Moving Van Men
Are Booked Up on
October l Jobs
They Have Plan Afooi to
Have Work Scattered
Through Year, but Real
Estate Managers Object

The 100000 people who inhabt New
York, as they say in the biographies,
are preparing for the great annual
game Of pussy in the Corner which
IS played here every year on moving
day, October l. But the moving van
men, contrary to lay belief, are not Civ
ing any wild shouts of JOY.
Why not was explained yesterday by
Charles Morris, secretary OF the Metro
politan Storage Warehouse Company
and president Of the New York Furni-
ture reimbursement Association. He
said
department leases in New York vr-
tually all expire October l. That prac-
tice is scnseless. and results annually
in the public being robbed and its
household possession maltreated. The
reputable warehousemen get so con-
gested with orders around the LIST of
October that they have to decline or
ders to move families from one apart
ment to another. They are much too
busy then taking care of people who are
out of storage.
"That leaves clear field to the fly
by-night fellow who rounds up crew
Of men in some saloon backroop q few
days before October l and goes into
the furniture moving business. They
know nothing Of service, and when they
get through the moving van business
has a black eye
"Our association has determined to
make an effort to correct this situation.
We have appointed committee to deal
with the Board of Real Estate Brokers
in an effort to persuade them to our
way of thinking that it would be
better for all concerned if apartment
leases expired on the first day of any
month rather than only on the first
of October. The real estate men are
opposed to change, but fell that if the
public supports US this change can be
effected
"The situation this year is worse
than ever, not because more people
are moving, but for the reason that
there are practically no new apartment
houses. In past years new apartment
houses that have become ready for oc-
cupancy few weeks or months prior
to October have acted as a safety valve,
as many families have selected the new
October /. This year almost every
body has been held until October 1.
The five days either side of October
l are going to be fearful.
"The fy-by-night movers are taking
advantage of the situation I've heard
of some of them quoting their van
service up to $50 an hour for moving
on either September 80 or October / i.
That is nothing short of criminal. The
service isn't worth it.
"The members of our association are
charging fixed rate of $40 an hour
during the fall months. For the rest
of the year it is less"
Several moving van concerns, when
invited over the telephone yesterday to
quite prices for moving on October l,
said they were "booked up" One con-
Germ said it could still take few or
ders at Sl2 an hour for each van. One
of these moving men, who said he
couldn't take any more orders for three
days either side Of October l, said he
was charging SIS an hour.

unofficially, in obtaining about 10000

The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1919-01-17

"The Zionists are about to realize
the 2,OO0-year-old ambition of the
Jewish people," says Truman H.
Talley, Special Correspondent Of
the New York Herald, in wireless
from London on Monday, Deem
Der 30th, 1918. 81 have been au-
thoritative1y informed that the peace
conference not only will give them a
big inning, but will accept, virtually
without change, their program,
which has beeen generally agreed
upon by the four greater Allies.
IT am able to present the follow
ing six outstanding developments in
the Palestine project:
l. The American and British
Zionist delegations to the peace con-
ference have completed the most
satisfactory conversations with Ar
thur J.. Ba1four, British Foreign
Secretary, who informed them that
his original statement now consti-
tutes the mere minimum of what
the Jews may expect.
2. Lord Robert Cecil, who is one
of Britain's delegates to the League
of Nations conference, when asked
about the Jewish project, declared
emphatically that he hoped and ex-
pected that their efforts would
emerge from the wars aftermath
successful and that they would be
among the newly formed nationali-
ties He insisted that their chances
had been tremendously strengthened
since last November.

3. All the Zionist delegates who
are now on the ground have ar
ranged an appointment with Presi-
dent Wilson just as soon as he re-

Mrs. Mary Fels, widow of Joseph
Fe1s, the single tax advocate.
The only British delegates SO far
named are Chain Weizmann, presi-
dent of the British Zionist Fedora
ton, who obtained the famous Bal
four declaration and who headed the
British commission to Palestine,
and Nahum B. Sokolow, veteran
Zionist and intimate of Theodore
Herz1, founder of modern Zionism.
He obtained the acquiescence OF
France, Italy and the Pope in the
Palestine scheme.
Holland has sent Julius Simon to
Paris, and even Russia is sending
delegate in the person of Mr.. Ros-
soft, of Petrograd, expecting ulti-
mate1y to send others.
Indeed, nearly every nation will
have a full Jewish delegation in
Paris when the formal peace parleys
begin. The Zionists have just
opened bureau there, as they have
here
Delegates who saw Mr.. Balfour
received the greatest encouragement
and were told that the Paris confer
ence doubtless would grant much
broader schemes than that given by
him in his earlier outline.
The Ba1four negotiations includ-
ed a statement from Mr.. Sokolow
that French statesmen had assured
him of the same prospects.
President Wilson's Endorsement.
It is known that President Wilson
strongly indorses the entire project
and that while he was in London he
had a short talk with some of the
Zionist representatives. but due to
the small amount of time that the
President was able to give to them
at that moment, more formal nego-
tiations with him were postponed
until early in january.

world league long and serious

turns to Paris from Italy, when the
ultimate scheme may take final
shape.
4. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, head
of the American delegation, after
negotiating with British statesmen,
announces that England has no in
tention of holding Palestine for any
purpose, unless it should be decided
at the Paris conference that she
should take trusteeship.
S. Mr.. Monzi, one-time French
Assistant Secretary of Foreign Al
fairs and now French Zionist dele
gate, disclosed that efforts are be-
ing made by the Zionists to have
representatives of all unestablished
nations accredited to the peace
table. Lord Cecil feels certain that
the Jews will be heard, but Mr..
Monzi's scheme is intended to bene-
fit everyone.
6. Zionist delegates are arriving
here and in Paris in large number.
1t is expected that delegates elected
by the American Jews will not only
assure the success of the eventual
Zion scheme but will have very
great influence on the peace con-
ference's Jewish deliberations.
Meetings With Mr.. Balfour.
Since the arrival Of the American
Zionist delegates in London a few
days ago, they, with their British
colleagues, have had most produc-
tive meetings with Mr.. Balfour.
Rabbi Wise heads this American
delegation. Among the delegates
are Louis Robson, DR.. Bernard
Flexner, formerly head of the Red
Cross Mission to Roumania, and

Some Peculiar Ideas Held Regarding

Des Moines. May 23-The astonish-
ing unfamiliarity Of many American
citizens with government securities Is
shown on every interest day Of any OF
the popular liberty loans. according to
state headquarters Of the Iowa war
savings organization. ''Pankers re-
port that some bond owners come into
the bank on interest days and ask how
much they have to pay" said an Off

have money due them instead Of owing
more. .eU-s,
