ORDERS FOR STRIKE
ARRIVE IN NEW YORK

New York, Oct. 21.-(By A. P.)-
lOtfcial strike orders from officers of
the Big Four railroad brotherhoods and
Pie Switchmen's Union of North
america were being communicated to :
tlay to railway employees in the New
York district. The orders, received late
asst night. were promptly passed along
lown the line, local union officials said,
N order to forestall possible Injunction
proceedings by the Government.
In the meantime the railroads,
kpurred by the failure Of the Labor
Board to bring forth any hope of settle
nent, began polls to ascertain as nearly
s possible what proportion Of their
employees intended to obey the walk
put order,
Revised figures given out by local
fticials Of the unions involved placed
he minimum number of men in the
metropolitan district affected by the
ftrike order at 10000. The district
hcluded an area with a radius of
twenty, five miles, centering in the
Borough Of Manhattan. The allied rail :
foad shop crafts of the district, which
re not yet affected, claim a member :
nip Of between 125, 900 and 100 900.
The railroads continued yesterday to
ecelye applications for employment.
ccording to official announcements, as
Sell as offers Of volunteer service from
commuters and college men. The Della :

oad announced it would reinsure on

MUST PRODUCE RUM
TO CONVICT SELLERS

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 21.-United
States District Judge Wilmer told a
Federal Grand Jury here yesterday it
is hard to convict liquor Gellers unless
sample of the rum is produced in
court.
The Grand Jury is hearing a mass of
evidence obtained by private detectives
who investigated prohibition violations
in the Mount Carmel district. Be
cause of the scope Of the inquiry, de-
tectives took but two samples, fearing
such action would alarm the rumsellers
and bnlk the investigation.
The Grand Jury had been hearing the
detectives and interrupted its session
long enough to seek a ruling from Judge
Wilmer. The jury asked what evidence
was admissible for returning a true bill
of indictment.
A juror asked if the evidence of a
detective would hold in court.
IF it Is reasonable evidence, It will, +"
the Judge replied. To another query
he answered:
"An affidavit before you doesn't
count. You must hear the witnesses.
Discussing the need for rum samples
Judge Wilmer continued.
1T Is hard to convict in court with
out n sample being produced, or, in
many cases, an analysis being made. In
this court, 80 far as know, there
hasn't been one conviction without this
proof.
There may, however, be convic-
ton If the Jury believes the testimony
OF persons who purchased the liquor.
AS say, It is difficult to convict from
evidence unless the corroborative or cir
cumstantial facts are strong enough.
The whole question hinges on whether
the evidence as brought before you is
produced"
The private detectives who made the
investigation were engaged by q citi-
gems committee of Mount Carmel.

Continued from Paso Ono

power Of attorney for the signing OF

was chief permit clerk In the same Of

ing them with conspiracy to cheat and
defraud the United States Govern
ment." Singer was named In the same
warrant with them rs a o-conspira-
tor.
Until late yesterday, when the war
rants were issued for the arrest OF
Slater and Benner, II had been planned
to put them on the witness stand to tes-
tify against Singer and possibly others
Of the five original defendants. United
States Attorney Coles changed this plan
when he realized that to use them as
witnesses probably would make 1t i'm
possible to try them for the same Of
fense.
W@o Sought BY Deputies
Slater and Benner could not be found
when a deputy United States marshal
was sent for them. They walked into
the United States Marshal's 8 Office short
ly after 10 o'clock today, unaccom-
panied, and announced that they wanted
to surrender.
The men were nattily dressed, wear =
ing autumn weight topcoats, and smil-
Ing. The warrant was read to them,
and for the time being they were shut
up in the little room adjoining the
United States MarshaPs cellroom. They
were not locked up in cells.
They had lost some of their air Of
confidence when they were taken to the
crowded Grand Jury room a half hour
later.
The hearing of the five original de.
PENDANTS had been set for 10 O'Clock,
but 1t was almost IL when the names
of the defendants were read BY the
clerk. Those Of Slater and Benner were
read along with those Of the others, and
they answered Here" from their
places.

washington, Oct. 21.-(By A. y
A new phnse Of the railroad strike stu
alton faced the Government today with
tho news that the conference In Chicago
between the Railroad Labor Board and
tbe five brotherhood leaders had been
terminated without having resulted in
any definite plan for averting the ma
tlon. wide tie-up scheduled to start
October 3O.
The optimistic atmosphere which hns
nsryaded discussion Of the situation
was not entirely dissipated, however,
nv the overnight setback. The general
opinion expressed was that the situa-
tion was far from hopeless.
Speculation today was directed chiefly
mon the question Of whether the Rail-
road Labor Board would be called upon
nromise, or whether President Harding
would initiate some other plan, as yet
unsuggested.
Senate leaders agreed finally today to
rroceed with pending railroad legisla-
ton despite the strike situation, but
believed that no action would come be-
fore October 30.
The Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee will meet tomorrow to con-
sder amendments to the carriers $780,
OOO, 900 debt funding bill, with a view
| TO having 1t ready for Senate discus
sion after disposal of the tax and anti
| beer measures. It is not scheduled to
get before the Senate, however, until
next month and weeks Of debate are in
prospect.
The, committee will open hearings
next Monday on bill by Senator Cap
per for repeal Of the So called rate
guarantee Of the Esch Cummins law
I as urged by the American Farm Bureau
Federation. The bill also would repeal
provisions giving the Interstate Com
merce Commission Jurisdiction over
State rates. Representatives of agri-
cultural and commissioners organiza-
tions are to be heard on Monday.
Senator's said there was no probabil-
ity that anti strike legislation would be
pressed until all negotiations to avert
The strike had been concluded. Should
strike cnsue, however, it was said that
some sort of anti strike bill probably
would crop up.
