employment by Keeping
Forces at Work

The National Association of Credit
Men is sending message to it's $4,000
members asking them to aid in pre-
venting any increase in idleness BIZ
keeping employed all the men they can
and, wherever possible, increasing their
force Of workers
"This message is designed" ]. H.
Tregoe, executive secretary, saws, "es-
pecially to ask Of business enterprises
the retention of men, even though their
time may not be kept fully employed
and to carry them may mean net ex-
pense to the enterprise. We do not in
tend in this appeal to ask service
that would impair the profits of an en-
terprise to point of serious loss, but
by straining just little and keeping
men even at a sacrifice will reduce un-
employment and help us to solve some
of. our present problems"
The association also asks that ma
terial reductions be made in the cost
of home building. It finds that it cost
more in May of this year to build q
house than it did last December, al
though the prices Of almost everything
else have dropped. Housing costs must
decline, the association says, either
voluntarily or by forcible measures, as
lower prices for building materials
have been promised and must be OBJ
tained if building construction is to be
accelerated

u. s. Court Order
Bus Men Get Last-NEinuste
Reprieve Until August 10,
When Special Federal
Court Will Decide Issue

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, July 81
Wholesale arrests of jitneurs operating
in this state which were to take place,
beginning at midnight, under law re-
Gently passed, have been postpond if
not prevented by an injunction which
was issued yesterday by Judge Thomas
Of the United States District Court.
The injunction is temporary one,
returnable August 16, and until thai
date jitney buses will be unimpeded in
their movements, despite the attempt
to legislate them off the streets. At
torneys for bus owners took their case
to the Federal court on the ground that
their clients constitutional rights were
buing invaded.
"In bill of equity which has been
filed" said Judge Thomas tonight,
"the claim is made that the law denies
the petitioners certain rights guaran-
teed by the Constitution of the United
States and it will be upon such claim
that the hearing will be based"
When the case is heard at New
Haven IN august 16 it will be argued
before special court of the United
States sitting in this state for the
first time. Circuit Judge Wade Rogers,
VI NEW YIN, former u6an OF Yale
Law School, will be the presiding
Judge, and with him viii sit Judge
Thomas. Of the Connecticut Distric
Court, and another district judge not
yet selected, but probably from Yer
m ont. Judge Rogers is of the Eastern
District Court Of Appeals, and while
it is possible that one or the other
of his associates on the appellate
branch may sit, the probabilities are
that Judge Rogers will be present.
The injunction hearing is by far TIE
most Important step in the proceed
ings to date and is of statewide in
terest. Jitneymen who learned of the
move to-day expressed q great deal
Of satisfaction over the course that
had been opened. IL think it is very
Fortunate that VIC have been able to
take the case upon test to the United
States Court" said one man who has
been interested in the State Bus
Owners Association. II would not
think Of rejecting in the slightest
way upon any of the very fine and
able honest men who are judges of
the courts in Connecticut, but there
is natural satisfaction in having the
issue 60 into an entirely neutral court.
With the decision, whatever t-may
be, will come CT mplcte satisfaction to
both sides

Besieeed in Ohio Jail

BRIDGEPORT, Ohio, July SIC. P.
Billings, manager of the Wheeling
Traction Company, and his assistant,
Charles Marsh, left here early to-day
after crowd had dispersed which
gathered around the Jail in which they
were imprisoned last night on charge
of melting to riot. The two men had
been beaten last night by crowd, and,
after giving bail, had feared to leave
the Jail until the throng dispersed,
/. The attack on the men here FOL-

rest of score Of huss drivers at
Wheeling, W. Va, operating between
the Ohio and West Virginia river
points, by special oonstables on
charge of violating certain sections Of
the West Virginia state road law.
A controversy between traction Off
Gals and operators of the buss lines
seems to have come to head with the
arrest of the buss drivers throughout
the district. Crowds collected on the
car tracks Of the Wheeling Traction
Company at Martins Ferry. Ohio, and
ut Wheeling last night, blocking traffic
The mob at Wheeling was dispersed
only after riot squads OF the police
had been sent to the scene when regu-
lar police threatened to arrest the sDe-
cial constables fer blocking traffic The
constables had taken the buss drivers
in tow, leaving the machines on the
street Tracks were creased in the
vicinity of Martins Ferry and traffic
tied up there. At midnight the cars OF
the traction company were ordered
withdrawn from the Ohio side of the
river.
The appearance of Billings and
Marsh here has not been explained, and
it was with some difficulty thai their
bonds were obtained. The former YVES
held under $500 bond and the latter
under 500, according to the police at
Bridgeport. They departed in the direc-
tion of Wheeling in an automobile,

Negro Church Puts
Jack Johnson i'm
Pulpit; Charges ST
Special Sunday Attraction
Helps Reduce Mortgage.
but Makes Deacons Liable
for 1922 Amusement Tax

Jack johnson, the negro, who for
merly was heavyweight champion and
recently was released from the Fed
eral prison ct Fort Lexvenworth, lent
his aid yesterday to an attempt to pay
of $1,000 mortgage on the baptist
Tabernacle, q negro church on 125th
Street.
He. addressed the congregation and
friends of members who came to see
the champion their race had given to
the ring and two collections were taken
up toward the payment OF the mort
gage The sum obtained was not an
nounced. Admission was 81, which,
the deacons of the church were in
formed by representa- tive Of the IN
temal Revenue Bureau, made it neces-
sary for the church to pay a 10 per
cent amusement tax.
Johnson took advantage of the OPP
porunity to defend his marriage to q
white woman, which, according to one
Of the deacons of the church. had
aroused widespread resentment an ong
nemoes. The deacon said that Jack
could have married plenty of negroes.
The former champion announced his
conv ction that he was a square man
in ali his dealings and that such were
the kind who were counted among the
sheep when the final reckoning came.
If there was hell, he said, he wasn't
goin. there.
Tfn Rev Dr.. Twisby opened the
meeting by Yeaoing psalm. j. Frank
Wheton WAS master of ceremonies and
introduced the principal speaker AL
though the audience hang upon John
sons words and applauded him at
every opportunity, there was strong
sentiment among some of those pres
ent that johnson would have done bet
ter ii he had not brought up the sub
ject q his marriage.
With kindly feeling for the speaker
however, they explained that probably
the subject was the one which was
uppcmost in his mind whenever he
confmnted an audience Of his own peo-
pie and he felt the necessity of vindi-
eating himself.
"Ofcourse all our people resent the
fact Nat johnson married white
woman" the deacon who acted as
Spokesman said. There were plenty
OF women Of our own race for him to
marry.a

stone and Ohio lime, all reported this
week, but sonfe other materials are
headed upward.
The unvarnished fact is that there
is and will be building construction
available for both artisans and ma
terial men this autumn and winter.
Any possibility of wage reduction
that will bear heavily on costs is be-
ING discounted by contracts calling
for readiustment to the investor In
case wages are lowered or materials
drop further. There is plenty OF room
for speculation as to how long wages
will stay down in certain trades if
building should become any more ac-
tive than it has been.
There is satisfying volume Of bust
ness being taken right now in the
building business for firms who are
willing to 80 out and fight for it, Many
firms have been content to have bust
ness handed to them. They have never
before been forced to compete for
building contracts. but things have
changed, and it is noted frequently
that those who complain loudest of
slackness are those who are letting
business slip by them.

switch on which the Long Beach train
was standing. The Far Rockawav
train was exactly on its schedule and
was moving slowly.
The view of the motorman was part
~ obscured by trees, however. and be-
foge he caught sight of tie Long Beach
train moving on to the main line from
the switch he was so close to the switch
that collision was inevitable. Train
men and the towerman will be exam
aneo by officials of the Long Island

cover the cause Of tho accident
The blocking OF the main line made
y recasaary to switch Long Beach
trains around Valley Stream, a proceed

lay, which was intensified by the fact
that traffic was unusually heavy.
