UNREST OF LABOR IS
FOUND ON DECREASE
Merchants Association Survey
Shows Wage Farmers Get
ting Back to Normal.

Decrease in the unrest in the field of
5oth skilled and unskilled labor is shown
ir series of tables prepared and made
public yesterday by the Merchants AS
ISOLATION Of New York.
The tables indicate that the labor
turnovers in forty-two manufacturing
plants visited by investigators for the
association have been very large this
year, particularly in the field of I'M
skilled labor. and the report of the as
ISOLATION states that it Is the general
opinion of employers that the turnover
Of factory labor has increased greatly
in the last few years.
1.-The tendency now. however, seems
to he in the opposite direction the re-
port says. Labor turnover at the pres
ent time is on the decrease" As labor
turnover is looked upon as an infallible
barometer of rest or unrest among the
wage earning classes, these findings are
egarded as indicating with a certainty
& settling down to normal conditions.
The turnover is computed by dividing
the number of employees replaced dur
n,g = year with the average number of
persons on the payroll during the same
ueriod A summary prepared in this
manner shows that one-third of the
factories investigated had a turnover OF
zoo per cent. or more during the first
eight months OF 1920.
Among factories run largely on UNI
killed labor 1t was found that 43 per
cent. had a turnover Of between 200
and $50 per cent, while in the factories
un largely by skilled labor the per-
centage was only about half as large.
Comparing its figures with the re-
suits of n study made during the war
by the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics covering thirty-seven factories
in Cleveland. the investigators state
hat the labor turnover in New York
city to-day is considerably less than 1t
vas In Cleveland two years ago.

Five Specially Wanted.

It is generally known among those in
terested in the situation that the men
PARTICULARLY wanted by the court in con-
nection with the taking of graft are five
IL number three of them office holders
in Nassau and two OF them men who
now hold no public positions. but who
were once personages in n political way
in Queens These men are supposed to
have been in closer touch with the men
who have pleaded guilty than any one
else in the jurisdiction. and the whole
group have been seen much in each
others company at Belmont Park and
other race tracks during the summer.
1t is considered that one way in which
the gamblers may have paid their way
was to have opened accounts with book
makers for the men who let them oper-
ate without hindrance. There are four
other officials of Nassau who have been
named as receivers of protection money
but 1t is understood they were not as
generously taken care OF as the ones
who are wanted most, and also that
they have not been on the gamblers
payroll for SO long a time.
In accepting pleas of guilty from
Gideon, Busted and Shaughnessy JUS
tice Scudder informed them that their
ole hope OF obtaining mercy from the
court lay in their disclosing the names
of the officials to whom they had paid
tribute. Their sentence day was first
set for October 6, and was l. ter deferred
following certain testimony alvep by
Shaughnessy- All three OF the gamblers
lave declared they will take the full
nenalty OF the law before they will give
a name, but there Is feeling through
out the county that some one of them
las given some hint or intimaton which.
before many days have passed. will
bear fruit in the form Of indictments
Gideon is rs years old and Busted
IS ~. and Gideon wept when they were
arraigned together and informed they
would have to help the peoples case If
they expected mercy.

LA GUARDIA SEEKS
NEW HOUSING DATA
Asks Prospective Builders to
Give Information on Which
City Can Act.
MAY BE EXEMPTION BASIS
800 Tenants at One and 500
at Another Ambient Rise
Mass Meeting.

If the city decides, under the power
granted to it last month by the Legis-
lature to exempt new residential build
irgs from local taxation for the next
ten years, what assurance is there that
the building OF dwellings will begin i'm
mediately or that such building, II 1t does
take place. will offer any benefits to the
tenants? F. II. La Guardia, President
of the Board OF Aldermen. asked this
question yesterday, and declared that
The board would give this matter very
careful consideration before it acts.
I'm order to know just low many
builders expect to take advantage Of
this situation in the event that we au-
thorize such exemption" said Mr. La
Guardia, IT ask all prospective builders
to inform my office Immediately of the
style of building they intend to con-
struct, the location. whether for specu-
'ation or whether intended for their own
use. and If an apartment house. the
number of apartments therein.
Il consider that the general power
granted to the Board OF Aldermen car
ries with 1t the implied power to impose
conditions and restrictions if such arc
ask the board to appoint special COM
nlittee to which / shall turn over all
applications received.
What want to do is TO have some
Of 1af ri ia
how many intend taking advantage Of
this law and under what conditions
Therefore all builders are urged to COM
municate at once with this office and
quicker we get this information the bet
ter able we will be to know what benefit
will come from the exemption of taxes.
Shot to Pieces by Profteers.
Personally I feel that where apart
ment houses are exempted tenants
should get the benefit of the tax exomp-
ton. 1t might be said that as long rs
buildings go up the benefit of additional
accommodation will inure to the tenant
That Is true to a certain extent in ac-
cordance with the law of supply and de-
mand, but the law or supply and demand
has been shot to pieces by profiteers.
Every one knows that the present rates
OF rent are artincially created and ar
bitrarily fixed. What good would it be
to the city If we exempt from taxation
buildings that are to be constructed Or
purchased by INSCRIPTIONS profteers
who will get the benefits of the exemp-
ton and keen up existing exorbtant
prices? TIE bona fde reputable land

which IS expected to lead to its perma-
nent cleaning up.
Mr.. Weeks was never able 10 get much
evidence himself. but he started things
Within the last three years, at regular
intervals, he has raidad hrst one gaming
house and then another, but what has
hampered hun always has been the tact
that the men he had 70 work with were
officials Of the criminal machinery of the
county. Something always seemed TO
leak whenever Mr. Weeks took the road.
Invariably when he and his men drove
up TO a house ii was closed completely.
or else there was only a single guardian
in ii and no gambling paraphernalia any
where about. It was to help Mr.. Weeks
in his campaign that Justice Scudder
took hold.
Last summer Justice Scudder insti-
tuted a John Doe proceeding for the gen
eral purpose of fishing into county af-
fairs and with a particular purpose OF
finding out why gambling houses ran
openly and county officials did not close
them. About this time the Nassau
County Association, composed of resi-
dents OF the county who take a pride In
1t and wish to see it law ABIDING, held
a meeting and decided to do something
about the gambling situation on its own
account. ana finally arranged to send
its counsel, Neil H. Vandewater, on
raid to Busteed's and Gideons in Hew-
lett, with squad of the State police to
back him up
The raid, which was successful. was
the opening wedge into the solid front of
law breakers and delinquent officials.
who had set the law at naught for so
long in the county. Vandewater and his
party descended suddenly and got the
goods. Even when they came the gam
blers' defence system functioned SO well
that much OF the gambling apparatus in
the houses was out of the way. but the
Vandewater party in searching for 1t
found the secret closets built especially
to receive it in case of such raid as
theirs. and they also found men who adj
mitted that they had been playing and
other men who admitted that they were
attaches and servants of the houses.
The evidence which they obtained
was submitted to Grand Jury, and nine
indictments We're found. All the defend
ants after consultation with counsel,
duly entered pleas OF guilty. Gideon and
Bustoed among them. Subsequently
Shaughnessy, after his place at Lyn-
brook had been visited, also entered a
plea of guilty. In the meantime Lou
Belts, who had been indicted as n gam
bling house proprietor, betook himself
out of the county before his day came
to plead.
