''biC g. WILL NOT ARDITRATE:
 ANY DEEnI.llhNDS

New York, Nov. 3-Members of Typogra phical Union No. yesterday by unanimous vote refused to submit their demands for increased wages and forty-four-hour week to arbitra- ton. They voted to resubmit the de- mands to the unions scale commit tee, indicating that even higher pay will be asked. The action was taken at meeting at New Star Casino, 107th Street and Park Avenue, which was attended by more than 5000 members of the union. About that number of members have declared vacations in book and job offices.
 For the first time since the present difficulties arose four officers of the
 international Typographical Union at tended the meeting and addressed the men. Although the discussion was be- hind closed doors, it was known that the international officers went before the idle printers to endeavor to patch up the differences between the local and the parent body. The visiting of fcers included Secretary-Treasurer John w. Hays, Walter Barrett, first yyiceapresident and organizer; Charles Smith, third president, and Bert Brady, organizer.

THE DICKEY BIRD.

While smoking my pipe last evening And watching the smoke curl in the
 air, Thro the open window a little bird
 came And perched on the back of my
 chair. He began by saying, If your cars
 out of date And you are looking for one that is You'll have no trouble in the matter For the boss'u sign a waiver for
 you. ''Or if you happen to be a keeper of
 pigs And want a place to keep the swine You'n find all the money you need for
 this, Though the children have to study
 half time. Perhaps you've a brother that's out
 of a job. Cliff will take care of that By giving him a lift at eleven per Provided, of course, you stand pat" Where have you been, little friend ?''
 I asked. And for answer he gave me a
 nudge I've been," he said, ''to get a good
 look At the million dollar Grand Street
 Bridge. Have a care," said the bird, "in
 crossing this bridge And always avoid getting into a
 crowd For if you do. the bridge itself Like the cassions, may slip into the
 mud. 50 it's rock a bye baby on the Grand
 Street Bridge While the people make such a great
 fuss, Because they never can or will forget That twas built on a ten per cent
 plus.'' As out of the window my little friend
 went I heard him sing this refrain, November fourth there1l be a great
 change And Vincent is the coming man." After what Dickey said as I smoked

STATEMENT BY
 N. E. DIRECTOR ON GOAL STATUS

The following statement is issued today by Percy R. Todd, New Eng land District Director of the United States Railroad Administrations:
 "On account of the national crisis brought about by the strike of the bituminous coal miners, the public will doubtless have to suffer much in- convenience and possible loss, but the question at issue is one of such vital importance to the life of the nation that every citizen should gladly bear his share of the trouble caused by it, and certainly the government has done everything in its power to avoid the strike.
 "On account of the absolute neces- sity of conserving bituminous coal in every possible way in order to keep a reasonable amount of passenger and freight service in effect, it will be necessary for the railroads through out the entire country to greatly modify their train service, and this will be done imme ediately in New Eng land proportionately as it is done in other sections of the country.
 A meeting of the managers of all of the New England railroads has been called at Boston, Monday, Nov. Srd, with a view to taking off a num- effort will be made to discommode the public as little as possible under the circumstances. However, it is abso- lutely necessary to make material re- duction in the service.

RAILMEN DROP
 PLUMB PLAN FOR 2-YEhR CONTROL.
Brotherhood Foresee Defeat of Operation By
 Employees.

Washington, Nov. 3-Hope for put ting through Congress at the present session the so-called Plumb plan for turning over the railroads of the country to their employees and making the government and the stockholders minority interests in their operation, virtually has been abandoned by the chiefs of the four great railroad brotherhoods and by those officers of the American Federation of Labor who have heretofore given it their approval. As a consequence of this decision, a bill will be introduced in Congerss, probably today, by Repre- sative Nolan, of California, or some other member close to labor, provid- ing an extension of the present gov ernment control and opera ton of the railways for two years after peace is declared.
 The two-year extension proposal was said by labor leaders to have the ap- proval of the railroad administration, if it does not have it's active support. It will appear in Congress jus about the time the House Interstate Com merce Committee completes it's draft of railroad legislation.
 Defeat of Extension Forecast.
 Neither in the House committee draft nor in that framed in Senate committee is any such extension pro vided, and in the present temper of Congress with labor and with the feeling that the railroads have not been managed by the government to the best advantage of the nation, it is not regaI ded as probable it will be willing to put them under such con trol for two more years.
 The Republican majority in Con gress has been a violent critic of gov ernm ent operation almost since it came to be factor, and it is not ex- pected it will have change of heart just because the brotherhoods and the American Federation of Labor back the railroad administration for a further extension of Federal con- trol
