The Chicago whip. (Chicago, Ill.) 1919-19??, 1919-09-13

Long and short-napped beavers,
felts and wool-fur hats account for
the great majority of hats for little
girls. Then there are velvet tams,
conspicuously classy in the best
grades, and some trimmed hats for
little misses. Nearly all hats for chill
dren are quite plain, with a band and
sash of ribbon for trimming in most
cases, or a bit of feather ornament
on velvet tams. But, to suit the taste
of those who are not in sympathy with
these plain styles, there are others
that make up very interesting mi
nority in the displays of children's
hats. One of these is shown here, to-
gether with two long-napped beaver
models and a practical tam of wool
fur or plush.
Far and away the most popular of
the various beaver shapes are made
up of wide floppy- brimmed models and
those with narrow dropping brims and
square crowns, like those shown in the
picture. Between these two widths of
brim there are some very attractive
shapes with round crown and brims
that curve upward lin the fashion of
a French sailor hat) and are moder-
ately wide. All of them are finished
with band or sash of ribbon. The tam
shown is one of many, with crowns
more or less full and made of duvetyns
velvet, plush and other materials.

pictured, is covered with satin shirred

POLICE HEAR PUBLIC
BACK PAY DEMANDS
Hylan Ukase Aimed to Prevent
Attendance Before Alder

FIREMEN PRESENT ALSO
Leaders in Speeches Tell How
Much City Employees Need
Increases.

Representatives Of the Fire and Police
departments, whom Mayor Hylan tried
hard the day before to prevent from at
tending, were present yesterday In City
Han when a special committee Of the
Board of Aldermen gave a hearing to
test public sentiment on the demands OF
city employees for Increased wages.
Likewise men and women employed in
all the other city departments went to
the meeting. which the Mayor. before he
was compelled to reverse his own posi-
ton in the matter, said he had been in
formed was to be 'disorderly gather
ing OF agitators"
Instead OF being disorderly the meet
ing turned out to be the mjldest kind OF
gathering, which was addressed by Her
man A. Metz, former City Comptroller !;
State Senator A. w. Burlingame of
Brooklyn, Surrogate G.. N. 8. Schulz Of
The Bronx, County Judge Louis d. Gibbs
and Alderman Kenneally, chairman OF
the special committee. While the Mayor
failed to look in at the meeting, Presi-
dent Guinness of the Uniformed Fire
mems Association and Joseph l.. Moran,
president OF the Patrolmen's Benevolent
Association, were there and made brief
speeches In which they said they be-
lleved their request for a maximum Of
$4,000 for patrolmen and firemen was
little enough considering present day liv-
ing conditions n
Chairman Ke6nealiy acknowledged
that the Board of Aldermen had no
power to increase salaries and that their
only function in connection with the
making of the budget was to decrease
the figures fixed by the Board of Est
mate, II they saw fit to do so. How
ever, he said, the Board of Aldermen
would be glad to make any recommended
tions to the Board of Estimate in regard
to increases that seemed to be deserved.
Frank ]. Prial, Deputy Comptroller
and president of the Civil Service Foo
rum, said It was ridiculous to say that
the flremen or policemen ever intended
to make demonstration in City Nall
Park. as alleged by the Mayor; that all
they asked was an opportunity to state
their case for increases to the proper
authorities.
Mr.. Metz placed himself fatty on
record as being in favor Of the $4,000
salary. with as much additional as the
finances of the city might be able to
stand. Also he was in favor of adding
TO the salaries of other city employees.
When he first went in as Comptroller,
the speaker said, the Finance Depart
ment was TO a large extent a collecting
agency for people to whom the city en-
ployees owed money. The collectors
sought 90 attach the salaries of officials
running from a Judge to the lowest in
the scale of employees. The grading and
regarding of employees was wrong. he
thought. He instanced the case OF one
man, who after fifty years. was receiv-
ing less than he did in the beginning.
Senator Burlingame, who said he did
not appear as the paid advocate of any

one, praised the uniformed forces. and
said they could not live decently on their
present wages. He spoke OF the recent
Boston strike. and said the policemen
here had remained loyal in spite OF the
fact that prices had been lacked up to
a point where they might well be par
doned IL they reached state OF des-
peratlon. The speaker said he honored
Comptroller Craig for suggesting an In
crease of $3.50, and had no doubt that
he would finally be willing to accede to
the request for $4,000.
"It Is a shame that a city inspector
may have to supervise the work of a
man who is getting more money that he
said Edward P. Doyle OF Staten Island.
ut Is an outrage to pay competent city
employees less than $500 a year when
laborers have set that amount as their
minimum. Garment makers and truck
drivers are paid more than policemen
and fire iien.

retaries, the useless rocking chair job
holders and the overlapping jobs, but

II It was true, as he had been told,
said the Rev. DR.. Homer F. Taylor OF
ST. Luke's Episcopal Church of The
Bronx. that 80 per cent of the members
Of the Police and Fire departments were
at the mercy of loan sharks 1t was an
Indictment against the city.
ut Is unthinkable," he declared, that
loyal employees, who have served us 80
well In all our emergencies, should be
underpaid to such an extent that they
become victims Of loan organizations
This Is a great moral as well as an
economic question. We must help these
men to keep body and soul together.
really think that $4,000 is too little to
pay the policemen and the firemen."
Joseph Berry made a plea for the per
diem men, saying that the Increased
cost of living affected them just as much
as 1t did the>m on a yearly salary
basis.
When Chairman Kenneally asked II
there was any opposition to increasing
the pay Of city employees there was
great silence.
Just before adjournment the chairman
announced the illness of President Moran
of the Board of Aldermen and said he
was authorized to say that the president
was with the employees In their night.

II was generally believed that he went
chiefly to discuss the strike with Samuel
Gompers, president of the American Fed

ut is a standing rule that II men are
dissatisfied they can come singly or in

adjustments. There have been such
cases. Three or four years ago the pres
fdent of one subsidiary notified the presi-
dent Of the Steel Corporation that the

Der, had gone out. He said there was
no reason for 1t. and that he could easily

and especially their clergy"
