Harmful Rivalry in
Rivetinq Condemned

PHILADELPHIA, May 30.-Riveting
contests carried to the point of speed
ing up one mans work at the expense
of the general efficiency of the plant
are not favored by Chairman E. N.
Hurley of the Federal Shipping Board.
THE record for month is much
more important than a record for
day." said Mr.. Hurley to-day. "Con-
tests which cause rem to overwork
themselves for the sake of establishing
new records, with the result that they
are incapacitated for several days after
ward. and the general system of the
yard is demoralized are to be discour-
aged. What we are trying to do is
to encourage a spirit Of sportsmanship
that will stimulate all the men to do
their best at all times"
The plan to launch a large number
OF ships on independence Day, as part
OF big patriotic demonstration in
shipbuilding, will not be allowed to
interfere with the launching of vessels
which will be ready in the latter part
OF June, according to Mr. Hurley. There
Will be no delays for the purpose of
making big showing on the Fourth.
Thousands Of men employed in ship
yards in the. Delaware River district
did not take advantage of the Memorial

they were allowed to decide for them

After their marriage Mr. and Mrs.
Vanderbilt spent great part of their
time abroad. They had two children,
Alfred Gwynne, jr., who is now five
years CID and George w., year
younger. Both children are now with
their mother. her-----------------
When Mr.. Vanderbilt's will was pro-
bated in June, 1915, it was found he
had left $5,000,000 of his $26,375, 900 es--
tate to William Henry Vanderbilt. q

OF whom had been given to the former
wife. The oldest child also received the
great estate at Providence, R. T.. known
as Oakland Farm, Alfred Vanderbilt's

present position of Director of the

Nevada man and has long been recog
nized as one of the leading Democrats
in that state. He first went to Wash
ington five years ago with Senator
Pittman. After the death Of Senator
Francis G. Newlands, in December
1917, Mr.. Baker was prominently men,
tionedAas a probable successor, and it

Nyuck Ministers
Call Hearst Papers
Unfit for Homes

NYACK, N. Y, May 30.-The Nyack
Ministerial Association celebrated
Memorial Day by adopting resou-
tion declaring the Hearst newspapers
to be unworthy of a place in the
homes of loyal Americans. The local
| unit of the New York Guard and the
village trustees are expected to take
action against the newspapers within
few days.
The resolution of the Ministerial
Association follows:
"In view of The New York Ameri-
cans deletion from President Will
sons Memorial Day proclamation of
his plea for victorious peace and in
view Of other disloyal acts it is the
opinion of the Nyack Ministerial AS
socation that the Hearst newspapers
are unworthy of place in our homes,
upon our newsstands or in the places
where we trade"
Last Sunday the Rev. A. H. Fish, of
the First Presbyterian Church, wear
ing the uniform of military camp
pastor Che is assigned to Camp Mer-
ritt), arose in his pulpit and declared
that no true American should read
the Hearst papers. He told them
the deletion of the Presidents prayer
for victory was the elimination Of a
long series of disloyal acts.
suspended from the choir screen in
the Presbyterian Church are two ser
vice flags. On one there are twenty
nine stars, representing men from the
church who are in the American army.
On the other there arc eighteen stars,
and these are for members of the
church who are fighting in the Italian
army. One of these stars has a green
border. 1t was placed there when
word was received that Luigi Olivieri
had given his life for freedom on the
Trentino.
Standing between these flags the
Rev. Mr.. Fish asked all in his congre-
cation to raise their hands if they
agreed with him that the Hearst papers
were unfit for loyal Americans to read.
Every hand in the church was showed
into view.
The Rev. Alfred Evans, pastor of
the First Methodist Episcopal Church,
said after the ministers had adopted
their resolution that in his Memorial
Day services he had felt it necessary
to read President Wilson's prayer.
"And | didn't delete single word,
either" added DR.. Evans.
When Supreme Court Justice Tomp-
kins, of Nyack, learned of the action
taken against the Hearst papers by the
ministers he applaudcd their spirit.
"The parsons have shown the way
for the village trustees" said Justice
Tompkins.

DR.. Norris referred II. matter tn
Mayor Hylan, and on May wrote DR..
Curtin he had just received repiy
from the Mayor, refusing the request
for leave of absence. The Mayor. DR..
Norris wrote, based his action on Chan
ter 435, the Laws of 1917. He ex-
pressed regret at the turn events had
taken
DR.. Curtin, who was on leave of ab-
sence, granted for illness on January
19, continued to absent himself from
the Office of assistant medical examiner
and ignored the letter of his chief.
Consequently, DR.. Norris again wrote
DR.. Curtin on May 20 asking him either
to resign or to return to his post.
1nasmuch as DR.. Curtin had already
enrolled in the Medical Reserve Corps
and is now waiting a summons for &C.
tive service, he promptly wrote the let
ter of resignation. 1t was as promptly
accepted.
DR.. Curtin declared last night he felt
he had been treated most snabbily by
the city. He was very resentful of the
attitude of the Mayor toward those
who showed a desire TO be of service to
the government.
The post of assistant medical ex-
aminer pays $4,000 year, while that
which he has taken in its stead will
pay DR.. Curtin only s2,400 a year. He
said he felt it was unfair to demand
still greater personal sacrifice from
men desirous of enlisting for govern

1t was unanimously agreed by the
assembly to refer the action taken in
burning the papers to the Broadway
of the National Security League. A
committee consisting of E. V. b. Cox,
Everett Martin, Harvey G. Rockwell
and Harold Bennett was appointed to
take up with these two organizations
the subject of barring Hearst publica-
tions from Flushing in the future.
PerhapS the most interested specta-
tor at the bonfire was G. F. Martin, a
graybearded old man, who has been
a Virginia schoolmaster most of his
life.

that all the boys I have taught are

Last night a mass meeting of citi-
zens was held at the Flushing High
School. The chief speaker was Cleve-
land Moffett, who called the Hearst
papers menace. He added that at
this time there was one thing in the
country worse than German newspa-
pers and that was newspaper printed
in English which preached disloyalty

and Appeal, who makes his home at
Paterson, N j.. was the hero of a
patriotic incident on tube train bound

This "vigilantes committee" was or

the identity Of the enlisted men is kept

While the papers were burning Mr..
Beard read number of newspaper

to bar Hearst publications on account

examples set by Nutley, N. j.; Hacken-

other cities. Mr.. Beard read the fol-

unanimously adopted by the company:

recent occasions contained matter which
this company deems in word and spirit
antagonistic to the aims. objects and pur-
poses of the United States in the present
war and detrimental to the countrys in

newsdealers of Bloomfield be requested to
discontinue selling or distributing the

with making disloyal statements.

The signs denouncing the Hearst pa
pers were attached to the chimneys of
the Murray Hill station and other
buildings in the vicinity and were
otherwise prominently displayed.
Harold Bennett, who made a tour of
the newsstands along Main street and
in the neighborhood of Bridge station
