Two hundred employees of the Smyser
Machine Works, at 12J John street,
Brooklyn, went on strike yesterday with
tho workers who are out at the Arbuckle
Brothers Company sugar refinery. Tho
strike there has been In' progress for
two days and it Is claimed by union

the Arbuckle strike Is settled.
Tho atrlkors said the Arbuckle re
finery was completely tied up yesterday.
They also charged that natives of the

Lima, Peru, Oct. 11. Following the
promulgation of a governmental decree
providing for the compulsory arbitration
of all labor disputes, the Industrial sltua

The decree, which was based on the con.
stltutlonal amendment approved In the

country, compels labor leaders to notify
authorities as to their demands. follow-In-
which an arbitration board will, be
formed, , a period of twenty-four hours
being given for the appointment of such
board.
Decisions by the arbitration board are

party to a controversy to abide by the
result Is punishable by arrest and Im
prisonment. Newspapers expect to re
sume publication at once after a week's
suspension.
WASHiNOTOjf, Oct. 11. Declaring that
labor could not escape responsibility for
much of the Increase In living costs
since last March, and that curtailment
of production Is responsible for much of
the present Industrial situation, Sena
tor Calder of New York to-day In the
Senate called on the present Industrial
Conference not to forget that the In
terests of capital and labor are subor
dinate to the Interests of the general
public.
The conference cannot be a success.
tfco New Tork Senator said. If only tem
porary measures of relief are provided
and If steps are not taken to go to"
the very heart of the trouble. Every
act of the conference, he declared, should
be based on the public Interest and on
industrial stability.
Sketching the present situation. Sena
tor Calder said:
"At the cessation of hostilities prices
had risen, according to the llureau of
Labor statistics, to 107 per cent, above
pre-war levels. On tho early prospects
of an abundance of labor and possible
overproduction, prices receded by
March, 1919, to 98 per cent over the
pro-war level. Labor, however, was de
termined to' hold the status quo In
wages and working commons, or make
them even (more favorable. Strikes
were of Increasing frequency until we
ore having an unprecedented numbtr
of them.

producing idleness, lack of effort and
reduced output. During the six months
succeeding the armistice the production
of peace commodities, even with the
release of machinery and labor from
war production and with the returning
soldiers to recruit the force of pro
ducers, has been estimated by some
authorities as but half the production
of peace commodities during the six
months preceding the armlsltce, when
our maximum effort was concentrated on
war activities.
"There are other Influences of course
the ;deral Trade Commission asserts
one of these Is the abuse of storage
facilities and possibilities entering Into
the Increasing costs of living, but labor
disturbances, resulting In decreased pro
duction, have largely been responsible for
sending the price level up again, untir
to-day It is 128 per cent, above the prices
current at the beginning of the war, an
Increase of 30 per cent. In six months.
No Escape for Lull or.
tLabor2 cannot escape the respon
sibility for much of this Increase. In
living costs from 98 per cent In March
to 128 per cent. In September. Tho
effects of currency Inflation and of ex
port business had largely spent them
selves by March and cannot properly be
counted as factors In the Increase In
living costs from March to September.
The lack of production Is the major
cause, and this has resulted In the main
because labor has ceased to produce and
has brought Ite economic power to bear
on the solution of what it holds to .bo a
more equitable division of the wealth
already extant.
'While we are quarrelling we are
consuming, and soon the monkey of con
tention will have consumed the cheose.
and If at last .we agree on an equitable

to divide. Every one In his senses realizes.
that we should bo creating new weaiui
rather than concerning ourselves with
divisions of wealth already created.
Whether such division bo made through
barter, speculation or wage adjustments,,
still It is dividing and not creating.
"Public welfare clamors for Increased
production at once; Industrial welfare
demands a permanent policy of bargain
ing, so that the minimum of uncertainty
as to future costs be had."
Senator Calder declared It would be
better to defer attempts to meet the
situation thanito devise temporary reme

Washington, Oct. 11. Washington Is
being beset by fears of a blowup and ut
ter .failure of tho National Industrial
Conference as a result of lack of prog
ress and the apparent opposing Interests
of employers and employees. That there
la no real basis for this pessimism Is
plain even to a superficial observer,
much less those who have given close at
tention to the conference and' Its devel
opments. There Is scarcely a delegate to
the conference who Is not honestly optl
mlstio as to the outcome and outspoken
In his or her beliefs.
Tho conference Is beyond doubt facing
a serious problem In the steel strike
settlement resolution of the labor group.
Members of the conference who aro the
moving spirit In the effort to bring re
sults are a unit In scofllng.the Idea that
there Is any such thing as an Impasse or
even a situation approaching one.
They point out not for quotation
that thoso who expected labor and capi
tal would bring the same viewpoint to
the conference or that they would
reach a common viewpoint even before
discussion In the conference was under
way, to put It mildly, need something
by way of Industrial or economic educa
tion.' They are inclined to laugh over
the apparently serious statements that
labor and capital aro far apart and
both determined and unwilling to make
any concessions.
Real Start Not Yet BLdc.
Ono of the leaders In the conferencn
movement and an active participant
pointed out to-day that neither capital
nor labor, employers or employees, have
had a good opportunity yet to unbend,
and that" much has been and will be ac
complished In this direction In a short
time.
Up to the present time employers
and employees have each advanced a
set of principles. ' As usual there am
some uncontested points in each, but for
tho major part they represent opposing
positions, but lack anything startling,
new or radical. Neither the conference
nor tho general committee of the con
ference has yet reached discussion of
these principles and has made no at'
tempt to bring together the opposing
views stated.
In this situation many delegates who
were In Washington to-day, while ob
Jocttng to an exposition of personal
views, agreed that there was scant foun
datton for repeated reports that the con
ference faced disaster and could only be
saved by an appeal to the President.
So far as could be learned there has
been no definite move made by tho con-
fevtr.co for an appal to the President or
for any form of. reorganisation. Xhere
are thoso who are frankly determined to
reform the rules of procedure, if pos
etble, to break up continued and binding
group action on every subject.
It was learned on good authority to
day that there Is an apparent preponder
ance of opinion among the employers'
croup that nothing could be gained
through an appeal to the President, at
least so far ns the employers are con
cerned. They take the position that
there Is thorough understanding of the
purpose of the conference, and that It
could not be further enlightened. This
position Is taken with regard to the
conference, however, and not the steel
strlKer
The forces of lapor represented In tho
conference might obtain sympathetic sup-
port from the President on the steel
strlko issue, as the Chief Executive has
made his pfiltlon plain. Ho urged set
tlement by arbitral. n before the confer
ence met. lJecause of opposition from
the employers and possibly from the
public group, however, It seems that any
nppeal to the President on the steel
strike resolution would come from the
labor representatives and not from tho
conference.
Interest In organized labor's effort to
obtain Intervention by the conference In
the steel strike shifted to-day to New
loric ana steel centres, wnere members
of the steering committee of fifteen
which came to a deadlock over the reso
lutlon yesterday, are endeavoring to se
cure sufficient concessions from the stoel
corporations to enable tho committee to
agree upon a report to lay before the
conference Tuesday.
Members of the committee) here pointed
out that conference action would be use
less unless the United States Steel Cor
poration was willing to accept mediation
by the conference and agree to relnstato
the striking workmen pending the report
or tne adjudication committee of six pro
posed by (Mr. Gompers.
Judge E. II. Gary returned to New
York yesterday following the session of
the conference, and Is expected to confer
w(th the directors of the Steel Corpora
tion, of which he is chairman.

Big Sum, Is Charge.

the War Claims Board In settling Gov
ernment war contracts with the Standard
Steel Car Company, of Hammond, Ind.,
allowed the company Jl, 832, 654 more
than It Is entitled to was made before
the House War Department Expendi
tures Committee to-day by L. J. Blakey,
Government cost accountant. During
the war Mr. Blakey was Government
Accountant In the car company's plant.
Evidence was also presented by Mr.
Blakey purporting to show that Col. Ev
erett S. Hughes, ordnance officer, who
negotiated the contract and Its settle
ment, withheld from the board Mr. Blak
cy's audit of the company's war work,
Which shows the Government should
have paid the company $1,167,346, In
stead of $3,000,000, as has been done. In
addition he claimed that the company
all during the war misrepresented Ha
production costs.
"Tho Standard Bteel Car company,"
he Bald, "received a 'procurement order
for tho manufacture of gun carriages
for 9 Inch howitzers, none of which
It completed before tho armistice, but
00 of which were completed after tne
armistice, at a total cost to the Gov
ernment of $59,000 each, although they
cost to build less than $30,000 each.
The company withheld records no that;
tho Government accountants were unable
to obtain nil the figures with exactness.
The War Department also permitted
the company to keep material which had
cost the Government $2,000,000 and
which Is needed and could be used by
the Watortown Arsenal, for which the
company allowed tho Government only
$100,000."

SEES SOLUTION OF

l'luns for Outside Proposals,
Proposals sent by the League for In
dustrlal Bights to the conference were
made public to-day. The conference
has decided that proposals of this na
ture from outside agencies will be fur
nished each of the three groups, which
are at liberty to bring them up for die
cusslon In the regular way.
One of tho measures proposed would
mane It unlawful for any. person or cor
poratlon to "support any strike, lock
out or other kind of Industrial welfare,'
before the parties Involved have had time
to act upon the terms demanded. An
other would make It a misdemeanor
for policemen or firemen to affiliate with
any labor union not composed exclus
Ivoly of fellow employees.
The three women members of the
nubllo group began formulating de

Prof. Emerson Shows by Anal
ogy Mistakes Being Made.
Greater attention to the natural bio
logical laws by which humanity exists
was proposed as tho remedy for the pres
ent Industrial unrest by Prof. Harring
ton Emerson In an address last evening
on "Those Economic Principles We Must
All Grasp to Correct tho Crooked Think
ing That Extends from President to Pau
per," at the first bi-monthly conference
of the National Association of Employ
ment Managers, held In tho Pennsylvania
Hotel.
Prof. Emerson contended that collec
tive bargaining by either capital or labor
would fall at this time without a code of
morality to which either party might
turn for precedent. A code, he said,
might be devised by a commission con
sisting of such men as Cardinal Mercler,
Gen. Gorgas and Charles W. Eliot, presi
dent emeritus of Harvard, who would re
spectively advise capital and labor on mo
rality. Hygiene and vocational aptitude,
Both employees and employers are to
day Issuing ultimatums to one another
on -which neither Is qunllfled to pag, but
with which such ' a commission could
deal, he said.
"Dr. Eliot Is aa great an authority
on education as he is not a great au
thority on profit sharing," Prof. Emer
son said.
The professor reduced to-day's In
dustrial situation by a series of anal
ogles to elements comparable to those
making up the human body and even
went so far ae to say that the Steel
Corporation had a "heart."
A collapse equalled only by that of
present day Ilusela was predicted by
him unless the nation would turn for
Its advice to men suited to deal with
the phases of human and biological re
lationships.

ENTERTAIN BRITISH
SOCIAL WORKERS
This winter Is golngTb.be a nipper.
It won't bo as savage' as" the chronic
blizzard oM917, but It will be a whole
lot colder than last winter,'
EllaB B. Dunn says so and Ellas has
been right often, enough (as weather
prophets go) to compel respect for his
prognostications. When he paid his
seasonal visit to Tub Sun early last
June he opined that the country was In
for a cooltsh summer. His calculations
proved to his satisfaction that the mer
cury wouldn't climb above 90 degrees
more than ten times In the whole sum
mer and probably wouldn't get that high
more than six times. It went above 90
Just six times.
Farmer Dunn everybody calls him
Farmer" since the days before 1898
when he was the official weather prophet
In New York made his pre-wlnter call
on The Sun last night and submitted
the prediction of a long, cold spell be
ginning the latter part of this month
and enduring until about the middle of
May.
"Deductions from my system of sea
sonal forecasting Indicate," said the
Farmer, "that the coming winter will be
long and cold, with heavier and more
frequent snowfalls than tne average
winter brings. Freezing temperatures
are likely to begin the latter part of
October and will continue urilll about
May 12. The cold will be relieved occa
sionally by short periods of mild
weather, periods of two or three days
at a time. I reckon that tho minimum
temprature will not get below sero
more than three times, however,"
Like most all wizards, the Farmer
is clos'emouthed about his methods of
wizardry. He calculates upon the basis
of the records of many years fifty or
sixty and takes into consideration the
peculiarities of the current year. He
sniffs at the hit or miss methods of
nature, faker wizards, guesses based on
the observations of squirrels storing
nuts earlier than usual, because ho dis
covered years ngo, bo says, that such
methods nrd very fallacious.
"When I was In tho Government ser
vice," sa,ld Farmer Dunn, "we spent a
lot of time and money collecting a record
of these local, rustic superstitions. We
made a list of all the farmers' beliefs
and tho sailors' beliefs, and we submitted
them to Investigation. The result was
.that wo found that they Just don't work
out. The study of weather is an exact
science -which cannot be left to squirrels
or nuts."
Prudent people would do mighty well
this fall to lay In a big coal supply early,
Farmer Dunn thinks, and to take other
reasonable precautions against the stiff,
sharp winter he believes to be due.

WHIT HIS LAST HOPE
Well Dressed Wifo Listens to
Plea With Air of Indifference.
A pitiable figure Btdod before Justice
Hendrlck of the Supreme Court In the
latter"s chambers yesterday afternoon
and pleaded for his freedom. The man
waB collarless and his shirt was worn
threadbare nnd patched In several places.
His clothing, also patched In many
places and worn thin, seemed to hang
on his spare frame. Dark circles around
his eyes accentuated the unnatural pal
lor of his face. His only offense was
the lack of $500 or friends who would
be willing to go surety for him for that
amount
The man was David Qoldhaber, -frequently
referred to by the officials In
charge of the Ludlow street Jail as the
president of the Alimony Club. He Is
the oldest member of that unique gath
ering, having been ,in Jail since April,
although six months' confinement Is sup
posed to be the limit, and unless he
obtains the relief he seeks through the
habeas corpus writ upon which Justice
Hendrlck heard arguments yesterday he
may bo forced to remain In prison ror
the rest of his life.
Tears streamed down his face as he
extended his hands to tho Justice, de
spair was written on his face and In his
nvery movement. His eyes sought the
floor as he brushed his face with the
back of his hand. With one shoo he
tried to cover ur a hole In the other
throuKh which his bare foot could be
seen. The clothing he woro , comprised
thft sum total of his possessions.
"Please help mo, Judge," he pleaded.
'I cannot help myself while I am In
Jail. Let me go again as a free man and
I will do anything she wants me to do."
Across the Toom eat a well dressed
woman. Her clothing was of good qual
ity and About her neck was an expen
sive summer fur. She listened to the
Irian's entreaties with an air of Indiffer
ence which amounted to boredom. Sho
was Mrs. Anna Qoldhaber of 148 Essex
street, on whoso complaint her husband
was arrested and 1b being deprived of
his liberty,
Qoldhaber rwaa arrested for contempt
when he failed to pay his wlfo the ali
mony' awarded In a separation suit.
Justice Tlerney placed liU surety at
$500, and when It became apparent that
the man could not, provide this bond
after he had been In Jail for several
months Samuel E. Miller, an attorney
of 90 Nassau street, became Interested
In the case and took up cudgels In bo-
half of Qoldhaber to tvohlm from life
Imprisonment.
A habeas corpus writ was taken out.
Justice Hendrlck listened, to the argu
ments, frequently expressing surprise
that such a condition should be possible
In a matrimonial action. When Mrs.
Qoldhaber refused ' to relent the court
reserved decision. Goldhaber was re
turned to the Ludlow, street Jail.

How to make 15 to 1 adjustment
After filling the gasoline tank
with Tydol, run tho engine until
warm. Then lift tho hood.
Turn tho gas adjustment on tho
carburetor, decreasing gradually tho
flow of gasolino.
When the engine begins to slow
down, turn the gas adjustment back,
increasing the flow slightly until you
get a maximum engino speed.
This will givo you tho 15 to 1 adjust
ment. If you have a "rich" and
"lean" adjustment on tho dashboard
?ou can use an even leaner adjustment
han the abovo.
On hills and in traffic use thq rich
dash adjustment; on tho level or in
the country use tho lean.
This assures maximum mileage and
minimum carbon with Tydol.
Tydol will operato on tho rich mix
ture needed by inferior gasoline.
But Tydol is made so you can use
the 15 to 1 mixture less fuel and
