Of reasonable doubt made by Martin
W. Littleton, mis- counsel. In his de-
eision. Justice Blur said:
, upon review of the proceedings
at the trial, and an examination OF the
points OF law permitted by the learned
counsel for the defendant, / entertain
no doubt concerning the correctness
OF the ruling OF the learned Judge
which would warrant the issuance OF
the certificate prayed for.
II do not think that the variance
between the charge in the indictment
and the proof in respect of the name
OF the corporation which owns the
premises in relation to which the ex-
tortion is charged to have been prac-
tised IS material In any event, the
objection not having been taken until
after convictions II is not available to
the defendant as the basis OF the claim
that he was thereby prejudiced In the
trial.
II believe the evidence of similar
transactions, of which the defendant
complains, was relevant and competent
both on the questions of motive and
intent. and as tending to prove a
general scheme or design. The other
rulings complained of, while of minor
importance, have not escaped my atten-
tion. but I am not convinced that any
error was committed by the learned
trial Judge in respect thereof"

CHICAGO GARMENT
WORKERS FIGHT CUT
They and Manufacturers Sub
nit % Per Cent. Reduction
Plan to Arbitration.

Special Despatch 70 THE NEW York HERALD.
CHICAGO, March 29.-Forty thousand
Chicago garment workers, represented
by Sidney Hillman, national president OF
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers OF
America, indicated to-day that IL cloth
ing manufacturers would guarantee TO
them fifty-two weeks of work year
they would consider the fiat 25 per cent.
wage reduction proposed by organized
manufacturers on Monday last. They
inject the possibilities Of a strike into
the situation. however, by fatty refus-
ing to entertain any proposal for cut
IL this guarantee Is not given them.
The manufacturers and workers pre-
sented their case to a. board OF arbitra-
ton, provided for in the agreement or
1919. A decision is expected within two
weeks. The workers came out emphat-
ically against any reduction. They IN
troduced a chart to show that whereas
wages had increased only 20 per cent
since 1917 the cost OF living had IN
creased 225 per cent.
Wages for week workers in the Chi
cago district, allowing for the regulation
period of unemployment which ATTENDS
the clothing business, have averaged from
s24 to $33 for men and SIC to S22 FOR
women. Wages for piece workers have
varied from S35 to $3s for men 70 30
to $2S.20 for women.

20 aIlege cause OF action against all the
members OF the defendant association
and is defective In that respect. I have
confined myself in the foregoing discus
sion exclusively TO the question of plead
ing. but I may say that the papers sub
mItted on the coincident motion for a
temporary Injunction are not merely for
NAL but concern the ultimate merit of
the controversy.
"In view of the manner in which the
complaint is framed and In which the
accompanying motion for a temporary
injunction is argued II is not feasible,
even Il il were desired, to consider the
papers as seeking relief solely against
some OF the defendants as individuals.
Much, II not most. of the allegations OF
the complaint and of the moving AFFIDAVIT
would have to be eliminated. since they
do not bear upon the individual liability
OF the defendant, and new considerations
suggest themselves which are not COW
cred by the papers"

CLOTHING WORKERS
WIN COURT DECISION
Justice Blur Grants Motion
to Dismiss Suit.

Because OF flaws in the complaint
whereby j. Friedman g. Co.. in behalf
of the Clothing Manufacturers Associa-
tion of New York. sought the dissolu-
tion of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America because OF its
"soviet" tendencies, Supreme Court JUS
tice Nathan Blur yesterday granted a
! motion to dismiss the action. His de-
cision dismissed also the application for
an injunction to restrain the Amalga-
mated members from picketing the five
Friedman factories. and the concern 3
action for $4,000 damages.
The decision was a virtual victory
for the Amalgamated without going
through a long trial, although Justice
Blur granted the plaintiff permission
to make another pIeading If it so de-
sires within twenty days. The Anal
gamated workers, who number 60,00o
in the New York district, have been on
strike for four months against the open
shop policy adopted by the New York
manufacturers.
The papers in the Friedman action
were filed January 20. The complaint
quoted a series of overt acts which
1t maintained supported the contention
of the plaintiff that the Amalgamated
was dissemination of communistic doc
trines 1t alleged that the Amalgamated
presents not merely menace and a
danger to the plaintiffs business and
to the whole clothing industry in the
United States. but is a potential danger
to all other industries and to not only
the present industrial but also the so
cial structure of our country as at
present constituted
. On February the plaintiff moved
for an injunction restraining picleeting
or congregating about its factories. a
day after the Amalgamated submitted
TO the court series Of affidavits from
prominent economists praising the bene-
fits the Amalsamated has brought
about for employees in the clothing
industry and ridiculing the charge of

this took UP fourteen pages of techni-
cal legal points. which he summarized

Special Despatch ~ THE NEW YoRK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Albany, March 20.
Gov Miller listened without COM
ment for three hours to-day in the
executive chamber to advocates and
opponents Of the transit bill designed
10 settle New York's transit problem.
This was the final hearing on the sub
ject. The Governor is expected to put
his signature on the document, making
il a law, without delay.
New~York already is coming around
10 approving the Governors pro-
gramme, George McAneny, formerly
President of the Board of Aldermen,
told the Governor. He made the lead
ing argument for the bill. The oppo-
sition came from the New York city
officials with John p. OBrien, Corpora
ton Counsel, as chief spokesman, and
was based almost completely on the
old home rule protest.
After the hearing Mr.. McAneny and
William A. Prendergast were called
into conference with the Governor.
This gave rise to a report which was
heard last week that either Mr.. Nc
Aneny or Mr.. Prendergast was being
considered for position in the new
commission.
"The cry raised by some who are high
in Office that this bill is merely
scheme to enrich the railroad owners is
false and criminal" Mr.. McAneny said.
THE railroads get nothing more than
they have to-day. Whatever fare is
charged let it be fixed honestly to carry
operating expenses, keep up the railroad
system and carry. the bonds. The pub
lic now is paying more than a five cent
fare but il is concealed in rent and taxes
through the false administration OF the
transit system.
Headed Toward Bankruptcy.
Under the existing system OF single
fares the transit lines are headed to-
ward bankruptcy. The situation is ap-
palling. The railroads are depreciating.
the plants becoming dilapidated. New
en- town IL does not have to accept such
dingy. dismal service which is an i'm
position on the public.
This outcry OF the eisht-cent fare
is fancy OF someone's designed to
deceive the public. As soon as your
plan is understood its merits known
and the results It makes possible are
accomplished New York will be all for
the bill"

McAneny showed how the old single fare
