Only 933 Plattsburg
Men To Be Accepted
Other 1867 Students To Be Of.
fered Signal Corps and
Ordnance Posts

PLATTSBURG, Nov. 5.--The heart
was taken out of undoubtedly the fn.
est training camp in the country To-
day, when the $500 students were in.
formed that not over 33 per cent OF the
students would be commissioned
This information came as a bomb TO
those who came here in August because
the War Department desired men Of
more matured years and promised 10
commission all who were recommended
as fit. There is no question among the
army officers here that fully 70 per
cent are fit. To the surprise OF the
stduments, there followed the an.
nouncement the appearance in camp
of two boards Of officers from Wash
ington, one from the signal corp.
and the other from the Ordnance De-
partment, with large posters inviting
students TO enter these units and
promising commissions at once upon
their being accepted.
Talks we're given the company COM
manders this afternoon. and TO the stu
dents this evening at the camp theatre
by officers of these units. The result
IS that a great many Of the candidates
who have been anxious 10 serve the
government, who have been working for
commissions in the line. finally signi-
fed their intention of accepting com
missions in the Signal Corps, rather
than return TO civil life. Those who
are accepted for either Of these units
will be commissioned Immediately.
placed on active duty with pay starting
at once, and the commissions will range
from second lieJtenants 70 captains.
II is also announced that next week
board of officers will be here TO pick
candidates for commissions in the
quartermaster's department. IL is also
stated that there may be commissions
offered TO a number for the line II they
are willing 20 go on in active duty.
which means without pay, and awRi,
probably the call for the next draft
army. As it stands, 10 per cent IL the
force will ultimately be commissioned.

have desired

Campaign Started
For War Camp Fund
$4,000, 900 Solicited for Rec.
reation of Army and
Navy Men

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-An intensive
nation wide campaign TO obtain funds
for the war camp community recres-
ton service was begun to-day and will
continue throughout the week. From
coast TO coast an army of volunteer
workers was soliciting subscriptions
for a fund of S4,000,000 needed TO pro
vide wholesome surroundings for en-
listed men in communities adjacent TO
the country's military camps.
The movement, which is under the
direction Of a national committee, o.
which John n. WHY'S, manufacturer, OF
Toledo, is chairman, is the result of ar
effort on the part Of the Navy Depart
ment and War Department commits
sions on training camp activities to re
establish home ties for soldiers and
sailors when they are on temporary
leave from their training quarters.
The fund is to be used largely in
building community clubhouses outside
the camps, for soldiers and sailors,
with all the advantages that the aver
age club possesses.

1900 Butchers Strike
Here for More Pay
Demonstration Leads 100
Employers to Accede
to Demands

Fifteen hundred butchers employed
in Manhattan and The Bronx yesterday
quit work to voice their demands Tor
recognition of their union, hlgher
wages and shorter hours. The demon,
stration of their ability TO hold out lea
ono hundred master butchers TO accept
their terms. and two hundred strikers
from those shops returned to work.
Nine hundred shops were affected by
the attempt TO unioni2e butchers INTO
Local los of the Amalgamated Meat
Cutters and Butchers Workingmen OF
America. Two hundred storekeepers
accepted the union demands Sunday
and averted trouble. Six hundred more.
most of them members OF the United
Master Butchers of America, have ex-
dressed a willingness TO grant SUD-
stantially all the demands of the WORK
ers with the exception of a closed shop.
Union officials told the strikers at
meetings at the Labor Temple, in East
Eiehty-fourth Street, that unless the
reluctant master butchers yielded 10
the union demands by tomorrow they
would seriously tie up the meat indus
try in this city by calling out the
slaughter house workmen and the
bologna makers, who are already union
lied. Union officials estimate that
5000 men are employed in the retail
butcher shops in Manhattan and The
Bronx. and that half of them are al
ready in the unicn. The men employed
in .he butcher shops of Brooklyn and
Queens are not affected. Moreover.
those employed in the kosher butcher
shops on the lower East Side have been
organized for some time.
]. b. Buell., of the Mayors Commit
tee on National Defence. attended the
meeting of the strikers yesterday
morning, and told them that DR.. Henry
Moskowitz, Commissioner Of Markets,
would be willing TO act as mediator be-
tween the employers and the employees.
The workers voted to accept DR.. Mos
kowitz's offer.
August +. Grimm, treasurer OF the
national association of master butch
ers and president OF the local branch,
said last night that If DR.. Moskowitz,
should step into the dispute he would
have TO mediate between individual
shops and the union, as the United
Master Butchers were not dealing with
the strike situation as an association.
Each employer will settle his own
strike himself he said. "Our associa-
ton is not factor in the situation"
The union members demand mini
mum wage of s22 week and a working
week Of not more than sixty-threde and
half hours.

Restaurateur Asks u. S.
Administrator to Try
Plan
Consult Health Board
Government May Take Con-
troll of All Restaurants,
Says Agent

Huge herds Of pigs. and Belgian
hares, and enormous Hocks Of chickens,
turkeys, geese, ducks and guinea fowl
may spring up in the outlying sections
of New York City as the results of a
plan offered yesterday TO the Federal
Food Administration of the city.
The livestock is to be fed largely
from the crumbs which no longer fall.
but are swept and winnowed from the
tables of the city. If the plan natures
and is carried into effect. New York
City will be able almost completely TO
supply itself with pork and fowl.
The plan was offered for the con-
sideration of Federal Food Admins
traitor Williams ht meeting Of tine
Hotel Mems and Restaurateurs' Asso-
citation at the Waldorf-Astoria by Jo-
seph +. Pike, president Of the Carlton
Terrace Restaurant Company.
Mr.. Pike said that even with the
present food conservation scheme in
full progress, enough food waste was
being carried off 10 the incinerator
plants of the city to feed herd of
100000 swine. Enough Belgian hares
could be raised in the back lots of the
city to supply the whole population of
New York with changes in meat diet
Fowl could be raised almost entirely on
scraps in the same way as pigs and
hares.
Committees 10 Investigate
Food Administrator Williams imme-
diately requested Thomas d. Green,
president of the Hotel Mems Associa-
ton. and John j. Kavanaugh, president
OF the Restaurateur' Association, 20
name two committees, each of five men,
20 cooperate with the food admins
traitors of the city in solving food prob
lens.
He made special requests that those
committees confer with the Health De
uartment on the subject of raising live
stock in the vicinity of the city. Mr..
Williams suggested that if the law now
in force prohibited such measures =.
would have to be changed TO meet q
war emergency, provided the health of
the city could be safeguarded. The two
committees will be appointed to-day.
