WANT MAYOR LUNN
 TO SPLIT UP HIS PAY

Schnectady, N. Y.--ln this city of Socialist government, the high ly paid officeholders find them selves confronted by a demand that they share their salaries with their party organization. The de- mand, coming from powerful element in the party, is putting political Socialism to severe test and may prove fatal to it. The effect of the demand will be felt at the municipal election next November, when the rank and file of the Socialist party may refuse to vote for Mayor George R. Lunn, who is a candidate for re- nomination and is bitterly oppos- ed to dividing his $3,5OO salary with any person or organization.
 The demand for division of salaries was started by Charles w. Wood, editor of The Citizen, the weekly paper founded by the Rev. Dr. Lunn, the present may or MT. Wood. who ran as So- cialist for state senator last fall, was brought here by Dr. Lunn to edit the paper, which is now pub lished by a stock company, ill which Dr. Lunn is the controlling element.
 An ardent supporter of the idea that Mayor Lunn should divide his salary is Robert A. Bakeman, who resigned as assistant pastor of Dr. Lunn's church to become foreman of a gang of street cleaners at S2.5O a day, because he could better uplift humanity in that way. With the editor of his own paper and his former as sistant pastor trying to make him split his salary, and the two pro- ponents backed by majority of the members of the leading So- cialist organization, Dr. Lunn is in an amusing predicament. How ever, he is supported by nearly all the city officials.
 The total of the yearly salar- l ieS of Sl ,00O or more iS $i3, 3,695. There are enough Socialist city ,rmployrS drawing from S2.30 t." si a day to increase the total di- visible under the demand to S60,- nOO a year. and. With the rNcep- tiOn of Bakeman. every one of them is opposed [" sharing his ln- come with any one else. But the two-dolIar--day street cleaners and a majority of the Socialists not on the city pay rolls favor the division. and that is what is wor- rying Mayor Lunn. The majority iof :hc Socio!lst aldermen, who draw $500 a year each, are in fla vor of division.
 Woods demand underwent modification before it was pre- scented at a meeting of the Social ist organization. At first, MT. Wood contemplated abolishing the city official board of esti- mate and apportionment alto- gether, and putting in iSnlace a committee of SociaMlS who would take the total sum of mu- nicipal salaries and apportion it equally among ofYiceholders and employees, mayor and street sweeper alike. But this idea was abandoned, and the proposal as it now stands for debate is for this private, supplementary board of estimate and apportionment to fix the amount which each man may keep out of his pay. This is to be passed on what The could earn at his trade, calling or pro- fession, but the maximum is to be placed at Si,5O0 a year. > Mayor Lunn and the higher paid officials naturally winced when this practical sample of real Socialism was laid before them.
