The striking railroad shopmen in the metropolitan district experienced a@ setback to-day when the workers cn tug and ferryboats owned by the railroads refused to Yoin in a sym- pathetic strike. The plan of the strike leaders was to tle up the power houses and paralyze herbor traffic, both freight and passenger. ® Announcement was made yesterday from the strike headquarters in the Continental Hotel that the marine workers would join in the strike. ‘Thomas Healy, secretary and business agent of the Engineers’ Beneficial As- sociation, who has conducted all the recent strikes of the marine workers, said when told of the statements of tho railroad strike leaders: The “Engineers’ Beneficial Associa- tion, Local No. 38, wil not under any conditions or circumstances go out on strike to ald the shopmen, Our mem- bers have not forgotten their experl- ences in the outlaw strike of 1920, when these same shopmen through their brotherhood threatened, when a settlement of our differences with the railroads was in sight, to go out on strike if our men were taken back to work. During that strike they did everything to beat us. We certainly do not propose now to give them any support or help. “The propaganda that the marine workers would tie up New York rall- road ferryboats and inconventence the public has been used without any au- thority from this organization and is absolutely without foundation, as was the statement made by one of their leaders that some of our members had already gone out on strike. The New York public may feel assured that they will not be put to any hardships or privations through this organiza- tion going on a strike to ald the car- shop unions."* The strike leaders claimed to-day that the slackening up of train ser- vice last night, when: Long Island trains came into the Pennsylvania terminal from half an hour to three- quarters of an hour late and trains were late on other roads, was due to the reduction of forces in the power houses, especially in the big Long Island City Front Street power house, which furnishes electricity for (Continued on Fourth Page.) cokeaheaiiecmatenes OUST TAX RECEIVER FOR QUEENS COUNTY; ORDER BOOKS’ AUDIT Comptroller Craig announced to-day the removal from office of Anthony Moors, Receiver of Taxes of Queens County, Edward Smith, Chief Clerk has been placed in charge of the office and an audit of the books is under way, as a matter of form, the Comptroller's an- houncement says. ‘The reason given for the removal! of Mr. Moors is that he failed to report to the Comptroller a visit of inspection paid to his office a few weeks ago by four members of the Grand Jury. ———>—___. and Selections Page 2) (Racing Ent NEMBERS EEL_|(QQLLINS TRAPS DEVAL AT CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE CHIEFS prkale ante Reputable Brokers Seek to Compel Clean-Up of Institution.

A special meeting of the Consol- idated Stock Exchange has been called for 4 o'clock this afternoon to consider drastic reforms in the membership and methods of trading which have become prevalent in that body in the last ten years. An effort, it Is said, will be made to pass a resolution demanding the immediate resignation of all ex- ecutive officers of the Exchange from President W. S. Silkworth down. This will include the twenty-four members of the Board of Governors and the election of a new set of officers se- lected for thelr strict ideals amé their backbone. The special meeting has been called as the result of a “mass meeting” of the membership of the Exchange held informally and secretly afternoon. This which have made frequent protests against the toleration of alleged ir- regular practices by other members and against the admission to floor privileges, directly and indirectly, of firms of ill repute, Three members of the present Board of Governors were especially active in getting up the “mass meeting.” The first proposals put before the informal gathering of Friady was that a special meeting be held at which one or more executives and several members of the Board of Governors be asked to resign “for the good of the order.” One or two of those in- dicated were present. Individually each thought the others named would be doing a public service by getting out ‘‘but as far as I am concerned I don't see why I should get out.” Reference was made to the employ- ment at $5,000 a year of a near rela- tive of a prominent official of the ex- change by E.

DUBLIN, July 3 (Associated Press). —In their Sackville Street strong- holds, the remnant of the Republicans in ‘Dublin defying the authority of the Free State Government were making to-day what was believed to be their final stand. The attack upon them, begun last evening by the National Army troops, was resumed after an early morning lull with a terrific ma- chine gun bombardment from armored cars, a big fleet of which was engaged. The cars dashed up to the buildings where the Republicans were intrench- ed and poured volley after volley from machine guns and Thompson guns into the doors and windows, this pro- cess being kept up continuously, ‘The National Army Headquarters issued the following bulletin at % o'clock this afternoon: “The National forces continue to close in around the Irregulars in O'Connell (Sackville) Street and Gur- diner’s Place.
