But cautious and conservative delegates to the somewhat feverish convention elicited the depressing information that a governing body of the organization is not in financial position to support a strike for any length of time. Nor are the subsidiary groups in most cases either. Notwithstanding this, which would seem to be an unsurmountable handicap, the convention by a large majority ordered the strike in the most mandatory fashion, and amid the wildest enthusiasm.

There are wage difficulties, troubles over working hours and other content ions characteristic of labor disturbances in the past. The main grievance, however, seems to be discrimination against workers because of their union affiliation. But the redoubtable Gen. Hugh S.

An agreement should be reached to pass a bill reapportioning the Congress districts of the State, chiefly in the interest of Brooklyn, Queens and all of Long Island. 2. The deadlock over relief measures for hundreds of thousands of mortgage certificate holders, chiefly in Brooklyn and Queens, should be broken. All yesterday and today, according to late reports from the Capitol, efforts have been under way to meet the suggestions made by the Brooklyn Times Union yesterday to solve the mortgage tangle. It was one of the chief objects of the present extraordinary session.

The gathering of the lawmakers should not be permitted to come to a close until some measure of relief is afforded. Brooklyn lawmakers, notably Assemblyman Daniel J. MfN'amara of the Bay Ridfre section of Brooklyn, one of the most earnest and effective workers in this field, and Senator Philip M. KleinaSeld of the Bath Beach-Coney Island area, a member of the special mortgage commission, have taken a prominent part in the many efforts to find a solution. They should labor on until the final hour tonieht.

secretary of that organization Mr. Moses expressed his willingness to discuss all phases of this new development. Mr. Dalton said, but left it to the members of the organization whether the matter should be presented to a representative committee or to a mass meeting of all those interested in or opposed to th project. Mr.

Dalton asserted that he believe. the majority were in faor of the causeway improvement because they realized that any project of this scope undertaken by the Park Department would be most efficiently executed and would not prove de'rimental to that section of the city. The officers and committee heads of the league decided last night to invite Mr. Moses to attend a mass meetins in the James Madison H. S.

Smith is so interested in the stripping of the powers from the borough governments. Has he taken the retainer of the interests that have been fighting all along to subordinate Brooklyn, and who are now in despair because Brooklyn's voting strength has become so great? I am sure his plan is foredoomed to defeat. He has been GRANDMOTHER WINS less to do. At the same time unemployment has made it more and more difficult for young people to find jobs, and so they have gone on further into high school. Now the NRA codes have forbidden many industries to give employment to boys and girls, and so the gain in high school registration has become much greater than the decrease in elementary school figures.

All this was discussed the other day by Superintendent of Schools Harold G. Campbell in Fannie Cienlak, vf, neceive Munc School Prix, solely with the Senate. The Republicans, led by Senator George R. Fearon, count 24 votes, with the support of Senators Joseph D. Nunan and Frank B.
