
trainmen in the Chicago switching dis
trict, called by local union leaders for
Thursday unless certain wage demands
are granted ain full" would be wholly
unauthorizedand without the sanction
of the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men," 1t was said here tonight by w.
G. Lee, president Of the Brotherhood.
The proposed strike, Mr.. Lee said,
was nothing more than an attempt. to
discredit the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen."
Mr.. Lee said two officials of the
brotherhood attended the meeting said
TO have been held Sunday night, and
at which it was announced by local
union leaders the strike was decided
on. These officials, however, Mr.. Lee
said, had no knowledge of any decision
to call strike.
Mr.. Lee and the general committee
of the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men will confer tomorrow with Di-
rector General Hines ON the unions
wage demands, which are about TO be
decided. MIR. Hines has had the recon-
mendations of the board Of railway
wages before him for two weeks, but
whether he has been able to reach
decision in the rush of work incident
to the threatened coal strike has not
been revealed. 1t was agreed when
hn n ri Tel,
that the officials of the railroad ad-
ministration and the union would con-
fer before the award was made pub
lie, which accounts for to-morrow's
meeting.
No Increase Is Likely
1t is considered CERTAIN that the
unions request for general wage in
crease will be refused. Mr.. Hines will
act on the demands independently of
President Wilson, it was learned
uthoritatively to-day, but the Pres-
dents general policy, laid down at the
time the shopmen were denied gen
eral increase, but given an adjustment
of inequalities compared with other
union members, will govern his de-
cision.
The most important question pre-
sented by the unions demands ia that
OF time and half for overtime, which
has been sought for several years AS
punitive measure" to curtail the long
hours OF work. If granted it Won d oe
the most important victory gained by
railroad employees since the eight-hour
law became effective.
In discussing the labor situation as
it relates to railway men and coal min
crs, Mr.. Lee said to-day:
The government cannot force miners
to dig coal or men to move trains with
all the soldiers in the world. If it can,
then men are in condition Of involun-
tary servitude. 1t would mean that no
man could quit his job if his employer
were powerful enough to secure gov
ernment intervention.

4nti-Saloon League
Pledges Assistance to
'Dry'' Enforcement

Andrew B. Wood. assistant superin-
tendent of the anti-Saloon League of
New York, told last night Of Commits
sioner Roper's appeal for assistance in
enforcing wartime prohibition, said
the Anti-Saloon League would be more
than glad to cooperate.

get about that we have a large force
of detectives or that we are planning
to have large force" Mr. Wood said.

policy always has been to educate the
public to employ the existing machn-
cry for law enforcement.

2. Is Beer Still To Be Had
But There Is Very Little
of 1t Left and No More Is
To Be Brewed for Present

Brewers agreed Yesterday that they
would obey the provisions of the Vol
stead law, and drop the manufacture
of beer until such time as it is legal to
make it again. If they keep their word
New York will be dry in very few
days. The. brewers, however, are plan
ming to test the new law in the courts
at the earliest possible moment. This
was announced yesterday by Hugh
Fox, secretary of the United States
Brewers Association.
The last beer was drawn from the
rats of New York breweres last week.
Comparatively few deliveries of beer
have been made to saloonkeepers this
week. Consequently when the Vol
stead bill was passed by the Senate

afternoon there wasn't much of a
stock in New York saloon cellars.
On Monday the New York Retail
Liquor Dealers Association adopted a
resolution whereby all agreed to OBJ
serve strictly the letter of the law
with reference to wartime prohibition.
A committee OF members issued a
statement then, in which they made
II clear that some of the members
were prepared to attempt to sell GER
cal beverages with an alcoholic con-
tent OF less than one-half of one per
cent, and would also sell food, but
they declared none would defy the
law by selling 2.75 per cent. beer.
2.75 Still on Sale
The Volstead act had little apparent
effect in New York last night save in
the comparatively few instances where
liquor dealers voluntarily observed it.

bar except those in the big hotels. The
covert sale to known patrons of whis-
key was as general as it has been at
any time since July |, and in many
places it could be purchased bv who
ever had the price, none too moderate,
as q rule.
Saloonkeepers and bartenders gen
orally agreed the prospects were not
bright for defiance of the dry law.
Ihey were momentarily expecting
warning from the Liquor Dealers As
soclaton that the arm of the Federal
government would descend day upon
the dispenser of even mild 2.75. In
any event. the supply of that beverage
and of whisky on hand in the saloons
is limited. and it was conceded it would
be next to impossible to replenish it

Careful Along Broadway
More care was exercised in Broadway
saloons last night than in those on
side streets and in Harlem, The Bronx
and lower Manhattan. Along the Bow
cry and adjacent thoroul hfares alleged
whisky was to be had by almost anybody
who cared to take a chance. In other
sections of the city regular customers
were able to take on enough fuel to
carry them on their voyages homeward.
