Fears France viii Be Too
Frigjd for Russian Waits,
Miss Todd Worried Because Red Cross Is Trying to
Send Refugees Back to Their Homes, Does Not
Think Petrograd Young Citizens Can Stand Trip

The American Red Cross was ar
rsignsd last night for its "barbarous"
conduct and cruelty to little children.
Miss Helen Todd was the chief ar
raigner and the occasion was a protest
meeting held at the Lexington Opera
House under the auspices Of the Amer
lean Women's Committee. The crime
attributed to the Red Cross was its al
legged intention to transport the 780
Russian children now at Fort Wads-
worth to Petrograd not by direct route,
but through France. Miss Todd said
this was probably a dreadful thing
to do.
The meeting was attended by be-
tween 500 and 800 persons. The Lex
ington Opera House has a capacity Of
more than 5000. Those who came to
protest did so in response to an adver-
tisement published and paid for by the
American Women's Committee, an or
ganization devoted to medical relief
work in Soviet Russia.
According to Red Cross officials, the
tentative plan to send the children to
ganization first desires to be assured
that eabh child will be properly taken
care Of when it reaches Petrograd. phe
children have been away from their
native city for more than two years,
and in view of the many events in
Russia that have taken place during
that time, as we'll as the ravages Of
cholera, typhus and smallpox epi-
denies, officials fear that many Of the
parents, friends and guardians of the
children nay not be in Petrograd when
the youngsters get there.
Would Care for Children
At no time, say the Red Cross of
ficials, has it been their intention Of
surrendering the care of these chill
dren into the hands Of France or any
otl.er foreign government. Upon their
arrival in France the children would
still continue under direct charge Of
American Red Cross officials. 1t was
to prevent "this barbarous act" that
last nights meeting was called.
Miss Todd, who delivered an address
filled with agonized protest against the
Red Cross organizations plan, in
sisted the children be sent direct to
Petrograd via Reval. AS evidence she
said one of them-a little girl--has al
ready died at Forth Wadsworth She
even feared that death might be the lot
of all of them if they are sent to bleak
and frigid France, rather than to the
luxuriantly tropical climate of Petro-
grad.
"Why don't they take them to Reval
instead of France, the enemy of Rus
sia?" cried Miss Todd. "Why do they
take them to France instead of to
Reval, where they will be not more
than twelve hours distance from
homer"
because they want to enslave

Daniels Approves Schedule
Slightly Higher for Cleri-
cal Forces and Four
Civil Mechanical Trades
Saturday Work 4 Hours
Demands of Workers to
Meet Higher Cost of Liv-

WASHINGTON, Sept. "A wage in
crease Of per cent was awarded all
classes of civil employees in the naval
establishment under new pay sched-
ule approved to-day by Secretary DAN
iels, and which will 90 into effect "on
the nearest pay day to September 49,"
The increase, based on the difference in
the advance IN cost of living and the
Congressional bonus authorized since
the last readjustment of wages q year
and half ago, affects more than 1885,
600 naval employees.
Several classes Of employees, in
Guiding nearly all the clerical forces
and four mechanical trades, will re.
celve increases considerably above the
general per cent advance. through a
readjustment Of the entire wage sched-
ule to correct inequalities. The new
schedule was not made public to-day,
but will be announced early next week,
Secretary Daniels said.
Outside OF the increase, the most
important provision of the new sched-
ule is a reduction of working hours to
four on Saturday, the year round, the
employees to be paid for the half-day's
work at the hourly rate. While this
provision will Offset to some extent the
increases applying on hourly pay, it
was said the employees had approved
the provision through their representa-
tive on the recommending board, who
Joined in submitting q unanimous re-
port to the Secretary.
While the basic per cent increase
does not meet the demands of the EN-
ployees, which ranged from rs cents
an hour as a minimum general increase
to 45 cents for mechanics, the boards
report to the Secretary declared the
scale of pay in the nava! establishment
was found to be "5 per cent higher
bonus considered, than the wage scale
Of any other industry" without the
present increase included.
The increase was awarded despite
this fact, the report said, because under
the terms of the original award of the
Macy board, readjusting navy yard
pay, the navy is pledged to the work
ers to make a decision on the basis of
the change in the cost of living"

While on q Train, Dies
Is First Fatality Due to Vio-

Frederick Friedman, seventeen years

County Hospital last night as a result
OF injuries he suffered last Tuesday
while passenger on a Sea Beach sub

preached the Fort Hamilton Avenue

The death Of Friedman, the police
say, is the first fatality due directly to
strike violence.
George W. Fairbanks, forty-two years
old, of 462 Prospect Avenue, Brooklyn
motorman on the Sea Beach line, was
injured last Tuesday night in manner
similar to that of Friedman. He is said
to be in a critical condition at Kings

sent direct to Petrograd, without caus-

of procedure will be followed.
The latter fact, however, was not
brought out at last nights meeting,

bud another conspiracy of the interna-

Refugees Hear Concert
The Russian refugee children were
the guests of their fellow countrymen
here yesterday afternoon at concert
given in Madison Square Garden by the
Russian Symphony Orchestra. The
entertainment to the 780 small wan
derers was held under the auspices of
most Of the Russian societies of the
East by permission of the Red Cross,
which is caring for them until they are
returned home.
Fully 10000 Russians attended the
concert. The Garden was filled to the
roof. Many persons stood in the eisles.
The police had been informed radical
demonstration might take place. Many
of the Russian element which had pro-
tested against sending the children
home by way of France were present,
and $50 police reserves under Captain
James Post, of the Twenty second Pre-
cinct, surrounded the Garden. Uni
formed police and detectives also were
in the galleries.
The entertainment was not marred
by disorder, however. There was only
enthusiasm for the youngsters and
some of the jazzy Russian airs played
by the orchestra.

Other police officials said they did

A majority of the men out, they said,

feel that the trouble has been foisted
upon them by the radical element Of

Strike leaders yesterday continued to
issue optimistic bulletins and denied
the assertion Of company officials that
numerous defections from their ranks
are occurring every day. Mr.. Shea de-
clared the men are giving the union 100
per cent support.
Mr.. Shea, accompanied by Louis
Fridiger, attorney for the Amalgamat-

called yesterday noon on Mayor Hylan
to thank him for his efforts to bring
about a settlement. Mr.. Shea said the
party had also asked the Mayor for a

Hint Warsaw Is Excited
Situation Expected To Be

From The Tr1bx~e's woshsnoto~ Bxreow
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-The next
move by the United States government
in the Polish Russian situation will not
be made until opportunity has been
given for thorough analysis by the gov
ernments associated with the United
to the American warning.
This was strongly indicated to-day
at the State Department, where it was
said that NO answer to the Polish re-
Joinde1 is in mind at the present time
1t was ofieially said that the Poles
were extremely busy stamping out q
condAgration, and that it was not
deemed expedient at present to con-
tinue any discussion affecting the mill
tary movements that might be required.
That the American government is
not wholly satisfied with the Polish dec
laration again to penetrate Russian
territory if military exigencies should
require it was made plain when the
suggestion was made that the note Of
August % from the Warsaw Foreign
rejecting the sober, responsible stand
of the Polish government. In line with
TINS thought, one Official suggested that
lone can't look for poise in moments
OF excited action"
There is feeling, however, that Po-
land will tako no aggressive action
which can be avoided, and that before
long some assurance may be received
from the Witos government that will
clarity the situation. II any aggressive
move should be taken without complete
justification undoubtedly it would bring
forth a more pronounced warning than
that contained in Secretary Colby's
note Of August 81.
An Official Of the State Department
described the feeling existing here as
follows:
IL have no hesitation in saying that
I should regard any disposition on the
part Of the Poles of any desire to push
their frontiers out on theories Of de-
tense as menace to world peace and
Q menace likewise to the interest Of
the Polish people themselves"
Although having no official conftrma-
tion of the press report that both the
Poles and the Bolsheviki were about
ready for peace, this official said that
the military situation now indicated
that cessation of warfare was not far
distant.
Restoration Of apparently normal
conditions at Danzig has led the AL
lied high commissioner there to plan
to depart for Paris tomorrow in con-
nection with the final negotiation con-
corning the constitution Of the free
city Of Danzig and the treaty with Po-
land, the State Department was ad-
vised.

Try to Wreck L Train
Rumors of violence and sabotage
early yesterday morning were secuted
last hight by officials of the company
and the Brooklyn police after an inves-
tieation. Fire, which broke out short
ly after o'clock in the storage yard
adjoining the Ridgewood Depot, Wye
kof7 Avenue and Palmetto Street,
burned three surface cars and did
damage estimated at 100000. 1t was
at first believed the blaze had been
started by strikers, but an investiga-
ton, officials said, did not sustain this
theory.
What was at first thought an at
tempt to wreck West End elevated
train was frustrated in the early morn
ing, when an iron rod about one foot
in length was found jammed between
the guard and the running rail on a
curve, just west Of the Bay Fiftieth
station. Some doubt was later ex-
pressed that the contrivance could
have caused damage even if undis-
covered.
Minor outbreaks by strikers and
their sympathizers during the after
noon resulted in the arrest of John
Crozki, striking motorman, after a
Grand Street car had been stoned near
Columbia Place. Patrolman William
Troeller, assigned as guard to the car,
jumped from Che platform and caught
Grozki after a chase. A motorman
on De Kalb Street car was assaulted
by an unidentified man, who jumped
10 the platform while the car was in
motion and escaped after the attack.
A Vanderbilt Avenue car was stoned
