$1,000 600 have been returned to manu-

been unable to get rid of them because
of the railroad tie-up. While stocks

Traffic Plan Evolved
James J. Riordan, president of the
United States Trucking Corporation,
and member of the Mayors special
committee on traffic conditions, sent a
plan of operation of his firm which, he
says, has helped solve the traffic conges-
tion about the city, and which he offers
as a suggestion to the merchants Of the
city who are now organizing an indc-
pendent trucking system. The plan in
cludes the division of the city into
trucking zones with branch Offices to
serve that particular community. This
system, says Mr.. Riordan, has elimin-,
ated all duplication. and has removed
much crosstown and up and downtown
traffic that caused considerable conges-
ton.

word concerning them. The only In
formation regarding Mexico received
by the State Department, it was an
nounced, was that concerning condi-
tions in Monterey and delayed report
of the adhesion of the Federal forces
in Guadalajara to the revolutionary
movement May 12. In Monterey all
public Offices were said to be operating
as usual and the de facto forces were
respecting the rights of foreigners and
nationals alike. Foodstuffs were re-
ported to have increased in prices and
the local Chamber of Commerce to
have adopted relief measures in behalf
of the poor
The repair of the lines of communi-
cation had not yet progressed far
enough to enable even the government
to obtain its reports except in frag-
mentary form, although wires out of
Monterey were being restored.
Anticipating the demands that the
new government in Mexico is expected
to make on the money markets of the
world for loans, it is known banking
representatives have discussed unoffi
cially the financial situation with the
the de facto government in the United
States have asserted no effort would be
made to obtain a loan until provi-

reported that group of New York
banks. has decided that until the forces
that drove Carranza from power had
given them and the American govern

Mexico, no money would be advanced.
This determination was reported to
have received the support Of Paris and

Jersey Labor
Meeting Ends
In Free Fight
Battle Royal in Hall After
State Board Rcpudiates
Third Party Movement
by Vote of 600 to 100
Opposition to Compers Pro-
gram Consists Mainly of
Machinists' Union Group

The Joint State Legislative Board
of the New Jersey State Federation of
Labor voted, 800 to 100, yesterday at
special convention in Krueger Audi
torium, Newark, to adopt the political
program of the Amerrcao Federation of
Labor instead of organizing for the
Presidential election as separate
party.
Then, still divided six to one, the
board unjointed itself and had dis
jointed, free-for-all fight. One man
was sent to the City Hospital, dozens
filled with those less indelibly marked
who were striving to remove the tokens
Of combat.
The nucleus Of the opposition at the
convention was group of machlnlsts
Most Of the members Of that union in
Newark are said to be Socialists. There
were about fifty machinists at the
meeting, and about an equal number
of other radicals or malcontents raj
lied to their standard when it came to
voting, shouting or fighting.
Quinn States Situation
Arthur f. Quinn, head of the State
Federation of Labor, presided and ex-
planned in his opening address the
choice that was open to the convention.
1t could indorse the plan of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor he said, and
strive to accomplish its ends along non
partisan lines by voting for the candi-
date who was deemed friend of labor
and against the candidate who was
deemed q foe. Or it could vote to or
ganize and support the American Labor
party.
The first speaker, Duncan Mcdonald,
a miners union delegate, was propo-
nent of the separate party idea. He
was followed by more than a dozen
other speakers. some for and. some
against the separate party: As the
speeches went on the audience be-
and there delegates jumped to their
feet and tried to get recognition, re-
gardless Of who had the floor
From shouts intended merely to be
expressions Of opinion, the uproar
grew to medley of jeers and taunts
Socialists were booed and, in turn,
booed their opponents. The din indi-
Gated an almost equal division of opin-
ion. But when the vote was taken it
was seen that the radicals surpassed
merely in lung power.
Undaunted, they yelled "Steam roll
er!" and similar phrases, while man
who seemed to hold a position of lead
ership in the group of machinsti
roared that 1t was "a crooked vote y
that outsiders were present and a roll
call must be taken.
Punch Slences Insurgent
A dozen challengers shouted to him
to get up on the platform and make
good his charges. He contented him
self, however, with reiterating them in
augmented volume. Suddenly his voice
was stilled by wallop which had beer
planted deftly and vigorously upor
his nose. He took himself, his noss
and his stentoran tones out of the
building in haste, slamming the door
against it.
1t showed generalship of high or

filled with chairs, cuspidors and OBJ
