Roscoe Arbuckle And Family Leave
 For Los Angeles

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29-Dis- trict Attorney Matthew Brady today called a conference of his staff lead- CTS to plan details for the prosecution with the least possible delay of Ros- COG (Fatty) Arbuckle, on a charge of manslaughter in connection with the death of Miss Virginia Rappe. It is the contention of the prosecution that Miss Rappe received fatal injury from Arbuckle at a party staged in the comedians suite at the Hotel St. Francis here, Sept. 5.
 Brady called to the conference this three assistants in the case, Milton U'Ren, Isadore Golden and Joseph O'Connor, and it was announced that the earliest date open on the supe- rior court calendar is Oct. 3, but that formalities might delay opening the case until later than that time.
 Police Judge Sylvain J. Lazarus, who yesterday reduced the charge against Arbuckle to one of man. slaughter, today answered a state ment made last night by the district attorney scoring the judges action. Judge Lazarus called Brady's charge silly and said he had received com mendation on his stand from many persons interested in the case.
 Arbuckle, accompanied by his wife, her mother and his attorneys, left San Francisco at 8 o'clock tonight.

DAYTON, Ohio. Sept. 29.-Lieu- tenant J. A. MacReady, holder of the worlds flying height crown, formerly held by Major R. J. Schroeder. was ready for another flight today If called on to make it.
 Unlike Major Schroeder in his record flight. in which he fell six miles, lieutenant MacReady did not suffer any ill effects in his 40,s00 feet trip Wednesday.
 Inventions of new appliances for battling the air should get the credit MacReady said today.
 "When I started. had no intention of trying for a record. When l reached 30,0o0 feet my plane-a Le Pere-was working so perfectly in atmospheric conditions so gocd I de- cided to go a little higher.
 Even then had no thought of record.
 my oxygen supply froze. saved my self by breaking a bottle of oxygen over my helmet and speeding up my motor starting my regular supply.
 "The wind velosity at 10000 feet is terrific. On my spirals, it would often pull me far out of my course.
 My descent was accomplished without incident"
 Additional data on the Schroeder anti-trade winds said to blow from east to west at 200 miles an hour was not discovered by Lieutenant Mac Ready.
 "The higher I went, the colder 1t got, and I did not notice a rise in temperature at SS,000 feet" he said

MANUFACTURERS OF
 18 STATES DEMAND
 IMMEDIATE TARIFF

CHICAGO, Sept 2s-A demand for immediate enactment of an adequate protective tariff bill was voiced to- night in resolutions adopted by more than 1000 manufacturers from over IS states who attended the national conference of state manufacturers associations.
 The remedy for unemployment is more work in our factories" the reso- lutions declared. which is not to be expected as long as a large proportion of our industries are paralyzed by the failure of congress to complete the tariff legislation.''
 The resolutions then declared:
 That in view of the depressed con- ditions of American industry, the ab- normally low cost of production abroad and the depreciation of cur rency of countries seeking to sell products in the United States, it is our solemn conviction that it is im- perative that there be no further de- lay in the enactment of an adequate protective tariff bill"
 The resolutions were adopted after an address by Congressman J. w Fordney of the house ways and means committee, who explained the American valuation provisions of the tariff bill. We are importing about $300. .000, 900 worth of foreign goods per month," he said. Most of these goods could be made here. There is not a manufactured article produced in the United States in which the labor cost is less than 90 per cent oi the total cost.
 Now, if that is true of the s300.- 000,000 that we are sending abroad each month, s250, ,000, 900 is going out from the people of the United States to employe German, French, English Japanese and Chinese labor, while our own workers walk the streets ir idleness."
 The American valuation provisions of the tariff bill were declared to be Fundamental necessity in the reso- lutions adopted. as a means of stan dardizing import values"
 Unless the American valuation plan is adopted there is little hope of the American manufacturer secur- ing adequate protection against for eign made goods" Congressman Fordney said.

 Involved in the program is a pro- posal that should any senator desire to debate the treaties the tax revi- sion bill would be laid aside tempo rarily. It is expected, however. that the tax measure actually will be be- fore the senate most of next week with the following week largely de- voted to the treaties.

 RAIL WAY UNIONS MAY NUT STRIKE REGARDLESS IF .COMM| TTEEVOTE
rRepubIIean A. P. Leased wIre1

CHICAGO. Sept. 29.-President W. G. Lee, of the Brotherhood of Rail- road Trainmen, tonight said that if the strike vote cast by 90 per cent of 1S6,000 members in the recent refer endum on the wage reduction should be supported by the grievance com mittee, tentative strike order would be issued, effective on when and if the other unions should strike.
 With this parting declaration President w. G. Lee dispatched 57 general chairmen of the unions to their homes tonight with written in- structions to call their grievance committees. get their approval or dis approval of the strike vote, and re- port here next week.
 Lee expects to act on the com mittee instructions before the brotherhoods of engineers, conductor switchmen's union of North America, have completed the count of their 259,0 strike ballots, which will start Monday. The strike call, however, he indicated, will provide for a walkout of the trainmen when and if the other unions strike.
 That the strike. even if ordered. will never actually take place. con- tinued to be the prevailing impress V promised to call the walkout if the committees so direct. he told his men in a letter September 12, he would be remiss in his duty if he failed to point out that wages and working conditions established since 1918 were the result of a world war: that government reports indicate 5000, 900 men out of work; that nearly all classes of labor have been forced to 10 r1o x~ increases granted them last year by the labor board was based on the increased cost of living: and that government reports show a reduction of more than 16 per cent in such liy- ing costs.
 The strike vote was taken on the question of accepting or rejecting the 12 per. cent wage cut made July by the labor board.
 Tabulation of the vote had not been completed tonight but the ballots ninety five per cent of the men voted to quit work rather than accept the reduction.
 Lees determination to announce his unions stand before the other broth erhoods complete their ballot count shifts responsibility for the next move in the threatened general strike to the four unions which took a joint vote Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Order of Railway Conduc- tors, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and the Switchmen's Union of North America.
 The affiliated shop crafts. by 6 vote of 325, ,000 to 4S.00O have already gone on record in favor of a strike but have postponed action pending the decision of the other unions and action of the labor board on rules and working conditions.
 As the situation stands tonight Il the engineers. conductors, firemen enginemen and switchmen walkoui them, but the first four will have tC assume responsibility for the move.

Republican A. R. Leased WIreJ


 WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Ground work for an emergency program to meet needs of the unemployed found to number between 3.700,000 and A. 000, 1000, exclusive of agriculture. was completed today by the national con ference on unemployment.
 Reports of most of the committees were completed and turned over to the steering committee which is to weld the recommendations into a whole for action by the conference tomorrow.
 Adoption of a final report by the committee on emergency measures by manufacturers was announced late today. The report, which is said to contain the core of the unemployment problem, because of the effect of the manufacturing industry upon eco- homie conditions generally, is under stood to recommend use of rotation Of labor, the shortened week, partial employment, completion of repair and clean up as some of the means of increasing employment. In addition the committee was said to favor an appeal to the patriotic cooperation of producers, manufacturers, whole salers and retailers in passing along as rapidly as possible any price changes.
 Recommendations of the construc- ton committee were understood to regard the construction problem largely as one for local action be- cause of the factors existing in vari- ous localities. Acceleration of public works was said to be urged by the committee on municipal measures.
 Discussion of the railway funding bill for providing financial relief for the railroads was said to have con- stunned much of the transportation committees deliberations in the light of the carriers ability.to employ more men. The committees on mining and shipping, it was learned, were inclined to believe no emergency measures could be suggested for those indus tries in view of their dependency on general business copdkions.
 The committee 6n statistics de- clared that the steady improvement during the last two months necessi- tated a revision of the estimates sub mitted to congress last month by the labor Apartment.
 To provide machinery for making effective the emergency measures adopted by the conference, the civic committee was said to advise ap- pointment of special committees by the mayors of all cities which would handle the local unemployment prob | lem.
