Mother, Absent I8 Years,
Finds Her Son i'm Jail
Boy, Adopted in Childhood,
Sent TO Reformatory for
Theft i'm BROOKLYN

Mrs. Lillian M. Robinson, wife of q
rich Englishman, who arrived from
London recently in search OF son by
former marriage, whom she relin-
quished for adoption in Brooklyn
eighteen years ago, found him yester-
day an inmate of the State Reforma-
tory in Elmira.
When Mrs. Robinson, whose home is
at DOLLS Road, Church End, Finch
ley, london, fell heir to considerable
fortune short time ago, she decided
to come to the United States and find
the son whom she had given up when
she was unable to support the three
children by her marriage to the late
john Henry Harris, of Brooklyn.
Clifford Harris, the four-year- old
son, was adopted by Mr and Mrs. Au-
gust Schaller, of $50 Wilson Avenue,
81 iooklyn. He was raised to manhood
by the Schaller family, while his
mother went to England with her other
two children.
Clifford proved to be a model son until
he was twenty, when he is said to have
fallen in with bad company. Last Jan
uary he confessed to the theft of jew
elry from close friends of the Scnaller
family and was sent to Elmira by Judge
William r. Bayes.
Mrs. Robinson has been urged to ap-
peal to Governor Miller to have her
son paroled in her custody. If this
plea is denied, Mrs. Robinson will have
to wat another year before she can
take Clifford back to England.

George w. Cummings, vice-president

told of twenty-four instances of bor-

company. taking property as part of
these loans. He admitted that the bor-
rowers were not anxious to take the
property, but that it had become the
custom for lenders to make such ex-
actions. There was no question, he
said, that the borrowers would rather
have had the money without the prop
critics.
Taurus E. Sutton, comptroller of the
Brooklyn Savings Bank, referred to
nine instances where borrowers from
his bank took securities in whole pay

where they took property. Mr.. Sutton

were in no instance constrained to take
either securities or property as part
of the loans. He could not say, how
ever, if the borrowers would have OBJ

tions.

Metal Trades Urged to
Join to Resist Pay Cut

DENVER, June S.-~Joint action by
all the metal working trades unions
in the country to resist further reduc-
tions in wages and increases in the
hours of labor was urged to-day by
James O'Connell, president Of the
Metal Trades Department of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, in his an
nual address to the departments con-
vention.
Building trades workers also were
warned that further wage cuts were
not justified by William Spencer, sec
retary of the Building Trades Depart
ment, in his address before the de-
partment's convention. He placed the
responsibility for excessive building
costs upon the building materials deal
ers Of the country and not on labor.
President O'Connell of the Metal
Trades asserted that the proposed
plan for united action in the metal
trades did not involve the zone big
union" idea, but its purpose was to
secure a closer and more direct CO.
operation between affiliated organiza-
tions. This also would enable the
metal trades, he said, to act as unit
in opposing employers attempts to
abolish collective bargaining, the non
union shop and compulsory signing of
individual contracts.
