They seem to have no confidence In their duly elected representatives on tne com' mission, and from what I have been ble to learn there Is little chance of accomplishing much with the men by persuasion If their reprentatives. wnom they distrust, have anything to do with the conference. Mr. Toppln said It would be Impossible for him or Mr. Wood to attend the meeti- ng- as members of the wage commission. Whether they could attend as represent tatlves of the steamship companies, he said, would have to be decided at a meetlne- - y. T. V. O'Connor, president of the In- ternational Longshoremen's Association, said several hundred more men had ni turned, and that \all are drifting back gradually.\ The 5,000 employed at the Chelsea piers who have voted to return will do so, he said, as soon as they can. Thev are beinr held by 200 riggers. The riggers' local started voting last night on the proposition to return or continue the strike, Mr. O'Connor blamed Mayor Hylan with prolonging the strike, and declared that if he had not addressees tne men at Tammany Hall on Tuesday afternoon the tie-u- p would be ended. Others In the faction obposed to the Butler element, who had announced on Tuesday that the strike was off, ex- pressed the belief that the Mayor; when he assured the strikers or nis interest in them, gave them to believe that he could actually obtain higher wages for them If they would lay their case In his hands. as he phrased It. Although he besought ths men to return to work pending his good efforts. Mayor Hylan did not make this condition imperative. In conseouence. It was said, the strikers, believing Mayor Hylan would Intercede for them. Influenced others to believe the same way, and all decided to remain out \and give the Mayor chance;\ ' The opinion among many thlbolne men and union leaders yester day was that the sooner Mayor Hylan ceases negotiating the sooner the strike will be ended. teamahlp Owners' Statement. - In announcing Its determination to stand by the award of the National Ad justment Commission the statement of the steamship Interests, wnicn was in dorsed later by the United States Ship ping Board, says.

Charles Almendlnger, 17, a sailor, ar rested Wednesday, described fifteen Cen tral- - Park holdups which he ally conducted on his arraignment be fore Magistrate Douras In West Side Court yesterday, assuming an air of naivete which proved amusing to the court and the spectators. \New York people are the easiest in the world to stick up,\ Almendlnger re marked. \Ive got a record In my note book showing my work from day to day, and only one of my victims ever got my goat I held up a young woman about midnight near the lake and she wasn't bothered about my gun a bit She made after me and punched a hat- - pin Into my coat tails. I was running away she was so fierce, and. believe me. I felt I had a narrow escape when I'flnally got out of sight. If she hadn't had skirts she'd probably have caught me and whaled the Btuffing out of me.\ Almendlnger appealed to the leniency of the court on the ground that he was an orphan and had been In an asylum at Pelham until his enlistment In the navy. He had never had a mother's care nor a father's advice he said. After he came back from foreign service he was attached to the Great Lakes Train ing Station, but recently he received twenty day .furlough to this city. He said he had fallen Into bad company and had been taught the holdup game by others. The defendant read his note book account of his operations and com puted a total gain of $32,15 from the operations. The sailor was held In' $5,000 ball for further examination. I MBS.

Early returns on the vste taken by 'Big Six\ Typographical Union on the question of levying a 10 per cent, assess- ment to help the compositors who have quit their Jobs Indicated yesterday that the opponents of the pending printing trades strike have gained much strength. At the offices of the union In the Pu litzer Building It was stated that In 143 chapels that had reported their votes there had been 912 against the assess ment with 4,374 In favor of It These particular chapels constitute the strong- hold of the strike movement where lit- tle or no opposition was expected.

While those most strongly biased In favor of the strike estimated yesterday that the final vote would be about (,0uv for and 1,200 against the assessment these same people a week or two ago were unwilling to admit that there was any opposition at all In their ranks to the demands of the radical leaders of the movement In the opinion of certain members of the union the opposition fac tion will poll at least 2,000 votes, a very emphatic protest against what their president, Leon H. Rouse, has styled the vacations \ of many book and lob print ing compositors. at Junction, the employers had refused \mediation\ brought from Col. William Green of the Printers' League yesterday a letter fully explaining his stand on point He informed Mr. Rouse that the Printers' League had given careful con- sideration to the proposal to Invite a third party to participate in negotia- tions, and stated that the employers have always been and are now willing to submit all questions Involved 'In the strike to arbitration. Col. Qreen expressed the opinion that mediation would tro futile, for the rea- son that neither party would be bound in any way to accept the suggestions of the mediator. An arbitrator would be able to act with authority, and through such a party the employers believe the continual haggling would be to an end.
