FIRE AND POLICE CALLS DEMAND RIGHT OF WAY

Following the numbers or acci- dents caused by vehicles failing to pull into the curb line when fire and police department cars are making calls, Commissioner w. B. Cloe of the department of public safety asks all people who drive in the down. town section of the city to have more regard for the ordinance which gives both departments the right of way to make emergency calls.
 Many reports have come to the at tention of the commissioner from both fire and police departments, stating that in many cases, especial ly the fire companies, have to slow down to avoid colliding with auto mobiles, whose drivers fail to pull into the curb.
 Only these two departments are allowed to use the siren whistle and it is easily distinguished, the com missioner stated.

Rail Clerks Granted Eight Hour Day by Decision of Federal Labor
 Tribunal

CHICAGO, Feb. .2S.-The eight hour day, with. time and one-half for overtime after the eighth hour was granted another class of rail road employees today by the rail- road labor board in it's decision on the dispute between the Brother hood of Railway and Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and Station employees and a num- Der of carriers.
 The rule providing for one day off each week also was granted, both provisions being effective March 1, as was an increase of ? cents an hour in the rate of pay of freight employees and station la borers. Other requests for increases in pay were refused.
 The eight-hour day ruling is similar to that recently granted signal men. Station clerks, freight handlers and express employees un- der the former ruling were given pro rata pay for the ninth hour and time and one-half after the ninth hour.
 Recognizes Justice.
 The board said it recognizes the justice of the principle that every employe is entitled to one day off duty in the seven. The decision states that day should be Sunday but necessary work may be done on

 The expressed view of diplomatists throughout the world. according to Dr. George Eaves, chairman. is that all hope of bringing World-peace must now be met by churchmen and others who do not pretend to the aug ust name of diplomatists. What is Gods will for America and for the Nations?" asks pr. Eaves. Tn the long run it will pay to follow those who can best answer this question. Thus to seek a country wide impress sion of what America thinks may very well lead to official action, and in view of this fact the meetings now projected will be continued so as to reach at last. and as briefly as possible, every other center of population, however small"

Yankee Sailors Left
Stranded By
Germans

NORFOLK, Va, May a.
Stranded in Hamburg, Ger
many, and dependent on the
charity of kind-hearted Ameri-
cans, is the fate of Norfolk,
Savannah and New Orleans
boys who shipped on German
steamers during the winter and
early spring and, on arrival
there, were discharged to make
way for German sailors who
work cheaper than Americans.
This was the news received
here today from the secretary
of the Y. M. C. A. in Hamburg.
Because of their having shipped
on German steamers, the Ameri-
can consul can give them no
help as they have no American
seamen's papers. 1t is the
custom, the secretary declared,
Of some German ship masters
to hire American crews through
shipping masters who receive
$40 for each man hired. Be-
cause of the lack of ships for
the American trade there is
little prospect of the boys
getting a ship home, the secre-
tary adds.

BATTLE
Fight Company Unions on

BY international News Service,

CHICAGO, May 14.-The six rail.
road shopcrafts who struck last
summer, and the Brotherhood of
Stationary Engineers, firemen and
oilers, today began a battle before
the United States Railroad Labor
Board against the company unions
formed as result of the strike. The
500 Line was the battle-ground, and
tomorrow the Hooking Valley line
will be attacked.
The shopcrafts have won one bat.
tie before the board, the Grand
Trunk being ordered to give them
recognition on the ballot. A recent
election on the Grand Trunk favored
the shopcrafts.
The shopcrafts demand that the
board order the 500 Line to call a
new election, because the company
union elected representatives to
negotiate wages and working rules
without giving the Federated Shop.
crafts a chance to vote, they
claimed. The evidence presented
showed the shopcrafts in the ma
jority.
Vice President J. F. McGrath, OF

represented the shop crafts, before
the board today.
Two new wage cases were filed
with the board today, the San An
tonic and Arkansas, and the West

JEWISH SCHOOL
PLANS SPLIT
SESSION
Social Service Conference Gets
Two Reports From
Committees.

A sharp division of opinion upon
the makeup and curriculum of a
proposed training school for social
service showed itself at today's
opening business session of the
twenty-fourth annual meeting of
the National Conference of Jewish
Social Service at the Washington
Hotel.
Discussion pro and con ranged
mainly about the question of just
how far the Jewish tradition and
point of view should permeate such
an institution, and two interesting
reports, majority and minority
finding, were submitted.
The majority report was formu-
lated by seven of a special COM
mittee Of nine headed by DIR. Julius
Drachsler, which met in New York
last January. The minority paper
bears the signatures of l.. B. Bern
stein and M. B. Hexter. Those
holding to the majority document
are H. l.. Glucksman, Dorothy G.
Kahn, M. j. Karpf, Solomon
Lowenstein, Frances Taussig and
Bessie B. Vessel.
Points By the Majority.
The salient point in the majority
report is the following portion of
the preamble:
The essential principle upon
which the plan rests is that the
broad and basic training Of the
Hstudents shall be obtained in the
best existing schools of social work,
and that this be preceded and fol
lowed by an intensive jewish train.
ing to be given under independent
Jewish auspices.
The committee feels that such a
Elan adequately safegua nds the in.
dependence of the enterprise, on the
one hand: and on the other, does
not sacrifice the necessary prin
ciple of continuity of proper Jewish
influence over the students during
the whole period of training, while
yet utilizing to the full the facili.
ties of the best existing schools OF
social work"

Shop Strike.

NEW YORK, May 14.-The net
revenue from the rail and water
lines of the Southern Pacific Rail
road Company for the year 1922 ex-
ceeded that of any since the record
year in 1917, it was announced in
the thirty-ninth annual report, made
public today.
"The nationwide business depres-
sion of 1921 became even more
acute during the first half of 1922
and resulted in a decrease in the
operating revenues Of more than
$4,000, 900 below the same six
months of the preceding year." said
the statement.
Threads upon revenue continue
to be made by the competition OF
motor vehicles upon parallel high
ways, which are principally main
tanned by taxation of which the
railroads contribute a substantial
part. The railroads and other tax
payers should be relieved of this
unjust burden by requiring ade-
quate payment for the use and
maintenance of Nlese highways by
those who use them commercially
in competition with the railroads"
Though railroad traffic through
out the country was seriously ham,
pered by the coal and shopmen's
strike, the Southern Pacific did not
suffer as much as other roads, due
to using oil as fuel, the report
stated.
The cost of the shopmen's strike
to the road amounted to about 3d.
