Il was pointed out that Detroit
without closing ordinance had
suffered less than Buffalo where
nearly all the doors we're closed.
And in Philadelphia and many other
cities the disease increased very
greatly after the closing orders were
put In effect. Great emphasis was
laid. however, on this point that the
closing OF recreation facilities was
Intellectual without the simultaneous
closing OF stores and other Indus
trial establishments.
The thought Of these students Of
public health perhaps can best be
summed up that the most effective
methods OF control OF epidemlcs and

Why Called "sIoodhounds."

Bloodhounds were first known as
southhounds, owing to their ability to
track the deer, Wild boar or the wolf.
When the wounded game broke away
and was lost these good-nosed dogs
were used in tracking the quarry by
the blood trail, and hence they were
finally called bloodhounds.

Bay State Board
Refuses to Probe
Lawrence Strike
Action Taken When Member
Announces Proposal to
Call Friendly Conference
to Discuss Complaints

BOSTON. March 2s.-Thc State
Board of Cancellation and Arbitration,
at special meeting to-day, defeated
a motion that the board proceed to in
vcstigate the textile strike at Law
renee. The motion was presented on
March BY Charles G. Wood, a member
of the board, and was laid on the table
at that time, other members taking
the view that the disturbance was not
one that could be settled by concilia-
ton.
To-day's action of the board in tax
ing up the motion again was prccipi-
tated, it is understood, by the an
nouncement that Mr.. Wood had issued
call for an investigation Of the strike
to be held at Lawrence next Monday.
The announcement said that Mr.. Wood
had invited William j. Kcrwin, of New
Bedford, mill production manager,
and George II. Wrcnn, of Springfield
labor leader, to sit with him in CON
ducting the hearing. Mr.. Wood said
he had requested manufacturers and
strike representatives in Lawrence to
appear for "a friendly heart-to heart
talk"
After adopting resolutions opposing
the investigation the board instructed
the secretary to notify the Lawrence
authorities of its action, and the Nav
or Of Lawrence Immediately issued an
order forbidding the use Of any hall
belonging to the city for the hearing.
Besides Mr.. Wood, the board consists
of Willard Howland, chairman, and
Walter J. Mullen.

Industry Warned
That Labor Seeks
To Be Represented
Jersey State Controller
Tells Chamber of Com
merce That Workers Are
Demanding Rcadjustment

Prefaced by a warning from Newton
A. X. Bugbee, State Controller of New
Jersey, that working people are de-
manding representation in industry,
the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce
held its third conference on "Democ-
racy in Industry" in Newark yester-
day
"Instead of reconstruction, we should
speak of reimbursement" said Mr. Rug
bee, "for workingmen feel that the old
terms of master and man no longer
apply They feel they are part of in
dustrial organization. The men will
insist on representation. Those who
have told men to come and go must
hereafter consult those men,"
A number spoke for representation
of labor in industry as the best means
of warding off Bolshevism
President Quinn of the New Jersey
State Federation of Labor urged CO.
operation between employers and en-
ployes in meeting the "grave common
danger"
Both Mr. Quinn and Henry Hilfers
vice president of the New Jersey Fed
Grafton Of Labor, attacked the shoE
committee movement
Shop committees are only an at
tempt to stem the tide of unionism,
said Mr. Hilfers. "The quicker Won
accept unionism the quicker you will
check Bolshevsm and l. w. W.-ism."
Shop committees were defended by
employers and mems representatives
from the Midvale Steel Company and
the Sprague Electric Works.
A sharp tilt between labor men over
the effectiveness of the War Labor
Board in adjusting industrial disputes
came when John Kearny, an emplove
of the Midvale Steel Company. said
that trouble had ensued at the plant
as the result Of a ruling of the War
Labor Board.
"ln every instance where the War
Labor Board has failed it has been due
to lack of cooperation on the part of
the employer, and sometimes on the
part of employees" said Mr.. Hilfers.

Production, spoke on "The Influence of

Huge Expenditures i'll Pub
lie Contracts TO Employ
Former Enlisted Men Are
Urged by Mayor Hylan

The United States Employment Ser
vice in this city is to continue its re-
construction work with returned SOL
dicrs.
AT the employment rally held last
night at Carnegie Hall, under auspices
of the United War Work Organization
and the United States Employment
Service, DR.. George w. Kirchway, act
ing Federal director of the State of
New York, United States Employment
Service, announced that j. r. Morgan
Co. has volunteered to advance to
him for use of the service 100000
between now and the first of July
In making known the offer DR.. Kirch-
way read letter from j. p. Morgan
& Co., in which they said they be
hcved it would be most unfortunate
that the service should be cut down,
owing to the failure of the deficiency
bill in the last Congress.
Besides DR.. Kirchwey, the speakers
included Martin Conboy, who acted as
chairman of the meeting; Mayor Hylan,
Ii Abram |. Elkus, John D. Densmorc,
Director General of the United States
Employment Service, and George Cor
don Battle. A decidedly optimistic
note prevailed.
Mayor Hylan advocated as the most
practical solution of employment prob
lens immediate setting under way not
only of huge Federal improvement
plans, but local development schemes
by every municipality. He urged that
preference be given to returned sol
dlers and sailors on all this work.
SO far as New York City is con-
cerned Mayor Hylan declared millions
of dollars had been set aside for mum
cipai developments on a scale greater
than ever had been contemplated be
fore. He intimated strongly that sol
dlerS and sailors would be found car
rying the bulk of this work to compile
tion.
The United States, the Mayor said.
found 1t possible to lend billions to the
allies. Now that there is great and
urgent need within her own doors. she
should be as willing, he declared to
lend billions to the returned men who
might wish to undertake farming pur-
suits.
Mr.. Densmore declared that in his
OPINION there was no genuine Bolshe-
Vlsm IN this country. There will be
shortage Of labor here before the
middle of the summer. BY that time.
ne asserted, industrial reorganization
VIII have been completed.
Although Congress failed to make
provision for the work of the employ
men service, Mr. Densmore said that
through the generosity of the public
the work, instead of stopping, was going
ahead IN increased volume Within
the next few days, he added, there will

Shipvards Labor
Agreement To Be
Voted On by Men
Employers and Union Lead
ers in Session at Wash
ington Unable to Sign,
and Meetings Are Ended

WASHINGTON, March 28.-No new
working agreement between Pacific
Coast shipbuilders and the metals
trades unions will be signed by the
conference of shipowners and union
delegates in session here. Representa-
tives of the unions to-day informed the
employers that they would have to
submit the proposals to their unions
for final consideration
The employers presented their final
terms of agreement and prepared to
leave Washington Immediately. Mean
while the union men held final scs-
sion to determine whether they would
make any recommendations to their
locals in submitting the proposals.
President O'Connell, Of the Metal
Trades Department of the American
Federation Of Labor said the final
terms of the shipbuilders provided for
the continuance Of existing wages and
working conditions from April to
October 1 next, extension of the IA
hour week TO the San Francisco yards
and the creation of Cancellation
board of five union men apd five en-
ployers. These provisions were said to
bc acceptable TO the workers, but in
sistence that preference in employment
be given union men was salG to have
blocked an agreement.
While the Pacific Coast union men
were holding their final meeting dele
gates Of The Atlantic and Gulf Coast
yards completed the drafting of an
agreement which is to be submitted to
the employers. The two agreements
would affect about 100000 workers on
the east coast and 125,000 on the west
coast.
The agreement provides for the
creation of Cancellation board which
would adjust wages and working CON
ditions, with the provso that existing
wages and conditions continue until
October I next.
Tho boards headquarters would be
maintained at Philadelphia at the joint
expense Of employers and workers. The
agreement also provides for a 44hour
week in all yards.

Votes TO Stick for 8 Hours

Stormy Meeting Addressed
by Other Leaders; Nacca-
relli Breaks With Chief

The Lighter Captains Union unani.
mously rejected yesterday a proposal
of T. V. O'Conner, international presi
dent of the Longshoremen's Union
that it accept an increase III wages II
lieu of all demands for which they are
striking, and voted unanimously in
stead to stand firm for the eight-hour
day. The union also voted to make nc
settlement not in harmony with tho
demands Of the marine workers affili-
alton.
The Lighter Captains Union is q
branch of the longshorcmen's associa-
sion. and tho meeting, held IN 217
Court. Street. Brooklyn, was called by
order of O'Conner. 1t brought to-
gether more members than tho hall

dent OF the afiiliation; John +. Riley,
president of the Longshoremens Dis
trict Council, and other strike leaders
across the river.
O'Connor faced hostile crowd when
he arose to make his proposition. In
substance. it was that the men return
to work under the old working CON
ditions for an increase in wages Of
about Is per cent. Cries OF "Throw him
out" punctuated his remarks, Peace,
he said, probably could he obtained on
such terms, and he advised that they
be accepted
Delahunty, Maher and Stephen Con
New-York tribune., 1919-03-29

| don, secretary of the affiliation and
| leader Of the lighter captains, opposed
the proposition, declaring the men can
not lose the strike and that O'Connor
| by intervening. was only postponing a
settlement. John +. Riley also spoke,
defending O'Connor's right to make a
proposal for settlement, but assur-
ing the members that the longshore-
men of New York would stick to the
end.
Earlier in the day a statement was
issued over the signatures of the
officers of the Longshoremen's District
Council defending O'Connor from at
tacks made upon him by Delahunty.
The statement, after declaring that the
longshoremen are vitality interested in
the strike because Of the $4,000 of
them made idle, and because four of
its unions are members of the affilia-
ton, reiterated the intention of the
council to continue to support the
strikers.
"The district council" said the
international Longshoremen's Assocla-
tion has in the past supported the
Marine Workers Atfiliaton strike, still
does so, and will continue to do so.
"However. the district council wishes
to state most emphatically that it re-
sents the aspersions cast by officials
OF the Marine Workers Afiiliation upon
the international officers Of the Long
shoremen's Association to the effect
that they are not supporting the strike
as they should. The district coun-
Gil wishes to affirm it's full confidence
in I. V. O'Connor, and announces that
the international Longshoremen will
abide by his orders in all matters af-
fccting the strike"
Calls Them Hand-Picked
The publication of this statement
was met by charges that there had
ell. This was explained by President
Riley, who said the executive council
had acted. He admitted that the at
tendance was light, owing to inability
of the officers to get in touch with
all of the 112 members Of the exccu-
tive council
"The statement" said +. Paul A.
Naccareill, international vice president
of the Long gshoremen's Association for
the Port of New York, "means nothing
