Mrs William Fl. Hamilton, chairman

high navy executives have approved the
clubhouse, existing laws do not permit
governmental aid to such a project
Other American ports, Boston and
Phi adelpha among them, have club
houses for sailors, Mrs. Hamilton said
and she believes there is no reason why
New York should lag behind in this
work. "There are a dozen places for
merchant marine sailors to 60 in this
city, she said, "and the navy boys did
not have single place until this Navy

Revived i'm Kansas City
Right of City Employees to
Unionize Injected Into
Local Election
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 23.-The
right of city employees to unionizc,
involved in the Boston police strike,
will be revived as an issue in the ap-
preaching city campaign by the Cen
trail Labor Union.
A uestionnaire containing eleven
questions to be submitted to candi-
dates has. been approved by the Cen
trail Labor body. Two of the questions
demand to know whether the nominees
viii oppose unionization or all city
departments. That would include the
fire department.
1t also seeks the attitude of each
nominee on so per cent increase in
pay for teachers, an increased wage
for city firemen, the appointment of
labor leaders to places on all boards
and commissions and commission form
of government
The conservatives, dominating fac
ton in organized labor, will not sup
port a so-called labor ticket" soon to
be put in the field. The questionnaire
plan is the conservative elements plan
to get a voice in the city government
1t is in accord with the national politi-
cal plan of the American Federation
of Labor and undoubtedly will be the
extent of organized labor's participa-
tlon In the coming contest.

Day Begs Daniels
Not to Halt His
Navy Food Sales
Ex-Commissioner Charges
Persons He Ousted and
Selfish Food Dealers Seek
to Thwart His Efforts

DR.. Jonathan c.. Day, special agent
of surplus navy food and former Com
missioner Of Public Markets, made pub
lie yesterday letter he has written
to Secretary Daniels, giving an account
of his management Of the 1000 sales,
and protesting against the movement
now on foot in the city to take these
out of his hands.
The former Market Commissioner ad-
mits the charge already brought against
him to the effect that he has been dis
pensing other than navy food at these
sales, but insists that it has been up
to the standard set by the navy.
81 bought standard stuff" he says,
'and extra standard qualities, as good
as that offered by the navy, and offered
it TO the people at prices below and
in many instances Ear below the retail
prices Of the same brands Of foodstuffs.
In this way for weeks past l have been
able to serve thousands of citizens OF
the greater city
Attacks "Selfish Dealers"
He then refers to the objection of
the present Market Commissioner, Ed
win J O'Malley, to the navy sales and
to the declared intention of Mr.. La
Guardia, President Of the Board of AL
dermen, to take these out of his con-
troll. as follows:
"The facts are these: Certain indivi.
duas who were removed by me from
Office because of their attempted graft
are, believe, making an effort now to
get the navy authorities to withdraw
the sale of these goods through me as
q special agent. Certain selfish food
dealers, believe, are connivng with
them to that end.
"President La Guardia of the Board
of Aldermen of this city, for some
reason or other, while he knows alb.
soutely nothing about the details of
the situation and has sought no in
formation from me first hand, declares
that he wants the dealers, the retailers.
to handle these foodstuffs."
The letter concludes with plea to
the Secretary of the Navy not to have
the navy food sold to the people of the
city at higher price, no matter into
whose hands he intrusts the sale.
