A Plea for IncurabLes
The Needs Of One of Our
Oldest Charities
To the Editor Of The Tribune


Sir: May have little Of your VAL
liable space to lay before your readers
the needs of the Home for Incurables.
one OF New York's oldest and most
worthy charities, Of which institution
L am the treasurer?
The Home for Incurables was found
ed fifty-five years ago. In common
with many other charitable institu-
lions, it has met with increasing diff
culltes owing to the steadily growing
expenses, the mounting cost of all sup
plies, the greatly increased wages in
all departments and the difficulty of
procuring, at any cost, competent serv-
ice. The problem Of conducting the
home and continuing its benefcent
mlnlstrations has become so serious
that l feel I must urge it upon the
attention of those who are to be count
ed upon to succor the afflicted and ad-
munster to the sorely distressed.
The Home for Incurables is unique
among the institutions of our city. It
is IN no sense transient hospital, for
only those come there who are incura-
bly, aff1icted-men and women who re-
qulre never ceasing care and continu-
Gus attendance to the end Of their DAYS.
II Is, therefore, permanent home. 1t
IS not sanatorium for the wealthy.
1t is not an asylum for the mentally
de1ectlve or insane or hospital for
acute or temporary cases. 1t is a home,
with all that name implies, for those
whose Affections are such that it is
impossible for their families to care
Tor them. To do so would not only be
bad for the afflicted, but would pre-
vent the occupations necessary to SUD-
port the families.
The Home for Incurables has never
been supported by municipal appropria-
tons. About one-half of the patients
have from the beginning paid nothing
for their maintenance and care. Those
who have been charged have in all
cases paid less than it cost to main
tain them, leaving out of consideration
any charge for medical attendance and
the extraordinary needs of such pa
TENTS
Increased Costs
In 1910 the average annual cost
patient was s476.73; in 1919 it was
s7O9.93; in 1920 the average cost will
be considerably higher. When it is
remembered that the general advance
IN prices in wages has been nearly 100
per cent In the last ten Nars. it is
clear that economy and good manage
ment have up to the present kept the
advance in annual cost a patient at
the Home for Incurables we'll within
the normal rate.
In 1919 the total expenses in con-
Quoting the home amounted to s21o.
869.41. The total receipts were $685.
1862, leaving a deficit of s24,592.49.
The wages paid in 1919 exceed those in
1918 by s14,865.42. The cost of groceries
in 1919 exceeds the cost for 1918 by
$11 ,531.23. In 1919 the home was
operated in as economical a way as
possible. Purchases of necessary house
furnishings. repairs, etc, were, post
poned wherever possible But to-day
there are replenishments Immediately
imperative and repairs which must be
made without delay, so that the annual
cost of operating the home for the year
1920 is bound to be considerably more
than it was in 1919. Within the last
few days | pave found out that the

4 Union of the ubhc
4 Plan for Defensive Organization Based
Upon the Pledges of Its Members
Copyright. 1920. New York Tribune Il

I pledge myself to buy no shoes cost
ing more than 81.
pledge myself to pay no more than
$40 to any domestic servant per week.
or more than So per day.
l pledge myself to pay no moro than
81 per week per person in my home for
meat
l pledge myself to send my child to
no school or college where teachers are
paid less than s. per year.
These pledges are picked carelessly
merely as illustrations. The Importance
OF having the exactly right pledge or
two cannot be overemphasized There
could be a wise and practical and short
list of pledges worked out by political
science and economies experts, to 20 into
effect six months or more, perhaps. after
the campaign had been launched. It
might be wise to go at the pledge idea
quite differently. The domestic servant
problem, for example, will be a vexing
one Though not one Of prime impor-
lance, nationally speaking). Women.
when it comes to questions Of personal
discomfort, have little sense of LOYALTY
to the mass. They are very like the rest
OF the human race. Though it's a press
ing and popular question, it might be
better to let it go until the organization
got foothold.
The Unions Weapons
And it must be borne in mind from
first to last that the reduction in the
cost of living is secondary, means to
the end of organization-a popular
handle by which to take hold of an
apathetic but goaded public. With or
ganization. even in its early stages, there
would grow power to deal with profit
cering individuals and groups. The pub
lie, having been organized, can deal with
any secondary problems-cost Of COM
modities, wages and strikes 1t may, of
course, not disapprove all strikes 1t
can force down any illegal strike. 1t
will have as it's weapons moral prestige,
boycott, and, in the case Of the woman
who pays higher than union wages, So
cial ostracism
The joke about the plumber being
better paid man than the college pro-
fessor has lost some Of its freshness.
It's very old stuff. And it may be said
for the plumber that he deserves it in a
measure for having had the intelligence
to organize. /. is not a question of
dignity: it is a question of survival.
1t is obvious that it will take a man
Of genius to launch and perfect such
union. This is no valid reason for hest
tation. The answer is that there are
men OF genius. We might cable Mr..
Vanderlip to hurry back from Japan to
take over job his size. Or Mr.. Hoover
might be interested. Or General Wood.
Quite incidentally, it would be a great
satisfaction for the union of the public
to put itself conspicuously on record as
being very much bored by the idea of
an oight-hour day. Fancy limiting any
creative worker, doctor, mother or farm
err to an eight-hour day. There are, of
course, many classes of workers who
should have limited hours But the fact
remains that the evolution Of organized
labor is tending, in many fields, toward
a highly lucrative organized inertia.

Disturbances Esaggerafed

l. An official cablegram, dated Anril

treasury to our Commissioner General
for Economic and Financial Affairs in
New York, Professor b Attolico. reads
as follows:
at is true that there are some socia,
disturbances, but the Italians, like any
Tree people, say sometimes very exae-
gerated things which in fact thew
would not do. Deposits in the saving
banks have increased to $4,000 900 900
Ire, an amount which EQUALS the total
paper currency; our unfavorable bal
ance OF trade is gradually and sub
stant1ally recovering; our revenues
are on the increase; new expenditures
have been cut off. Not only any in
crease in the circulation Of paper cur
rency has been prohibited, but the
Royal Treasury makes every endeavor
to reduce it, and this will be done"

supply Of milk, foods and other essen
tial commodities are at present much
hampered in many centers of this coun-
try, but none of the Italians here would
care to report from this that Bolshev-
list agitation is spreading all over the
United States.
.. The report that Bolshevist upris
ing boosted the price Of coal to
$3.50 q ton at normal rate Of ex-
change is unfounded At all events.
the cost of coal depends on the price
at the mines and its cost of ocean
transportation; therefore. if the price
has ever reached that level. other peo-
pie rather than the Italian Bolshevists
are responsible for the increase.
You are very we'll aware Of the fact
that after the recent increase in the
wages Of coal miners an increase in the
price of coal ranging from 40 to so
cents ton would be justified, thus
bringing the price OF coal Cor export

LEADERS OF. BOTH PARTIES

apparently have been wiped out IN

On the Republican side, Senators
F! Borah, La Toilette, Gronna, Capper
and Lenroot are among the leading
opponents of the plan. Senators Nc
Kellar and Sheppard, among Demo-
Gratis, have already declared against
it.
Senator Borah today issued for
NAL statement of his position. After
pointing out that universal training
will add a heavy burden to the tax
payers, he said:
"But aside from the question Of
taxes, l have come to the conclusion
that we do not want and do not need
universal military training in this
country. Militarism is just the same
in a republic as it is anywhere else,
as we have found out. Universal
training and conscription in peace
time are the top roots of militarism.
