TRICKS ARE RESORTED TO OPEN SHOP STATED CAUSE Automobilists Somehow .Manage to Get "Gas" and Some Clever Venders Make Money. Contractors Say Little Wprk In Prospect and Express In difference to Walkout. MOST WOMEN IMMIGRANTS PItKl-'KK FACTORIES. PICNIC PARTY ARRESTED 1G GASOLH SAN FRANCISCO. May 31. (Spe cial.) That old saying about run ning an automobile on its reputation seemed to be a likely solution of a puzzling cituntion today, when it was noted that despite the gasoline re strictlons reputed to be in effect, motor travel over the week-end was abnormally heavy. !an rrancisco made a three-day vacation out of the Decoration day business holiday extending from Fri day night to Tuesday morning, and snapped its fingers at the big oil inmpanies which announced that none but drivers of commercial ve hicles would be allowed more than enough gasoline to raise the supply in their tanks to five gallons. All wanted to get as far away from home as possible, just so they got back for work Tuesday. The only saving of gasoline that could be noted was due to the fact that lew automobiles went far into the interior. Most of them did not get far from the source of supply. Ilair-Ilationlng Kalln. Laws there may be. but they will never stifle the longing of a con firmed automobilist for a smooth stretch of white road, .plenty of "gas." a spare tire or two and an engine humming a song of speed. Hence ingenious drivers only winked at the accelerator as the oil companies tried to enforce their half-ration order, while car owners were yearning for long trips under the smiling sun. In San .Mateo a man with a truck dirt a land-office business. Having a business vehicle, he could load his tank without reserve at supply sta tions. He motored out along the roadside to where a stalled machine panted for fuel, pulling alongside witli a great grinding of brakes. "I couid let you have a little bit," he offered. The party jumped at it. With a siphon he transferred part of his cargo to the "family" vehicle at one dollar a gallon, war price, plus tax. Fly the simple process of not load ing at the same supply station twice this man managed to dispose of 15 truck loads- during the day. Another ''Borrowg" Some. Another motorist with a bucket went along and "borrowed" some 2." gallons in small amounts from char itable fellow-motorists. Still another calmly tapped anoth er man's tank while the latter was eating his dinner. The prize accomplishment of the day was that of a San Francisco woman who loaded her tank twice at the same station within half an hour by merely putting down the ma chine top and changing her hat. The gasoline man never tumbled to the subterfuge. Tricks of all sorts were resorted to. San Jose ran out of gasoline at noon Sunday, so great was the rush on the highways, many parties being held there until supplies arrived by tank trucks today. Increased Influx Into United States Is 'ot Regarded as Solution to Servant Problem. NEW YORK, May 31. Though the tide of immigration has begun to flow again into the United States from Europe so that incoming ships have their lower decks crowded with home Keekers from other lands, there is little prospect that relief is In sight for the American housewife who has been promising herself a cook or maid-of-all-service to be re cruited from the newcomers. At least that is the ojiinion of Superintendent I. A. Baker of the United States Im migration station on Ellis island. "Immigration has been increasing by leaps and bounds." Mr. Baker said today, "and it is a hopeful sign that the aliens arriving in this port dur ing the last few weeks have exceeded the number going back to their na tive lands by many thousands. Last week six times as many came in as qualified to leave the country. "People who think the servant girl problem is going to be solved soon will be disappointed if they arc de pending on the women immigrants from Ireland and the Scandinavian countries. Plenty of these are arriv ing on every boat, but they turn up their noses at the thought of menial labor. They have their minds set on getting work in the better fac tories, principally those manufactur ing luxuries such as candy and wo men's finery."

The house today passed and sent to the senate the bill permitting farmers, planters, ranchmen, dairymen or fruit growers to combine for the collective market ing a.nd sale of their own products notwithstanding anti-trust laws. 1 ho vota was 233 to 58. The measure was drafted by Chair man Volstead of the house judiciary committee as a substitute for the Capper - llersman bill and similar measures to legalize collective bar gaining by agricultural producers. Oebate developed sharp division of opinion, supporters of the bill declar ing it would give farmers and other producers an opportunity to negotiate a fair price for their products. Op ponents asserted It would increase the cost of living and that it was class legislation. Limitations included in the bill, said by its supporters to be designed to exclude from its benefits all but actual farmers, provide that the com binations that may be organized must not pay more than 8 per cent dividend annually on capital stock and that every member must have one vote, ir respective of his invested capital. Control of the combinations under the bill would be placed in the secre tary of agriculture, who may. after hearing, order the combination to stop practices which are held to re strain trade or lessen competition. The secretary also would be em powered to sue in federal court for enforcement of his orders. $70,000 SOUGHT IN WEEK Post Will Endeavor to Raise Sum -Needed for Clubhouse. VANCOUVER, Wash.. May 31.

SEATTLE. Wash., May 31. (Spe cial.) Though a number of employ ers and union officers have conferred as individuals within the last 24 hours on a renewal of peace negotiations, it appeared certain tonight that Seattle building trades unions would carry out their programme calling a general strike tomorrow for the abolition of open shop conditions in the building industry. The strike, it was an nounced by union representatives, would take union men off of all jobs not 100 per cent unionized.- The eleventh-honr peace par'eys were entirely unofficial in character and were not participated in by union men as union representatives or by any employers as representatives of the various association of contrac tors and builders. The parleys re sulted, it was said, in a failure of the participants to agree on any re vision of the clause In the proposed blanket agreeme.it that was rejected by the unions on the ground that it would bind them to accept the open shop. Parleys Prove Futile. The clause, which was offered by the master builders' association as amendment to the blanket agreement, which was drafted in peace confer ences held under Mayor Caldwell's auspices early in May, was defended by the employers in the llth-hour peace parleys on the ground that it merely provided that non-union men now working should not be discrim inated against in favor of union men. The union men refused to accep. this interpretation and nothing came of, the parleys. contractors and builders in the master builders' association reiterated today that they were not worried in the least over the threatened strike. intimating that with comparatively little work going on and not a great deal of new work in sight, on account of the stringency of money and the consequent difficulty in floating build ing loans, it was more or less imma terial to them whether the union men alked out or remained on the jobs. Union Mm Confident. They expressed confidence that many union men would refuse to strike in view of the circumstances, and would remain on the jobs with non-union men, thereby keeping the work now in progress going. Union representatives declared that all non-union jobs would be tied, but said thit they expected many jobs now employing some non-union men to be "straightened up." thereby pre- enting any great loss of employ ment. The union estimate is that there are an explosion of unknown origin set about 4300 union building mechanics fire to first-class and officers' quar- ana laborers in tne city at tne present i ters above decks. $1,500,000 LOST IN FIRE Pier and Sisal Warehouses at Gal veston Destroyed.
