N. Y. CITY'S TECHNICAL
MEN ASK HYLAN'S AID
Seek $500 Yearly Increase for
Each and GiUe Reasons.

B. L. Schneider, Independent Of the
Union OF Technical Men. which has
sought the Mayors help In obtaining a
fiat Increase Of $500 in the salaries of its
members employed by the city, wrote a
letter yesterday 20 the Mayor, saying in
part:
THE increase will affect about $500
men, Of which 2,s70 are receiving less
than $4,000. and in addition SEQ men
employed by the Transit Construction
Commission. The amount involved is
about $1,250.000 for city departments. of
which probably not more than 3635.o0
will be chargeable to the budget. The
Transit Construction Commission would
require S330,OOO additional, chargeabls
TO rapid transit funds.
Government statistics indicate that
necessities have advanced almost rs per
cent. in the last four years. In Addi-
ton the dollar to-day Is worth less than
so cents was four years ago.
"On the above facts alone we are
justified in requesting a 100 per cent.
Increase in the salaries paid the techni-
cal men employed by the city OF Now
York in 1915. The salaries OF these
workers, however. have been advanced
but per cent. in the last four years. The
average salary in 1915 OF all technical
men employed ny the city who were
receiving less than $4,000 was $3.50,
and to-day II Is but 1854. The city Is
paying these men, relatively at least. so
per cent, less than four years ago. We
believe not alone Is this unfair and UNI
Just but It is decidedly poor business
policy to follow"

COAL TAR CORRUPTS
WATER AT BEACHES
Bathers Driven Ashore, Says
Plant to Governor.

Franklin Taylor of the Waterway
League OF America sent a letter to Gov
Smith yesterday asking him to order an
investigation OF the deposit OF coal tar
by factories bordering tho waterfront.
declaring that frequently so much OF
this by-product gets into the river and
ocean waters as to contaminate the
bathing beaches.
He said that at Manhattan Beach
about ten days ago thousa nds of bathers
were obliged to quit the beach with suits
ruined and their bodies so smeared with
coal tar that they had to use kerosene
to remove It. New Jersey coast resorts
report a similar condition, he said. and
the suggestion was made that New Jer-
sey officials be asked TO cooperate in the
investigation.
Mr. Taylor said that the factories do
not regularly discharge coal tar into the
river, but only when a considerable
amount of the product has accumulated.
The coal tar Is only visible in a dead
calm. although the water may he full OF

damage was done to the hulls Of vessels

TIGER HEARS HEARST
WANTS TWO JUDGES
Emissary Says Editor Also De-
sires Justice Luce Retired
From Bench.

According to reports yesterday. q mes
senger from William Randolph Hearst
has told the Tammany leaders that the
only way they may expect to get the sup
port Of the editor and his newspapers N
the campaign is to turn down Supreme
Court Justice Robert L. Luce for re7
nomination and renominate not only CitE
Court Judge Henry A. Allen bu. aIsu
City Court Judge Richard H. Smith. Mr..
Hearst is in San Francisco. but the man
who went to Tammany Hall declared. ~
the report says, that he was authorized
to speak for him.
Because OF the snarl into which the
situation has developed OYER .he attitude
to take toward Mr.. Hearst the meeting
OF the Tammany executive committee for
the purpose OF picking the slate has been
postponed until Monday. 1t is not UNI
likely that this has been done in order
that messages may be exchanged be-
tween Mr.. Hearst and the leaders here.
IL is considered out OF the question that
Tammany Hall will turn down Justice
Luce. However. there lie a division of
sentiment as TO the wisdom of in a
mea sure tying the hands of Mr.. Hearst
by renominatins his friend, Judge Allen.
Those who are familiar with the pre-
vailing sentiment believe that 10 the end
Tammany will so to the bat free from all
Hearst influence and that the CITY
Court ticket will be materially changed
from the original plans. 1T Is not at all
Impossible. II was said, that Judge Cor
nelius J. Collins. who on the assurance
that he would get a nomination for the
City Court permitted himself to be Jug
gled by the Mayor from a term on the
