PLEA
IN PAY ENVELOPES
. Of BROOKLYN MEN
Chamber of Commerce Warns
Rail Tie-Up Threatens to
Leave 100000 Idle.

In the pay envelope OF practically
every employee Of Brooklyn industrial
plants on the next pay day there will
be, in addition to the usual amount
of money, an appeal to the men to
protect themselves by protecting the
source of their own pay.
The appeal was framed by a COM
mittee of the Brooklyn Chamber Of
Commerce last night, 1t deals with
the railroad strike, calls attention
to its lawless character and to the
disastrous effect 1t promises to have.
1t was estimated by experts that If
the strike lasts two weeks longer
there will be between $4,000 and 100.-
900 Brooklyn workmen idle. simply
because their employers cannot use
them without railroad facilities.
Lack of raw material and storage
space for finished goods that ought
to be shipped win cause the closing
of factories.
Dozens OF speakers, each repre-
senting a big Industrial plant, gave
testimony like that. 1t was a meet
ing of the whole Chamber, and .
committee of five was appointed tC
plan for action.
The Intertype Corporation, EN-
ploying $50, reported that 1t coulC
not run more than ten days unless 4
gets more new material. The John
son Lumber Company called atten
| ton to the lack of material for houst
building and for packing cases. TIT
| Monotype Corporation, employing g.,
| 200, declared that relief must com,
| in four days.
The National Lead Company salt
II might have to close one department
tomorrow and the rest in two week
unless there is relief. The Kalb
fetish Manufacturing Company
trucking from 30 to 80 miles, but
lacks RAW material and storage spac
for finished products.
These are samples. There wer
many more witnesses who told sim
liar stories. The strike was de
| nounced as lawleSs and the railroa
| managements were urged to night
to a finish. And the employees wer
urged to fight just as hard, because
It was said, their danger is as grea

Back Of the Industrial revolt on
the railways is the cost of living and
inequitablc taxation. Congress is
lodging Legislation because this is
campaign year and its motto Is TO do
the least that VIII cause political
antagoni SINS. The executive branch
OF the Government is equally hmd
about pressing It's case against prof.
teers and those VINO are keeping up
the cost Of living. Indeed Congress
says the executive departments can
cut the cost Of living IL they will but
enforce the laws on the statute books
So between q Republican Congress
and Democratic Executive very
little has happened, though labor
leaders have been repeatedly giving

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE ar
sTival In the House yesterday, from
the Military Affairs Committee, of
the Army Appropriations bill marked
the practical completion of com
mittee work on twelve of the thir-
teen big appropriation measures. The
House now sees its way clear to
carry out the programme which calls
for cutting S1,25O.OOO,O0O or moro
from the estimates OF the Govern
ment Departments, but that doesn't
necessarily mean any reduction in
taxation, because mountains of addi-
tionai demands are rising on the
horizon as Congress approaches
closer to adjournment.
Up TO this time the committees
Nave reported to the House bills
carrying appropriations aggregating
S1,719,129,924. The original demands
on the items reported amounted TO
about $2,716,229, 900. The apparent
saving by cutting appropriations is

two of the big bills and action by

: gone TO the Senate side the House
Recommendations have been increas-
ed to the extent OF S49,OOO,OOO, which
cuts the apparent House saving down
60 about SS5O,OOO,O0O.
It Ia anticipated that the Senate
will spend a lot of time on the peace
resolution and delay final action on
the Appropriation bills.
