Brindeli's Graf; Ring

Philip zausner, secretary of District
Council 8 of the United Brotherhood
of Painters, replied yesterday to the
statement of John Donlin, head OF the
building trades department of the
American Federation Of Labor, that the
Central Trades and Labor Council had
no authority to investigate Robert P.
Brindeli's Building Trades Council.
"The constitution OF the building
trades department" said Mr.. zausncr,
calls for biennial elections of repre-
sentatives to local building trades
council, who do not have to be walking
delegates in order to be eligible to
such Office. The constitution does not
provide for society of walking dele
gates functioning under charter of a
building trades council, as the New
York Building Trades Council does, to
dictate to the local unions what term
cf Office and what salary to provide it's
delegates.
"Nor does the constitution permit a
LEGAL building trades council to assist
in organizing scab unions and furnish
them With cards of the building trades
council"

ELKTON, Md, May 31.-At a congre
gatlonal meeting Of the Elkton Presby-
terrain Church last night the Rev. Dr..
John McElmoyle presented his resignh-
ton as pastor. This followed the ac-
tlon OF the Presbyterian General As
sembly at Winona Lake, Ind, in sus-
tanning the order of the Presbytery
dissolving the pastoral relations be-
tween DR.. McElmoyle and the Elkton
church. The Presbytery's stand was
taken because Of the great number of
wedding ceremonies performed by DR.,
McElmoyle, who has been known as
the marrying parson."
In accepting the resignation, the con.
gregation adopted resolutions declaring
DR.. McElmoyle had been the victim of
malicious persecution. The conprega.
tion voted to give him $4,000 and allow
him to use the manse as long as he
may wish.

regular rate. After considerable qulb-
bling and reversals Hancock finally
admitted he dropped his rate to SO
cents for $1,500,000 of the money and
kept the rate ~ cents for 100000
in the face OF the competition of the
mutual concerns.
Frank Bishop, secretary and general
manager of the Pawtucket Mutual Fire
Insurance Company, told of the diff
culties his concern had in getting into
the exchange. 1t developed from his tes-
timony that, since May 25, the exchange
has ruled the admission of mutual
companies to the rate service of the
exchange for $50 monthly. He added
that this privilege was hardly worth
while, as it did not admit the firm
to do business with exchange brokers
CIR members.
Bishop added that the mutual COM
panies have no such expenses as the
their brokers 5 per cent for agreeing
not to do business with firms not in
the exchange.
Gas a lawyer" asked Mr.. Untermyer
in connection with this practice, ''you
know that is a criminal conspiracy %
"It would look So" replied Bishop.
Bishop said that under the rules
they were not allowed to return divi-
dends to policyholders in the New York
City jurisdiction. AS result of this
situation, he admitted, the dividends
IN mis- firm were merely piling up for
distribution among those outside this
district The company paid an average
dividend of about 80 per cent of the
premiums. He said if they paid div-
dends to policyholders here they would
be expelled from the exchange.
La Doyt G. Purmort, of the Central
manufacturers Insurance Company, of
Ohio, said that his company had been
licensed to operate in twcnty-eight
states, including New York State. and
that his firm was member of the local
exchange, but withdrew in 1915 when
they found they were not permitted to
distribute dividends to their policv-
holders in this district. AS result
OF the restrictions of the exchange the
mutuals write only one-third of / per
cent OF the insurance in This state
while they wrote from 20 to % per cent
of the insurance in other states.
Malcolm B. butcher, of the firm of
butcher G. Edminster insurance brok-
ers, said he was a member of the ex-
change and that he was not permitte ed
to do business with firms not in the
exchange. He admitted, although de-
irving living from his firms asso-
citation with the exchange, that the
system of the New York Fire Insurance
Exchange was vicious"
The hearing will be continued this
morning.

Engineers' Demand
Blocks Settlement
Of Marine Strike
Davis Unable to Reconcile
Owners TO Reinstatement
Clause; Another Effort
at Compromise To-day

Demands of the marine engineers
for reinstatement clause in the pro
posed agreement for settlement of the
nationwide steamship strike which
had been negotiated by Secretary OF
Labor James J. Davis in Washington
and New York prevented settlement
of the controversy yesterday, accord
ing to announcement made by Mr. Da-
Wis following the series of conferences
Later Mr.. Davis visited the White
House, but no information was OBJ
tained as to his discussion Of the mat
ter with President Harding. The Sec
retary will confer with the engineers
again to-day, it was announced, but he
said that apparently every means of
settlement had been exhausted and
that unless the present tentative agree
ment was signed he would devote no
more time to the problem. The Ameri-
can Steamship Owners Association, at
meeting yesterday, refused to ratify
the agreement.
This action means that only a par
tial settlement of the shipping strike
will be possible. 1t has been predicted
that Admiral William S. Benson, chair
man of the United States Shipping
Board, would sign the agreement with
representatives of the various unions
as result of the pressure brought to
bear upon him by the Administration
il Washington. The Shipping Board
now controls four-sevenths of the
American mercantile marine. The pri-
vate ship operators are determined not
to sign any agreement with the unions.
The refusal to ratify the agreement
came in the form of resolution up
holding the attitude of the associations
executive and wage committees. The
don, of the Union Sulphur Company
ana was passed unanimously.
Immediately after the meeting Win
throp l.. Marvin, president s,nd
general manager of the association
said:
This agreement the Davis plan OF
settlement is absolutely unacceptable
to our association. Business and eco.
nomic conditions are such that we have
no assurance that wages can be main
tanned at their present level for s
period of year, and the resolution
just passed shows that we will not sub
nit to such an agreement"
Bert L. Todd, business agent of the
sea-going local of the Marine Engi.
neers' Beneficial Association, said just
before departing for Washington that
the steamship owners had repeatedly
told him that the marine workers would
have to submit to three different cuts
during the present year, and that the
Is per cent reduction in wages which
went into effect on May / was the first
of these cuts.
1t was on this ground that the strike
was called, he said, and the more con.
servative members Of the marine en-
gineers' organization considered thu
years agreement based on the accept
ance of the Ii per cent reduction il
wages negotiated by Secretary Davi
as victory which was acceptable t,

most of the mills the strike began or

on May II. The strike was in protest
against wage reduction OF 80 per cent

Railroad Heads Declare
Wage Cut Inadequate
Spokesman for Employees Re-
SO fuses Comment; Decision
E[n 10 Union Committee

CHICAGO, May 31.---Railway execu-
tives to-nighe expressed disappoint-
ment at what they declared to be the
inadequate wage decreases announced
by the United States Railroad Labor
Board.
B. M. Jewell. president of the rail-
road department of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, refused to make any
comment, but declared the decision
would be taken mp at meeting of the
executive committee, probably in Chi
cago within the next few days.
'The reduction in wages granted is
not, in my opinion, sufficient to meet
the demands Of the situation" said H.
e. Byram, president of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railroad.
S. Nj. FELTON,, president of the Chi
cago Great Western Railroad, declered
the decision was "yery disappointing.
1.-THE railways believed that the reduc-
tons in the cost OF living and in wages
in other industries would justify an
even larger reduction of railway wages
than the advance granted last summer
and that the financial condition Of the
railroads and the conditions of general
business demanded it," he said.

seious when picked up, but soon lapsed
into unconscious His side ana
back were badly cut, but ii is expected
that he will recover.
The bomb which caused the accident
was suspended, with the heavier bombs,
from rack rndor the biplane. Either
the rack OF the bomb is thought to
have been defective. for the bomb
slipped twice from the rack before the
accident occurred. The first time It was
replaced; the second time it exploded,
although it was protected by safety de-
vices.
Plane Propeller Is Blamed
The firing pin on the bottom of the
bomb is protected by cap At
tached to thrs cap Is small air pro-
pe.ler When the bomb is released the
force of the air against this propeller
turns it, unscrewing the cap protecting
the firing pin. Then when the bomb
strikes the firing pin hits the object
with which the bomb eollides,, explod-
irg the charge of TINT which the
bomb contains.
1t so happened that when the bomb
dropped off the plane the second time
the air from the propeller of the air
plane, according to eye-wltnesses
turned the propeller on the bomb, thus
unscrewing the cap protecting the nr,
ing pin. Then as the plane passed
over the bomb it is thought that the
tail skid struck the firing pin, de
tonating the charge. The fact that
none of the 30o-pound bombs that were
on the biplane exploded is taken by
army officials to indicate the effective
ness of the safety devices on the
bombs.
There were about twenty men stand
ing near the plane at the time of the
explosion and it is thought that if any
of the larger bombs had exploded
every one would have been killed The
fifty-pound bomb which did explode
made hole in the ground about three
feet deep and four feet wide.
