more friendly toward each other politi-
cally, as we'll as bringing them closer
to the United States. Those speaking
for the Baltic republics were voldemar
Carneckis, representative of Lithuania;
Charles L. Sega, representative of Lat
via, and Hans Locke, acting consul for

Police Stop Liner in
Bay to Take Fugitive
Two Long Island Women Say
Simeone Deserted Them, So
VOYAGE Ia Halted

Dominic Simeone, who says he for
merly was captain in the italian army
and received the degre Of Doctor of
Philosophy from an Italian university,
was we'll down the Lower Bay on q
steamship bound for Naples last night
when a police launch overhauled the
liner and Joseph Lenardo, Assistant
District Attorney of Queens County,
came aboard and took him off, a pris-
oner.
Simeone is wanted in Long Island
City on a charge Of abandonmen made
by two women, each of whom asserts she
is his wife and one of whom has a two
yearold child. Learning that Simeone
was on the point Of sailing, Mr.. Len
ardo telephoned to the immigration au-
thorities at Ellis Island to take him off
the ship.
They did their best to cooperate
with the prosecutor, but when he
reached Ellis Island, shortly after the
vessel had sailed, Mr.. Lenardo found
that they had detained the wrong Sine
one and the right one was on his way
to Italy, which refuses to extradite its
subjects. He jumped into a police
launch and gave chase.
Simeone will be arraigned in Long
Island City police court this morning
According to the police, three women
claim him as husband, but as one saws
they were married In Italy, another in
Connecticut and the third in New Jer-
sey no charge of bigamy can be made
against him in this state

Craig Favors
air of Tunnels.
| And Not Bridge
Declares They Would Meet
Needs of Traffic Under
East River for $lO,OOO,-
600, Fourth Cost Of Span
Would Conserve Credit
City Must Be in Position
to Recapture Control Of
Transit Lines, He Insists

Comptroller Craig wants the city to
make haste slowly in the construc-
tion Of new bridges over the East
River.
The Comptroller said last night that
the city needed the money which would
be invested in new bridges to recap
ture the subways when the occasion
arose. In lieu Of new bridge the
Comptroller suggests the construction
Of two pair of tunnels to take care
Of the rapid transit lines now using
the East River bridges. The tunnels
rs compared with S40,000,000 for q new
bridge, the Comptroller says, and at
the same time the release Of roadways
on the bridges would increase the
facilities for .vehicular traffic 100 per
cent.
"There seems no Immediate occa,
sion for alarm in regard to the Brook
lyn Bridge" he continued,
Margin of Cred!t High
''In the last few months the city's
debt limit or margin of credit has
been the largest in it's history. and, so
far as that Is concerned, it could nov,
recapture the rapid transit lines #
the time to do so under the contracts
had arrived. 1t is Of the utmost i'm
portance that expenditures for other
public improvem ents shall be SO regu-
lated and controlled as not to inter
fere with this policy of recenture o.
jeopardize the provision of additional
rapid transit facilities.
There are now five pairs OF rapid
transit tunnels constructed and owned
by the city under the East River, four
of which are in operation. The cost
OF these tunnels averages somewhat in
excess Of S5,000O00 pair. Besides
this, the Long Island Railroad operates
under the East River.
"a new bridge over the East River
would probably cost for its construc-
tion and the acquisition of necessary
land and approaches and other Incl
dental outlays in the neighborhood OF
$40,000,000. Besides the interest and
sinking fund charges for so large an
investment, there would be large an
nual loss to the city of substantial
sums now received in taxes from prop
erty that would be forever removed
from the taXrolls when acquired for
bridge purposes.
Could Remove Bridge Lines
"All the rapid transit service that is
now maintained over the four East
River bridges could undoubtedly be
taken care of in two pairs of new
rapid transit tunnels, the cost of
which need not materially exceed $10,-
100000. If the rapid transit service
now handled over the East River
bridges were removed to new tunnels
provided for that purpose. it would inn
mediately release for vehcular traffic
over these bridges roadways to an ex-
tent that would practically increase
by 100 per cent the present vehicular
capacity of the East River bridges If
provision were made for increased
traffic to this extent by the building
Of new bridges, it would require an
outlay Of upward of $4,000. 900"

s'One Big Textile Union
Is Born at Meeting Here
Amalgamation of 10 Independ-
ent Bodies Effected as Rival
4. r. of l.. Affiliation

Organization OF ten independent
unions representing approximately
10000 textile workers of various
crafts in the Eastern and Southern
states was effected yesterday, when
sixty-three delegates from the unions
concerned met in the Hotel St Andrew
and signed the constitution of the
newly-formed Federated Textile
Unions of America.
Coineidentally. it was announced
that one of the primary purposes of
the new federation for the present will
be the giving Of aid to the New Eng
land textile workers, who have been
on strike since last winter. Another
chief objective will be the organizing
into the federation of the 100000 tex
tile workers throughout the country.
In some quarters the latter was
seen as threat against the existence
of the United Textile Workers, which
is the only textile organization affili-
ated with the American Federation of
Labor and which is the chief rival in
the New England field OF the Amalga-
mated Textile Workers. known to
American Federation of Labor conserv-
atives as a radical organization. The
Amalgamated is one Of the chief NOV
ing spirits in the new organization,
which was termed by the conservative
labor leaders as step toward the zone
big union" in the textile industry
The Federation organization will be
perfected at meetings to be held here
to-day and tomorrow. Among the
organizations represented are the
Amalgamated Textile Workers, Art
Square Workers, Tapestry Carpet
Workers, Body Brussels Weavers' As
sociation, international Spinners'
Union, Amalgamated Knit Goods Work
ers and the Loom Fixers' National AS

U. S. Begins Probe
OF N. Y. Firms Using
Chinese i'm Plants
One Company Admits 1t
Employs Some, but Says
American Labor Always
Has Preference for Work

The United States Department Of
Labor began an investigation yesterday
into alleged employment of Chinese
labor by manufacturing plants in the
Laurel Hill section Of Long Island City.
Witnesses we're examined by Joseph F,
Frayne. representing the Department
Of Labor, in the office of Comm issioner
of Public Works Benjamin Marvin, in
Queens Borough Hall. Present at the
investigation were Congressman John
j. Kindred, representing the Long ISL
and City district. and State Senator
Peter j. McGarry. Others attending
were John Sheridan, secretary Of the
Blissville Taxpayers Association, and
members of that organization. In an
interview Congressman Kindred said:
eve have sufficient evidence to sup
port claims Of those resident here that
Chinese labor is being employed in fac
tories in the Laurel Hill section. Of
corse some Of the allegations are seri-
GUS, but we have as yet no legal proof
that the law is being violated The
charges include violation of the ex-
clusion laws as we'll as those relating
to contract labor
The principal complaints are directed
at the Nichols Copper Company plant,
From officials of that company it was
ascertajned that thirty Chinese are en-
ployed among 1900 workers. The Chi
nese are alleged to have been brought
here in ships that dock in New York.
They work in the plant while their
ships are in port and leave when the
ships are ready for sea. The Chinese
thus employed are declared to be ex-
pert machinists, carpenters, flremen,
oilers and steamtitters
The company says it pays the Chi
ncse the same wages as are paid Ameri-
can workmen, and that the men en-
ployed are legitimately resident in this
country pending departure of the ships
that bring them here. Officials of the
Nichols company said they were in
the market for expert worklnen. They
did not discriminate, but would invari-
ably favor an American workman of
equal capability over any foreigner.

Federal troops in the coal regions of
West Virginia some time ago, and re
called that not a shot was fired by
these men all the while they were
there.
