Sons of Rest Get a Month
In Which to Ferret Out Jobs
AntLoafng Act, in Effect To-day, Gives Lounge
Lizards and Other lders Thirty Days Grace
Meantime Officials Want Them to Get Busy

New York City and County officials
worked harder yesterday planning ways
and means for impressing idlers and
non -'oductive workers into useful oc-
cupat. ons than all their prospective
victims have done in many months past.
When the day was done the public off
cials found that they had been sweat
ing over productive task, and
that they could really do nothing to
enhance the military and industrial ef-
ficiency of the United States for an
other thirty days.
The anti-loafing proclamation of Gov
ernor Charles S. Whitman started the
Police Department, the Sheriff, the Dis
trict Attorney and the State Industrial
Commission on the trail of the idlers.
The state anti-loating act goes into ef-
feet to-day, but the thirty days grace
given to the idlers and workers at use
less jobs saves them from the grip of
the law during June. They can take
jobs which pay military or industrial
dividends to Uncle Sam.
Governors Proclamation
The Governors proclamation was
made public yesterday. 1t sets forth
that the industries of the state related
to and essential in the successful pros
ecution of the war and the produc-
tion. transportation and conservation
of food supplies require large supply
of labor to be regularly and habitually
engaged therein. 1t continues in part !:
"Now, therefore, l, Charles S.
Whitman, Governor of the State of
New York, do hereby proclaim that

able-bodled male person, between the
ages of eighteen and fifty years, in
elusive, be habitually and regularly
engaged in some lawful, useful and
recognized business, profession, oc-
cupation, trade or employment, until
the termination of the war with Ger
many and its allies, or until the Gov
ernor, by like proclamation, may
otherwise order.
all persons that any able bodied
male person, between the ages of
eighteen and fifty years, who shall
refuse to be employed for at least
thlrty-six nours per week, or who,
after unsuccessfully seeking en-
ployment, fails to register with the
Bureau of Employment of the De-
partment of Labor, or with such
agency as the State Industrial Com
mission may designate, within thirty
days .afer this proclamation, or who,
thereafter, continues out of employ

Subway Strike
Is Averted by
Wage Increase
Board of Estimate to Raise
Pay of 1000 Builders
so Cents a Day
BY BRIGGS

The threatened strike of the 1000
wages were increased was averted yes
terday by the Board of Estimate, which
agreed to meet the increase of about
SO cents day the workmen demanded
declared the workmen's demand was
just, but they were unable to pay the
higher wages because of war conditions
The Board of Estimate and the Public
Service Commission are jointly en-
powered to grant relief to the contrac-
tors under the new Lockwood law.
Controller Craig suggested the plan
which later was agreed to by the Pub
lie Service Commission and the con-
tractors at conference in the Con-
troller's Office. 1t calls for new wage
agreements, supplemental to the con-
tracts. The contractors voiced some
opposition, opntending it might be il
legal They wanted the old contracts
cancelled and new ones drawn. The
Controller objected on the ground it
would relieve the contractors from
obligations in the original contracts.
City to Advance Money
The Controller explained the plan
means merely the city will finance the
contractors, advancing from week to
week the money Necessary to meet
the increase in wages, but holding the
contractors strictly to the faithful
and diligent prosecution of the work.
The wage increase will amount to about
$4,000 week. Each contractor later
will have to make out case under the
Lockwood law for all money advanced.
The Board of Estimate will pass on
each case strictly upon it's merits, and
will have resource to the surities to
pay the added costs should the board
decide the city has not been warranted
in advancing the money.
1t will be necessary for the INTERIOR
ough Rapid Transit Company and the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company to
consent to the supplemental wage
agreements. The Controller said he
had assurances the transit companies
would not oppose the plan. He said
that, barring the Eastern District sub
ways in Brooklyn, work on the new
subways ought to be completed in a
year. 1t was estimated the additional
cost to the city would amount to be-
tween $10000,000 and $12,OO0,OO0

Hearst Circulation Drops
AS Result of Appeal of 300
OF East Orange Reserve

EAST ORANGE, N. j., May 31.-The
circulation of Hearst newspapers
dropped in this city to-day as the re-
suit of the personal influence" which
the 800 members of the East Orange
Battalion, New Jersey Militia Reserve,
have brought to bear with the local
newsdealers.
The battalion unanimously adopted a
Memorial Day resolution pledging each
of its members not to read Hearst
newspapers and to use his personal in
fiuence to cause other citizens likewise
to refrain from buying them.
The battalion indorsed the recent
resolution of the New Jersey Defence
League in pledging it's members to use
all lawful means to keep Hearst pa
pers out of the state. Major A. S.
Hackley is battalion commander.

Henry Meyer, the only newsdealer in
the Murray Hill section of Flushing
who refused Thursday morning to sell
ms stock of New York Americans" to
the citizens committee which later
burned all the Hearst papers in town,
told The Tribune yesterday that he
would have gladly surrendered the
Hearst papers had he known the object
of the demonstration.
They would have got the papers for
nothing if they only told me what thew
wanted them for" he said. "Pm an

ty'' was a masterpiece, tho he dealt
with the subject in an original man

that people are either drifters or
planners. That the right kind of a
plan must bring out the best there
is in a person, must permit other
people to do the same for themselves,
and must be unattainable The plan
adopted must become part of ones
self-so identified with ones self
that the person and the plan cannot

plan and person is loyalty" The
