MORGAN sues FOR
A LOST FORTUNE
But What Is S32,O00,000
Between Bankers

Injunction proceedings to restrain
the competition of the $3.50, 100000
Dodge Bros Chrysler Corporation
were successful yesterday on the part
of the Morgan interests who three
years ago were beaten by Dillon,
Read and Company in the bidding for
the Dodge Bros. Company then on the
market. The injunction was granted
late yesterday by Supreme Court JUS
tice Lydon pending a hearing before
Supreme Court Justice Mullan this
morning.
Shareholders under direction of the
J. P. Morgan banking interests claim
that the proposed exchange of stock
between the merging companies will
deprive them of their property.
Charges are made that the Dillon,
Read financiers made $32,OO0,O00 on
the deal. Smarting under this loss of
what the Morgan banks thought
would be their own revenue, the big
gest banking house in the world has
resorted to litigation which has ex-
tended over three years.

COLOMBO, Geylon, June 25.-The
Australian liner Jervis Bay, bound
from Australia to England, came into
port today accompanied by the Bri-
fish cruiser Suffolk, with eight per-
sons aboard ship in chains.
According to the captains state
ment, the eight now imprisoned
aboard the ship were stowaways, who
were found when the Jervis Bay was
about three days at sea. Upon their
being discovered the captain went on
to say, they became mutinous.. State
ments from passengers, however, are
directly contradictory to those of the
captain. They say that the stow
aways, upon being discovered, were
Immediately placed in Imprisonment
in a cabin, and were forced to go
without food for several days. This,
the passengers assert, was the cause

Five thousand copies of the Buffalo

ested citizens of the vicious filming
system, the long hours and the yell
low dog contracts in vogue at. the
Milfay hosiery mill. Union hosiery
workers were locked out several
months ago.

views efforts Of citizens committee

condemnation of the firms yellow

Even the ownership of the mill was
yelled behind dummy names to con-

the Milfay plant, were finally forced
to admit their responsibility for the
importation OF Observation-Disclosures;

WASHINGTON, June 25.-A move
by power trust propagandists to "get

EDICT HITS POST
OFFICE CLERKS

WASHINGTON, June 25, (FP)-
A circular issued by Assistant Post
master General Bartlett to all post
masters, instructing them as to APP
plying the new law granting 10 per-
cent additional pay to post office
clerks employed at night, says that
there must be no general readjust-
ment of work to reduce the proper
zion performed in night hours.
The Department fought the enact
ment of this legislation, which was
designed to place a punitive handi-
cap on night work, so that clerks
would be permitted to do more work
by daylight. Originally the National
Federation of Post Office Clerks tried
to secure law reducing the daily
hours Of clerks employed in the night
shifts. The bill now means only a
slight increase in pay instead of a
decrease in harmful working condi-
tions.

brought the total to 4S in. the .assort-
ment of padded payroll operators, ash
contract manipulators and other graf
ters in the 100000 900 Tanmany

At the same time it became known
that additional "higher-ups in the

though Commissioner James A. Hig-
gins before whom the hearings are
taking place again refused to make
the names public Higgins is be-
lieved to be planning a continuation
of his four weeks whitewashing

is to shield his Tammany fellow.
Higgins adopted his usual proce-
dure by declaring that the evidence
discovered will be turned over to the
district attorney, Charles j. Dodd of
Aings County some time during the
present week.
One of 4those suspended yesterday
was Richard Walsh, foreman of Sta

PALESTINE JEWS
HIT DEPORTATION

TEL AVN, Palestine, June 25.-
What a large percentage of the jew
ish population of Palestine considers
too free use of the power to deport
immigrants on slight pretexts by the
immigration authorities is arousing
protests in various parts of the coun-
try, according to reports received
here today.
Following a mass meeting here, at
which 10000 persons protested
against the proposed deportation of
four immigrant families for trivial
transgressions of red tape technical
tiles, a protest was cabled by the mu-
nicipality to the Colonial Office in

ALBANY, June 25.-Further CEN
tralization Of state power in accordance
with the program of Governor Al
Smith who is said in this respect to
be carrying out the definite program
of Wall Street, is seen in the second
part of a report on the state labor
department issued yesterday by Lind
say Rogers, Moreland Act Commits
sioner, named by Smith to 'investi-
gate" the department. The first part
of the report was made last week.
Rogers advises the elimination of
duplicating activities in the depart
ment and the centering of work I'M
der the Industrial Board instead of
as present divided between the In
dustrial Commissioner and the board.
More significant still is the recon-
mendation that the administration Of
the compensation bureau be run by
an advisory committee of insurance
company. representatives. While
stating that the rights of this bosses
board would be only advisory" it is
believed that the move is step in the
direction of cutting away what little
effectiveness still is contained in the
workingmens' compensation laws.
Rogers who is a personal friend
and right hand tool of Al.Smith also
criticizes the Industrial Survey Com
mission, republican whose activities
last winter forced Al Smith to insti-
tute this new investigation"

$4,000 Taxi Drivers
There are $4,000 taxi drivers in
the industry all of whom work under
these unbearable conditions for open
shop bosses subject to immediate dis
charge for any real or imagined rea-
son and subject also to the most bru-
tai discrimination from the police.
The Yellow Taxi Corporation, the
largest single operating company in
the industry, which is said to have
$500 men in its employ, is the chief
power in the Greater City Taxi Own
ers' Association and has likewise been
one Of the prime movers in the pro-
gram of discharges which is being
carried out The aim is said to be
an attempt to secure complete dom
nation of the industry through fore
ing out twenty thousand men, tenn
porary reduction in rates and finally
an increase in the percentage when
the men have been eliminated.
The Yellow Taxi Corporation is
controlled by the Morgan interests
and some of its officers are known
to be closely connected with the Tam
many Hall administration. This rea-
son is given by many drivers to ac-
count for the simultaneous drive
which is going on by the police to
forfeit drivers licenses. The drivers
are under complete police control.

Owners Association is also the vice
president and general manager of the
