THE CLOSED SHOP i} Packers and Employes Split on the; Question. Washington, Jan. 23.—Charges of bad faith were made by both sides yes- terday at the hearings before the presi-; dent's mediation commission of com-| plaints by union packing-house work-) ers that their employers have failed} to live up to the arbitration agree- | ment signed last month when a strike: was impending, Frank I). Walsh, counsel for the em- ployes, presented a proposal that both sides submit all the questions involv- ed in original agreement to decision by an arbitrator named by the council of national defense. He enumerated among these the demands for a basic eight hour day, an increase of $1 a day in wages, time and a half for over- time, double pay for Sunday work, same pay for women as men, prefer-| ence in employment for union men, and no discrimination between union! and non union men in the distribution of work. “We are willing to abide by the or- iginal agreement,” said James J. Con-} don, counsel for the packers, “but not to accept the closed shop, which you now are demanding.” There the matter rested after a day, of conference between the commission, counsel for the two sides and the pack- ers themselves, including J. Ogden Ar- tour, Edward F. Swift and Nelson Morris: ‘Sub-Committec of Republican Cen- WO0S WOMEN AND MAY PROPITIATE THE BULL MOOSE tral Body Conciliatory and Glad Handed BY MARGIN VOTE THE OLIVE BRANCH OFFERED Washington, Jan. 23,—cMasures in- tended to conciliate progressives and enlist women in party organization, were adopted Tuesday by a subcom mittee of the Republican National Ex- ecutive committee by a vote of five tc four after spirited discussion. The final recommendations, which will be presented to the national ex- ecutive committee at St. Louis Feb. il, one'day before the meeting of the central commitee, were that the cam- paign committee of 1916, consisted of the executive committee and six pro- gressives, be continued for congres- sional elections next year; that this campaign committee and the advisory committee of progressives who assist- ed republicans in the 1916 campaign, be invited to participate in the party conference at St. Louis, and that an advisory committee of women be creat- ed for future party compaigns. The five supporting these measures were Chaigman William R. Willcox, A. The request of the workers for gov- ernment operation of the plants dur. ing the war was lost sight of in dis-, cussion cf the arbitration dispute which precepitated it. Mr. Walsh dec-! lared, however, that the proposal will be presented to the president. Opposifon of the packers to seizure of their plants will be based on the contention that such action is unnec-| brook of New Hampshire. essary in view of their co-operation, committee was appointed more than a with the government.

Garfield, pract: ly alone, success- fully organized the Cleveland Trust Company, one of the soundest banking institutions in Ohio. His constructive ability was responsible for the suc- cessful launching of the Cleveland Mu- nicipal Association, of which he was first president, His work at Williams College where he served as_ president for several years, marked a new era in the.admin- istration ofthe affairs of that institu- tion. Years ago he first became interested in the coal industry. He was instru- mental in opening a rich coal field in southeastern Ohio and organized a syn dicate which built 30 miles of rail- road to bring the output of the Piney Fork coal mine to market. Garfield is 54 years old, the eldest son of ex-president James A. Garfield. He graduated from Williams College in 1885 and taught Roman history at St. Paul’s School, Concord, N. H., the next year. The appeal of the law took him ‘to Columbia and later to Oxford University and the London Inns of Law. He practiced law in Cleveland for many years, giving up a lucrative practice in 1903 when President Wil- son, then president of Pri ed him the chair of politics there.

DIRECTOR LOOKS ASKANCE AT PLAN TOEMBARGORAIL Fuel Administrator Asks Priority for Coal but McAdoo is Hesitant WEATHER CONDITIONS BAD Railroads Show Net Decrease of Earnings of 21 Millioms in November. Washington, Jan. 28—An urgent recommendation that an embargo be declared for a few days on acceptance by the railroads of any freight ex- cept coal and food was submitted to Director General ‘McAdoo last night by the fuel daministration. This action is imperative, Adminis- trator Garfield said, to assure adequate movement of fuel during the balance, of the week, when the general trans- portation situation east of the. Miss- ippir tireatens to become worse daily owing to the prolonged strain on railroads of deep snows and in- tensely cold weather. Suspension Ends commission. ending with November aggregate net revenue amounted to $1,099,344,000 as compared with $1,143,571,000 in transportation without priority and without embargoes. Coal Transportation The necessity for some new meth- | cd of dealing with the coal transporta- tion problem was emphasized today by scores of reports that weather condi- tions were as bad or worse than at any time since the unprecedented per- iod of Gold and stormy weather start- ed nearly. two weeks ago. Heavy snow throughout New York and New Eng- land, in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, ! and elsewhere, made traffic movement! extremely slow and cut the supply of; empty cars to coal mines far below even the sub-normal supply of the last few days. The bright phase of the situation} was a report of Dr. Garfield that ships were being bunkered more rapidly than last week, and that coal was go- ing in sufficient quantities to domes- tic consumers. These were the main purposes of the industrial curtailment order of five days ago, Dr. Garfield said. EARNINGS DEEPLY. CUT Twenty-one Million Less Than Same Month in 191:,.
