AMALGAMATED BEHIND
NEW TEXTILE UNION
Convention on Saturday Ex-
pected to Establish Status.

The Federated Textile Unions of Amer
lea, an amalgamation Of ten independent
textile unions having a membership OF
1900 which is in the course OF or
ganization, will be the principal topic OF
discussion Saturday when the annual
convention of the Amalgamated Textile
Workers of America opens in the Labor
Temple. The amalgamated has been one
of the prime movers in bringing about
the amalganation of the independents
and its members will vote on the consti-
tuition and bylaws OF the new organiza-
tion at the convention.
Russell Palmer, acting secretary OF
the amalgamated, said yesterday reports

on Industrial unionism and seeks tc

IL the organization Is carried out as

Federated Textile Unions will have n
membership more than double that OF

U. S. BOARD FREES
RANDALLO BLAME
Finds No Evidence of Neglect
by Ship Captain in Sink
ing DOry Case.

A special board or the United States
Steamboat Inspection Service dismissed
the charge yesterday against Capt.
Albert r. Randall, commander of the
steamship Hudson of the United States
Lines, who was suspended from his
command week ago after 1t was re-
ported that he had refused assistance
to three men adrift in a dory off Sandy
Hook
! The boards exoneration makes secure
to Capt. Randall his possession of his
masters license. but he will not be re-
instated to the command Of his ship
until after the United States Shipping
Board has held an inquiry and has
heard all the witnesses who testified at
| yesterdays hearing. AS the Hudson Is
scheduled to leave this port tomorrow
for Bremen and Danzig it is expected
that .he Shipping Boards inquiry will
be held to-day.
Capt. r. A. Sargent, one Of the menu
bers of the board which held yesterdays
hearing, made this statement at its con-
clusion:
This board has dismissed the charges
against Capt. Randall because it has
found he was not in fault. We have
had as witnesses the men who were
adrfft In the dory and all other persons
with first hand knowledge of the ca se
We find that when the dory was sighted
it was equldistant from the Hudson and
the Lackawanna Valley, another vessel
and that the course of the Lackawanna
Valley lay toward 1t and that neither
Capt Randall nor any officers Of either
ship had any reason to believe that the
motorboat was in sinking condition or
that the men aboard her were asking
assistance from either vessel. No evi-
dence Of inattentfon or neglect on Capt
Randalls part was brought before us.
while this board has no jurisdiction
over the conduct OF the radio operator
aboard the Hudson, It has been found
that the messages sent out by him were
without Capt. Randalls knowledge or
consent"
The hearing was not public. 1t was
stated that various witnesses explained
Capt. Randall ordered that a wireless
message be sent to the Lackawanna
Valley. which seemed to be bearing
down on the dory. informing the ship
that man aboard the dory had been
waving a towel and asking the Lacka-
wanna Valley to investigate. The dory
was not flying a distress signal. The
operator sent the massage, the Lacka-
wanna Valley did not answer 1t. and
then the operator. without waiting for
further orders, got into communication
with a naval station ashore and stated
that the dory was sinking. but that the
Hudson could not stop, as she was carry
ing mails.
A number of witnesses testified that
the large number of bootleggers en-
countercd near big ports in these days
has made ship captains accustomed to
meeting small craft at considerable dis
tances from shore, and that launches,
such as the Hudson sighted, not under
way and apparently drifting, are en-
countered frequently.
Capt Randall held the rank OF IAeu-
tenant Commander during the war. and
was on board the President Lincoln
when she was torpedoed. He was COM
mended twice for bravery by Secretary
of the Navy Daniels in 1913.

DRY CHIEF TO START
WAR ON HOME BREW
Raids on Shops Selling Malt,
Hops and Other Ingredients
Made in Washington.

A direct attack upon home brewers is
foreshadowed in statement issued from
the Office Of Roy A. Haynes. Federal Pro-
hibltion Commissioner, in Washington
yesterday, in which it was announced
that prohibition agents throughout the
country will be directed to use every ef-
fort to check the sale Of ingredients and
apparatus used in the manufacture of In.
toxicating liquor. So far the shops in
which malt and hops and various utensils
required in brewing and distilsng were
display have gone unmolested. The state
ment explained, however, that a prece-
dent had been established for the raids
on such dealers in Washington Wednes-
day night and yesterday, in which sew
eral concerns handling malt. hops, fruit
sugars and bottling devices were visited
Attention also will be given, it was
said. to the advertising Of these articles
In newspapers. Such advertising, 1t is
claimed, Is prohibited under the volstead
act
Another drastic step toward rigid en-
forcement Of the Volstead act. It is un-
derstood at prohibition headquarters,
may soon be announced from Washing
ton. in the form OF ruling that all al
cohol in the distilleries must be medi-
cated-made unfit for beverage purposes
before 1t can be released to wholesale
dealers.
This ruling would destroy at the source
the opportunities now open to bootleggers
who are able to secure unmedicated al
cohol for Illegal uses.
United States Marshal Power of
Brooklyn announced yesterday that at
noon next Wednesday he will sell at
public auction 2,067 bottles of whiskey.

liquor to be placed on sale. He also will
