Support OF Blue
Campaiggner Denied
BY Jewish Alliance
Secretary Says Organization
Does Not Indorse Work of
DR.. Crafts; Is Not Linked
With Film Concerns

William Rosenberg, executive secre-
tary of the Jewish Sabbath Alliance
yesterday denied statement attribut-
ed TO DIR. Wilbur f. Cats in an ad-
dress at the West Side Y. NJ. C. A.
Sunday, to the effect that the alliance
has expressed conhdenc. il. Or. Crafts
and his work for closed Sunday. DR.
Crafts is also quoted as saying thai
the alliance has been misled into sup
porting their brothers, the Sunday
movie people"
Mr.. Rosenberg, in his statement, de-
clares that the Jewish Sabbath ALI
ance Of America was organized for
only one purpose-'to protect the in
terests of those VINO observe the Sab
bath from sundown Friday to the ap-
pearance of the stars Saturday, or, as
they are commonly called, seventh day
Sabbath Observers" The work of the
organization is done from religious
standpoint and no other, he says.
Il am not surprised at an assertion
Mr.. Rosenberg, that this organization
has united with the movie men, who
oppose the blue laws from business
standpoint only"
Mr.. Rosenberg in his statement then
goes on to say that the same people
who are prominent to-day in the blue
law drive cansed the defeat of bill
which the alliance had introduced in
the last Legislature, which, if passed
would have given to the seventh day
observer the privilege Of working on
Sunday
They succeeded last January and
are using the same methods now,'
continued Mr.. Rosenberg, by declar-
ing that we are united with the movie
men, with whom this organization
never has been in roucn. We will
cause new bill to be introduced in
the coming Legislature for the same
religious purpose and for no other
reason whatever"
Mr. Rosenberg then challenged DR.
Crafts to read in full any letter from
the alliance expressing approval OF
DR.. Crafts's work. Instead of express
ing approval of DR.. Crafts and his as
sociates, Mr.. Rosenberg says, the sue
cess Of the proposals of the Lords
Day Alliance would mean trouble for

City Plea Heard Against
Raise in Electric Rates
Court Orders Briefs in Rrook-
lyn Edison Case Filed by
January 10

Arguments for ana against the issu-
ance of a temporary injunction re-
straining the Brooklyn Edison Com
pany from increasing its electric cur
rent rate were heard Yesterday by Jus
tice Benedict in the Brooklyn Supreme
Court. The company has $50 900
consumers.
Justice Benedict ordered that briefs
be submitted by both sides. January 10.
Corporation Counsel Jonn' F. ODrien
argued for the injunction. The COM
pany was represented by Samuel
Moran.
Mr.. O'Brien said that in announcing
its proposed increase Of rates the
Brooklyn company merely sent notices
through the nail and that the con-
sumers had not been given an oppor-
tunity to argue against such raise.
"The law" said Mr. O'Bricn, "requ,res
thirty days notice published of such
intentions. Notices were not even
posted in the company's Offices of this
proposed increase"
Mr.. Moran ccntendcd that the city
had no authority to fight the suit in
behalf of the consumers and said that
the consumer individually should bring
suiteagainst the company.

To Lay OFF More Men
Further Rcfrenchnlent in Ex-

President Reass Statement

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27.-President
Samuel Rea, of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road system, announced to-day that
present business conditions would ne
cessitate furthe. reduction in the num-
Der of employees and in the working
expenses and capital expenditures un-
til the situation improved,
The number Of men to be laid off was
not announced. 1t was understood it
is the purpose of the management to
cut exp enses about 10 per cent. Presi-
dent Eeas statement said:
Conditions now confronting the
Pennsylvania and other railroads make
it essential to observe the utmost
econo'ny consistent with safety and ef-
ficiency. Traffic has already declined
and unmistaAablc indications exist of
a slowing up Of business. 1t is very
impc rtant that the situation should be
clearly understood by the employees
and the public.
"It is hoped that such reduction in
business as may take place will con-
tinue only for brief period, but this
condition has already involved curtail-
ment and will necessitate further re-
ducton in the number of employees
and in the working expenses and capi-
tai expenditure until the situation i'm
proves"

week, the two exchanging texts and
suggestions five times. The linking to-
gether of these texts, which are still
in existence, clearly shows the aim OF
their endeavors. If, in default of rati-
fication of the treaties by Great Brit
ain and America, France in fifteen
years has no other pledge Of security
than occupation of the left bank. Of
the Rhine and its bridgeheads, this
occupation can be prolonged until there
are other guarantees; that Is to av
until the two treaties signed on June
20 are in force or there are equivalent
agreements"
Tardieu also said: "If the English
and American treaties fail US, would
we be deprived in fifteen years of a
guaranty of occupation? For reasons
which every one will understand I did
not reply to this question on February
ID while the debate was still open in
the American Senate"
French to Remain on Rhine
1t is plain from this mornings in
spired press that whether Tardicu is
right or not in his view of the situa-
tion France has no intention of evacu-
the Versailles Treaty. She will remain
at least until the treaty provisions are
executed. 1t is pointed out that Presi-
dent Millerand already has made q
declaration to this effect which the AL
lies affected not to hear.
If France retains heF present atti-
tude, she presumably will remain in
Germany for the next forty-two years
now being talked Of by the Brussels
conference experts as The time re-
quired for the execution Of the treaty
terms.
All the papers recognize that France
at least, has case for demanding that
the Allies permit her to remain or
the Rhine if America and England fai,
to guarantee Frances security.
La Liberte wants to know if France
will be authorized to take over the
British and American bridgeheads
when these advance posts in Germany
are evacuated. This question seems
likely to become the next burning sub
jcct Of international diplomacy.
