BROOKLYN DAILY CONTRACTORS TELL HOW "CZAR" BRINDELL EXACTED HUGE TRIBUTE OR RUINED THEM; BRITISH STRIKE OFF; MEN VOTE ON TERMS WAGE BOARD WILL BE FINAL OF MINE DEMANDS Union Leaders Urge Men to Accept Temporarily British Government's Terms.

London, Oct. 28 (by the Associated Press) -The strike of coal miners throughout England was settled this afternoon, but the settlement is contingent on a ballot of the miners. Frank Hodges, a member of the miners' executive body, announced: "We have got terms from the Government which the executive is submitting to a ballot of the men for their iudgment. The executive are recommending their adoption as a temporary measure until a national wage board ig established." The terms which the executive body of the miners is recommending to the men provide for an advance of 2 shillings per shift for persons of 18 years of age with a corresponding advance for younger miners. The miners, pledge themselves to co-operate the fullest extent to obtain all increased output.

The Government issued a statement similar to that of Mr. Hodges, adding that the ballot of the men would be taken immediately. The provide that the increased wages will remain operative until a permanent wages board is established, which will be operative by the end of March. The additional cost of the miners' claims will come out of the excess revenues obtained from the export of coal. The output for last September is the average struck which will influence the rise or fall of a sliding scale which is 10 operate to the extent of it sixpence reduction in wages if the output does not come up to the September figures or a rise of snxpence if the output is bigger.

Wanted- -A Cook Evanston, Woman Advertises in Paris Paper for One. 53 Rue Cambon. By GUY HICKOK. (Staff Correspondent of The Eagle.) Paris, Oct. 12-A.

woman in Illinois is advertising in Paris newspapers for a cook. Her scheme for solving the servant problem in America shows initiative and originality. She offers pay the cook's passage from Paris to Evanston, and to give the girl $18 a week when she gets there. Eighteen dollars a week may not seem much to an American cook; but a French girl is doing well if she gets that much a month. It amounts to quadrupling her salary.

Furthermore, an up-to-date American kitchen is a paradise compared with the cramped, ill-equipped cuisine of Paris. French cooks have to carry their own refuse downstairs -there are no dumbwaiters to do it for them. They have to rustle up their own coal from the cellar hand and rustle the ashes down again. They have no refrigerators to keep things cool and the plumbing of their kitchens is primitive. To an American woman a French kitchen seems especially devised for making housework as difficult and time-wasting as possible.

The French girl who gets this Illinois job will feel that she is being paid to be happy--that is, if her American employers are as much better than her French employers as the kitchen and salary are to the French kitchen and salary. Here is the advertisement: COOK. French-Young woman as cook for large family in American home with modern conveniences; transportation furnished; salary $18 per week; references exchanged. Mrs. A.

28-Senator Harding, who opened his final campaign swing last night with four speeches to Cleveland audiences, spent most of today quietly at a hotel here, resting and conferring with local Republican leaders. A ride and a luncheon at the Cleveland Country Club were the only engagements on the nominee's program before his departure in the afternoon for Akron, Ohio, where he is to speak tonight. Mother Fails to Win Back Josephine Immordino's Love Supreme Court Justice Arnon L. Squiers will have to render a Solomonic judgment on Oct. 31 in a situation which is extraordinary in legal annals.

The issue is one of mother love against the love of a child. Ten years ago Mrs. Mary Immordino, of 634 40th was left a widow with a little child, Josephine, now 15 years of age. placed the little girl in the care of an aunt, Mrs. Michael Jerachi, who took care of her until, after the lapse of years, Mrs.

Immordino wanted the child back. Right there rose a unique situation. The little girl had learned to love her foster parents. Mrs. Immordino appealed to Justice Squiers, who found himself faced with a knotty problem.

Then he proved that he was indeed a Daniel in wisdom. He gave Mrs. Immordino two months in which to win back' the love of Josephine. the two months are drawing to a close. What arts the mother has employed to regain the affections of her daughter have not been revealed but apparently she has been unsuccessful for the little girl says that she prefers to stay with her aunt.

Ryan contributed more to the Cox campaign fund today to "express his opinion of the decency of the Republican subsidized journalism that resulted in the publication of the blasphemous 'immaculate conception' cartoon" in George Harvey's Weekly and the National Republican. Ryan made the gift after a talk with Democratic National Chairman White at National Headquarters this morning. The sum makes total of $40.000 that Ryan has a contributed to the Democratic fund since the publication of the cartoon. and since he previously given $5,000, his grand totai of gifts to the Cox cause is $45,000. He announced his gift by making public a letter he had written to White in which he described the explanation of the publication made vesterday by Republican Chairman Hays as lame apology." At the same time Mr.

White made public a ment Lathrop from of the Rev. John Church of the Saviour, Unitarian, Brooklyn. Dr. Lathrop said: "This cartoon. from whatever angle it may be considered, is an extreme and offensive sacrilege to all Christian minded people.

But, if, in the minds of the Republicans, the League of Nations is comparable to the 'Immaculate they have given it praise indeed. Moreover, I believe the Nation will be spontaneous in its favor when it clearly understands how low its opponents have stooped in making attaches upon cartoon it." represents Cox seeking to hang up, a picture representing the League Nations as the heart of Uncle Sam and entitled "'Prof. Wilson's Nations, the Immaculate Conception." Hays explained last night that it had been drawn by a man named Reid, who is employed to get out publican cartoons for the National Committee. but that telegrams requesting papers not to publish it were sent out by Scott C. Bone, director of publicity, as soon as he saw it.

Despite this it appeared in the National Republican and Harvey's Weekly. Ryan described the latter, in his as "a purchased organ of the Republican National Committee," and adds: "I have since learned that the not only sent out this cartoon in its free press service, but that it was printed in the Oct. 9 issue of the National Republican, also a subsidized organ of the Republican National Committee. The Postoffice Department reports show that this organ is owned by Mr. Hays, Mr.

Weeks, Mr. Hilles, Mr. Adams, Mr. McKinley and others now actively engaged in managing the Republican campaign. Thus this shameful cartoon ran a very gantlet of Republican approval, ending at last with the encomium of him who Senator Harding declares to be one of America's greatest minds; who claims that Senator Harding was nominated in his room and through his astute planning; who is a frequent and welcome guest in Senator Harding's house, and who will continue to be his confidant and advisor if he is elected.

I refer to George Harvey, as recently as Tuesday evening the confidential dinner companion of Mr. Hays himself, on which occasion they presumably discussed how to escape the consequences of approving sacrilege as political argument."

ALL EUROPE "WHAT OF ASKS ROLAND BOYDEN American Financier at Brussels Gives Europe's Waiters a Cold Douche- -No U. S.

Money. Eagle Bureau, 53 Rue Cambon. By GUY HICKOK. (Staff Correspondent of The Eagle.) Paris, Oct. 14-Eleven out of twelve of the European countries which told their troubles to the Brussels inter.

national financial congress face a budget 'deficit for the coming year. The twelfth is Great Britain. This is one of the official conclusions of the congress made public from its permanent offices in Paris, Thirty -nine nations in turn placed statements of their thirty -nine respective kinds of financial difficulty before the congress. These statements ranged all the way from that of the one European country that can pay this year's bills out of this year's income. to laments of such abysmal bankruptcy as to be almost beyond the power of accountants to put in figures.

Big nations and little showed themselves afflicted with the same disease, differing only in the severity of the ailment. Most of them at the beginning wanted the same cure--a loan from Uncle Sam, until Roland Boyden, our representative, gave them a rude awakening. Just to demonstrate that Europe had no monopoly of the financial troubles of the world the conference figured out that four out of five of all the 39 countries represented, whether European or not, were in same "the fix. Mr. Boyden, who gave wailing sufferers a cold shower at the beginning of the conference, takes a decidedly optimistic view of the situation.

His view is summed up in the three words. "What of it?" The Eagle man asked Mr. Boyden if it were not probable that some, at least, of the 39 countries would have to go through a process roughly comparable to bankruptcy before pulling out of the hole. To this Mr. Boyden replied: "I should be very much surprised if they did not." Though such a process would mean probable cancellation of the internal debt if, for example, America should announce that she would not make good on her outstanding Liberty bonds Mr.

Boyden was still optimistic. "We are used to thinking of such things as calamities," he said, "because we have not seen them happen. But look at Central and South American countries. "They used to go from bankruptey to bankruptey; and still were happy. Business went on.

Americans were still able to go there and clean up fortunes. Everybody had plenty to eat. None of the horrible things we think about now occurred." Mr. Boyden added that the fact that everyone had his own banana tree. however, simplified the problem very much for those countries, and that European countries with demoralized rail and river traffic and industrial cities depending upon rural products for food were in for a harder time.

"The Brussels conference may have done a little good," he said. do not think it did a bit of harm." NORWAY ADMIRAL IN COURT Harold A.

London, Oct. 28-The fight for the admission of Germany to the League of Nations is developing along the somewhat bitter and desperate lines foreshadowed in previous dispatches. There is no longer any doubt that it will be a burning issue at the Geneva assembly, and from all indications may develop into one of the biggest sensations of the League's infant existence. That the Germans are determined to push their claim for a seat among the nations is evident from the insistence with which they have been and are exploring and scrutinizing ground leading to their admission in Geneva.

More than one German scout has visited London headquarters of the League. Officials have been sounded out and approached with suggestions and questions. army of lobbyists has been mustered, by the Berlin government to follow the League officials the Swiss meropolis, where the propaganda will gO on. This is insistence on part of Germany appears to be taking all the aggressiveness of a fierce combat as the I ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWS COMPLETE STOCK MARKET HERE AND NOW Hardly had the profiteers squeezed lear old Public to death, when agents of the Dept. of Justice dashed up 'and began to search the victim for hip pocket flasks and income tax receipts.

Travis to Have Chance to Answer. Inquiry into the personal brokerage account of Deputy Controller James A. Wendell was begun when the investigation of the State Controller's office before Justice Kernochan in the Court of General Sessions, Manhattan, was resumed this afternoon. The probe was deferred this morning because Justice Kernochan was called upon suddenly to sit elsewhere. It has already been revealed in the investigation that Mr.

Wendell carried a $327.000 account with the firm of Clark, Childs Company, the carrying charges on which amounted to $3,000 a month. It is expected that the hearing will conclude this week. Assistant District Attorney Pecora, who has been conducting it, said today that Wendell would be the last witness called. He was not on hand today, but the investigation of his account proceeded without him. Controller Travis will be given an opportunity should he desire to avail himself of it to take the stand and answer the question, to which he previously refused to respond.

Whether or not he will purge himself of contempt should he do so, however, rests with the discretion of the Court. GOVERNMENT PAYS $567,812 FOR UPTON Following a report which was filed in the United States District Court in Brooklyn yesterday afternoon the Federal Government will take over the Camp Upton site property for the sum of $567,812.01. It has previously been paying a rental of a dollar a year. The report is made by a commission appointed by Federal Judge Martin Manton to appraise the land. Three commissioners who passed on the value of the land were former Supreme Court Justice Luke B.

Stapleton, William H. Good and William S. Downs. Each was granted $5,000 for his work on the commission. The land, which the Government receives as a result of the approval of this report, is a great stretch of territory on which Camp Upton was built and which was largely made habitable by the Army during its stay there.

Before the draft law sent thousands of men down there it was chiefly wood and swamp land, used for hunting rabbits. The report makes the largest award to the Young Metzger Realty Co. for seven parcels of land containing 5,976 acres and valued at 560.54. F. R.

C. BRAINERD. (Staff Correspondent of The Oct. 25-What the future holds for the Non- Partisan League, battling for the control of nine States, causes politicians of the old parties to speculate, whenever they can divert their minds from the Cox Harding competition. The League has cautiously avoided entering the field of national politics.

It has a national headquarters, but thus far enly for the management of campaigns within certain States. It is reaching out for State governments, for Senators and Congressmen, but not yet for a President. There is 110 question, however, that it has its eye on the Presidency as the ultimate goal. It cannot spread through many more States without making a bid for the electoral college. The election returns on Nov.

2 may go a long way toward indicating the growth of the League and its chances of developing into a true national party. Must Seek Alliances. But even if the returns are favorable, the Non-Partisan League will not be able to go ahead alone. It must seek alliances. It will want those who vote the Farmer -Labor ticket this year.

It will want the Plumb Plan League. It will want all of Organized Labor. It will appeal 10 radical groups, to foreign groups, anal to the Socialists. It will spread the gospel of government ownership of basic utilities and industries. It will unquestionably attempt a great amalgamation of all forces which are now either unattached to the old parties or which can be pried loose.

As an interstate organization the League is strong and rich. As a national proposition it has no identity. In one place it is Republican, in another Democratic, in another indepen. dent. But if the League is to advance into the national field it must necessarily achieve cohesion along national lines.

That is one of its future problems, the biggest of them all. The Farmer party will probably disappear after the present election. It has no important strength or unity. It may gravitate into the League, or a Continued on Page 3. 3 KILLED BY GAS; 3 MORE IN HOSPITAL Physician, Wife and Son Die.

The Rading had their apartment on the second floor of the building. Dr.

Radin was found dead on the floor of the bathroom. It is believed he went there for air when awakened by the depressing effect of the fumes and expired before he could summon assistance. His wife and son were found dead in their beds in an adjoining room. The three who were revived and taken to the hospital occupied furnished rooms in the basement near the compartment from which the gas fumes issued. Lena Blumberg and several other relatives of Dr.

Radin's family occupied the third floor of the house. None of them were overcome by the gas, although the fumes reached this floor, as well as the second, they were not so dense there.

The most amazing testimony, most incredible, regarding the power wielded by Robert P. Brindell, president of the Building Trades Council. among both employers and employees, was given to the Lockwood Joint Legislative Committee in the City Hall today, One witness, William Waixel, president of the Garden City Wrecking Company of Long Island City, told of an effort of Brindell to force him to employ Council members.

It resulted in Brindell's effecting a strike on every job handled by the George Fuller Construction Company, Waisel's employer, until Waixel was crushed. Another, Charles J. Wallace, of 23 E. 3d Brooklyn, told how, when he dared combat Brindell, his 000 business was ruined and he is now. through Brindell's efforts, unable 10 get any work at all.

William Zaranko, president of the Housewreckers Union, American Federation of Labor orKanization, which is near collapse 111 der Brindell's assaults, testified that Brindell had offered him a three-year job if he would turn the $7,000 in the union treasury over to him. An appeal WaS made to Hugh Frayne, general organizer of the A. F. of to help curb the power of Brindell.

"Brindell is was all Frayne would say. pow "He can call strikes them off at will. He is all -powerful Waixel's testimony showed the strength of Brindell when he told how the great constructing firm of George A. Fuller obeyed his every command. Waixel told the committee that he was blacklisted when he refused to use Council labor, and when finally compelled, he had to pay $1,000 for the permission.

Jacob Frabus, a general contractor, was the first' witness this afternoon that told the committee that Brindell demanded $25,000 of him to bolt a strike. Frabus had some engineers working on steam houses at 25th st. and 7th Manhattan. Brindell came by and ordered his engineers off. He went down to see Brendell at his office on St.

Mark's place and Brendell said: "Unless you pay this money you'll never finish that job. I can't work my business on chalk. For $25,000 I'll put those men back to work." Frabus said he was willing everything he knew because Brendell had put him out of business. Other witnesses told of Brindell's commands that his labor be employed, poor, inexperienced men, whose inefticiency increased the cost of work thousands of dollars and increased accidents. "Brindell fomreed me to fire my own men and to employ twenty he picked out.

He didn't ask if they were experienced. He asked only for $50 initiation fee. When asked their experience, I found that three were dishwashers, four deckhands and the rest. was railroad shown strikers," that no said contract Wallace. for demolition was let in New York until Brindell had 0.

It was shown that Brindell was in close touch with the Employers Association, that he met all of the conferees at the Employers Association offices. Charles J.

Kelly of the Employers Association and Brindell arranged at least one strike and were conferrees on the question of allowing oVranko's union to come into the council upon payment of all the funds in the Voranko union treasury. Was Czar in His Industry. Waixel told the most amazing of all the revelations that have come the committee's notice. According to his testimony, Brindell was little less than a czar in the housewrecking business. He issued orders to owners, contracting firms, subordinate contracting firms, and employees, they all obeyed.

He levied fees and they paid without hesitation. Waixel had had trouble with Brindell's Building Trade Council some time ago. His firm had been a mernber of a house wrecking employers association that was smashed by the Council because it refused to employ Council labor.
