Dry Leader Accuses
Brewers of Inciting
To Riot and Revolt

ALBANY, Feb. 25.-Superintenden
William II. Anderson, of the New York
Anti Saloon League, in delivering the
keynote speech Of the organizations
convention tonight, charged German
brewers with melting to riot and re-
bcllion in order to save beer.
LET them beware" he warned, "if
this ungodly bunch starts anything
in America, the decent. sober, Chris
tisn, patriotic people are going to fin
ish it, and finish it so it will stay put.
The legislator or politician, or big
business man or labor leader that gets
in the way is going to be astonished.
In the same orderly way we
have won our rights, we shall punish
those who infringe them.
Germany tried to terrorize the
world, and after her armies are
whipped to standstill on the other
side of the Atlantic we do not intend
to lose the war to the. German brewers
in America 1t is the German brewers
hackers Of th,, German-American ALL
ance, which defended the murder OF
American citizens on the high seas
the ravisiling of Belgium, the cnslave-
ment of French women, the outragine
and crucifixion of Armenian girls, the
bayonetting of babies, that, having
failed to buy Legislatures in this coun-
try to defeat ratification, are now IN
citing to riot and rebellion, willing to
jeopardizc the American nation in or
der to save beer. Let them beware,
"Ihere may be room for honest diff
ference of opinion as to the terms O.
an enforcement measure. but when the
issue of notification is raised we fight
And we will continue to fight until the
Infamous liquor traffic is thrown bacl
into the hell which spawned it and un
til, if necessary, its German brewe
natron saints are sent back to Ger
many, which is as close as we can sent
them to their proper place wlthou
committing manslaughter."

Developments in the Labor Situation

at has been our contention" said be-
chat the eight-hour day is not work
able on floating equipment. The tide
knows no eight-hour day, neither do
ocean steamships. 1t is still our con-
tention that it is not workable. Nor
do we know how the award can be en-
forced. The National War Labor
Board is without power in the matter
No one can say, however, what we will
do until there is a chance for a gen
eral conference"
II am hoping the award is better
than early indications would seem to
show that it is," said F. Paul A.
Vacarelli, international vice-presi-
dent of the Longshoremen's Union.
Until we get that we can only hope
for the best, and l am strong on hop
ing. However, I must say it begins
to look as though the reward the men
get for patience that would make Job
seem quick on the trigger, and their
patriotism in returning to work at the
behest of the President, is very small
indeed
Decision Called Disappointing

know, but it is very sure to be a
grievous disappointment to them, the
more SO as they had the situation in
their own hands when they obeyed the
request of Mr.. Wilson that they re-
turn to work and let the War Labor
Board settle things. It will indeed be
a peculiar situation if the men are
forced to strike again, this time to en-
force an award of national govern
ment board"
Joseph H. Moran, president of the
New York Towboat Exchange, said the
award is not binding on the members
of his association.
"Mr. Macy's award" said he, "is only
recommendatory to US. 1t binds only
the railroad administration and the
equipment of the army and navy. l
do not know how we can operate on an
eight hour basis. We might use the
basic eight hour day and pay over
time, but the trouble with that is it
will make the port charges too high
Already they are so high the port is
being disseminated against, and there
is falling off in business in con-
sequence. Ny own boats have been
operating on 80 per cent basis since
January l."
The Marine Engineers held regular
meeting last night, but took no action
on the award.

Shoe Operators to Confer
Move Made to End Strike of
10000 in CITY

A move to end strike of
some 10000 workers in 1875 New York
shoe manufacturing plants yesterday
was made last night at meeting of
the executive committees of Locals
No. 1 and of the Shoe Operators
Union. The committees voted to con-
fer to-day with the manufacturers.
James Campbell, business agent of
Local No. i, asserted yesterday that it
was not regular" strike, but merely
an effort to get hearing on the work
crs' demands for an increase in pay
and an eight-hour instead of a ten
hoGr day. Ten factories settled yes

Union Leaders Hint
At Strike Renewal;
Men to Meet To-day

The Marine Workers. Affiliation will
meet in the rooms Of the Marine Engi-
neers' Benevolent Association, 26 Park
Place, at 1880 o'clock this morning to
consider the award made in Washng-
ton yesterday nits demands for the
aight-hour day and higher wages. Of
fcias of the association said last
night they feared the result would be
a resumption of the strike which was
called off on January II at the request
Of President Wilson.
The several boat owners associa-
tlons will also meet this morning.
Speaking for them last night, Paul
Bonynge, their counsel, said until the
full award had been received in New
York it would be impossible for any one
to say what would be DONE
eve understand" said he, chat
there are abobut 5000 words in the
document. 1t is better, think, to wait
say anything about its contents''
Thomas L. Delahunty, president of
the Marine Workers. Affiliation, indi-
Gated that another appeal would be
made to President Wilson to secure
what the men declare is but simple JUS
tice.
Aid from Wilson Expected.
Mr.. Wilson is at home now," said
ne, land we hope that he will have
tune to attend to this matter.
Meantime, 1t seems that we won
on points and lost on the decision
We had the strike and all of our de-
mands won when at the request Of
the President the men went back to
work. We had the port tied up and
we were IN perfect position to get
those things we did not strike for when
the country was at war. Now that the
crisis is over we get?
When the strike was called off it
was understood that the War Labor
Board would hear the evidence and
render decision and the war. nav
and railroad departments of the GOV.
ernmcnt would abide by the award
and see that it was carried out. In
stead Of deciding it, Mr.. Taft passed
the buck to Mr.. Macy and now we get
this thing. The award is not even re-
troactive.
"Of Course the men get the eight
hour day That is something. They
may be satisfied. II they are. am.
To- morrows meeting Of the affiliation
when we have the full award before
US viii probably indicate what action
will be taken.
Penalty for Patriotism Charged
"Personally, feel, and / know that
many OF the members of this organiza-
ton feel. that they are the victims of
government boards and commissions
failing to function properly and Of our
refusal to do anything while the coun-
try was. IN war that would in any way
Jeopardize the success OF it's cause or
the safety Of the boys at the front.
Many Of the men feel they are now
being pcnalizcd for having been pa
triotic."
A prominent boat owner said last
night the award could not be satisfac-

greater production per hour than pre-
viously prevailed. The records do not
show how the efficiency of the harbor
crafts can be increased by shortening
the work day. An increase of 35 per
cent in the labor charge, due to re-
duced hours of work in operating the
harbor crafts, would in itself be a
heavy burden to carry and precludes
granting an increased wage at the same
time.
"There is little or no evidence in the
records as to the wages now being paid
in other ports for similar services. We
cannot assume that the cost of moving
freight in the port of New York has
no relation to the cost in other ports,
and an unwarranted cost might easily
result in diverting freight, thus react
ing unfavorably on the marine work
ers Of New York.
Present Scale to Continue
81 therefore find that no wage in
crease should be granted, and that the
wage scales in the award Of the New
York harbor board, dated July IL, 1918,
and those in the award of the railroad
administration board, dated September
l, 1918, shall remain in effect during
the life of this award; that those en-
ployes whose working day is herein re-
duced from twelve hours to eight hours
shall receive the same monthly salary
as previously"
Details Of the award covering work
ing conditions include:
l. Double time shall be paid for
work on New Years Day, Fourth of
July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day.
2. Double time shall be paid for work
on Sundays unless the employe already
has had ore days rest in seven or will
have one such day in the current swing
Of his shift.
g. Crews are entitled to pay on Sun
days and holidays for only the actual
number Of hours they aro~on duty.
4. One weeks vacation. with pay shall
be allowed each employee who has been
in the service of the company for one
year or more.
8. Carfare is to be paid by the en-
ployer when boats change crews at
ether than designated points.
6. Each captain of lighters, covered
barges or holsters skall receive S1.5O
for each night he is required to be on
his boat for the purpose of watching
or towing. Each captain of scows,
bumpers, coal boats or grain boats
shall receive $3.50 for each night he
is required to be active for at least one
hour after 6 p. m. in loading or dis
charging cargo.

Union Opposes Extension
OF u. S. Seamen's Act
International Committee Says
Matter Should Be Left to
Sailors of Various Countries

LONDON, Feb. 25.-The committee
of the International Seafarers' Union
appointed yesterday to consider the
American seamen's act to-day sub
mitted its resolution to the conference
and declared that in the opinion of the
committee the extension of the act to
all countries would be detrimental to
their seamen.
1t suggested that the extension of
the principles Of the act should be left
to the judgment and efforts of the sea-
men of each country.
The resolution said the committee
recognized that the act worked bene-
ficially to the American seamen and
recommended that every effort should
be put forth to maintain the act in its
present scope in the ports Of the Unite
States.
The conference postponed discussion
of the resolution until tomorrow.

employees of Paris slaughter houses

and, second, the prohibition of clan
destine markets by insistence upon
a direct transfer Of meat from slaugh-

NJ Vilgrain, Under Secretary of the
Ministry of Provisions, has promised
the men that the tax would be abol-
ished. Should the strike continue,
Paris will be without meat IN a few

Government Gets Only
Small Part Of Raise
In Price of Drinks

a boost of cents or 10 cents was
given to the cost of every alcoholic
drink sold in this city yesterday. This
was the first effect seen of the signing
of the new revenue bill by President
Wilson.
The liquor dealers without hesitation
passed the increased liquor tax on to
the ultimate consumer. And it was
noted that they left tidy little sum
to be raked into their own tills.
Even before the local revenue col
lectors' offices were apprised officially
of the Presidents act the drink dis
pensers had begun to profit by the law.
The increased price list, it was esti-
mated yesterday, gave the dealers from
$1.2O to $3.50 more a gallon in profit
than the day before.
