WILL DEMAND TUBE
TO STATEN ISLAND
Committee From Three BOr-
Oughs Plans to Press Tun-
mel Project.

In an attempt to spur the Board Of
Estimate to action, the Joint committee
of fifteen representing Brooklyn,
Queens and Staten Island. which has
as its object the promotion of one
freight and one passenger tunnel con-
Meeting Brooklyn with Staten Island,
will hold its first meeting soon.
The object OF the committee Is to
induce the Board Of Estimate to appro-
pirate sufficient funds to build rapid
transit connections from the Fourth
avenue subway in Bay Ridge in the vi
cinity Of Sixty-fifth street to to be
designated place on Staten Island. thus
linking up the Manhattan, Brooklyn
and Queens tubes.
It would give Staten Island direct
connection with the Long Island Rail-
road and would likewise connect Rich
mond with the proposed marginal rail-
road along the Brooklyn waterfront
as far as Newtown Creek. Through
the proposed tubes the residents Of
Staten island would only be thirty
minutes from the Manhattan financial
district without change OF cars. Fur
thermore, 1t would eliminate the loss
of time. business and money that is
incurred every winter by halts in ferry
service due to ice in the bay. The
freight tunnels would enable Brooklyn
and ship goods direct in carload lots
without the delays and expense Incl
dent to transportation by lighterage and
car floats.
The committee thinks that both i'm
provements would more than pay for
themselves through the natural increase
in taxable values in the three bor-
oughs. Roughly. the cost of the tun-
neis Is estimated at s15.000.000. Mayor
Hylan. in a more or less general way,
has approved the project. Some weeks
ago Staten Island sent to the Board
of Estimate a petition bearing 10000
signatures and urging the construction
of a tunnel from the Battery to st.
George or from Bay Ridge to st.
George. The petition was reported
favorably by the Transit Committee of
the Board OF Estimate and the Comp
troller has been asked to report to the
board upon the availability OF the nee
essary funds for the tube

TECHNICAL MEN
EXTEND WAGE DRIVE
Seek Help of Civic Organiza-
tions in Salary Fight.

An appeal has been made by the
Union Of Technical Men recently organ
lied among the city employees to interest
and enlist the cooperation OF civic organ
izatiols in their movement to get better
salaries
In a letter sent to such bodies in the
city yesterday it is stated that they can
not live properly under the present scale
and that the quality OF the service is
likely to sink to the level OF the money
now paid to them.
These men, they say, are now engaged
in preparing plans and specifications and
contracts and supervising work involving
an expenditure of s100.000,000.
"a continuation OF existing condi-
tons" the letter reads. will rapidly
lead to a deterioration of the technical
force. Due to the fact that many of
these men who are experts In city affairs
must devote overtime and vacations to
outside work in order to live properly.
they have not the necessary energy or
incentive left to take proper interest in
the city's business"
Many of the heads of departments
have put in requests for increases for
their technical men. but they expect that
a fight will have to be made in the
Board OF Estimate to prevent some Of
them being cut out.

police chiefs of the United States to aid
him in Ending positions for discharged

charged from service have been placed
In good positions.
Col Woods In his letter to the police
chiefs said: Police know more about the
city they guard than any other group Of
men. They are constantly in touch with
all the different phases of city life. From
time to time many of them come In con-
tact with people who have Jobs open, and
the policemen might be instrumental In
seeing to II that these Jobs are given to
soldiers or sailors. II the police in your
city could keep an eye out for oppor-
tunlties for work and upon finding them
could notify the employment service 1t

to be three. The greatest source Is the
yellow press. The next are the various
forums. where grievances or alleged
grievances are aired relating to labor.

Government And, finally, statements
made by well known men occupying Of

opposing methods to bring about peace,
charging fatal results from prohibition
and predicting the downfall of civiliza-

THE number Of these young Bolshe-

Just opposed to policies. They are
against the Government and openly pro-

downfall. This fellowship is doing what
1t can to stem this tide. There is need

MANY SOLDIERS WE'D,
THEN LOOK FOR JOBS
Some Become Bridegrooms
Before Getting Discharged.

Some of our ex-soldiers get married
before they get jobs-some of them get
married even before they are discharged
and only a few OF the more cautious
seek job first and a wife second.
These conclusions are drawn from the
statistics compiled by e. w. Drake,
chief of the registration division of the
Job bureau at sos Pearl street About
half the men applying for positions have
dependents.
out of 2i5. applicants slxty-six said
they would get married when they found
steady employment, and according to
Alfred l.. Smith; secretary of the re-
employment committee, marriage license
records show an increase in the number
of weddings.
The bureau has several hundred good
positions to fill and has met with some
difficulty in finding men qualified for
them. The most urgent cases receive
first attention. Hundreds OF boys have
got discouraged looking for civilian
employment and have reenlisted so not
to be a burden to their families.

G. A. Pemberton of Denver walked of with the prize caribou head, it's antlers having a spread of 47h inches, length 51h inches, and 26 points.
 The facts that the Cassiar Dis trict borders ca the Arctic Circle and is not easy of access are no drawbacks from the sportsmen's point of view. On the contrary they enhance it's desirability because they preserve it from any great influx of hunters and insure fine spells for the fortunate few who h;.,a:: there.
