Fake War Charities

Americans Have Lost Huge
Sum in Graft, Says
@Investipator

Promoters Of fake war charities
cheated Americans out of $4,000, goo
or more since the war began, accord
ing to William Bullock, Of the Ameri-
can Victory Union. In New York City
alone, Mr.. Bullock said yesterday.
their graft amounted to S4,00O,OOO.
Mr.. Bullock made this statement fol-
lowing extensive investigation by his
organization, which has revealed, he
said, "a great and complicated system
or ring of international graft in con-
'nection with war and war relief work"
Money collected in this country by
so-called war charities has been sent
IN many instances, according to Mr.
Bullock. to dummy committees" in
Europe, whence it has found its way
into the pockets of private individuals
The facts turned up by the Victory
Union will be used, he said, in support
of bill now before the United States
Senate providing for the placing of all
war charities under Federal super

To Discuss Extension

Public Service Commission Will
Hold Hearing on Pro-
posed Plan

Plans TO relieve congestion on tran

rush hour periods will be discussed to-
morrow at a conference between the
Public Service Commission and repre-
sentatives of various industries and
civic organizations.
Regulations Of the Health Depart
ment during the influenza epidemic.
which opened and closed theatres and
business houses in scheduled groups,
might be made permanent, it was sug-
gested by Chairman C. B. Hubbell.
This scheme, he pointed out, would
prevent thousands of workers from
pouring into the streets at virtually
the same hour mornings and evenings.
"The commission has advocated such
plan for years" said Commissioner
Hubbell, "but little headway was made
because of a lack of common purpose
among the industries and because the
Commission was without power to en-
force regulations.
During the epidemic the Health De-
partment's order spread the rush hours
over longer periods, and operators of
street railway lines reported conges-
ton was materially lessened. Since
the return to the old business hours
the high points OF congestion are again
occurring on many lines"

S54,354,034 Spent
BY Y.M.C.A. to Aid
American Fighters
Statement Issued by George
w. Perkins Shows How AS
sociation Helps Soldiers

Between the time Of arrival of the
first American contingent in France
and July 81, 1918. the Y. NJ. c. A.
shipped 11,5lO,OO0 packets of chewing
gum to the expeditionary forces.
The report of Y. NJ. C. A. activities
from April 20, 1917, to July 81, 1918.
made public yesterday, invests other
humble time accelerators with impos-
ing figures. For example, 94s,7S5.SO2
cigarettes we're shipped to France,
Then there were things like shaving
soap. 263,o0o sticks, and tooth paste,
551,5 tubes.
1t isn't the big deprivations that
matter in a soldiers life; he discounts
them when he puts on the uniform.
It's the little pet habits he misses.
Those are the gaps the y. NJ. c. A.
is filing.
Does the doughboy crave, sweets .
Up to July 81 the Y. NJ. C. A. had sent
abroad 257,5oo pounds of candy and
34l,4Sl pounds of chocolate. Are
there few moments when playing
cards would come in handy? The
Y. NJ. c. A. had sent 77,760 packs 20
France by July 81. Is there a letter
that must be written? The Y. NJ. c. A.
distributes 100000 sheets of writing
paper a day among expeditionar,,
troops and more than 100000 shsets
day in training camps.
A great array of figures marches
straight through the report in Columns
OF baseballs, basketballs, phonopranb
records, razors, medicine balls, catch
ers' mitts and everything conceivable
that soldier might need.
The statement, issued by Georcc W
Perkins, chairman of the finance COM
mlttee OF the National War Work
Council of the Y. NJ. c. A., shows that
up to July 81 the organization had
handled S54,354,034.O4. of which moro
than 100000 represented interest on
contributions. On tnat date the Y NJ
c. a. had on hand balance Of mora

Big Building Boon,
Expected to FolIolu
War Board Ruling

A tremendous boom in building is
bound to follow the war in New York
City is the belief of many contractors
and real estate owners here. Already
the need for new buildings is urgent,
and to relieve this the Mayors Com
mittee on National Defence intends to
apply to the War Industries Board for
permission to resume part of the
Sl00,000,000 worth of construction work
halted by the war.
George Mcdonald, OF the committee.
said yesterday that he hoped that the
board would now put more liberal
interpretation on the order checking
non essential production.
Meanwhile, plans for new buildings
are being perfected by the hundred by
old and new building syndicates.
Among ~these latter is a Cleveland
syndicate, the Seven Forty Superior
Avenue Company, OF which J. G.. Rus
sell is president
This syndicate has bought tract Of
40 lots at Douglaston Park, Long ISL
and, which it purposes to improve with
dwellings, as soon as general building
conditions permit. In part payment for
the lots it gave to the Douglaston
Realty Company the Parry Payne
Building, at 730 to 740 Superior Ave

City Employees Join Fight
on Hearst, Pledging
Moral Support

Refusing to follow the example Of
their superiors in the city government
who attempted to assist in suppressing
the strike of newsboys against "The
New York American" and "The Evening
Journal" the Bridge Painters Associa-
tion of the Department Of Plant and
Structures has approved the newsboys'
campaign against the Hearst papers
and adopted resolutions assuring the
vendors Of its moral sympathy and
support.
This action was taken by the as
soclatlon at meeting at 2O1 William,
Street, following the recital By Andrew
Stanton, the newsboys' leader, of the
grievances Of his associates and the
harsh treatment accorded them by the
Hearst agents.
Administration Tactics
he denounced the use of the city's
administrative machinery for the ben
eft Of Mr.. Hearst, referring particu-
larry to the action Of the Mayor and
the License Commissioner in threaten
ing to cancel the licenses Of the yend-
ers who would not handle the Hearst
newspapers.
The resolution, introduced by Peter
Peterson, president of the association.
reads:
sWhereas, The newsboys Of the CITY
OF New York are endeavoring to better
their living conditions, and to that end
have requested the publishers of the
daily papers of the city to allow them =
little more profit, so that they might
be enabled to- meet the present high
cost OF living; and,
Nv hereas. The said newsboys contend
tnat their fair demands were refused
them solely through the influence OF
the publisher Of The New York Ameri-
/ can and The Evening Journal which
papers the said newsboys claim thev
are beirs forced to handle, although =
great many Of the people will not buy
them' for patriotic reasons; and.
Struck for Rights
Whereas, The newsboys have struck
against these papers in order to attain
their just ends; therefore. be it
Resolved, That the Bridge Painters'
Association OF the Department OF
Plant and Structures of the CITY Of
New York hereby expresses it's sincere
sympathy with and indorses the strike
of the newsboys of the greater CITY for
decent living, and as loyal labor or
ganization extends to them its mora,

Peace Industry Needs Placed
First in War Board Inquiry
Conference Called Consider Further Cut in NonEssentia
Turns Attention to Speeding Up Building Programmes
as Soon as Eoslities Cease

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Tnstead OF
discussing further restrictions on con-
structon classed as non-essential III
war times, the conference here to-
morrow and Tuesday of representa-
tives of the State Councils of De-
fence with Chairman Bernard Baruch
and other officials of the War Indus
tries Board will deal almost exclu-
sively with the question of "after-the
war" construction.
The conference when originally
called month ago was intended to de-
termine whether more types of non
war construction could be delayed un-
til the end of the war. Now that the
signing Of an armistice seems to be
q matter of hours, the presence of the
representatives. of several states in
Washington will be utilized to obtain
information of what building pro-
srammes should be given preference
when hcstilities cease.
Included in the hundred delegates
who are here for the conference are
five Governors, with the chairmen of
state councils of defence. The state
councils recently were given additional
authority by the War Industries Board
to pass on non-war construction, being
virtually the governments representa-
tives in the matter of restricting civil
ian building so that resources might
be applied in the fullest measure to
war purposes.
AS the state councils aided the gov
ernment in restricting non essential
construction work, so also will they
be called upon to continue to encour-
age civilian construction so that in
dustry, now facing cancellation of war
contracts, may find available orders for
building material for peace time"
construction.
One of the features of the conference
will be dinner tomorrow night to
Chairman Baruch. The delegates will
be addressed by Secretary of War
Baker, Fuel Administrator Garfield,
Food Administrator Hoover and other
governmental chiefs.
The New York Council of Defence
will be represented at the conference

Offers to Cooperate to Limit

In letter addressed to United States
Fuel Administrator Garfield yesterday
Mayor Hylan denied any intention Of
hndering or celebrating upon the dis
tribution plans of Federal authorities
by his police survey of New York City's
gram from Mr.. Garfield in which the
motive and the utility of the local sur
vcy were questioned.
Explains His Survey
The Mayor wrote:
"This investigation is made to OBJ
tain an inventory of the coal supply
in the City of New York so that those
who have an excess supply could be
who might be without coal, as hun
dreds Of people were last winter, re-
sultng in great suffering and distress.
Request has been made upon the
fuel administration authorities in this
city as to the amount of coal on hand
here, and their response has been that
there is no man or body in this city
who has in his or their possession the
information above requested
Il note by the press that you have
allowed another increase in the price
Of coal Of 95 cents a ton because
Of tho increase in the wages Of
miners, which, if report is correct.
amounts to about so cents a week.
The people who were unable to obtain
coal when they had complied with all
the requirements of the Fuel Admin
95 cents more ton. This will take
millions out Of the pockets Of the poor
people Of this city.
Expects an Emergency
"The people look to me as Mayor
to be sufficiently interested in theiJ
welfare to be prepared in the case of
an emergency to assist them. Unless
! know the actual conditions l will not
be in position to advice or help them.
1t is my plain duty to the people Of
this city to guard and protect their
interests as far as it lies within my
power and I cannot see what objection
there is to the Mayor knowing the
actual conditions of the coal supply in
this city. There is no intention on
my part to in any way embarrass or
interfere with the fuel administration
work in this city.
