Change Soon
Medical Plans Ready
49 Advisory Boards To Be
Organized in State Instead
of 80

Major General Enoch II. Crowder,
provost marshal general, who was in
New York yesterday, conferred for an
hour with Philip J. McCook regard
ing the local draft situation. Neither
would make a public statement about
the meeting.
The provost marshal, according to
his associates, Is always open to sug-
gestions for improving the system, and
is eager TO ascertain how the plans Of
the War Department work out in par
ticular localities. He intimated that
an important announcement regarding
the draft would be made in few days.
Plans for the establishment of med
ical advisory boards in this state have
been completed. it was learned yes
terday. The personnel was selected
by Major Charles North Dowd, medical
aid for New York, with the advice OF
the State Board of Health and the state
committee of the Council of National
Defence. Instead Of having thirty-six
medical advisory boards for the state,
of which sixteen were to be in this city,
Major Dowd. it is understood, has ar
ranged for the organization of forty
nine boards for the state, Of which
twenty-nine will be in New York City.
The number of boards was increased
to tighten the burden on the members.
The boards here will be composed OF
specialists in ten diseases from st.
Lukes' Hospital, Columbia University,
New York Hospital, Postgraduate Hos
nl MI
sitv and Bellevue Medical College,
Flower Hospital, Fordham Hospital and
Lincoln Hospital. The medical boards
will begin to sit soon after New Years
Day.
Each board will be expert in surgery,
internal medicine, eye troubles, ear,
nose and throat disorders, tuberculosis,
neurology, urology, X-ray examina-
tions, clinical laboratory work and
dentistry.
Mayor Mitchell yesterday ordered
Sam Lefkowitz, a commissioner OF
deeds. who. it is alleged, charged a
registrant 81 TO administer an oath, to
answer the charge tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock in the office of the Cor
poration Counsel.
Mr.. McCook started an investigation
Of complaints from residents IN the
Brownsville section that Samuel II.
Cragg, chairman Of Local Board "a,
had east slur on the willingness of
Jewish young men to serve in the Ma
tional Army. Mr.. Cragg, complainants
charge, made an unfavorable remark
about the loyalty of Jewish registrants
on December 21 in an address at Pub
lie School 120 when service flag was
presented to the institution.

shoemakers, nor have they yet re-
ceived their money from the govern
ment Monaco showed a letter written
on a Camp Mills quartermaster's de-
partment letterhead, which confirmed
his agreement TO repair shoes at Sl.25
a pair. This letter was signed "By d.
rection Of the quartermaster, c. II.
Smith, major @. NJ. c." Monaco said
he received this letter after the wom-
ans visit.
Major Smith, at Camp Mills, who
was startled yesterday by the revela-
tions Of the shoe cobbers, said;
81 never saw Sebald's letter offering
to repair shoes at S120 pair. The
statement that the soldier brought this
letter back to Sebald would indicate
that the soldier had access to the quar-
termaster's mail before ] do. Half q
dozen men are in position TO see in
coming mail before ! do.
"About a month ago Camp Mills was
desperate, you might say, to get shoe
repairing done. | tried to get various
big New York shoe companies to un-
dertake the job. They refused. 1t
would have been possible for a soldier,
knowing our eagerness to get the work
done. to have approached neichborhood
cobblers, making the propositions de-
scribed. At that time any cObbler will
ing TO repair shoes at S1.25 pair could
have got work from our camp"
On Wednesday Major Smith intends
TO have the cobblers to CamD Mills
point out the soldier who visited them.

with the workers.


Mr.. SchonGsiG will be asked to have
all the shops turning out soldiers
wear, thrown open TO the idle union
workers. no matter what their affili-
atoms. At present, it is contended,
only members Of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers Union. which con-
troll the large contract shops, are al
lowed to enter them.
Between 5000 and 10000 machines
are standing idle In these shops alone
according to the committee Of fifteen.
A partial investigation in twenty-three
shops disclosed, they state, between
$500 and 1000 idle machines. There
arc about 100 shops in all in the city,
they state, making uniforms.
Tn the shop Of J. Eisner & Co.,
Fifth Avenue and 14th Street" said
member Of the committee yesterday
"a hundred men are kept out OF WORK
becsuse IS sleeve makers, OF whom
many are walking the streets, can not
be obtained among the Amalgamated
workers. As all the work is done by
the piece, the absence Of the makers
Of one part Of uniform throws out
an equal number making each other
section"
Many of the idle men, out OF work
for ten weeks, and on the edge of
starvation, have been driven to the
point of violence. One Of the cloak
makers applied for work few days
ago TO the Amalgamated headquarters,
displaying his union card as creden-
tial. He was turned away with o
laugh, and, in desperation. smashed
the headquarters window with his nst.
He was not arrested.
Another man, who contributed FIVE /
cents 20 the cost of hiring hall for
n mass meeting. showed he had just
10 cents remaining. as the sole amount
standing between him and family Of
six children and starvation. Numerous
cases have come 20 the attention Of
the committee and the American
Alliance of Labor and Democracy,
where school children were prevented
from attending classes because they
had no shoes, and clothing absolutely
inadequate to the rigors of the winter.

10000 Will Make
New Plea for Work
On Army Uniforms

Despai-ing Of quick relief from the
War Department, 10000 idle clothing
workers of this city took steps yester-
day to appeal for employment directly
to the manufacturers of army uni
forms. Five members of the commit
teen of fifteen, representing the work
ers, were selected to present to the
Manufacturers Association to-day or
tomorrow the growing desperation and
suffering Of the cloakmakers and their
dependents.
At meeting of the committee, held
yesterday afternoon in % Forsyth
Street, the names of Justice Louis
Brandeis and Meyer Schonfield were
considered as possible spokesmen. Mr..
Schonfield, formerly a union leader,
now connected with the Manufacturers
Association, was finally selected, as
Of sufficient influence with the manu-
facturers and deep enough in sympathy

Teachers Suspension
AS Draft Foe Urged
Find Miss Ross Guilty of "Un-
becoming Conduct" Re-
garding CONSUMPTION

The Elementary School Committee,
which has been considering charges
made against Miss Fannie Ross, a
teacher in Public School 80 in Queens.
found her guilty yesterday of conduct
unbecoming a teacher" 1t recon-
mended as punishment that she be sus-
pended from duty for six months with
out pay.
The charges against the teacher in
volved the alleged expression of sem
timents opposed TO the draft law
while she was engaged in the taking
of the state military census last June
and the accusation that she had been
influential in persuading a registrant
under the law 20 claim exemption from
military service.
In its report the Elementary School
Committee carefully refrained from
the use of the word "disloyalty." II
described the alleged offences Of Miss
Ross as "tactless utterances."
The report and recommendation will
be brought up before the Board Of
Education for consideration to-mor-
row. 1t is thought to be probable
that the board will pass upon them
at once.

Extend Camp Sanitation

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The United
States Public Health Service has COM
pleted arrangements to take over the
sanitary control of the "civil zones"
around twenty-six of the army canton
ments and mobilization camps. Agree
ments have been entered into with
state and local health authorities
whereby an official of the service be-
comes administrative health super
visor of the districts, usually with the
title of Director Of Health.
Preliminary reports from the Off
cals state that the absence of knowl-
edge on the part of the community as
to the necessity for rigid control" and
the "lax quarantine methods Of the
past" are the most important obsta-
cles met in the task of protecting the
soldiers in camp.
In the cases Of communities around
certain Southern cantonments, eco
nomic condition prevented citizens TAX
ing precautionary measures which
were recommended by the health Off
cials.
