Labor Will Resist
Cut in Wages, Says
Frank Morrison

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Reduction
of present wage scales in the United
States will be opposed by the workers,
Frank Morrison, secretary of the Amer
lcan Federation of Labor, said in a
statement tonight dealing with recon-
struction as it affects labor. Any de-
crease in wages will mean a lowering
Of living standards, he said, and this
the workmen will resist.
"Regardless of the wishes of individ-
uals or groups" said Mr.. Morrison,
any reduction of present wage scales
in this country will be opposed by the
workers, who will not accept wage re-
duo ions, for the simple reason that
this procedure will lower their standard
OF living, and by standard of living l
refer to substantial food, clothing,
housing, and all necessaries te we'll
ordered life.
The most of living is not theory
with the workers, it is a plain, un-
vanished tale, that cannot be ex-
plained away by sophistry. The United
States Bureau of Statistics shows that
living costs are mounting higher and
higher. Its report for August this
year shows an increase of 2 per cent
over last July, an increase of Is per
cent between August last year and
August this year, and an increase of
10 per cent during the five year period
between August. 1918, and August, 1918.
"The light to live comes first, ana
workers will resist any attempt to re-
cuce their living standards, in view of
present costs, even though some en-
ployer talks of capturing the markets
of the world
81 am hopeful that the best thought
among employers and other elements
Of our citizenship will agree that
nothing will create more internal tur-
moil than denial that the highest
possible living standards for workers
is the first requisite for the America
we dream to have.
"The eight-hour day should be ac-
cepted bv every manufacturer, not only
because the transition to a peace basis
NAV be orderly through the quick as
similation of workers. but for the
larger reasons that have so often been
advanced in favor Of a shorter work
day"
New-York tribune., 1918-11-26
NeD York Put Under
Army Provost Guard
Till Troops Disband

In order to meet the situation that
will arise when thousands Of Amer-
can troops begin returning to this
country, a new police department has
been established in New York. 1t is
the United States Army Provost Guard.
The Provost Guard will have two
jobs. First, to maintain order among
too enthusiastic returned soldiers; sec
ond to protect the soldiers against
bootleggers and others who might prey
upon mustered-out soldiers with dis
charge pay in their pockets.
1t is believed the recent peace cele-
brations, during which men in uni
form were able to obtain almost any
quantity of liquor. had something to
do with the establishment of the
guard: The provost guard in New
York is the onl such organization this
country has known during this war.
Major General J. Franklin Bell, com
mander of the army's Eastern Depart
ment. might be termed the "police COM
missioner" of New York's "police de e
partment No. g" The provost guard
was established by him, and it will
operate under his general orders.
The guard is largely a reorganization
of the battalion of military police, now
OlSSCiIbiilucu which Major lnOmaS
commanded. Major Thomas is in
charge of the new guard. The former
military police barracks at Centre
Street and City Hall Place will be
headQuarters of the guard
New York's new police force will un-
dertake to police the entire city, oper-
ating among civilians ard soldiers
alike, in the same sense that the old
fashioned buecoated department does.
The former military police was chiefly
concerned in maintaining order among
the soldiers in town.
The provost guard, having purely po-
lice duties, will be organized along po-
lice lines. 1t will have a plainclothes
squad that will work among civilians
having dealings with soldiers. Members
of this squad were detectives before
entering the United States service
There will be a mobile squad which
may be dispatched on short notice to
any part of the town in event of emer-
gencies.
The patrolmen of the guard will have
fixed beats and will work in eight
hour shifts the same as blue-coated po-
'icemen. The patromen of Uncle
Sans police force will wear armlets
bearing the letters "P. G." and will
carry clubs and revolvers at their
sides.
There will be the closest cooperation
between New York's two police forces,
according to officers of the provost
guard. While members of the guard
have the authority to arrest civilians
they are instructed to exercise this
right only in emergencies. When the
guard wishes to arrest civilian, rem
resentatives of the blue-coated force
will be taken along to make the arrest
formally and to book the prisoner on a
Police Department blotter
The Provost Guard now numbers
about 300. It's strength will be added
to as the soldiers begin returning from
France. The 500 are the pick of half
d dozen nearby cantonments. The
greatest care was exercised to find the
right type Of soldier for the work in

Headquarters Opened
For Jewish War Fund
DR.. S. Lowenstein to Report on
Conditions in Palestine in
Speech at Biltnore

Headquarters for the 1918 Jewish
War Relief campaign for New York
City, to be waged during the week of
December 8, were opened yesterday in
the Biltmore Hotel, from where the
details of the movement to raise
S5,000,00 for the relief of the Jews in
Palestine will be worked out. In the
music room Of the Biltmore tonight
DR.. Solomon Lowenstein, who has Just
returned from Palestine, where he
went as member of the American Red
Cross, as we'll as a representative of
the joint distribution committee, with
especial reference to the Jews, will
make q report on actual conditions as
ne learned them at first hand there.
The campaign to be carried on in the
week of December is a repetition of
a campaign conducted last year, when
s5,ooo,ooo was quickly raised, princ-
pally among the Jews of New York
City. The fund to be raised next
month will be for reconstruction work
and also to help alleviate suffering
said to be greater than ever
During the campaign no solicitations
will be made among non-J ews, al
though they will be permitted to COZ
tribute to the fund. 1t is not case of
charity, but the duty of every Jew to
aid his fellow men, is the attitude
which those in charge of the New York
campaign have adopted
A number of functions are planned
between now and the beginning of the
drive on December 8, the details of
which are being worked out.

Charged Crookedness

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.-As the
result of an assault last night on Ere

Peace Not
Yet With Us.

Speaking of the Holi-

the necessity of conserv-
ing man power is still

The signing of an
arrnistice merely pre-
sages the signing of a

not in itself alter war

able circumstances which attended this
great effort are borne in mind, the re-
suit becomes all the more remarkable.
No great campaign was ever preceded
by such q brief preparation. Even the
scant two months left for this purpose
were cut into for three weeks by the
Fourth Liberty Loan, and near the
threshold Of the campaign itself, by
a general Congressional election.
Our men are now face to face with
the three gravest tests-thc test of
victory, the test Of rehabilitation, and
the test of readjustment The timely
generosity OF the American people
makes possible the meeting success
fully Of these trying experiences. We
can prevent the period of demobiliza-
tlon becoming one of decentralization.
We can make sure that the coming
months, with their great vacant spaces,
shall be months not of physical, mental
and moral weakening for our men, but
months of character building, of
growth in useful knowledge, of in
crease IN working efficiency, and of
preparation for assuming the larger
Responsibilities of citizenship which
await them on their return to their
home communities.
The campaign has furnished the
most impressive example thus far af-
forded Of religious unity and coopera-
ton. When before have the leaders and
the many millions of followers of the
Protestant, Roman Catholic and Jew
ish religious bodies of great nation
joined forces for the accomplishment
of a common, unseltish object? The
campaign has generated in many a
community an atmosphere of truer un-
derstanding-an atmosphere in which
men come loathe to differ and to de-
termine to understand. 1t is a great
thing for any people when, without
weakening or sacrificing any vital prin-
ciples, they make up their minds or re-
solve that they will seek to underet tand
those from whom they may have con-
scientiously differed.
TO al who have so generously given
of their time and effort, from the Presi-
dent and his associates to the humblest
giver, the campaign committee sends
thanks. not for itself, but for those
to whom the gifts will mean so much
in these next crucial months, the brave
men Of our army and navy"
Quota Exactly Filled
The wind-up gathering at the Bilt-
more, which was attended by DR.. Mott
and representatives of foreign govern
ments, came as the third "final" meet
ing of the local campaign, which had
been extended twice to allow the city
to reach its quota. The industrial di-
vision of Manhattan, under Judge Ell
bert H. Gary. and the Brooklyn division
shared the honors for the largest to-
tails for the day. The totals finally an

dows could take dimes away from them.
When the doors were closed by order
OF the police at 9:45 the double line
stlll reached to Fourth Avenue.
-, Those waiting to get in cheered when
ner" and the "Marseillaise" foated ont
from the building. but when the "In-
ternatlonaP' sounded they went wild
with enthusiasm.
About seventy-fve soldiers and sail
ors arrived early in body and tried
to force their way in without paying.
They were shunted aside by the police,
and Sergeant Thomas Robinson, of the
East Fifty-first Street police station,
took club about four feet long away
from sailor who was having poor sue
cess in trying to stuff it down leg
of his trousers.
The uniformed police were under the
command of Chief Inspector Daily. In
spector Cray was in charge of the de
