Helping Disabled Veterans.
THE War Department has adopted new
policy with reference to vocational

FNHE War Department has adopted new
policy with reference to vocational
training for discharged soldiers, which,
in material results and immediate benefits,
will abundantly justify it's inaug dration. In
atCad of treating vocational training as
-.cOndary consideration, the office of the AS
ant Secretary of War, which heretofore
has been concerned chiefly with securing po-
s.tions for discharged soldiers, will make vo-
catiOnal training a primary object Of it's la,
Dor.
Orders have gone forth directing the field
representatives of the War Department, VINO
have been engaged in soldier employment
work, to give special attention to aiding dis
abled veterans and to lend every encourage
ment to them to take vocational training.
These field repl esentatives have been can
vassiI.g the country for the past six months,
seeking positions for discharged soldiers N
practice lily every city and community in the
United States They have gained knoWl-
edge Of conditions that renders their services
invaluable in aiding wounded and disabled
veterans.
Major Gtneral MILAN G. Ham, of the War
L'Ians Division of the General staff, who is
in charge of the field representatives of the
War Department engaged in soldier employ
.hent work, comments Interestingly upon the
new policy with respect to vocational train
ing:
"Our field representatives have here
tofore assisted the disabled men where
possible, but in the future this is to be
special feature of their work. In
some cases failure to secure vocational
training with the desired promptness is
due to lack Of knowledge by the men;
in a few cases it is due to their careless
ness; in the great bulk of cases the fail
ure has been due to other causes. The
changed policy of the Federal Board for
vocational Education giving district vo-
cational officers authority to pass final
ly on certain classes Of cases furnishes
us an opportunity for giving assistance
which was not available when the rules
of the Board required all cases to be
sent to Washington for final action. We
propose to establish ose connection be-
tween the different agencies interested in
the welfare Of soldiers, incll ding the
American Legion and the Association of
Disabled Veterans and the District Vo-
cational Board Officer, and secure their
complete and cordial cooperation"
. 1t is gratifying to observe the disposition
OF the War Department to improve the OBJ
portunity for promoting the work Of the vo.
1atlonal education of disabled veterans, ana
we feel sure that the cooperation of Gen aral
Hams bureau will aid materially the great
work that is being done to instruct these
men in useful and gainful occupation

77th Veterans Flock
To Bureau for Jobs

Rapid rehabilitation of the 77th
Division is having its effects at the
offices of the divisions employment
bureau, 280 Madison Avenue. Gordon
L. Sawyer, assigned by the Federal
Employment Service to assist the New
York troops in finding jobs, said yes
terday that the influx of men dis
charged from Camp Upton in the last
few days had already begun. AS the
division is seeking to place 5000 of its
men, Mr. Sawyer looks for steadily
Increasing number OF applicants.
There is great call from employers,
said Mr.. Sawyer, for bushelmen, press
ers, automobile body painters, house
painters, ithcgraphers, compositors
and jewellers. The bureau is finding
much difficulty in supplying these men,
for the division lacks members trained
in those trades.
Lack of men skilled III the manufac-
ture of jewelry is particularly marked.
Manufacturers are contemplating the
establishment of school wherein to
train young men.
Mr.. Sawyer was informed by 81
manufacturer of automobile parts and
accessories at Elmira, n. Y, that he has
room for 500 machinists. toolmakers
and others of allied trades. He will
accept 100 unskilled ex-soldiers and
will teach them the trade.
The disinclination of many appI-
cants to accept positions outside of
New York was emphasized by Mr.,
Sawyer.

Turning of Hose on
"Objectors'' Justified
By Official Report
Ne1o York Tribune
Wash;nqtOt, Bureau


WASHINGTON, May 10.--When con-
scientious objectors refuse to work
and continue boisterous conduct at
night in their cells at Fort Leaven-
worth disciplinary barracks, they are
"wetted down" with a fire hose, the
War Department announced to-day in
making public a report on disciplinary
action taken against twenty-six prison
ers on April 23.
Captain Charles w. Jones, who per-
Iuitted the "wetting down" of the pris-
oners, did not exceed his disciplinary
powers, according to the following re-
port made to the department to-day:
son the night of April %, and after
the time at which the regulations re-
quired lights be put out and prisoners
to be in bed and be quiet, a number of
men continued to make noise by talk
ing loudly, walking up and down in
their cells, talking to members Of the
adjoining cells and making sufficient
noise to interfere with the sleeping of
other prisoners. The guards ordered
them to keep quiet and go to bed. They
refused to obey and were insubordinate
and impudent.
Captain Jones ordered the water
turned on through a small garden hose
This failed to produce the desired re-
suits, upon which the fire hose was
turned on the cell. After five or six min
utes the prisoners ouieted down and re-
manned quiet the rest of the night. AL
though several prisoners caught cold,
nc other injury or sickness resulted.

recognized form of dealing with riot

Serious Crisis Ahead Unless
Trade Expansion and
Construction Rapidly In
crease, Says Kirchwey
Women Have Ousted Men
Soldiers Returning Find
Employers Reluctant to
Discharge Efficient Help

Immediate industrial expansion and
increased construction work alone can
relieve the acute employment situation
resulting from the grip Of women on
their positions and the return of 10000
soldiers a day to this country, DR..
George W. Kirchwey, State Director of
the United States Employment Service,
declared yesterday
He asserted that it would be con-
trary to American principles and all
rules of fair play for officials OF the
employment service to conduct propa-
ganda to GUST women from jobs they
got during the war. The fact remains,
he declared, that these jobs were for
merry held by soldiers and sailors now
pouring back into civilian pursuits.
"lndustrial development must be ac-
celerated Immediately" said DR.. Kirch-
wey, cor we will be in the midst of a
problem with consequences too serious
to discuss at present. There must be
more jobs, twice as many as there are
at present More construction work
the building industry really has not got
under way fully as yet-would make
positions for thousands of these hardy
men.
Unwilling to Gust Women
There are two reasons for the fail
ure of soldiers to return to their old
jobs now filled by women. They are
not willing to oust their successors in
the first place, and, in the second, the
women have made good and the en-
ployers are not always willing to make
the change.
"The United States employment
service in this city is placing every
second man. What about the unfortu-
nate alternate He must hustle for
himself or starve"
A renewed effort WILL be made to-day,
Mothers Day, to find positions for dis
charged service men, Miss Anna Jar
Wis, founder of the Mothers Day move

that she intends to place "every moth
er's son" in some kind of employment
Her goal is 100000 jobs She feels this
many can be obtained, even though the
total grist of employment Sunday"
was 100000 positions.
The New York State wing of the
Service intends extending
the section devoted to the placing Of
professional men and women. When
Congress filibustered the service out
OF its support, the professional branch
here was discontinued. 1t was opened
recently under James 0. Winsow, who
previously was in charge. College

about the dangers and insults to which
she is being exposed. If there were
girls treated with disrespect by any
man of any rank in our army I think
those girls must have been in some
way ponsible-perhaps they didn't
realize it, themselves, but they must
have invited that sort of thing, even
though they did so unconsciously. I am
convinced of this, because Pm sure
that nobody could have been more 'ex-
posed than / was-I met all sorts and
conditions Of men alone, under all
circum stances, at every hour of the day
and night, and they were-oh, simply
wonderful!
"I can't tell you how fine they were.
Everybody acted as if he, individually,
were responsible for your welfare
as if each girl were his personal
charge. They seemed to regard it as
sort Of honor to give us their pro-
lection. so far from taking advan-
tage of our being on our own hook and
unchaperoned, they did everything con-
ceivable to show us that they were
really gallant gentlemen-as careful
Of US as we were Of ourselves.

sometimes I'd go to place and find
that the men hadn't seen a single
woman for more than & month. And
at such a place-well, they'd treat you
with such splendid courtesy and fine
feeling that they made you feel
sort Of queen among them. Don't let
anybody tell you that soldiers in camp
don't know how to treat women. Ive
had ten months daily experience to

H1 Gems Disappear

A general alarm for the arrest of a
seventeen-year-old employe of Meyer
owitz Bros, diamond importers, of ITO
Broadway, was sent out from police
Headquarters yesterday afternoon,
when it was reported to the police
that diamonds valued at 100000 had
disappeared from the Office of the com
pany and that an employe was missing
Henry Morton, of 80 West Fortieth
Street, treasurer of the company, ad-
mitted that the diamonds had disap-
peared, but said their value approx
mated $4,000 instead of the 100000
previously reported.
Mr.. Morton said he could not recall,
but that it was on record at the office.
Besides Mr.. Morton the other Of
ficers of the firm of Meyerowitz Bros.
are Michael Meyerowitz, president, of
30 West Sixtyseventh Street, and
Samuel Meyerowitz, secretary, whose
home is in Tarrytown.

Veteran of Many Wars
Intimate knowledge of In
dian Affairs To Be Util-
lied as Commissioner

CAMP DIX, N. j., May 10-Without
ceremony, Major General Hugh l..
Scott, commandant at this cantonment
since January, 1918, to-day turned over
his post to Major General Harry Hale
and prepared to retire from the army
after & continuous service of forty
eight years.
Tonight at Burlington General Scott
was guest of honor at dinner given
by welfare workers, officers and news
paper correspondents, and his work in
organizing the camp was commended
by all the speakers.
General Scotts career has been one
of continuous fighting since his gradua-
tion from West Point in 1871. His
first assignment was lieutenancy in
a Western cavalry regiment and he
participated in eleven Indian wars. His
dealings with the redmen in these con-
ficts won for him a reputation for fair
dealing, and not one of the treaties he
made with them has been broken to
this day.
He was known to them as Mole Te-
quot, the "sign talker," and is said to
be more familiar with their customs
than any other white man living. 1t
is this knowledge that has caused the
SreSluenC TO name MIN a commissioner
of Indian affairs, which duties he will
take up within few weeks.
During the Spanish-American War,
the Cuban occupation and the Philip
pine insurrection he was in the thick
Of the fighting. 1t was while engaged
with the Moros that his hands were SO
badly mangled by an exploding shell
that for time it was believed he would
be compelled to retire, but he pre-
ferred to remain in the service.
When Germany was endeavoring to
bring about hostilities between the
United States and Mexico General
Scott was called upon three times for
diplomatic missions to that republic.
AS chief of staff when the United
States declared war on Germany he
contributed largely to the success of
the selective service act and helped to
draw the plans for intensive training.
AS military observer on five different
European fronts he had acquired a
knowledge of modern warfare that
made his work in this regard extremely
valuable to the government. He also
was q member of the Root commission
to Russia
An estate near Princeton has been
purchased by the general and he will
make his home there.

News Printers Get
Is Per Cent Raise
From April First
Basic Pay of Morning Paper
Compositors Now$46.5O;
Award Made by Frank
Morrison, the Arbitrator

Yesterday Frank Morrison, arbi-
traitor in the wage dispute between
Typographical Union No. 6 and the
Publishers Association of New York
City, formally announced the award.
The printers receive an increase of
50 week, post-dated to April 1. That
is all they asked for on the wage ac-
count. The weekly pay of an after
noon newspaper compositor now will
be $43.50, and that of a morning news
paper compositor $46.50, on the basis
of an eight-hour day, less thirty min
utes for lunch.
The printers asked that overtime be
paid for double, instead of at the rate
OF time and half. This the arbitrator
denied. But all printers working Sat-
urday and Saturday night are allowed
q bonus of $1.S1.
The publishers asked that the stand
ard days work be made eight full
hours, instead of eight less half an
hour for lunch. This the arbitrator
denied.
Mr.. Morrison's conclusion was that
the cost of living had risen much
faster than printers wages, and that
even this large increase, which is "a
per cent for morning paper printers
and little more than 26 per cent
Tor evening paper printers, will not re-
store them to pre-war standard of
living. The standard wage scale in
1914 was $50 per week.
The Publishers Association will ac-
cept the award, but its members in
vlte attention to the rapid rise in the
wage cost Of producing newspapers.
Inc pressmen have obtained an in
crease of Sc week, post-dated to
March l. The engravers recently won
an increase of $6 a week. Other unions
that contribute skilled labor to news
paper making are expected to come for
ward shortly with new demands.
