.UNEMP[ P[OYED MEN
SEEK ASSISTANCE
FROM THE MAYOR
Crowd Holds Meeting on Steps
Of City Hall and Tell of
PrivatiOn.
LEADER ASSERTS THAT
WORK is VERY SCARCE
City Clerk Connolly Warns Men
Who Visited Employment
Bureau Looking for Jobs.

There was an unusual scene at the
City Hall this afternoon, when more
than 100 men swarmed into the build
ing for the purpose of asking the
authorities to obtain work for them.
The men wanted to see Mayor Hauss-
ling, but he did not happen to be in
at the time. They went away when
told by policemen that they must dis
perse. Before going the men elected
a committee of three to see the mayor
in their behalf. The meeting was held
on the steps of the municipal build
ing
The men told pitiable stories of
their circumstances. Several said
they had left their wives and children
half-starved and cold. Others de-
clared their children had no clothes
to wear to school and were obliged to
remain indoors all day. Stories of
families of four and five living In one
ior two rooms, sleeping on floors and
sharing plain bread and water also
were related.
Edward Redler, of 1853 Fairmount
avenue, an accountant, acted as
spokesman of the party. He declared
that he was unable to get position
of any kind. The mayor received
them as soon as he arrived at his
office.
1--WE offered to work for So a
week." Redler said. II can't get a
job even by getting down on my
knees and begging for it. We are
all willing to clean streets or work on
the garbage wagons. We'n do any
thing that will put some bread in the
mouths of our wives and our chill
dren. There are from 300 to 500 un-
employed men at the city employ

CATHOLICS WAR
ON MANHAT TAN'S
IMMORAL PLAYS
Movement Takes Concrete
Form as CensOrs Make List
of Proper Ones.

NEW YORK, Feb 3.-Announce-
ment was made today that at next
Sundays services in all Roman Cath
olic churches in the archdiocese of
New York bulletins will be read
setting forth all the plays now show
ing in New York that are worthy of
Roman Catholic patronage.
The bulletins will be ISSUED by the
Catholic Theatre Movement, an or
ganization formed at the instigation
of Cardinal Farley. The movement
was launched year ago, but not
until now has it taken concrete form.
The purpose of the movement is
threefold-first, to acquaint Roman
Catholics with plays that are worthy
of their support; secondly, to select
a list of plays suitable for production
by the various Roman Catholic in
stitutions and colleges which present
plays from time to. time. Its last
motive is to obtain the pledges of ali
Roman Catholics within the arch
diocese of New York to avoid i'm
proper plays and exhibitions and TO
use their influence with Others.
The list of plays viewed by the Or
ganization's censors has not been
made public, but II is said to include
all of the plays now appearing in
New York. The following is the COM
mittee which passed on these pro-
ductions: Edward J. Mcguire, Alfred
Young, Eliza O'Brien Lumrnis, Steph-
en- ! rarley. John Whalen, Edward
Hume, DR.. James j. Walsh, Andrew
Shipmann, Rev. j. f. O'Connor S.
j.; Rev. John ]. Burke, c. s P; Miss
L. A. M. Bangs and Austin Finnegan.
The movement is anything but a
"holier than thou''one, according to
Monsignor Lavelle. of St. Patrick S
Cathedral
There are no cranbs among US, and
we aren't going to do anything sensa-
tional' said the monsignor today.
1--WE believe that it is our duty to
warn our people of immoral plays and
to lay before our boys and girls list
of plays that are suitable for presen-
tation by them

PROBE IS PLI AIMED
IN FREE SERVICES
OF R. R. SYSTEMS
Question of Fixing Reasonable
Charges Will Be Subject
of Hearings.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Another
development was thrown today into
the freight rate case before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, in which
the fifty-two eastern railroads are
seeking to advance their charges five
per cent when Commissioner Harlan
announced that the commission in
tended to hold supplementary hear
ings on the question of fixing reason
able charges for free services railroad
systems now perform for large indus
trial plants.
The recent decision of the Industrial
Railways case indicated that such
free services to so-called trusts not
only cost the railroad systems about
SIS. 600, 900 a year, but disseminated
against smaller industries.
Commissioner Harlan, in a formal
statement. pointed out that the evil
dence so far submitted tended to show
"a diminishing net revenue and di-
minishing net income for the rail-
roads. The new rates proposed by the
roads, he said, proposed advances
ranging from three to ffts esszsr't tF1.<-
f9ncreass6 rates probably would afford
additional revenues.
"The commission, however, has set

nues are shown to be inadequate what
general course may carriers pursue

ing the free services disclosed in the
recent decision and their cost to the
railroads the commissioner concluded
by saying:
"The propriety of discontinuing the
performance of these special services
without charge is manifestly a mat
ter that should receive Immediate
consideration. 1t must not be under
stood that I am announcing any
definite views for the commission on

have said is simply point of view
on which the commission desires

MARKET PROTEST
IS NOT POLITICS,
WALDRON SAYS
Challenges Head OF Builders
Exchange to Back Statement
Regarding Charge.

Edward NJ Waldron, the local
building contractor, today issued a
statement in regard to the contro-
versy over the awarding by Mayor
Haussling of the contract for the
erection of a new building for Centre
Market. The statement is in the
nature of a reply TO the stat tement
made yesterday by John F. Dey,
president of the Builders and Trad
ers' Exchange. Mr.. Dey was quoted
as saying that the controversy over
vored of politics.
Mr.. Waldron declared that the po-
litical side of the question remained
with Mr. Dey, and that it is only in
the spirit of fair play and strict bust
ness methods that the protest was
made against the granting of the
contract. He went on:
"Mr. Dey is said to have made a
statement that the protest against
the awarding of the market contract
is nothing more than a big political
joke. This statement reflects little
credit on the president of the Master
Masons' Association, and the man
who is said to be the president of the
Builders and Traders Exchange.
Spending Citizens Money.
What has politics to do with the
subject? 1 hold that it is merely a
bushes proposition. The mayor and
common Council are spending the
citizens money. What are they get
ting for it?
"The questions to be determined
are: Was the contract awarded to
the lowest responsible bidder? Was
it awarded at the lowest possible
price?
1T say no to both of those propo-
Sitions.
"The president of the Master Ma
sons Association and of the Build
ers and Traders Exchange seems to
lose sight of this fact.
If the president of the Master
Masons' Association will invite me to
the meeting of the association which
he says he is going to call to set tie
this important question for the citi-
zens and taxpayers of the city of
Newark and extend to me the privi-

Attorney General Wescott had any
intention of appointing him to sue

not discuss a matter which he knew
nothing about. So far he had no
communication from Mr.. Wescott on
the subject.

AMENDMENTS TO
Immigration BILL
ARE ALL BEATEN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-All Asiatic
exclusion amendments to the immi-
grafton bill were defeated today in
the House. The Hayes-Lenrott
amendment was beaten, 103 to "a. after
an overwhelming defeat of a similar
amendment by Representative Raker.
sAll the Asiatic exclusion amend
mems were knocked out of the bill
after a hot debate. in which Repub-
licans and Democrats united in their
defeat An appeal was made to the
Democrats to leave the Asiatic prob
lem free from legislative entangle-
ments, while President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan were treating 1t
automatically. The bill as it now
stands is merely an immigration
measure without restrictions as to
race or color.
The Lenroot- Hays amendment would
have excluded Asiatics except those
already provided for in passport
agreements or treaties drawn
to avoid reference to Japanese or
California. Representative Raker,
leading the Pacific coast delegation
contending for Asiatic exclusion. Of
fered a substitute more drastic in
terms. Both were beaten. The de-
bate at times was hot and the House
was in confusion.
Republican Leader Mann, in a
speech which brought forth outbursts
: of applause, gravely pleaded with his
Republican colleagues to put aside
all consideration of party advantage
and vote against the amendments
I'VE owe an allegiance to the coun-
try" he said, "above party alle-
glance. Foreign affairs should be
handled in delicate way. We owe

herself

Democrats, and despite the fact that

sentiment for the amendments, they
