A. F. of L. Will Oppose
City Merchants to the Last:
Give Out Plans Thursday

The Central Federated Union, at its
meeting in the Labor Temple last
night, declared in a resolution that or
ganized labor here will stand with the
striking longshoremen and teamsters
to finish in the fight for their de-
mands and in the battle with the Citi-
zens Transportation Committee and the
Merchants Association.
The Central Federated Union de-
clared that organized labor will never
accept the open shop and will fight the
employers to the last ditch on this
issue. The executive committee of the
organization was ordered to raise a
large fund in support of the strikers
and a citywide campaign to put the
moral support of organized labor be-
hind the men of the transportation
trades will be inaugurated.
The action of the union was taken
following addresses delivered by John
F. Riley, business manager of the In
ternational Longshoremen's Associa-
ton, and William f. Kehoe, secretary
Of the Transportation Trades Council

Of the Citizens transportation Com
mittee to put the harbor of New York
on an open shop basis were made yes

216 West Fifty eighth Street. Ways
and means of meeting the challenge OF
the Citizens transportation Commit
tee were discussed. The meeting went
over the same ground covered at E

Council the day before.
William F. Kehoe, secretary of the
Transportation Trades Council, who at
tended, said the meeting of the bust
ness agents of the teamsters was not
called for the purpose of discussing

cided upon to meet the situation from
the point of view Of the labor organi.
cations involved in the protracteC

Joy Reigns in Home
OF Youth Freed of
''Tough Kid'' Label
Mother Weeps for Pleasure
as She Tells of Court
Lifting Cloud From the
Reputation of Her Boy

Willie McCue, the erstwhile "tough
kid" of Hell's Kitchen, was off on his
tugboat to Kingston yesterday after
noon, leaving his mother sole custodian
of his glory. This had ilumined her
simple household like an extra red
sunset over the Hudson River docks
ever since the Supreme Courts de-
cision on Thursday that the boy had
been libelled by the publication of his
picture in book by the Russell Sage
Foundation.
1t was a radiant day for Willie's
mother.
Her name is Mrs. Annie Harbinger
now.
In the spic and span little kitchen of
the fat at 7O6 Eleventh Avenue, where
Willie and his big brother Mike were
born and where Mrs. Harbinger has
been janitor now going on twenty
left her with two little boys to sup
port, Mrs. Harbinger herself was that
f1ustered that she couldn't quite keep
the tears back as she told her story,
which was silly, as she admitted her
self, for, after all these years, she
ought to be grateful for the kindness
Of the good Lord in giving her boy
back his reputation. 1t was eleven
years ago, when Willie was nine years
old, that the picture appeared.
How Picture Was Taken
"It's been a long time, but Ive never
forgotten how it affected me when
first saw that childs picture in that
book. And him so innocent, the way
he let the man take his picture! They
were playing tag on the street here
and the man told the kids he'd take
their pictures and send them one the
next day for themselves. And he stooc
Willie up against the saloon door, and
rumpled his hair, and told him to scow
like. The next day, when Willie came
home to supper, he said, Did the pic
ture come, map and then he told me
about it. And he said, 1T may cost
you a quarter, ma, when it comes, but
it will be worth it, cause the man tool
the picture real careful But / never
saw the picture nor the man that tool
it, until jim Weeks, that lives aroune
the corner here, found the picture ir
the library book, calling my boy the
toughest kid on the street.
"Well, Willie is off on his tugboa
and we can't have any celebration un
til ne gets back on Sunday. Mayb,
then I'll make strawberry shortcak,
for his dinner.
He'll be happy boy on that boat
though, this night. Then money? Oh
he's not worrying about the money!

A policeman arrested Benjamin S.
Brines, twenty years old, yesterday for
his attempts to gain knowledge.
Last night the tall, sallow youth,
whose shoulders speak of much bend
ing over q desk, sat behind a door less
easy to open than the portal Of his
shabby room at 81 East Fourth Street.
The familiar night sounds Of Jefferson
Market prison echoed through the cor
ridor outside. Benjamin Brines did not
hear them. lie sat as close as he might
to the pale electric globe in his cell,
still trying to educate himself.
There he will remain until Monday
while probation officer investigates
his case. Hitherto the lad has worked
as a machinist by day and studied at
night. Imprisonment is no hardship
to him. He has books with him. For
two days he can pursue his search for
knowledge without having to do other
work to keep alive.
"Interfering with the business Of the
Public Library, Fifth Avenue and
Forty-second Street." is one of the
charges on which Brines was arraigned
before Magistrate Fleishman yesterday.
The other is more specific. 1t accuses
him of stealing a book from the Ii
brary.
Admits He Stole knowledge
"If it's crime to steal knowledge,
then Pll plead guilty" the slim, fragile
looking boy said when brought before
the magistrate.
On table lay the books he had
taken from the library without permis-
sion. He explained he had not in
tended to steal them. knowledge, he
said quietly, meant everything in the
world. For lack of it his family had
been broken up. Month by month, he
said, he had been fighting to get the
knowledge that he believed would be
the key to all the wonders Of the world
to him.
