held as witnesses, and they claim the
other members of the party attacked
Prendergast and beat him, and then

CRITICS URGE CUTS
in COUNTY SALARIES
Citizens Union Welfare
Committee Points Out
Budget Flaws.

Following the example of the Real
Estate Board in submitting criticism
and suggestions relative TO certain de-
partmental estimates for the 1915 bud
get, the welfare committee of the Citi-
Gems Union yesterday sent letter and
memorandum on the subject to the
BOARD Of Estimate.
In the main the committee agrees
with the real estate mems attitude, but
exceptions are taken 10 any policy
which would cripple the social service
work Of the city. penny wise and
pound foolish" is the term applied to
ali such suggestions.
Under the head where Salaries Can
BE Cut" it is pointed out that the Board
Of Estimate should arrange for
Standardization Of salaries of county
officials and recommend the necessary
legislation TO make il effective. Along
this line the memorandum states:
1.-THE borough presidents, who, next
to the Mayor and the President of the
Board of Aldermen, are the most i'm
portant and responsible officials in the
city government, are paid but $500 a
year. County clerks and registers,
whose positions, while important, are
routine and demand less constructive
ability, less craftsmanship, receive far
more. We believe that saving could
be made in many salaries and cite the
following concrete examples:

BORDEN MILLS CURTAlLING
Four Days-a-Week Schedule
in Big Cotton Plant.

Fall River, Mass, Oct. 25.-The cur
tailment on tho part OF the seven mills
Of the Fall River Iron Works Company.
owned by NJ. c. ID. Borden & Sons, OF
Worth St, New York. and the reduced
schedule Of the American Printing
Company, another property of the Bor-
dens. have certainly added 10 the de.
preston that has existed In the textile
industry for more than two years. Be.
ginning last Friday, both concerns
Started OF fouT-days-a-week schedule.
The Iron Works mills are equipped with
100000 spindles, 1900 looms aud
manufacture about 100000 yards Of
cloth weekly. The American Printing
Company, which utilities the cloth from
these mills, has a capacity of about
one-hfth more cloth than Is produced
BY these mills. SO it can be seen that
these two concerns are immense fac
tors In the cotton goods field.
Curtailment OF the part Of the Iron
Works mills usually portends greater
cessation Of operation among other
mills, not alone in Fall River, but
through New England and in other tex
tile centres. The Iron Works mills
employ 5000 operatives, with a payroll
of $4,000 weekly, while the American
Printing Company employs 750 opera
tives and has a weekly payroll Of ST.,
600. When it became generally known
that the Iron Works mills had posted
notices Of curtsilment, other mills fol-
lowed suit, so that a considerable
amount Of cloth will he kept of the
market. While the total number Of
pieces of cloth on hand is not known,
it is safe to say that there are not
100000 pieces in THE mills warehouses
Whatever the Accumulation is, it will
be found that narrow goods constitute
a large portion Of the stock.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1914-10-26

Counsel to the register and county
clerk might we'll be dispensed with, it
is suggested, legal advice being sought
from the Corporation CounsePs Office.
1t is also suggested that the six tax
commissioners, their president and
twenty-six deputies should be able TO
do the required work without the aid
Of six assistants.
When the Real Estate Board criti-
cised severely the Health Department
the committee advanced the opinion
that the public demanded increased eff
ficiency and was willing to pay the
bill for results that justified expendi-
ture. Both bodies agree that the
laboratory expense should be thor
oughly investigated.
The welfare committee asserts that
the Real Estate Boards attack on the
Department of Correction is especially
bitter and then defends Dr.. Davis in
her efforts to overcome the handicap
of an inadequate staff and underpsid
subordinates. The Citizens Union has
already recommended that her request
be granted, with the restoration of sev,
eral items eliminated by the Commits
sioner of Accounts.

Paris, Oct. 25.--The reopening of the

able than hitherto has been the case,
owing to information received in finsn-
cial quarters here from New York, and
everybody is taking All optimistic view
Of the financial situation, believing the
prospects are fair for return of bust

Many conversations have been taking
place between the syndic of the COM
pany, Paris official stock brokers and
a group of leading bankers and VI.
Ribot, the Finance Minister, at Bor-
deauX. The minister liz anxious to give
every facility on the part of the gov
eminent for opening the Bourse. A
meeting of business men could not
agree whether the official market only
should be opened or the outside market
as we'll. If the cOulisse, or unonicial
market, is not included in the pro-
posed measure trading will be greatly

The Finance Minister announces that
certain railway companies will not dis
tribute shareholders instruments on
dividends usually paid in the last quar-
ter of each year. This step is con-
sidered legitimate under the present
circumstances, because railways, ike
other undertakings, find great difficulty
in realizing on their resources. ms
decision, however, cannot modify the
payment in totality OF dividends, &C
cording to agreement with the state.
If railway receipts are insufficient TO

will cover the difference as previously,
