Union Would Seize
Clothing Industry
Says malgamatedA Aims Only
to Determine Conditions
of Labor and Prevent
Return of the Sweatshop

Joseph Schlossberg, general secre-
.tary-trea asurer of the Anaigamated
Clothing Workers of America, denied
yesterday that the Amalgamated IN
tended to prevent the clothing manu-
facturers of this city from moving
their factories if they so choose.
Mr.. Schlossberg said he was mis-
quoted in some newspapers yesterday
on this point. The quotations in ques-
tion were from an address delivered
by Mr.. Schlossberg at Madison Square
Garden last Sunday
II never said that swe shall not al
low. the employers to move their fac
tories The point l meant to make
was that the labor power is ours and
that while the employers are in pos
session Of the plants and the tools we
are entitled to a voice in determining
the conditions of labor. Tha. was tho
sum and substance of my remarks.
"The Amalgamated is not engaged
IN any plans or efforts to take che
clothing industry away from the en-
llcyers. We are engaged. however, in
a determined effort to prevent the en-
ployers from throwing the industry
back into the sweatshop stage"
What about the statement in the
preamble of the Amalgamated's con-
stltution expressing as the Ultimate
hope of your union the social,zation Of
industry and it's operation on coop
crative basis?" Mr. Schlossberg was
asked.
"Well. I did not know that II was
crime to advocate the socialization of
industry, or industrial cooperation" +"
replied Mr.. .Schlossberg. "Our own
union is now engaged in a cooperative
experiment. The ANA lgamated has never
concealed the fact that it stal.ds for
cooperative industry, and in this it
has the support of many labor organi-
zations that are regarded as more con-
servative than ours
us it true that you went to Italy to
study the Italian experiment of seizing
the industries with the purpose of
ultimately having it repeated in the
clothing industry here?" Mr.. Schloss-
berg was asked.
THAT is ridiculous Interpretation
made upon my trip to Italy by the
manufacturers in the recent court ac-
tion brought by them for the dissolu-
tion of our union," said Mr.. Schloss-
berg. "The Amalgamated does not
stand for the forcible seizure of indus
try and the employers know it,"

Strike Halts Car Lines
In Five Upstate Cities

ALBANY, Jan. 2s.--Employees of the
trolley lines in Albany, Troy, Cohoes,
Watervliet and Rensselaer, expressed
their resentment at having their wages
cut from 60 to 40 cents an hour by
quitting tonight in a body. The men
struck at midnight and according to
their leaders tomorrow not trolley
will run in the five cities.
The United Traction Company, which
operates the lines, received permission
from Albany to charge an Scent fare
in that city, but have been denied that
privilege in the other towns. Several
days ago the company notified the men
Of the prospective cut in wages. The
local in Troy Immediately voted to
strike and the others followed later.
In Albany tonight 1t was said that
no cars would be run until the matter
was settled. John j. McManus, Cor
poration Counsel, insisted that on Mon
day morning he would obtain a per-
emptory writ of mandamus, forcing the
company to operate its lines.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s. - Resosu-ss
tions urging investigation Of all alIegeds
illegal combinations in the building Ia 4
dustry and punishment for the guiltys
parties were adopted at the closing sas- I
sion here to-day of the housing confer
ence called by the National Council Of
the Chamber of Commerce Of, Nd
United States. The conference. atttndl
ed by civic and industrial leaders frcp1t
all parts of the country. pledged Ha:
full support to "those who are bring i
ing the facts to light"
Holding the present housing shortages
to constitute a grave menace to t6es
moral we'll being of the American peo5
pie, the conference urged manufaetur-
ers Of building materials, contractdr4I
and retailers and distributors to EXERT:
their utmost efforts to the end that,
conditions are brought about which wilfi
result in immediate reductions in costs
OF construction. g
Workers engaged not only in thsS
building industry itself, but also In
the manufacture Of all materials enter
ing into construction were urged to-
do their full share to the end that
labor costs, which constitute so large, 6
proportion 6f the total cost of raw ma
terials and of building, may be re-:
duced to point where it will be res !
sible to proceed with construction"
Tax exemption for all new dwellings,
for period Of at least fifteen ysars'
as means of stimulating building wSa
advocated by Lawson Purdy, former
president of the New York City Board
of Taxes and Exemptions. Such an Skr
emption would be a substantial induces
ment to builders, Mr.. Purdy said, add :.
ing that it was fully warranted by the
present housing shortage. He advocated
that it should apply to all homes built
in the next three years.

Charge Against Solovei,
Hylan's Friend, Dismissed
Judge Hand Calls Indictment
Charging Bribery in Dry
Case Faulty

Judge A. N. Hand, in the United
States District Court, yesterday sus-
tanned the demurrer interposed By Max
S. Steuer in behalf of his client, Joseph
SoIovei, Assistant Corporation Counsel
and friend of Mayor Hylan, and
dismissed the indictment.
Solovei, who was arrested last De-
cember, was charged with having given
$500 to Frank Seib, an agent of the
special intelligence unit of the Depart
ment of Internal Revenue, for the pur-
pose Of having him drop the case
against one Benjamin Gross, at that
time in custody for an alleged viola
tion of the Volstead act.
Judge Hand decided that the indict
ment was faulty, and that "the gov
ernment should show more fully what
the revenue agent was doing and what
crime had been committed by Gross
at the time the bribe was alleged to
have been offered"

Foreign Trade Notes

The British Commission on Wheat
Supply has revoked the order reouir-
ing importers Of cereals, -four. meal.
rice and pulse in excess of five tons
TO report such importations to the com
mission on or before their arrival.
Controlled millers are still prohibited
from paying more than the price fixed
by the commission.
The Department of Commerce re-
ports that the fact that Japan is de-
pendent upon other countries for her
raw material in the cotton industry
would indicate that American manu-.
facturers should be able to get fair
share of the cotton piece goods trade
IN Manchuria, provided they adopt sales
methods suitable to local conditions.
Canada exported to Italy during the
year ended October 81, last, $4,000
900 worth of merchandise, compared
with Sl,o0o,o00 worth in 1917.
The Brazilian government has de-
cided to extend protection Of trade
marks transmitted by the Trademark
Bureau established at Havans under
the terms OF the Buenos Ayres Con-
vention OF 1910.

Merchants Plan Cut in
Cost of Truck Loading
Independent Gangs Perpetuate
''Createst Of Stick-Up Ganes,"
Saws Bureau Secretary

a conference OF representatives Of
trucking firms, warehouse operators
and officials Of railways and steamship
lines was held at 154 Nassau Street,
Yesterday, under the auspices Of the
DOWNTOWN League, to formulate plans
t. force q reduction in the cost of
loading and unloading trucks at piers.
The Independent gangs of men who
are loading at our piers are perpetrat-
ing one of the greatest stick-up games
IN the Port of New York to-day, said
Thomas Barry. secretary of the Mer-
chants Truckmen Bureau, commenting
or the exorbitant rates charged bv
these men,
He added that a special committee
from the organization which he repre-
sented was working on a Plan to do
away with this evil. He refused, now
ever, to make public any of the details
of the plan.
Another plan discussed at the con-
terence was the practicability of the
carrying agents employing these load
ers regularly. This was dismissed,
however, by representatives of railway
and steamship lines themselves on the
ground that the quantity of freight
handled at the present time did mot
warrant such an expense.
The men who are loading trucks to-
dsy, 1t was reported, are working in
small groups of five and Nsix-spiitting
the days total Of business among them.
These independent groups, it is al
legged, often clash, and the cause of the
continued high charges for unloading
IS laid to the fact that these groups
can only find work to employ them
part of the time. Exorbitant rates are
declared to be necessary to tide these
men over frequent periods of upem-
ployment.
Before adjourning, members Of the
downtown League passed q vote of
confidence in the solution which the
Merchants Truckmen Bureau is re-
ported to have formulated

s5,000,0OO Worth
OF British FOREIGN
Trade Air-Carried
Government Reports That
Amount Transacted by
Commercial Aeroplane
Service Since Aug, 1919

A foreign trade by air amounting to
about S5,000,oo0 has been transacted by
the British commercial airplane serv-
ice since its inception in August, 1919,
according to official statistics issued
by the British Air Ministry.
Exports by air route from the United
Kingdom totaled s344,87e, while i'm
ports amounted to e6s5,0 The fig
ures are to the end Of November. 1920.
While the early returns show that
the air route trade balance was heavily
against Great Britain, the excess Of
imports was greatly reduced in the
latter part Of the period under review.
British airplanes in the last five months
carried S217.049 worth Of goods abroad,
compared with imports amounting to
1857 ,S55. The detailed figures. which
have just been received by the for
"'gn information department. of the
Bankers Trust Company, are as fol-
lows:
Imports. Exports
Aug. to Dec, 1919.... s59,839 s31 1,O97

July to Nov. 1920. 357,355 217,o4s
Total .............. 685.054 344,876
Inc trade is with the Continent and
the bulk Of the imports were from
France.
During the first eleven months OF
1920 Great Britain's imports reached
value s1,o96.711,21S greater than for
January-November, 1913, and 1881 $685.
$40 in excess of the corresponding
period of 1919; exports Of British mer-
ckandise were greater by 4756,796,45S
and s531 ,42o .7so, respectively; and re-
experts Of foreign and colonial mer-
chanaise greater by f109, 9,767,256 and
S71,547,878, respectively.
The balance Of trade against the
country at the end of November, 1920,
was thus s345,9s5,748, contrssted with
an adverse balance Of s617,OS4,766 at
the corresponding date in 1919 and one
Of f105,858,244 in 1918. CAT normal
