FR. TRAYNOR TALKS ON PARISH DIVISION
Changes Inevitable, Pastor Of
 St. Mary'S Declares

The division Of St, Mary's parish, l which has been generally forecast, though not with official sanction, number of times within the past few years, was hinted at by Rev, Mat thew ]. Traynor, pastor Of the church, at masses yesterday morn- ing, when he referred to the chang ing surroundings of the parish plant and the inroads of commorcialism Into the neiEhborhood, which, he said, was formerly strictly residon- lial.
 Father Traynor said 1t is inevitable that there will be new parishes be- cause of the great number of fami- lies who are moving 10 the suburbs on account of their desire to have residential surroundings. The pres cnt plant cannot be allowed 10 be- come run down, he said, and to that end he plans to have repairs made 10 the stained glass windows, at a heavy expenditure.
 The windows In st. Mary's church are among the most beautiful any where, Father Traynor said, and he prefers them to those in St. Joseph's cathedral. Hartford. The organ will be completely overhauled and a set of organ chimes added.
 Permanent road Improvements will be made in the cemetery. A charge of s5 year will be made for care Of burial lots if desired and for $100 permanent care will be given the lots. Father Taynor said monument repairs will not be in- cluded nor will fresh sod be provid- cd for this charge but the grass will be cut and attention given which will keep the lots in good condition at all times
 Hereafter. sketches of monuments 70 be erected in the cemetery must be approved by Father Traynor, and pills will be sent out shortly to number Of persons who have not made payments for lots. The law against trespassing In the cemetery will be strictly enforced, Father Traynor said. Those who lack proper respect towards the memory of the deceased who are buried there will be prosecuted. No ritual other than that of the Catholic church will be permitted at burial services.

leveling a gun at strike pickets in
some of it's plants in Long Branch,
New Jersey, A. Sanding and Horn,
non-union cloak manufacturers, was
arrested and held on $1,000 bail on
charges of assault. With him, accord
ing to information received by the

realized for the strike fund OF the
cloak makers last Saturday when
workers in settled shops contributed

announced after tabulation of the re-
turns.

HEADS board
ON R. R. WAGE
Arbitration Hearings
Open at New York

NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 29.-Edgar
E. Clark of Washington, D. c., has
been chosen chairman of the board of
arbitration to consider the wage de-
nnands Of the railway brotherhoods
Of the conductors and trainmen. The
board also chose Clark as the chair
man In an organization meeting at
the WaIdorf-Astoria hotel.
Open hearings have commenced and
will continue until both sides pre-
sent their ars Tments, with the unions
giving their Rase first.
Clark has Bid high Office in the
Order Of Railway Conductors. but
there are other things which show
how much railway unionists should
rely upon such impartial" arbitra-
tors.
Clark is a lawyer, member of the
law firm of Clark and La Roe of st.
Louis, and was former chairman of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Recently he defended the claims of
the railroads for a higher valuation
OF their property, appearing for the
estate of Adolphus Busch.
Clark was made assistant secretary
of. commerce and labor in 1908. This
probably was a reward for his anti.
union activities, as in 1902, when an
official of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors, he ordered the conductors to
scab on striking switchmen.
In 1901, during the switchmen's
strike in Denver, Clark made an ar
rangement with the railroad COM
pany, for conductors to take the place
of the strikers. In 1894, Clark united
with the General Managers Associa-
ton to break the strike of the Ameri-
can Railway Union, led by Debs.
Sheppard Presents Case.
In the opening of the arbitration
hearing, L. M. Sheppard, president of
the o. r. c. and advisor of the Train
men in tie case, wherein they ask
20 per cent raise, declared that the
railroads have increased their reve-
nue. from IS to 81 per cent since 1920.
yet that since 1921 the trainmen's
wages have been cut three and a half
cents an hour.

MILL STRIKER
DEAD; SUSPECT
SCAB ENEMIES
Passaic Picket's Body
Found on Drawbridge
Especial to Tn. Daily Worker,

PASSAIc, N. j., Oct. 29-There Is
one striker less in the Passaic textile
mill district this week than there was
last. One less in the ranks of the
sufferers and one more on the list Of
victims.
The broken body of John Elekes, an
active Hungarian striker reported
missing week ago now lies in the
morgue at Union City, N. j. He was
found on the Pennsylvania drawbridge
over the Hackensack river. near Jer-
sey City, his body wedged into the
mechanism of the bridge According
to the autopsy, Elekes was struck by
a train probably while still alive. It
is the opinion of the police and others
who saw the place where the body
was found, that he was taken to the
railroad track to be hit. Whether or
not he was unconscious before he was
hit is not known.
Active Striker.
Elekes was an active striker and
had numerous enemies among the
strikebreakers in the nearby mills.
Some time ago he was arrested on
the complaint of one of them and
fined by Judge Wallace Leyden of the
Second District Criminal Court,
Hackensack. He was paying this fine
off in weekly installments.
The striker was last seen alive
Monday, Oct. Is, when he left home
about four-thirty in the afternoon to
visit his friend, Alexander Sipos, 81
Dewey Street, Garfield. The two men
had been friends for more than twenty
years. Sipos watched Elekes from
the front porch, as he started up the
street toward his home. From the
time he left Sipos' home about eight
O'Clock Monday evening, until his
dead body was found the following
Saturday afternoon, what happened
to Elekes is a mystery.

rTHE depths to which official trade
L unionism has sunk In the state of
Illinois is amply demonstrated by the
support given to Frank L. Smith, re-
publican boodle-snatcher, by the State
Federation of Labor politicians and
their understrappers thruout Illinois.
1t was expected that Smiths connec-
ton with the open-shopper insult
would at least have the effect of keep
ing those political harpies silent. But
no! l have in front OF me a copy of

a prominent member Of the farmer
labor party Of Illinois, now defunct,
which is in fact special issue to
boost Smith,

L is the exposure of George E. Bren-
nan, the democratic tool of capitalism.
Everything said about Brennan, as
far as his anti-labor record is con-
cerned, is true. But why jump from
1.-THE frying pan into fire? If preference
/ for Smith were due to naive belief
that he is a better man than Brennan,
one could keep quite cool about the
matter, even tho it would be hard to
take such a foolish position calmly
But the pity of it is that those labor
leaders who are supporting either
Brennan or Smith are doing so for ul-
terror motives. They are common ras-
calls who are selling their influence
among the workers for a consideration
Of some sort, whether it be hard cash
or jobs for themselves or their rela-
tives
TN England there IS possibly not half

dare endorse a capitalist candidate.
Not that the dominant leaders of the

gladly permit his body to be used by

was principal plank in the platform
adopted.

Harry Wadsworth, president Local
2399, United Mine Workers, of Daisy
town, was elected chairman. In a
short address he stated the purpose
of the convention and why a labor
party was needed in Washington
County. Fred Siders, Ayella coal
miner candidate for president Of Dist.
IS, U. NJ. W., pointed out some of the
main situations in which labor party
Of workers is most needed.
Paul W. Fuller, educational director
of Dist 2. u NJ. W., the main speaker,
was received with great deal of en-
thusiasm. He first explained work
ers' education and its value to work
ers in their fundamental problems, in
Guiding political action as well as In

He paid tribute to John Brophy.
president of Dist 2, U. M. w. and
candidate for international president,
by declaring him the only district
president of the miners who had vi
sion and courage to establish an ed
vocational department in his district.
Fuller expounded the nationalist
ton of mines program in detail. He
concluded with the statement that a
1909 union and a labor party were
essential, with naturalization, if the
miners ever expected to get decent
living out of coal
