TRANSFERS WON'T
WORK AT OLD PAY
Reject Offer Of Bosses and
Make Counter Proposal
Demanding Raise.
READY TO ARBITRATE
Not i'm Favor of Strike, but
Request Action on Terms
by Friday.

Nearly 5000 teamsters at meeting
last night in Webster Hall. at 119 East
Eleventh street, unanimously voted to
reject the proposition of their en-
ployers that they work an hour more a
day for the same money they are now
receiving. At the same time the team
sters declared themselves not In favor
OF a strike. but willing to submit to
arbitration.
motion passed at the meeting
authorized the chairman, II. Cashall, to
appoint a committee of six men from
the rank and file to present the team
sters' demand for ali eight hour working
day and an increase of 81 week. The
committee was ordered to obtain a defi-
mite decision from the truck owners by
next Friday night.
The committee appointed to present
the demands to the truck owners is
composed of Ben Cunningham. Mike
1goe. Jim Mullins. ]. McCrane, Phil
Gerald and Tom Haggerty.
The action taken last night means
that the 5000 local truckmen who have
been threatening a general strike for
nearly a week will continue work for
at least another week. when the report
OF the committee will be made. 1t Is
hoped by many of the teamsters that
an agreement can be reached, as they
voiced at the meeting that they are
not in favor of u general walkout.
]. Keyhoe. international trustee Of the
transfers union, told the men that the
best results would be Obtained by mcans
Of arbitration. He declared it was the
gravest situation that the teamsters have
ever faced. as economic conditions
have entirely changed and that strikes
of other unions during the last two
months have not met with success.
1.-The question of strike is one that
must be carefully considered" said Key
hoe, "as such action at the present time
would be playing into the hands of the
boss truckmen. There is powerful
move on foot at present among the
bankers Of this city and this country to
put tn. teamsters out OF business in New
York city. 1t is such action that we
must face and must defeat
When the counter demands of the
bosses were read they were greeted by
stamping, booing and kissing and shouts
of Tear up the demand ~ and Throw
them in the basket! 20
Similar action to that taken at the
meeting in Webster Hall was taken at a
meeting of 1900 transfers In Veronica
Hall, Washington and Barrow streets,
where a committee of three was selected
to meet with the bosses and to report
back to the local within a week.

WHAT Is A HOTEL?
RENT LAW PUZZLE
Tenant Insists He Was Locked
Out of an Apartment, Not
a ROOming Place.
GOES TO HIGHER COURT
Legal Classification of Houses
Interests Large Owners
Calder Attends Hearing. :.

The distinction between hotel and
an apartment house was the point in
controversy In a hearing yesterday be-
fore Magistrate Max S. Levine in the
West Side Court
The hearing was held on an unlaw-
full entry action brought by Isaac Kahn
Of 3W West Ninety-eighth street against
the Schuyler Arms Company. operat-
ing the Schuyler Arms apartment house
in which Kahn lives. William G. Mac
kenzie, manager OF the company. con-
tended that the house was a hotel and
that he had the right to lock Kahn
out of his apartment when he refused
to pay the rent demanded OF him. Kahn
contends that the place is an apart
ment house and therefore comes under
the new rent laws.
Magistrate Levine held that the case
was of such Importance that he did not
want 10 assume responsibility for de-
Gliding II. With the agreement of both
sides the case was referred to Special
Sessions for trial. Mackenzie was held
in 500 bail for his appearance when
the case is called.
Kahn said that he had lived in the
apartment for four years, first paying
rental of SO a month and later s125.
On September !. he said. the company
raised the rent to $500. He offered the
usual rent of s125. but It was refused
and a few days later he was locked
out. Mackenzie was ordered by Mag
istrate Levine 10 restore full service
to Kahns apartment. Kahn VIII con-
tnue to live there until the case is
settled. paying s125 a month.
Several large apartment house own
ers, interested because of the question
involving the classification OF tbs
house. were in court. Kahn represented
that the hotel services referred TO
by the manager were the same as are
provided in all first class apartment
houses. He also said that during the
four years he had lived there he had
not seen a register for transient guests.
The action brought by Stoddard
Marks against Justice Edward b. La
Fetra of the City Court, asking for
writ of mandamus compelling the JUS
tice to sign dispossess warrant has
been postponed until November 4. The
case was due to come up yesterday
before Justice John Y. McAvoy In the
Supreme Court. Argument on Noven-
her 4 will be heard by Justice Leonard
A. Giegerich.
Senator Calder appeared yesterday at
the public hearing of the Aldermanlc
Committee on Public Welfare, of which
Alderman w. T. Collins Is chairman.
The hearing was held for a discussion
OF the ordinance recently proposed by
Alderman Collins to put into effect the
law passed by the Legislature per-
hitting municipalities to exempt new
buildings from local taxation for
period of ten years. Senator Calder
said that he thought an ordinance
should be put on the books at once
that would encourage private capital
TO engage again in building homes.
Costly buildings designed for private
use. he said, should not be included In
the exemption.

Time Turns Back an
Hour, 2 Am. Tomorrow

THE period of daylight saving
time, which went into effect
March 20 last, will be officially
called off at 2 A. M. tomorrow,
at which time all watches and
clocks should be turned back one
hour, as standard time will be re-
sumed once more. Sleepy headed
persons who go to bed before 2
o'clock would do well to make
the change before retiring, other
wise they are likely to awaken
and find that the world has been
tagging during the night and that
they are just sixty minutes ahead
of time. Travellers on the rail-
roads, too, should be careful to
remember that it will no longer
be possible to catch the 11:15
train (for instance) by showing
up at the Grand Central Ter
minal at 1915. Railroad time
and city time will again become
synonymous.
The National Daylight Saving
Association is so pleased with the
way the plan has worked this
year that it will endeavor to
make the scheme operative next
summer throughout the territory
between Cleveland, Ohio, and
the Atlantic coast. The proposed
bill, however, will fix the period
from May l to October /,
month shorter on each end than
this year.
