Rail Men Urged to
Refuse Aid to Those
Who Defed Unions
Manifesto of Brotherhoods
Refers to Workers Who
Went on Outlaw Strike
and Seek Unemployment

Copies of a national manifesto by
the grand chiefs of the railroad
brotherhoods, condemning unauthor-
lied strikes and denouncing the one
big union plan, we're received yester-
day by local and nationa! labor unions
in New York.
The manifesto warned members of
the brotherhoods against the ap-
proaches of unauthorized movements.
1t urged against signing petitions call
ing for the unemployment of men who
went out on unauthorized strikes.
1t reviewed the unauthorized strike
of train, engine and yard men in Chi
cago last spring, and pointed out that
hoods were instructed that if they left
the service in violation of the sched-
ule or agreement under which they
were employed, and in violation of the
laws of their organ zation. they jeop-
ardized their brotherhood membership
and it naturally followed that the rail
roads were clearly W thin their rights
in securing other employees to ill the
positions made vacant.
Summing up the results of the unau-
thorized strike, the grand chiefs de-
clared that it was the duty OF all mem
bers to protect working agreements
made by authorized committees against
the decision of member who attempted
to repudiate these agreements. The re
pudiation of an authorized agreement
the grand chiefs declared, was an at.
tempt to discredit or destroy the

certain other recommendations as tc
policy. He struck popular note when
he said:
If this corporation is organized it
Will accelerate world trade and this is
of interest to every man, woman and
child in the United States.
This corporation" he went on, "in
order to succeed, must confine its op-
erations to countries with non-Bolshe-
vik tendencies. Tiis policy will prove
aid to countries where help is needed
1t will enable the world to carry on"
Richard Halves, retiring president of
the Bankers Association and vice
president of the First National Bank
of St. Louis, precipitated the favorable
action taken by the assembly on re-
ports of both committees.
"The time for talking is past-the
moment for action is here" Mr.. Hawcs
declared.
Senator Edge, father of the bill which
makes possible this machinery OF inter
national trade, addressed the assem-
blage and concluded with the announce
ment that "adoption of such plan as
war conditions than anything the coun-
try might do at this time"
"When introduced the bill into Con-
gress,' he went on, "it was with the
yer expectation in mind of solving
some of the intricate problems of after
the war which we in Washington saw
ahead"

The resolution reads. in part:
Alliance Names Its Objects
"The formation of an alliance of al
the garment unions of America for de-
fensive and offensive purposes was al
ways the great objective of the workers
in these trades. Its timel illness, never
theless, was never more emphasized
than at present, when strife and strug-
gle confront the needle industry and
when the employers exhibit an ever
growing attitude of arrogance and dis
regard for the interests of the work
ers. The Needle Trade Workers Ali
ance of America, representing 100000
workers, will be a power for good, ex-
erting a strong and beneficial influence
on the garment-making industry in q
practically unlimited sphere of useful
ness and service.
THE alliance is to act in an advisory
capacity for the various sffilisted inter-
national unions with regard to strikes,
lockouts, organization work and trade
matters, and 8 to assist the affiliated
organization in times of struggles with
their employers by every means at its

Benjamin Schlesinger, president of
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union, was elected perma-
nent president of the Needle Trades
Alliance; Max Zuckerman, of the
United Cloth Hat and Cap Makers, was
elected secretary, and Thomas Sweeney,
of the International Journeymen Tai
lors, was. chosen treasurer.
After meeting Of the Clothing Man
ufacturers' Association at the Hotel
Brevoort it was announced by William
Bandler, president Of the association,
that the manufacturers had dete rminc l
to bring about reductions in the prices
of spring clothes that would put them
within reach of the buying public This
reduction, Mr.. Bandler said, would re-
suit from the savings effected by the
manufacturers in placing their shops
on the piece work system and on q
minimum production scale of work.
The new scale of wages, based on the
piece work system, Mr.. Bandler said
would be ready tomorrow, and some of
the shops now idle would resume work
within few days.

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-THE war of Ger

particularly in Cologne, the motion
picture houses have been featuring

testimony of Mrs. Impellitteri and
her husband, the latter of whom
opposed the suit. Justice Callaghan
said:
ct was hardly necessary to put
the husband on the stand after the
wife had testified. On her. story
alone I had decided to dismiss her
case. I do not believe she was in
fear when She married this man."
Mrs. Impellitteri, who is twenty
four, testified she met Impellitteri

many times, she said, but she always
told him he was not the man for
her. She declared that August 4

ARTILLERY FOR
LARGE ARMY. IS
LEFT FROM WAR

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26,-That
artillery troops for the American
army in the world war were forced
to drill with "improvised wooden
guns, rope harness and other eX-
pedients" because of lack of equip
ment, is officially revealed Tues
dav in the annual report of Major
General William J.. Snow, chief OF
field artillery, to Secretary Baker.
Large quantities of guns, hoWltz-
ers, ammunition and other artillery
material are on hand, left over from
the war" the report said, and the
country thus, for the first time IN
half a century, has on hand suf-
a large size army. Should war IN IN
fortunately break out within the
next few years we would be spared
the spectacle of artillery drilling
with improyised wooden guns, nome
made telephones, rope harness and
similar expedients which character
lied the first year of the present
war"
Decentralization difficulties made
it almost impossible to carry on reg

was made to keep two regiments
trained and recruited up to strength
for possible border duty.
The signal corps is now engaged
in developing combination radio

observation, the report stated, the
new outfit to be built for az tele-
phone range of thirty miles and a

Many regiments had little more

now are taking the artillery course
at different schools, with more
than 5000 trained officers in the

No comment was offered on the
effect of army reorganization legis-
lation on the field artillery, but the

Navy Recruiting for
Last Week Is Record;
3,123 tackles Signed

= WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Recruit-
ing for the navy last week reached
a record for the period since The
department. A total Of 1923 recruits
enlisted.
Navy recruiting officials predicted
that the present authorized enlist
ed strength of $4,000 men will be
reached by next March. The navy
now has between 10000 and $4,000
men.
The increased number Of men no "
being obtained is believed to- be due
to the increased pay for enlisted
men granted in the pay bill passed
by the last session of congress, mo: e
determined efforts by the navy re-
cruiting service and more men as
signed to this work, and to a lesser
demand for labor on the outside.
