Borough President
Clashes With Union
OF City Employees
Comnolly spurns Circular
Reply of Technical Men
to His Query as to Why
They Seek Higher Salaries

New York's technical employees, con-
sisting chiefly of engineering experts,
yesterday struck a serious obstacle in
their campaign to obtain fat in
crease in salary of $500 a year each.
The engineers, organized into the
Union of Technical Men, have made
numerous direct and indirect demands
upon the city for the $500 increase,
which, they declare, is necessary to
lift some of their members out of
positions worse than those of we'll
paid office boys. But no definite reply
has been made to them.
A few days ago Borough President
Connolly called upon all employees of
the borough to send in letters giving
the reasons why they feel they should
receive increases in pay, along with
information concerning previous in
creases during their employment with
with form letters, written on the sta
tlonery of their organization,' asking
for $500 year increase and giving
the increased cost of living as their
reason for naming this sum.
The Borough President refused to
accept the letter and replied to them
with this form letter, mailed yester-
day:
"To all employees other than those
whose salaries are regulated by the
labor laws, and all those holding the
position of sweeper and laborer: Re-
ferrng to the notice heretofore issued
requesting those desiring to be recon-
mended for an increase in salary to
communicate that fact, together with
other information, it is hereby ordered
and directed that all persons who have
already replied and who shall hereaf-
ter reply to such notice shall submit
all of the information referred to in
said communication. For this purpose
those who have already made reply
may withdraw the same if they so de-
sire. In the event that they do not do
so, they are ordered and directed to
supply, on or before August 26, all of
the information and data mentioned in
said circular. Failure to comply strict
ly with this order will be regarded as
disobe dience of instructions"
1t was intimated that charges will
be filed against such of the union men
as fail to obey the instructions.

Urges Plumb Plan In City
The report on transportation was
presented by Ben Howe. 1t contained
the following resolution, calling for
the application of the Plumb plan to
the city's transit situation:
"Whereas, Extensions of existing
transportation systems will more and
more be needed to relieve the pressure
of inadequate housing Accommodations; !;
and
whereas, These extensions should
be planned not to benefit any group of
financial interests but rather to meet
"Whereas, Many of the transporta-
ton systems of New York City are
demanding increased fares as a means
of paying dividends; and
"Whereas, 1t is unjust that the peo-
pie Of this city should be forced to
submit to higher fares in order that
dividends may be paid on heavily
watered stock. and
wv hereas, 1t is essential in the pub
lie interest that the necessity Of cost
ly strikes on the city railway systems
be averted therefore, be it
Resolved, That the American Labor
Party of Greater New York declares
that the time has come for an applica-
tion of the Plumb plan to the rail-
way systems of this great city: and be

"Hesolved, That with this end in view
we propose, as the broad outlines Of
q system of transportation best de-
signed to meet the interest of both

THAT the railways be owned by the city

said that the defendants were among

election in order to give the party a
chance to perfect its organization
Among those who favored this policy
were E. I. Hanna and Ernest Boehm.
president and secretary, respectively,
Of the Central Federated Union. A
compromise was finally effected where
by nominations for the two aforemen-
toned Offices only were made.
Curtis Is Selected
Commissioner Thomas Curtis of the
Compensation Bureau of the State of
New York was named for President
of the Board of Aldermen amid cheer
ing and applause that lasted for three
minutes. Mr.. Curtis was placed in
nomination by Ben Howe, of the re-
search bureau of the American Labor
Party. He at first declined the nomi-
but wns forced to accept it by the
convention. Mr. Curtis is also presi-
dent of the International Tunnel and
Subway Constructors Union, and has
spent many years in the labor move
mcnt.
Thomas L. Delahunty, president of
the Marine Workers Affiliation, was
nominated for Sheriff.
Many observers regarded the action
of some delegates ,at the convention
in opposing the nomination of candi-
dates in this campaign by the party
as the work Of Tammany Hall men,
who obtained official position at the
convention at the direction of Charles
Murphy. The sentiment in favor of
nominating candidates, however, was
overwhelming.

candidates by the party in this cam

faction Of the masses with the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties, made the
moment highly auspicious for the
Labor party to make it's debut. Arthur
Rogers, delegate representing the
Dock and Pier Carpenters Union, made
the point that so widespread was the
redical sentiment throughout the city
that "even the policemen are becoming
Bolsheviki." 1t was he who swung the
convention in favor Of nominating can
didates at once.
Another delegate made the point that
labor is waiting for party of its own
to vote for, and "since the Socialist
party committed suicide in' 1917,
labor is looking to the American Labor
party to gain for the workers on the
political field what they cannot gain
on the industrial field"
William Koha, chairman Of the New
York branch of the American Labor
party, who presided at the convention,
denounced both the Democratic and
Republican parties as "betraycrs of la
boz" He said that the Labor party
has taken root in more than fifty cities
and that the party was bound to grow
until it gains control of the govern
ment machinery Of the nation"
vote As We Strike"
"The workingmen of America are
realizing," he said "that the old par
ties cannot and do not want to serve
them. They are realizing that they
are entitled to something more than a
mere fair wage, that they are entitled
to the same kind of living as their
employer, one that will enable them to
educate and bring up their children
as he does his. The time has come
when better conditions for the work
ers can be brought about by the action
of the workers themselveses. AS long
as the workmen are not organized into
a party Of their own they are only SO
per cent organized. We can never be
100 per cent organized until we are or
ganized both on the political and in
dustrial fields, until we learn to vote
as we strike"
Mr.. Koha predicted that the Ameri-
can labor party is not mushroom
organization and that "it has come to
stay and grow until it captures every
thing in sight"

of committee reports touching upon
