IN RAIL STRIKE

scheduled tod begin on Oct 80. The
signal men probably viii not make den-
mite ammo lncement Of their decision be-
fore Wednesday.
Roughly speaking, If a strike occurs,
5000 union men will walk out and
100000 will remain at work. Six
unions at least will join in the strike
while at least nine, and possible ten will
refuse to participate in any strike at this
time.
The signal men are the only important
railway labor organization that have NOT
declared their position In the controversy.
Officials Of this union have sent out bal
lots asking authority to act from the
membership and the returns from these
ballots will be known Wednesday, it was
announced. The union numbers about
1900 members, but because of the tech
pical nature of their work they are an
important cog in the strike plans.
As predicted In dispatches Saturday,
the International Brotherhood of Sta
tionary FiremeH and Oilers, and the
Brotherhood Of Railway and Steamship
Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and
Station Employees, voted to follow the
lead Of the six shop crafts unions and
the maintenance Of way employees by re-
fusing to Join in the strike at this time.
These two unions have a combined MEM
bership of more than S50, 900 men.
The belief was current In union circles
that the signal men would follow the
lead of the other unions afiliated with
the American Federation of Labor ana
refuse to join in the strike.
The unions that will go out on strike,
II a strike takes place, are the so-called
big five" comprising the Trainmen. Con-
ductors, Engineers, Firemen and Engine
men and the Switchmen.
The big five" will be Joined by the
Order Of Railway Telegraphers. The COM
bined membership Of these six organiza-
tons is approximately 475,000.
The unions that have already decided
not to strike are the six shop crafts or
CARNATIONS, including the Carmen, Elec-
trical Workers, Blacksmiths Sheet Metal
Workers, Machinists and Boilermakers,
the United Brotherhood of Maintenance
Of Way Employees and Shop Laborers,
and the Clerks and the Stationary Fire
men and oilers. These organizations
nave an approximate membership Of
1925, 900.
With the lineup of the unions definite
" known, the United States railway Ia
Dor board is making preparations for the
hearing on Wednesday TO which the lead
ers Of the big five" brotherhood and the
railway executives have been cited for
violation of the boards wage reduction
decision in calling a strike. The pre-
ponderance OF unions who have decided
not 10 strike over those who are pledged
to walkOut gave rise to a strong De
lief today that Wednesdays hearing
would result in negotiations that would
avert the strike.

MARSHALL SAYS MEN
FORGET BROTHERHOOD

CHICAGO Oct. 24-Both sides In the
rail strike controversies are for
getting the spirit Of brotherhood, Thomas
r Marshall, former Vice President OF the
United States declared in an address
here.
II know some men on each side Of this
strike question" said Marshall. They

DR.. Morgan said that-the investigation
discloseS that persons have been gather
ing up blOodsoaked cotton, old mat
tresses reeking with filth, some Of which
undoubtedly had been occupied by per-
sons suffering with typhoid fever, tuber-
culosis and other dangerous diseases and
other refuse from alleys and dumps and
selling them to INSCRIPTIONS mattress
manufacturers for cent per pound. Some
mattress makers have been filing new
covers with the old junk or merely put
ting a new cover upon the entire old
mattress and selling them to unwilling
retailers for transmission to the general
public. How many hundreds of such
mattresses are in the homes Of Indian
apoIis would be difficult to determine, Dr.
Morgan said. In every case such mat
tresses are unlabeled, he stated.
STATE ACTS GOVERN
MATTRESS MAKING.
The investigation was made and the
evidence is being turned over to the
prosecutor under acts of the 1918 and 1917
Legislature, DR.. Morgan said The 1913
act prohibited the sale of mattresses not
plainly labeled so as to show what kind
of material they were stuffed with and
provided a penalty for any person who
should sell, offer for sale, give away or
manufacture any mattress not manufac-
tured in accordance with the set. The
1917 act amends the 1913 act so as to
make it more specific and stronger. It
prohibits the manufacture or sale of any
mattresses, whether just made OF reno
waited in which material once used is
placed or the material known as "shoddy"
is used and makes it the duty of the State
board Of health to investigate any place
or person suspected Of violation of the
act. The health board is given power to
condemn any illegal materials or mat
tresses found. 1t also is made the duty
of city police or health officers to notify
the State board of health and the prose-
cutting attorney when an alleged violation
is discovered. For violations Of any sec
ton the 1917 act provides penalty Of from
$50 to 500 fine or from three to six
months Imprisonment or both.
About one hundred unlabeled mattresses
have been condemned In downtown stores,
Or. Morgan said. He urged all house
holders and hospital authorities which
are discarding mattresses to burn them
hereafter.

Stolen From Theater,
Soon Recovered.

White paint freshly applied to the win
dow frame at the North Star Theater,
2451 Central avenue, furnished the clew
that resulted in the recovery Of a re-
Tolver, S24079 cents and a 81 check sto-
len from that theater, and the arrest of
the alleged burglar early today. Leo
Vachet, %, s3e37 Orchard avenue, night
Waterman at the theater reported the
burglary at IL 80 o'clock last night.

lice found, by way of window and
marks in the fresh white paint resulted
in the police starting a search for the
man on whose clothing there was white
paint. Vachet was arrested on a vagrahcy
charge by motor police, and was ques-
TONED by detectives, who were soon con-
yfnced the night Waterman did not know
anything about the robbery. Then they
asked him about the young men who
loafed near the theater, as the police
were confident that the thief had knowl-
edge as to where the money was baden
Two of these were brought to police
headquarters, but each proved an alibi
