Deliberately travelling moving vans
do more than merely congcst the

Where Gold Failed

One man, who believed he knew
the main ingredients of the average
New York impasse, stormed into
the Office of a big moving and stor-
age company on West Sixty-sixth
Street.
II know it's a hold-upw he
shouted, exhibiting bulging roll.
"Take what you want, but for Gods
sake get me moved"
The size Of his wad and his sys-
TEN of reasoning ordinarily might
have afforded temptation, as an
officer of the storage company smil-
ingly admitted later. But had his
bankroll been as tall as the Mayors
high hat, with crown Of gold, his
mission at this particular Office still
would have len fruitless. All the
rolling stock Of this company was
working on q set schedule. So was
the rolling stock of all the com
panies that comprise the Van Own
ers' Association of Greater New
York, which takes in Manhattan and
The Bronx. These 5000 vans were
booked solidly at $40 hour. New
Workers were paying to this asso-
citation 100000 day for the privi-
lege of being moved.
In his dilemma the exasperated
gentleman might have tried two
other sources. He had recourse to
the smaller moving companies, that
control some 5000 vans, and the
outlaws, who put into the field ap.

Some Figures

The ordinary moving van will
carry from rs to 1870 articles
and requires four hours for an
average moving job. This leads
to the interesting deduction that
during the course of a ten days
moving season 10000 vans, carry
ing an average Of 100 articles
move from one point to another
100000 pieces of furniture and
furnishings.
These 1o.oo0,000 articles, con-
tributing to domestic needs and
happiness, might be moved safely
and with less cost if the business
Of moving could be distributed over
six months of the year That, in
sum, is the platform Of the van
owners and the one on which they

w |HEN play began this sea-
wv son on the giant checker
board that is New York,
there were far more
checkers than squares. Even had
there been sufficient squares there
were not enough fingers to move all
the checkers. Thus there was in
comparable confusion, and pathos
and bathos. And thereby hangs a
tale.
Given some 100000 families (es-
timated) to be moved during the
Aeriod Of a fortnight, with 5000
vans to do the moving, and assum-
ing that the majority of this mi
grafton will take place on Septem-
Der 20 and 80 and October l, and
we'll, it can't be done. Elemental,
Watson" did Holmes say?
What is the answer?
Charles Morris, president of the
Van Owners Association of Greater
New York, says that unless real
estate men mend their ways and
create new system Of leases that
will presume to make spring NOV
ing equipollent to that of fall
in 1920, he and his associates
won't turn a wheel" Mr.. Morris
speaks for 5000 capacious vans, or
$4,000 wheels. Should that come
to pass, where would the checkers
be-and the checkerboard?
Certainly, the current moving
season has been a problem beyond
the ability Of mathematics and
motors to solve. The much harried
New Yorker, caught in the enhlad-
ing fire Of a new situation" has
joked or sworn, laughed or wept,
according to his temperament, or
whether his goods and chattels
were being moved or standing still.
Women in taxicabs or private cars
have made the rounds of trucking
companies and, with suspicious
moisture in their eyes, have begged
to be moved.
New-York tribune., 1919-10-05

ing the books of the Metropolitan
Storage and Warehouse Company,
Mr.. Morris displayed figures which
showed that the vans, drivers and
crews averaged about three and one
half days to a working week as late
as last July and August.

Suffer

Movers Suffer
1t is Mr.. Morris's contention that
not only are movers put to great in
convenience, but that storage and
moving companies suffer actual loss
through the concentration of busi
ness. 1t provides moving companies
with more business than they can
handle i'll season and not enough to
pay expenses out Of season.
Thus, the cost Of one van for one
year amounts to S2,355.6O for up
keep, or S7.85 a day, to which may
be added on the majority of the
three hundred working days SO for
gasolene and oil, $5.38 for driver
S12.75 for helpers and co cents for
compensation, or an expense van
Of S29.53 day.
The cost of van an hour has
been raised from IS to $40, which
would bring in S1O0 for a ten-hour
day and net the van owner a hand
some profit over a season of three
hundred days if-and here is the
proposition in nutshell--there was
work to be done on half those davs.
But there isn't.
AS consequence, the storage and
moving companies that are dealing
with union labor often have to set
their high paid drivers to packing
which ordinarily pays 500 a week
and this cuts into the profits. Open

space Of a few days. There bein,
at length no available space for TIE
storage Which is contracted, the nro
prietor makes shifts handling and "a.
handling goods, in which the element
Of overtime enters-for goods NAV
not be left on the sidewalk-and for
which pay and half is given. The
way the average warehouse is forced
to handle its business during tba
rush season virtually eats Up threa
months profits, according to Mr..
Morris.
The Remedy
This unwieldy situation. tho
president of the van owners de-
clares, can be adjusted by one
simple expedient. It is his idea
that New York realty dealers should
follow the system that has been in
augurated in Chicago, and which
provides for leases that will create
four moving days during the spring
and three during the fall. That
would place the huge volume of
business within the ability of the
organized van owners to handle
and would be less costly to the
mover, and at the same time more
profitable to the van owner.
1t has been argued that the real
estate operator is opposed to this
alteration for the reason that the
concentration of business helps to
establish rent standard. but the
real estate men will not agree to
this, pointing out that the depre-
citation of renting value of any fiat,
apartment or house which remains
unoccupied after October more
than offsets any alleged extra
profit which is gained by the pres
ent modus operandi.
Thus, inasmuch as both parties
agree on the elements of the situa-
ton, the probability is that reform
will be put in order by next season
and that there will be at least two
big moving days, May 1 and Octo-
Der /, as was the custom a decade
ago.
If for nothing else, the present
system of migration could be con-
demned on the grounds of ineffi-
cheney. In many instances two vans
and their crews have stood by
while a third exercised it's advan-
tage in first obtaining the rights to
the freight elevator. Two vans,
static at cost of $40 to $25 an
hour, place moving in a new light,
which is that of outright luxury
Yet in the example given nothing
could be done about it, for the rea-
son that the two vans and their
crews carrying furniture TO an
apartment house were unacquainted
with the fact that the third had
already preempted the moving ia
cilities. That is one reason why
walk-up apartments are favored by
moving companies over those boast
ing freight elevators.

ness of turning a corner without
capsizing is lifted into the realm
of physical science or art. At that,
the goldfish seemed to be the poor
est of imaginable risks.
These and kindred sights were
the result of New York's annual
moving panic, which is best re-
vealed by the light which President
Morris brings to bear upon the stu
alton.

that his money carried weight and
that his suspicious were justified
He might have had the same expo
rience as a prospective mover on
Madison Avenue, who chartered a
van and crew at $40 an hour, con-
graduated himself prematurely on
his bit of brigandage, and was later
forced to new terms Of S25 a hour
when the driver arrived with "new
instructions.
No Chance to Vim
A moving job averages four
hours. Thus the Madison Avenue
tenant paid $10O to get moved,
which is the equivalent of a raise
Of $3.50 monthly on years rent.
Assuming that this man had moved
rather than pay a IS monthly rental
increase, he was actually at a loss to
the sum Of $40, to say nought of
passing through that supreme men
tai and physical test which is a part
Of moving.
1t was this overthrow of the law
of supply and demand that con-
verted New York into a moving
madhouse. The household goods be-
littering the streets created the i'm
preston of frenzied persons fleeing
before a fire, or Of a besieged city
whose residents were making ready
for exodus. Again, it looked as
