Unions Treasury Has But Two Millions Stone Says That Reduction Of Freight Charges Would Not Alter Conditions

Chicago, Oct. 171The railroad hrotherhoods have a strike fund of $2,O00,0 900, which is insufficient for a general strike of any length, John Grunau, president of the United as- ,ociation of Railway Employees of North America. and leader a the un- authorized switchmens strike of last year, declared today.
 Thinks Strike Talk Bluff.
 Grunau has issued a circularsto the 60,0O0 mem bers of his organization outlining the association's position in event of strike, but declaring that he does not believe there twill be a walkout. He pointed out that the hrotherhood leaders have weakened their own ranks by circulating re- ports that the members of his organ ization will step in as strikebreakers ein revenge for the efforts of the old. Lorganizatinn 10. 1hneal1p s4aIe s4eYtI79 = str1ke in April, 1920. Grunau denied ann such intention.

''Why2 Because when . oiA 9ttAhS III IS4U TOT l65 days thes recognized brotherhood leaders established strikebreaki king and scab herding agencies in all terminals arected by our movemenS, causing our defeat.'
 f CleVeiand, O., Oct. 1.-The pro- posal of the public group of the rail- road labor board to reduce freight rates to prevent a railroad strike would not prove feasible, Warren s. stone, grand chief of the brotherhood or railroad engineers declared today. The suggestion cannot be worked out, Mr., Stone said. By the time the reduction got. to the consumer it would not amount to one-haIf of one per cent. The middle man would ab- sorb all of the difference w. 6. Lee, president of the brother hood of railroad trainrnen would make no direct statement on the plan. Reduction Not Passed on. Our understanding and believe that of the public, also, was that the 12 per cent wage reduction of last July woulI be passed on to the pub- lic," MT. Lee said.
 Canadian railroads will not be af- fected by the strike on lines in the United States according to Mr. Lee. Only last week he said the wage dis pute on the Canadian roads had been amicably settled.
 Neither will the Southern Pacific lines in Mexico be affected, MT. Lee said.

 Damn such faking, I've been ex- pecting it all a1ong.''
 T was also told" Simmons added. that MT. Grim and Chairman Camp bell had said it was cheap theatricals intended to create sympathy Chairman Campbell broke in with a bang on the table
 Campbell Gets Verdict.
 If all the rest of your statement is as false as your statement about me, it is utterly without foundation. The conversation you mention did not occur. made no such statement
 Demand was made for the name of a newspaper correspondent alleged to have said that members of the com mittee looked uponAthe wizards col lapse as a fake.

 "I heard comment in this room that MT. Simmons collapse was stage play Anybody could see the witness was ill.,, said MT. Pou.
 Plays .'The World.'
 Tn beginning his statement today, Simmons launched into an attack against the New York World, declar- ing that newspaper in publishing an alleged expose of the Hu Klux Klan had never presented any evidence to support it's charge that 1awless acts had been committed by Klansmen. . Seeking great circulation gains by a rival, the wizard said, the Hearst papers reached for part of it.. em- pIoying "a former Klansman who had been discharged by Edward Young Clark head of the Klan, publicity bureau.
 Everybody grinned when the wizard declared the World was preparing t have one of it's representatives tarret and feathered in an effort to make i appear the crime was the work o the Ku KIux Klan, se

Manufacturers Active.


 Hartford, Oct 17.-The followine Connecticut in light of threatened Kent Hubbard, president of the man ufacturers' association of Connection this noon:
 It is difficult to believe. that either the leaders aorlsthe members of the railroad labor Organizations seriously expect that they can by purely mega tive measures entirely escape from adjustment of their earnings in pro. portion to those of other employ. ments. or that the railroads can con tinue to employ them if their ex penses are not made commensurat, with their receipts. Even more in credible is their apparent belief tha by attempting to interrupt or pre-. vent operation of the railroads the. can force the American people tt subscribe to conditions that the, know to be impossible.
 Meeting This. Week.
 ''The traffic committee of the Man ufacturers' association of Connection has already been asked to meet thi week to consider in consultation witl representatives of railroad manage ments, ways and means of providin, emergency transportation for Con necticut industries. This committe will undoubtedly be able to formu late a practical program for meetin, the situation that is threatened. Al the resources of the Manufacturers association will be made availa bl for carrying out such measures a may be determined upon.
 But Little Business.
 Present conditions of business fur nish very little incentive to the aver age manufacturer to operate his plant They feel, however, any obligation t. operate as much as their orders vii permit in order that as many o their employees as possible may con tinue to enjoy weekly earnings. Tn industrial workers of Connecticut vii suffer through lack of employmen and earnings to exactly the same ex tent as the threatened railroad strik interferes with the running of fac tories \in this state. They may b sure that the manufacturers will spar no effort to continue to operate, rail road strike or no railroad strike am may be guided in their own action accordingly
