NEW YORK, May 19.-The private

to business men:
II will say that if we are employed
before any union or organization is
formed by the employed, there will

TAMPA STRIKE SETTLED;
:CIGARMAKERS ARE HAPPY

CHICAGO, May 19.-The Cigar
Makers International union has. or
dered discontinuance of the 50-cent
weekly assessment that was collected
while the Tampa strike was on. More
than 100000 was expended by this
international in Tampa for the defense
of trade union principles. and the
unions treasury is stronger than ever,
despite this drain at time when
other unusual demands were made
upon it because of anti-union drives.
The incident proves the stability of
bona fide trade unionism and the will
ingness of real trade unionists to meet
financial obligations.

GOAL SET FOR
Y. NJ. "A. DRIVE
IS $4,000
Action Taken by Board of
Directors Last
Night
TOTAL COST 100000
Plan Active Drive For Funds Early
Next Spring-State Secretary Lee
In Charge of Campaign.

The board Of directors of the Young
Mems Christian Association at their
meeting at the Chamber of Commerce
last evening decided to raise their OBJ
jective to $4,000. This vas advised
by State Secretary Lee after a care
full survey of the field and consulta-
tion with number of those interest
ed in the work. The increase in the
amount was unanimously adopted by
the splendid representation of the
board present:
Preparations for the campaign will
begin at once but the active drive will
be some time early in the spring of
1922. Those attending the board
meeting heartily approved the in
crease in the objective and the &C
ton by the board was unanimous,
Several talks made by the different
members of the board expressed the
sentiment that they were in favor of
a building and equipment thoroughly
worth while and worthy OF the city
of Alexandria.
Details of the building and build
ing site will be worked out by COM
mittee of the city's best spirited men
and men who will be thoroughly un-
selfish in their desire to serve the
city in permanent way. 1t is
thought that the property entirely
will probably cost close to 100000
as it was the sense of the board that
the city would doubtless demand such
an equipment for the community s
needs
Mr. Lee, the state secretary, will
be in active charge of the campaign
and promised the board last night
unlimited time and attention. The
local secretary will carry on the usual
program of activities of the associa-
tion and the campaign will in no way
interfere with this. Indeed it is
announced that many additions are to
be made to the already extensive pro-
gram which includes community work
Of very comprehensive nature.

CROWDED SCHOOLS
Arlington County Commerce Body
Seeks S5OO.OOO Bond Issue

Clarendon, Va, Nov. 23.-The
crowded condition of the schools of

pupils for each teacher if all were

1900 children years and under for
which provisions must be made in
the next few years.
The school bureau of the chamber
of commerce is advocating a $780,
900 bond issue for new schools and
additions which would include a IA
room school conveniently located for
Clarendon, Ballston and Cherrydale;
q new school at Aurora Heights,
and the following additions: Four
rooms. at Clarendon, four at Balls
ton, three at East Falls Church, four
rooms and an auditorium at Fort

Serve for night duty from now till
April /. This would bring the force
up to twenty-four members. In
their communication to the city
council 1T was set forth that the
present number Of police officers on
active duty is insufficient to insure
the safety of its citizens, and that
a great deal of the city is practically
unguarded.
The commissioners also recon-
mended that new pistols be pur-
chased and delivered the police set

at the present time are antiquated,
and that some Of them are very

100000 Shop Workers To
Demand Raise Over
1920 Scale
COUNTER OFFENSIVE
Is Thought This Move Is Intended to
Forestall Any Proposed Reduc-
tion

New York, Nov. 24.-Officials
of approximately 100000 organized
and actively empolyed shop workers
have notified the managers of prac-
tically all the railroads in the coun-
try Of their intention to ask for an
increase in wages amounting to 5
cents an hour over the levels pre-
vailing under the decision Of the
United States Railroad Labor Board
handed down July 20, 1920.
The nat;re Of the notification
came in the form of letter, which
stated that upon the expiration of
80 days notice the roads were re-
quested to enter conferences with
duly authorized representatives of
the shop crafts and discuss with
them the question of wage in
crease
This coming in the face of notices
sent out by the managers of all lines
announcing conferences on the mat
ter of wage reduction, was taken
in local operating circles to mean a
concerted drive on the part of the
shop workers to secure through
their counter-offensive a bargain
which would leave them with their
pay unchanged.
Railroad officials greeted the an
nouncement of the drive for an in
crease in wages with satisfaction.
The principal reason for the Opti-
mism shown by executives was said
to be the knowledge that the surp-
lus workers in all industries would
tend to defeat the action of the shop
crafts.
The simple resusEt fer i,' confer
ence on December 20, sent out Sat
urday, was followed by another no.
tice yesterday, which stated that II
conference was granted the shop
crafts would ask for 5 cents an
hour above the rates established by
the United States Railroad Labor
Board in its decision of July ~.
1920.
Statistics available here today in
dicated that the scale OF pay Tor
five of the six federated shop crafts
prior to the decision referred to, was
70 cents an hour. This was in
creased by that ruling to 80 cents
an hour for machinists, boilermak--
ers. blacksmiths, electricians and
sheet metal workers, and reduced to
n cents by the decision of last July.
What the men are prepared to de-
mand is an hourly rate of pay for
90 cents.
The only exception to these figures
was in the case of car repair work.
ers, who, prior to the tirst M increase,
received 67 cents an hour. Ihelr pay
was raised to so cents and tnen cut
to ~ cents. The new demands
will call for a rate of 80 cents an
hour
