McGUl loader of Walk out, Is Suspended From City Job. TENANTS EUNNINO JjIFTS ColuwbU anrl N. Y. Tlniverslty Students Offer to Bocorao Operators. EI(rvators were mnnlng In all the downtown office buildings yesterday. Tho service was not always perfect, bat nobody was forced to walk. Bunding managers were unanimous In declaring that the striko was ns good as broken. Many strikers wero reported back at work. Union men said that they were, encouraged nnd that many owners nnd managers of buildings wens asking for a settlement, but most of thoso who have so far granted the demands of the union are in lofts. It was learned yesterday that Thomas J. Mcaill, president of the Elevator 6 tart era and Operators Union nd direc tor of the present strike, is drawing a salary ot fl.tOO a yoar from the city for being starter at the Municipal Building. Clarence II. Fay, Commissioner of Public Works, suspended McGIIl early last night after charges of absence without leave And conduct prejudicial to tho best Interests of the sen-ice had been preferred against him by Frank II, Hlncs, Superintendent of Public Bulldlnes and Offices. McGIIl admitted he had nrnde a serious mlstako in being absent without leave. He said he was trying to prevent a general strike andi WTect a settlement McGIIl had applied for a sick leave about tho time the strike was called. Last Thursday night at the meeting at Arlington Hall, where the strike vote was taken, McGIIl presided and made a speech urging the men to leavo their grievances in the hands of tho commit tee for another day. But when they refused, and -voted to leave their posts early the next morning, McGIIl pledged them his support and since then has personally directed the strike. Women got their wartime elevator jobs back m even greater numbers than on the first day of the strike. A ma jority of the operators nt the Wool worth Building now are women. Tho atartcr there said that the tenants were eo well pleased with the Improved eer vlce that many operators had been pre sented with bosquets of flowers. Man agers of buildings where .women ore em ployed were speclalty optimistic over tho situation. They say that women operators are more popular with the tenants and generally are more depend able than men. Flockinc Bncb to Potia. For the most part those who went on strike Friday aro stayng out in those buildings where a settlement has not been made. In some nlaces. however. It was reported that Uie strikers were flocking back to their posts. As on the first day. there was no scarcity of volunteers yesterday. Ton- ants wno had to wolk several flights Friday wore ready and anxious to master the mysteries of running a lift wheh is considered about a two hour course, for one of average intelligence. In most of the office bulldlncs In the financial districts the building superin tendents were acting as elevator starters nna tneir lorco or operators was made up of tenants, porters, engineers and professional strikebreakers. The union men say they are not alarmed over this. They say that superintendents will get disgusted with the work In two or three days and will help tho men obtain their demands. More than 2,0C0 strikers met in the afternoon at the Stuyvesant Casino. where Thomas J. McGIIl, 'president of the .levator Starters and Operators Union, explained to Uie men that Uicy were to form "flying squadrons" for the purpose of rounding up union men and doing picket duty. There will be an other meeting at the Casino, 140 Second nvenue, at 11 o'clock this morning. Every operator in the city who Is sUck ing to his Job will be visited by a com mittee of strikers and asked to Join them. A committee of women, strikers will call upon the women who are now running elevators. , McGIU told tho men that not an ele- .vator would be running by Wednesday If their demands were not met Ho said 2.000 new members had been token into tho union and Uiat about that number had been allowed to go hack to work In buildings where the demands for more money' have been granted. McGIIl said tbat he was busy all day arranging with building managers to get their men back. Employers Are Standing; Firm. The Building Managers and Owners AssoclaUon and the Real Estate Owners Association are both standing firm In their original refusal to recognise the union. Officials of the. two organisa tions said last night that there was no reason why they should change their stand, as the striko was falling rapidly. Most of the downtown office buildings are represented In one of these associa tions. ' Students from New York and Columbia universities havo volunteered to help break tho strike if It becomes serious. Forty-five volunteers from New York University will report to-morrow morn ing- nt the Equitable Building, it was announced yesterday. The Equitable was the first big building to be hit hard by the strike. Its service has been be low normal ever since the strike was called.

He mentioned Representatives Ferris and Carter, both of Oklahoma, as members who would wear overalls next week. "A' mail In overalls lias always been my hero," said Mr. Upshaw.

President Wilson will decide personally whether the United States Is to be represented at the San Rcmo conference of the allied Powers. An official Invitation to par ticipate has been submitted to the Presi dent for final action by Secretary of State "Colby. It has been expected that the United States would be represented by an "ob- servor." This country has not been officially represented In the peace con ference since Under Secretary of State Polk left Paris in December. Ambas sador Wallace has been present at some of the meetings in uio capacity oi ou server. The United states will lane no part In tho conference which is now In progress at Copenhagen between repre sentatives ot tho British Gbvernmcnt and H.

France Holding; Out. It Is becoming clear that the Soviet Government Is endeavoring to take ad vantage of the eager desire on the part or the allied Govorhtiients, notably Great Britain and Italy, to manoeuvre those Governments into the first steps looklnc to recognition of the Soviet Government Against this programme France Is opposed unalterably ona win maintain Its opposition presumably un til the Soviet or somo other Govern ment recognizes the validity of the large debt owing French nationals. The outcome of tho Copenhagen con ference, In which Edmund Wise repre sents the British Treasury, is expected to depend Jaigcly 6n the Sah Remo con- rerence wnere auieu ramonn wim Russia in general will be considered care fully. It Is apparent that the Soviet Govern ment of Russia, which at nrst was at elrous of opening trade relations with the rest of tho world, now has decided that this instrument cannot be used to obtain political recognition. Kriuttn Is a bferman. Because of Hie political importance ot the present negOtlaUonl, the American Government has interested Itself in the personality of M. Krassln, who Is rep resenung thb Soviet.
