The rest Of the difference between the
increase Of 21 per cent for 1910 and the
estimated l5 per cent increase for 1920
probably will be accounted for by an
enormous increase in emigration. For
instance, in the fiscal year ended June 30,
1920, immigration was 621 $40, but emf
grafton for the same year was AS, ,052.

The Mayor told the committee he
would take q personal interest in their
cause and offered to appear at tho
mass meeting to urge Difference Of
action. He said their position would
not be prejudiced if they decide after
further negotiation that strike was
necessary.
Signamen. towermen and members
Of tho Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
gineers have definitely decided not to
go out in sympathy with the motor
men and conductors. The representa-
tives of tho three clnsscs Of employees,
however. at a meeting yesterday, sent
letter to Receiver Garrison urging
him to reconsider his decision to re-
serve certain issues from arbitration.
Mr.. Garrison in a statement ISSUED
last night blamed the union leaders
for all the trouble.
every concession which in reason
and common sense could be made them
has been made" he said. "The agree
ment under which the men are work
ing runs until thirty days notice Of
termination has been given by either
SIDE. NO Sucn nOtlCe mas been given
and the agreement is therefore fully
operative.
at will thus been seen that at pres
ent there is an existing unterminated
agreement, that every legitimate re-
quest to meet, to confer and to nego-
tate with the men has been granted;
that arbitration to the extent to which
the court can legally and possibly go
has been offered and now we are met
by statements that these labor leaders,
as leaders, want something more.
"The suspicion is warrantable that
what they really want is a strike. No
one guided by fairness and reason
can approve their course, and the pub
lie, which will suffer directly and
grossly, will be the victim Of their un-

"If you will postpone this drastic
step for two weeks" he said, "I pledge
you that will use my best efforts
with Judge Mayer to obtain a basis of
arbitration that will meet your ap-
proval."
Mayor Appeals to Workers
The conference in the Mayors Office
was attended, on behalf Of the receiver
ship, by John II. Delaney, Transit Con-
struction Commissioner; Mr.. Shea, and
James NJ. Sheridan, president of Local
No. OFT, of the association. who acted
as spokesman for the committee.
Mr.. Shea presented Article 3 Of the
agreement under which the strike last
year was terminated. 1t stpulates that
any differences between the employees
and the management shall be submitted
to arbitration. He demanded to know
why reservations are now imposed.
The Mayor agreed with the men that
the article provided for the submission
Of controversies to arbitration, but ex-
planned that under the law Federal
Judge Mayer had no alternative other
than to reserve to the court the right
to pass upon the financial ability Of
the receivership to meet awards made
by the arbiters.
IL should take the same position in
this premise" the Mayor said. "No
court can abdlcate it's prerogatives, and
it is incumbent upon Judge Mayer to
allow only such awards as the company
is financially able to meet"
The Mayor appealed to the men to
place the welfare Of the community
if he be Judge"
Wants Strike Withheld
"These are unusual times" he said,
"whcn it is the duty of every citizen
