Girl Hurt i'm Being
Carried TO Bath, Is
.Arbuckle's Claim
Defense Seeks TO Show That
Miss Rappe's Friend Hap
pened to Bruise Her i'm
Lifting Her From a Bed
special Dispatch TO Tho Tribune

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23.- Fred
erick Fishback, moving picture director,
came to the aid Of Roscoe Arhucke
to-day. Arbuckle is on trial charged
with attacking Miss Rappe and inflict-
Ing fatal injuries at party given in
his rooms at the st. Francis Hotel.
Fishback, a member of the party, had
invited the girl to be present. He him
self, he testified, left the room and
went out sightseeing.
When he returned, he said, he saw
Miss Rappe on a bed in Arbuckle's
suite, tearing off her clothes. Arbuckle
asked the women present so keep her
from disrobing, Fishback declared.
1t was Fishback who carried the
young woman to bathroom, dipped her
to the bed. He was asked the precise
manner in which he had taken her up,
the apparent intent of the question
being to establish that it might have
been Fishback's strong fingers that
caused the bruises found on the body.
Fishback put his story into words,
and then demonstrated in pantomime.
DR.. Asa Weston Collins testified for
the defense that internal injuries such
as Miss Rappe suffered might have
been caused by many thingssuch as
sudden strain, sitting down too hard,
coughing or sneezing violently or be-
ing suddenly immersed in cold water.
He asserted that the drinking Of gin
and orange juice was quite likely to
be factor in this. 1t has been re-
peatedly shown that this was Miss
Rappe's tipple at the party.
DR.. Olaf Karboe testified he was the
first physician to visit Miss Rappe
after she had been taken from Ar
buckles hotel suite. He said there was
at that time no indication Miss Rappo
needed medical attention. She seemed
intoxicated. DR.. Arthur Beardslee,
house physician of the hotel, arrived
some time later and found the patient
in great pain.

Takes Up
New Reduction
I'm Rail Rates
tcoatInued from page one,

to rates on grain, grain products and
hay, or to any particular section of the
country. The economic reasons in ia
vor cf reductions apply with equal
force to other products of the farm and
to other territorial sections"
"Your petitioners, in view of the
condition and of the special needs of
the transportation industry, do not be-
lieve that any further reductions in
rates than those here mentioned,
shoald be made until there is reduc-
tion in operating COSTS" the applica-
tion said.
This proposal was made by the car
riers, the application pointed out, to
aid in the economic readjustment and
relieve the serious economic distress
of the agricultural industry, despite
the fact that the financial condition
of the railroads does not warrant such
q move.
"The net operating income Of the
railroads in 1920 amounted to S62,000,-
600, as against a normal in other
years of more than 00,000,000," the
application said, adding that "even this
amount of S62000,000 included back
mail pay received from the government
for prior years of approximately
se4,ooo,Ooo, thus showing, when the
operations of that year alone are con-
sidered, an actual deficit before max
ing any allowance for either interest
or dividends"

Union Chiefs to Confer
On Wages Nest Week
Chairnsen Of Organizations A.
tiiated Wiih Shopcrafts
Are tn Gather in Chicuoo

All chairmen Of the railroad unions
affiliated with the Federated Shop
Crafts are to gather in Chicago early
next week to go over the entire wage
situation as it affects the 100000 en-
ployees in these organizations.
This is the next step, according to
Fred c. Boland, general vice-president
of the railroad Blacksmiths' Union,
which the shopmen will take following
their announced intention to proceed
for an increase of 13 cents an hour
The union leaders notified the railroad
managers of their intention to move
for q rails in wages few days ago. ap-
parently with the knowledge that the
companies were about to petition the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
permission to effect further reduc-
tion in the wages Of railroad employees.
The shopmen now get II cents an
hour, the new rate asked representing
an advance of nearly II per cent over
the existing wage scale, and five cents
an hour over the wage awarded in July,
1920. These are the men whose wages
were reduced recently by tn Railroad
Labor Board from 10 to 12 per cent,
and whose strike vote on October 81
was not exercized by their leaders. B.

Crafts organization, with headquarters

he said, has been "a chronic and ipcor-

Schlesinger's letter says, "all collec-

the union and the association during

been abruptly and prematurely termin-

less the association, at this time, is

about new contracts with it."
With the reinstatement Of the con-
tract, Mr. Schlesinger says that "the
union will be glad to enter into con-
ference with the employers on the
question of perfecting and improving
the existing methods for determining
in each specific case what is fair

der Hylan Plans for City

At an executive meeting OF members
of the Board Of Estimate and the heads
of the city departments in the Mayors
office yesterday it was decided to call
conference In this city Of all the
members of the State Senate and As
sembly and all mayors and corpora
tion counsel of cities throughout the
state to formulate a nOn-partisan plan
Of home rule legislation to be pre-
sented at the next Legislature. Mayor
Hylan appointed committee, OF which
Corporation Counsel O'Brien is chair
man, to make arrangements for the
conference, the date for which will be
announced later.
Grover A. Whalen, Commissioner Of
Plant and Structures, was made vice
chairman Of the committee. Among the
fifteen other members of the commit
tee were several members of the Board
Of Estimate, including F. II. La Guar
dia, President Of the Board Of Alder
men, and several heads of the city de-
partments. Sophie Irene Loeb, presi-
dent of the Board Of Child Welfare,
and l.. ]. Q'Reilly. Commissioner of the
Board Of Water Supply, were also ap-
pointed on the committee.
The real purpose of such state
wide conference Is understood to be to
prepare an offensive on the part of the
cities against farmer" upstate man
datory legislation. It is hoped to OBJ
tain a united city vote against the vote
Of the rural districts.
Corporation Counsel O'Brien said
that the Mayor laid before the confer
ence yesterday several suggestions,
among them being proposed bill to
give the City of New York the same
power as that given to second and third
class cities. Such bill would be in
the form of an amendment to Chapter
444 Of the Laws of 1914, which is
known as the optional city government
law, for cities like Mount Vernon,
Yonkers, Albany and Syracuse. Under
this law these cities have the right,
upon the petition Of 1000 voters, to
have an election for choosing one Of
six methods of governing themselves.

Hearings to Open Friday
Committee Named to Take
Evidence Under Oath, but
Can't Enforce Decisions

A state investigation Of tho gar
ment makers strike was ordered yes
terday by Henry D. Sayer, State In
dustrial Commissioner. The investi-
cation will be conducted by commit
tee of three assisted by counsel, and will
begin at 10 O'clock Friday morning.
The decision to investigate the
strike was reached after Louis Lustig,
president of the Cloak, Suit and Skirt
Manufacturers Protective Association,
failed to respond to Mr.. Sayer's invita-
tion to confer at his Office with Ben
jamin Schlesinger, president of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers

the Board of Industrial Relations, spe-
cial counsel to the committee.

Under the labor laws, this commit
tee will have power to issue subpoenas
and take testimony under oath and to
make recommendations based on its
findings. 1t will not, however, be able
to make or enforce rulings on the
issues involved.
Concerning Mr.. Lustig's failure to
appear at Commissioner Sayer's Office
yesterday, Max D. Steuer, special coun-
sci for the Manufacturers Protec-
tive Association, said that he had
understood that it was to be a media
tion meeting, and "since no one wanted
to mediate," there was no use in
attending.
Informed of Commissioner Sayer's
move for an investigation, Mr.. Steucr
said that Mr.. Lustig would certainly
be on hand Friday morning.
"There did not appear to be much

not want to mediate, but they do not
object to throwing the light on the
subject an investigation will bring"

yesterday to H. L. Kerwin, Director Of
