More Than 1000
Slackers Are Taken
Here Each Month
Federal Reward a Spur &c
the Capture of Draft
Evaders

With the police warmed TO the
search by the $50 reward paid by the
government for each wilful draft de-
lnquent apprehcnded, and with other
agencies at work combing the city and
vicinity for slackcrs, more than two
thousand men arc passing every month
to Fort Jay for compulsory induction
INTO army service, and in some in
stances to face military tribunal be-
tore being sent to training camps
This became known today when
Martin Conboy, director of the draft
for New York City, issued an order to
the 189 local boards here, cautionine
them to exercise the greatest care
that only proven wilful delinouents,
men who either failed deliberately to
f'lc missionaries or report for en-
trainment, are sent to Fort Jay.
The military authorities at Camp
Upton, according to Mr.. Conboy, have
reversed the decision of the local
boards here in many instances, absolv-
ing the supposed delinquent from all
guilt. This has followed a care full in
vestigation by camp officials into the
merits of the case, a survey free from
the overzealousness of cOmplainants.
who are eager to collect the $50 given
by the government.
In many instances. said Mr.. Con-
boy, the rewards have already been
paid when man is discovered to
have been adjudged Stacker on in
sufficient grounds. The money is r-
revocably lost to the government. as
it cannot be taken from the soldiers
salary if he has been cleared of dein-
quency charges.
The number of delinquents rounded
up is steadily increasing, declared
Captain Asch, aid to Mr.. Conboy, yes
terday. From one hundred q week a
month ago it has passed five hundred
and is swelling steadily. Thirty
thousand dollars was paid out at Fort
Jay on Saturday for the apprehension
of batch of delinquents. To pay
the rewards for the men turned over
to the officials at Fort Jay will require
a governmental appropriation of $780,
900 month.
Sickness. honeymooning, ignorance
of the English language and other
conditions which might have contrib
uted to q registrant's dilatory action
on questionnaire or response to his
cntrainment call do not place him in
the wilful class, Captain Asch said.
1t must be shown that the draftee
planned to cvade his local board s
mandates.

Bronx Charges
Discrimination in
Its Coal Rations
Naming Of u. S. Admins
traitor for State Demanded
at Mass Meeting

Demands that coal administrator
for New York State be appointed at
once and that alleged discrimination
against the Borough Of The Bronx in the
matter Of coal distribution cease were
made at a joint meeting Of the various
civic organizations in that community
yesterday at Third Avenue and 137th
Street.
Cyrus c. Miller, Fuel Administrator
borough was not receiving "even its
insufficient allotment" which is the
same as that consumed by the COM
munity in 1916. He said he had done
ell in his power TO obtain an adequate
supply, but always had been referred
to a mythical State Fuel Administrator
"There hasn't been State Fuel Ad-
ministrator," continued Mr.. Miller, FOR
more than two months, and despite the
many representations | have made to
Washington on this point ! still re-
Mr.. Miller then read letter from
Joseph b. Dickson, anthracite distribu
ter, in which Mr.. Dickson states that
"as soon as he receives the allotment
of the New York State Fuel Admins
traitor, the redistribution of the allotted
tonnage for greater New York will be
placed with the shippers, who will be
required to meet the tonnage, If the
coal is produced" "The pursuit of this
mythical State Fuel Administrator,
added Mr.. Miller, "has become serious.
and unless some remedial measures are
instituted Immediately The Bronx will
face shortage greater than last win
ter"
The coal dealers of the community
represented that they had 100000 tons
Of untitled orders, and that their needs
approximatcd 1900 tons daily. They
have only been allotted they said,
about 5000 tons a day, large portion
of which has not been received. They
charged that other boroughs are re-
ceiving quantities moro in keeping
with their requirements.
Resolutions were adopted providing
for the appointment of committee
to call on the officials at Washington,
urging the immediate appointment Of
a State Fuel Administrator to obtain
early relief.
Albert Goldman, Of the Bronx Board
of Trade, presided at the meeting.

came, however. Several men craned
their nocks while Miss Brewer made
bread and mullins out of wheat sUbsti-

short time in little oil stove Some
