TAMMANY AGAIN IN
ANTI-HYLAN MOVE.
Heads of Departments Get
Right to Fill Vacancies
without Permit.
HELPS PATRONAGE LIST
Mayor Is Advised to Order
Chiefs to Ignore Privilege
by Citizens Union Counsel.

Further evidence that Tammany Hall
is preparing to make itself as independ-
ent Of Mayor Hylan as possible, so far
as patronage il concerned, was found
yesterday, when the combination recently
formed against Mayor Hylan and Comp
troller Craig In the Board of Estimate
forced through a resolution giving to the
Borough Presidents and heads of all de-
partments the right to I'LL vacancies In
exempt positions without getting per-
mission of the Board OF Estimate after
an investigation.
Leonard waiistein, counsel to the good
government committee OF the Citizens
Union, denounced It last night as "a de-
cided step backward in municipal ad-
ministration." II throws into the dis
card the system built up under Mayor
Mitchell through the Bureau OF Stand
ards, which prevented department heads
from filling vacancies for patronage pur-
poses, he said, and added that often en-
ployees who had become unnecessary
died. Their places were not filed and
the city saved the money. The patron
age way, and Tammany Is seeking pa
tronage. he said. Is to spend all the
money In the budget regardless Of any
opportunities to save.
The action taken yesterday was or
motion of President Moran of the Board
of Aldermen and was opposed only by
the Mayor and the Comptroller. Mr.
Wallstein points out to the Mayor In a
statement that he may and should order
his department heads to ignore this
privilege extended them. and to I'LL nc
vacant positions before an Investigation
by some one OF the Mayors investiga-
tors. such as the Commissioner of Ac-
counts.
The Board OF Estimate authorized the
appointment of ten additional police
women at $1,000 a year.

river bath that had been sold by the
last administration for 5000.
why didn't they give It away?'
wallstein did not investigate that trans
action"
President Bowling explained that the
bath probably was one OF several that
had been sold because the Board OF
Health had stopped the river bathing
at several points. There was nothing
brought forward to show that the s2.500
asked for the return Of the bath was at
all justified. President Riegelmann also
wanted $4,000 for the repair OF the
structure. The proposition was referred
to the Committee on Finance and
Budget

WAR CRIPPLE SUES
FOR FAMILY HOME
Asks Removal OF Woman
Named as Administrative Of
David Tidlow Estate.
NO RELATION, IS CHARGE
Claim Alleges 4 Children Were
Placed in 0rphanage and
Furniture Sold,

Surrogate wingate Of Kings county
issued yesterday a citation directing
Mary Shredder to show cause why she
should not be removed as the adminls-
trstrix OF the estate of David Fidlow.
who died in the Kings County Hospital,
Brooklyn, In July lsst, leaving six
mothsriess children. the two oldest Of
whom carry wounds Of the great war.
The action was inspired by the May
or's Committee on Rent Proflteering, as
explained by Nathan Hirsch, chairman.
to protect the rights Of the MANNED sol
diers, their brothers and sister. The Pc
tition was filed by Benjamin Fidlow, the
oldest son, who was shot in the right
leg In the Argonne, october IL. 1918.
His leg was amputated in a field hos
ptal ut Verdun three days later. Young
Fidlov Ia now at General Hospital No.
3, near Railway. N. J. George C. Nor
ton, who is connected with the commit
tne OF lawyers aiding the Mayors COM
mittee, appeared as Fidlow's attorney.
Benjamin Fidlow enlisted when he
was is years old and Solomon, his
brother. now IS, was a volunteer at l6.
The second young patriot was wounded
in the left leg at st. MihIel and Is back
in Brooklyn after an honorable discharge
from the army.
Father Died During War.
David Fidlow died while his soldier
boys were fighting for their country, and
his other children, Louis, 16: Herman,
II; Harry, IL. and Ruth, who Is nearly
D. were placed in the Hebrew Orphan
Asylum at Ralph avenue and Dean
street, Brooklyn.
Not long ago BENJAMIN Fidlow hobbled
into the headquarters OF the Mayors
committee on his good leg and asked
Mr.. Hirsch and his coworkers to help
him. He said he had learned that Mary
Shredder. who. he insisted. was no rela-
tion to his father, had been appointed
Administrative on her representation
that she was the only adult next of kin.
He alleged that she took possession Of
his fathers bank account amounting 10
1900, collected a like sum In INSURANCE.
and sold the Fidlow furniture for some
thing in the neighborhood OF $25.
But what hurt the young soldier most,
he said, was that the old Fidlow home
In a two family house at 54s New Jer-
sey avenue, Brooklyn, owned jointly by
his dead mother, Mary Fidlow. and one
Ethel Fefneman, had been rented BY the
administrators while his brothers and
his sister were In the asylum.
The ADMINISTRATIVE claim that she Is
cousin Of David Fidlow, deceased. was
disputed by Benjamin Fidiow in his pc
tition. and he was corroborated In sup
porting affidavits by two brothers and
three other atlantis. one of whom was
Mayer Miner.
The object of the proceedings. Mr..
Norton says. is to GUST Mary SHREDDER
as Administrative and have the Surro-
gate appoint In her place the eldest
Fidlow soldier boy. who has a right
prior to that OF all others under the law
to administer his fathers estate for the
benefit of himself and dis sister and
little brothers.

need of better pay. for the 5000 to
S1,0S0 grades include some of the
largest groups of employees in the en-
tire government service. 1t is difficult
to believe that the House will let it
stand. once the members realize how
they have confused the temporary in
crease of S24O, for the current year.
with the permanent provisions of the
Nolan minimum wage bill.
The S240 increase was intended as
continuation and enlargement of the
war increase granted by Congress to
enable government workers to cope
with the high cost of living. AS the
latest estimate of the United States
bureau of labor statistics puts the
necessary minimum income for a fam
lily to live in decency and reasOnabl
comfort at $500, it is obvious that
the workers receiving 5000 to $1.0S0,
who. under the Nolan bill and the
S240 increase would have but $3.50
and by this amendment are deprived
of part of that sum, are among
those where the struggle for exist
ence is hardest. They are the very
ones who should be helped and not
deprived of relief in such case as
this"
The Nolan bill is sponsored by Rep
resentative John L Nolan of Califor-
MIA, and is regarded by the National
the most important piece of legisla-
ton now before Congress affecting
government workers. The federation,
which has 1877 local unions throughout
the country. has made vigorous
campaign for passage of the bill, and
will put up stiff fight for defeat OF
the Good amendment
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-07-10
Effect of Amendment.

The Good amendment If accepted
ny the House. will deliver serious
blow to the Thousand of government
workers in the salary grades between
5000 and S1.0S0. 1t provides that
OF SIS per day. or S1.oS0 per year. ap-
plies the two-hundre a nd forty dol
lar temporary increase granted by the
last Congress as an addition to all
salaries of $500 or less shall be con-
sidered part of the base pay.
The effect of this is to deny TO the
employees receiving between $500 and
81 $50 at least a part of the S240 in
crease. That is to say. the $500 en-
ploye. who since July has been receiv-
ing the 500 increase, or S1,140 per
wear, and who should under the No
Ian bill as reported by the House Ia
Dor committee have his base pay
raised to 81 $50. with the S240 increase
still coming to him. will continue to
receive only S1.140, instead of the
Sl.S2o he should otherwise expect. The
81 900 employe. who with the s240 in
,rease now has a salary of S1,24O. Will
continue to receive just that amount.
instead of receiving. under the Nolan
hill, SlnN0 as his base pay, with an
addition of S24G. or a total of S1.320.
Representative Nolan. Immediately
upon the adoption of the vote-on the
Good amendment, moved that the
committee rise, and the House shortly
thereafter adjourned.

DEMANDS ALL nations
Be LEAGUE EL|GBLES

NEW YORK, July 10.--A demand
that all the nations of the world be
made eligible to the league of nations
was expressed in a resolution unani-
mous'y adopted here yesterday at the
first annual congress Of the Pan Ameri-
can Federation of Labor by delegates
from ten countries, including the
United States.
The demand was formulated in an
amendment proposed by Samuel Com
pers, president of the congress and
head of the American Federation of
Labor. following report by COM
mittee on resolutions indorsing the
league of nations.
Lively discussion was precipitated
by the report, several of the dele
gates contending that it was "unrea-
sonable' to expect the labor move
ment in countries which had not been
admitted to the league to do more
than sympathize with its general
aims.
