injury has been caused to the public.
All of these injuries were caused by
breach of contract and calling of the
strike.
"The contract which was broken was
between the receiver and o committee
composed of the Amalgamated MEM
bers selected by the Amalgama ted
Association, and the strike was call al
and indorsed by that association. Uh~
der the circumstances there was no
other proper course open to the court
and the receiver in view of their duty
to the public than to refuse to imperil
the interests Of the public by again
dealing directly or indirectly, now or
hereafter, with this association, whi ch
by causing breach of contract and
by it's manner of calling the strike had
shown itself to be irresponsible.
"The thing which Mr. Mahon fails
to appreciate is that the position of the
court and the receiver in this matter
was not induced or provoked by the
personality Of the representatives of
the Amalgamated Association and that
therefore such position cannot be af-
fected by changing the personnel of
such representatives.
at was the action Of the Amalga-
mated Association itself in calling and
indorsing this indefensible strike
which was the important and deter
mining factor, and the Incorporate and
unwise utterances of its spokesmen
were unimportant and negligible.
THE determination reached by the
court and the receiver was without q
trace of personal feeling or Of bitter
ness, but after calm and deliberate
consdc ration, and is unalterable."

U. S. Report Supporting
8-Hour Day Is Attacked
National Industrial Conference
Board Says Conclusions
Are Unwarranted

In an advance summary of special
report to be issued by the National In
dustrial Conference Board, of 10 East
Thirty-ninth Street, strong criticism is
directed at the conclusions reached in
United States Public Health Bulletin
No. 106, recently issued as an official
public document under the auspices of
the Treasury Department, which finds
that the eight-hour workday produces
q more efficient system than the ten
hour day.
The Industrial Conference Board de-
clares that these conclusions are "ris~
leading, unwarranted and unscientitic" i"
The boards report makes it clear that
it has no predictions for or against
workday of any specific length, but
that it looks upon the distribution of
Bulletin No. Jog, carrying the weight
of governmental sanction, with grave
concern.
The public document in question
is principally devoted to a comparison
Of an "EightHour Plant" and a "Ten-
Hour Plant" and reaches the conclu-
sion that the former plant is the more
efficient because it maintains steady
production of output and lost time
is reduced to minimum, while in the
"Ten-Hour Plant" artificial limitation
of output is widely prevalent and the
greater chance for accidents tends to
decrease production.
The Industrial Conference Board de-
clares kAat these conclusions are mis-
leading and unjustified because the
two plants f,om which data were OBJ
tanned are mot fairly comparable" and
the basis of experience is too small
to Justify comprehensive conclusions
applicable to industry in general"
AS matter of comparison the gov
ernment took an established manufac-
tory Of automobiles running on an
eight-hour schedule and a munitions
plant working under the ten-hour sys-
tenn.

Insurgent Rail
Strikers Plan to
Sue Brotherhood
Action Threatened to Re
cover Dues That Some
Have Been Paying Into
Treasury for Thirty Years

The United Association OF, Railway
Employees Of North America, made up
of men dropped by the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen for their so-called
insurgent strike, are threatening an at
tack on the brotherhood treasury. Of
ficers Of the new organization said yes
terday that individual members are
about to file suits TO recover dueo and
insurance money that some of them
have been paying into the brotherhood
treasury for thirty years at the rate Of
SO every month. If they win these suits
there may be general attempt by the
United Association to recover the dues
of all members.
Officers of the United Association
estimate that 10000 former brother
hood members are now on strike, or on
a vacation" and that their accumu-
lated brotherhood dues amount to
millions of dollars.
One suit may be filed this week
on the ground that the brotherhood's $
proceedings opposed its own consti-
tuition, that the brotherhood violated
its own laws by expelling members on
strike, and that these members are en-
titled to all money paid in as dues.
Fully $500 former railway employees
arc now taking vacation" by working
at variety of jobs in and around New
York, according to James NJ. Mack, Jer-
sey City business agent. He said a
large proportion of these are doing
house wrecking. Four hundred are en-
ployed in tearing down the Manhattan
Hotel, he said.
eve are striking for only one thing"
Mack said. 1--WE want the railroads to
take us back on the old seniority basis.
That means that men will be advanced
according to their length Of service.
The fact that the bulk of the strik-
ers are young men shows only that
they are out in behalf of their elders"
Mack insisted there had been no vio-
lence in connection with the strike in
Jersey City.
This is not an outlaw strike," he
said. "At all meetings it is our Gus
tom to salute the flag and sing the ma
tional anthem, and we are not even
picketing. The men can't picket, be-
cause they are all employed Many
have jobs paying better than their old
jobs. But they want to get back into
railroad work, because they like it bet
ter than anything else"
Captain John Beggins of the Seventh
Street police station, in Jersey City,
said yesterday that rumors of violence
in the Erie Railroad yards had come to
nothing on Sunday night. Ten men,
bers of freight crews quit work, fearing
trouble with the strikers.

Garrison Implies B. R. 4.
Won't Treat With MQhOxp

Taking the position that the Anal
gamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees is direct
ly responsible for the trouble on the
B. R. T, Receiver Lindley NJ. Garrison
yesterday issued statement in
which he made it plain that the nego-
tiors William D. Mahon, president of
the association, seeks to initiate
through the mediation Of Mayor iiy-
len and others will not be favorabiy
received by himself and Federal Judge
Mayer.
Mr.. Mahon arrived in New York Sun
day morning to assume personal di-
rect;on of the strike. He issued a
conciliatory statement in which he
repudiated the acts and utterances of
those who previously had conducted
the affairs of the strikers and an
rourccd his intention to reopen nego-
tiations.
Mr. Mahon said last night he had
been unable to reach MAJOR Hylan,
whom he expects to act as hi1 medlary,
ing.
The statement Of MIR. GarrisoA
says:
Il have read Mr. Mahon's temperate
statement. He is in error in assuming
that there is any bitterness on the part
Of Judge Mayer or myself. We realize
that the vast majority of the men were
misled and have freely offered to rein
state them in their former positions.

tion.' Mr.. Mahon says. was not with

does the actions OF these in control Of

that the present situation is what he

Hard Coal Miners
By Thousands Vote
To Return To-day
Await Action of President
on Plea to Reopen Wage
Awards; Insurgents Meet
to Decide ON Policy
Special Dispatch to The Tribune


WILKES BARRE, Pa, Sept. 6.-Not
waiting for President Wilson to take
action on the proposal Of district Of
ficers that he reopen the anthracite
negotiations, nearly score of union
locals voted to-day to return to work
tomorrow. The sentiment of the
miners was expressed as follows:
eve are not fairly treated. but we
will accept as we promised. We hope
our vacation has served its purpose
and President Wilson will realize we
cannot live decently on the pay that
We will get through the new award
We will stand by our union"
The voting of the locals to return
means that several thousand men will
be back on their jobs Tomorrow This
means a'break in the ranks Of the in
surgcnts, but does not settle the strike
Ihe immediate settlement in all sec
tlons depends on the action of Presi-
dent wilson
Although thousands will return, the
great majority is awaiting the result
of the meeting of insurgents in this
city Tomorrow
At the meeting delegates from all
locals between Forest City and Shick-
shinny will decide whether the present
poilcy, OF the insurgents is to be con-
tinucd.
AS many men prepare for work there
is one obstacle in the path of the peace
missionaries. This is the strike Of 10,-
600 men of the Pennsylvania Coal Com
pany against the so-called contractor
system which has been in effect two
months. 1t is feared the PENNSYLVANIA
men will refuse to 20 back until the
syetera is abolished. Thousands Of
others may remain out in sympathy.
One of the demands made upon the
operators was for the elimination of
the contractor system, by which GER
tain individuals are alleged to be en-
abled to obtain choice sections of a
mine. The workers charge that these
contractors make fortunes and by their
working plan deprive other miners Of
the opportunity to make more money.

terborough took over the delayed work
at actual cost.
Referring to the present status Of
construction work on the new system,
the report says:
part of the Eastern Parkway line
was opened on August %. When fin
ished it will extend from the terminus
of the old subway at Atlantic Avenue,
Brooklyn, to New Lots Road. The
Nostrand Avenue branch, extending to
Flatbush Avenue in Flatlands, also was
opened August 23. On both lines two
tracks are being operated at the start.
The balance of the Eastern Parkway
line from Utica Avenue eastward will
be placed in commission as early as
possible. 1t is expected that the Lii
vonia Avenue extension from Buffalo
to New Lots Avenue will be opened in
October.
ain the Bronx work is well advanced
en- the Webster Avenue line. which
connects with the Third Avenue line
north of Fordham Road and, running
northerly through Webster Avenue and
Gun Hill to White Plains Road, con-
meets with the elevated structure of the
East Side subway in White Plains
Road. 1t is expected that operation on
this line will begin in September. With
the opening of the above extensions all
the lines authorized under Contract
No. with the city and the related GER
tifcates will be in operation except the
extension of the greensboro subway
westward from Grand Central Terminal
to Times Square"
The Interborough points with pride
to the safety record of the system,
which, the report declares, remains
the highest in the world, the subway
having carried more than four billion
passengers since it opened, October 27,
1904, with loss ratio of passengers on
trains Of less than two passengers to a
billion carried.

TRApPERs GET $50 BEAVERS.
Ten Men Make $4,000 In Month In
Maine Wilds.

lewiston Me, Feb. 26.-During jan
uary ten Franklin county trappers earned
$4,000 from trapping beaver alone. The
ten took $50 of these animals, the average
value of which was $40 per pelt Al Wing
of Flagstaff was the luckiest, getting
thirty-hve, which gave him 81 300 for his
months work Leslie Sylvester Of Dead
River got twenty-one, worth $40, while
Ralph Wing, also a Flagstaff man, got
eighteen, giving him S720. The smallest
catch was made by G. H. Henderson OF
Dead River. who took only eight, but
those netted him $500
In addition To the beaver all these men
got some mliskrats worth SO pclt, also
mink, fox and other fur bearing animals.
Under the Maine law il is illegal to trap
beaver. The law, however, authorizes
the Commissioner Of Fish and Game To
declare an open time when, in his judgment,
il is expedlent. The habit Of the beaver
of building dams, thereby flooding CON
siderable territory, frequently makes II
necessary to reduce their numbers. They
also destroy a vast amount OF timber.
They do not stop work when enough
