Unionizing of Police
OF Nation Proposed
Movement to Start When
Gompers Returns, Labor
Official Asserts

Ernest Bohm, corresponding secre-
tary of the Central Federated Union,
declared yesterday that Immediately
upon the return of Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, from Europe steps would be
taken to organize the policemen of the
country. Mr.. Bohm added that he had
made the same assertion some days
ago in the presence of Mayor Hylan,
who made no comment.
There is urgent need of strong
police organization in the country at
present." Mr.. Bohm said. with the
assistance of the American Federation
of Labor, they could speedily bring
about many of the much needed re-
forms, just as tiremen have been able
to do.
Policemen have many Just griey-
ances," Mr. Bohm added. SThere sis is a
crying need for an Improvement in
the condition of the police, and thev
will be brought about only through
some adequate organization which,
through aftiliation with the American
Federation of Labor, will be in a DO
sltlon to enforce its demands"
Mr.. Bohm said that large majority
of the police of New York have ex
pressed themselves as being strongly
In favor of an organization which could
and would affiliate with organized la
Dor. The same held true, he said,
throughout the country.

Rail Contract

tract, he points out, may go into the
Court of Claims, without in any way
jcopardizing its position,
IL am convinced" said Mr.. McAdoo,
that the contract offered by the gov
ernment is just and reasonable. The
railroad owners have no right to as
sumo more than that. and, if the gov
ernment offers less, they are fully pro-
tected by their right to reject the gov
ernnent's offer"
Referring to the contention in some
quarters that the contract offered by
the government ought to leave open
for litigation at he end of Federal
conrol the question whether the rail-
road had been damaged by diversion of
its business during Federal control,
Mr.. McAdoo declared the claim unten-
able. In explanation of his stand he
said:
"The railroads have been taken over
for war purposes, which necessitates
diversion of traffi:, hence there can be
no escape from the view that Congress
intended the compensation which 1T
authorized to cover this element. The
demand of certain interests is, in ef
feet, for an opportunity to litigate and
is q demand which need not be urged
if the railroad company, instead of
making the contract offered. should in
stead go to the Court of Claims to get
it's compensation.
"In this event the railroad company
would get only a single compensation,
covering it's entire claim, including
any damages for alleged diversion, and
would not be allowed to litigate at the
end of Federal control the question of
diversion of business"
Mr.. McAdoo was equally emphatic in
his refusal to accede to the view that
the contract ought not to require Il
railroad company to pay out of its COM
pensation such additional money as
may be necessary to bring a railroad,
which at the beginning of Federal was
in unsafe condition, Up to a condition
of safe operation. He took the same
stand regarding a claim that no part
of railroads compensation should be
used to pay its debts to the govern
ment except such part as might remain
after the company's payment of it's Gus
tomary dividends

Gas Rate Increase
Denied by P. S. C..
Queens Borough Company
Loses Appeal for Permis-
sion tc Raise Price

The Public Service Commission yes
terday denied the application of the
Queens Borough Gas and Electric Com
pany for permission to increase its
rates during the war for gas from $115
per 1000 cubic feet to S14O, and for
electricity from II to IA cents per
kilowatt hour. The motion was adopted
by divided vote, Commissioners Whit
ney, Hervey and kracke being the ma
jcrity in favor of denving the anptica-
ton, while Chairman Hubbell and Com
missioner Ordway opposed the notion
The company IN question serves the
Rockaways and other sections of
Queens. The company contended that
the necessity for maintaining a large
and expensive plant and equipment to
take care of the summer business at
the Rockaways required larger in
come than could be provided at present
rates, the increased cost of production
being taken into consideration.
In the majority opinion Commits
sioner kracke declared that no "emer-
gency relief" had been shown neces-
sary by the company in the evidence
presented, either as to its gas or cleo
trio rates. The commis ioner suggest
cd. however. that it might be we'll for
the company to consider the question
of charging higher rate to those who
use gas and electricity only during the
summer season than to the yearround
residents.

is offensive to your customers. there is
nothing in your license or in any stat
ute or rule or regulation that compels
you, in order to hold your license, to
sell that paper.
"ln view of the contents of the
Hearst papers not only before we en-
tered into the war, but since then, it
is my advice to you that your license
cannot be taken away from you on the
ground that you refused to sell Hearst
papers. 1t may be that under the sedi-
tion acts you would be in danger if
you did sell them, but | feel sure that
you are perfectly safe in refusing to
sell them and in refusing to sell any
thing else that tends or has ever tend
ca to discourage or undo the work of
our soldiers in France"
News Dealers Gain Heart
News venders, who, until yesterday
had been somewhat doubtful in their
rights and who because of physical
ntirmities, and lack of other means of
securing livelihood, were timid in de-
clarlng themselves in defiance of
Hearst's methods, took new heart when
they learned that their licenses are
safe. Andrew Stanton and other lead
ers declared that the disposition OF
the Williamson case cleared the sit
uatlon up wonderfully.
AZ bully is always a coward" said
stanton, land We saw as soon as Mr..
Qulgg got into the case that the Hearst
crowd and its friends in the city gov
eminent were scared They began to
crawl as soon as Quigg let them know

SAID, are awaiting the reply of the Pub

If" said he, "the other publishers

clare a holiday in Long Island to cele-
brate our freedom from Hearst. This
holiday will be citizens affair. mas
much as it is the citizens of the island

By BRIGGS

Mr.. De Ford expressed the opinion
that the latest enactment to protect
Mount Vernon from the contamination
of disloyal newspapers was unconsti-
tutonal and feared that it was blow
to liberty. democracy and freedom of
the press"
To this statement Corporation Coun-
sci Esser replied that the ordinance
attacked by Hearst was enacted by the
representatives of 10000 people, who
were proud of the city's record of
1000 given to the military service of
the country, some of whom already are
represented on the service flag by gold
stars. Mr.. Esser said that the officials
of Mount Vernon acted in entire good
faith in the adoption of the ordinances
which Hearst has attacked, and that
these acts have been in full accord
with good government and the Consti-
tuition of the United States and that
of New York State

MOTOR BANDITS GET
BUSY IN PHILADELPHIA

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 29.-For the
second time within a month motor
bandits have broken loose in this city.
Two young men in a taxicab rode
through West Philadelphia this morn
ing, holding UP one grocery store after
another as fast as the chauffeur could
speed the car.
They robbed five stores of the
American Stores Company, the big
gest of their kind in the city, within
ar hour, and escaped with more than
$500 in cash and quantity of Gov
eminent Thrift Stamps.
All the hold-ups occurred between :
and o'clock The bandits, described
by the police as boys aboutnineteen
Of twenty years old, held up the
clerks with revolvers.
The chauffeur, Daniel Comaford, is
alleged to have said he did not know
mis- passengers were highwaymen
until they had robbed the fifth store.
He said he got suspicious of them,
put them out of the taxi, then tsle-
phoned the cab company of his sus-
picions and was told to bring the car
back The chauffeur says he got the
robbers at 18th and Vine streets, in
response to telephone call asking
for taxi
Police in West Philadelphia sta
lions had heard of the hold-ups, but
they could not catch up with the taxi
cab. -.
The chauffeur drove the boys, he
said to 62nd street and Lansdowne
avenue, when he made them get out.
He says they ran a way laughing at
he way they had duped him. The
chauffeur told the police he could have
captured the boys if he had carried
a revolver.
