Relations Arc Distorted.

After the revolution wages rose
more rapidly than salaries. The dis
tortion Of the usual relation between
the earnings Of the laborer and the
brain worker for a few months was
great. The chauffeur was paid more
for driving the district attorney to
his office than the district attorney
for enforcing the law. The scrub
woman In the Kaiser Wilhelm Insti-
tute "a noted research foundation)
received more than the first scientist
in charge. At least such cases we're
being cited as characteristic. But the
discrepancy Is being rectifled. Sala-
ries arc rising steadily and wages
have not kept pace.

Sim Fein sympashizers attempted 10
break up a meeting of Manhattan Naval

IN Public School No. IT In West Forty

! their efforts was that one Of the in
tcrrupters, Mrs. Mary McManus of lilo

after she had shouted that the members

spite of the Irish synpathizers. who
cheered every mention Of the recent
horror of the Rhine meeting, the legion
aires adopted Il resolution denouncing
the city government for permitting the
meeting and demanding that A. Z. An
derson. formerly Northumberland OF
the 165th infantry and one Of the prin-
cipal speakers at the Rhine meeting. be
expelled from membership IN the legion.
In addition to these resolutions the
James s. Slosson Post Of the legion held
a meeting last night IN St. George.

demanding that eli members OF the le
gion who participated IN the Madison

condenning the gathering sponsored By
Edmund Won Mach and other German
and Irish synlpathizcrs as a propaganda
effort to create discord between the
similar to those OF the Manhattan Naval
Post also were adopted by the New Ro-
chelle Post OF the American Legion.
The demand Of the Naval Post for the
trial and expulsion OF Mr.. Anderson de-
ciares that he has shown himself unfit
to belong to an organization composed
OF Americans of the calibre Of those who
belong TO the legion.
Most of the disorder at the meeting OF
the Naval Post last night occurred dur
ing the address Of James NJ. Blackwell.
formerly a Major In the 30Sth Infantry
Of the Seventy-seventh Division. He re-
ferred to Anderson as Mr. Anderson.
and the Irish sympathizers cheered his
mention of the name and set up loud
shouts of "Col. Anderson -
''Iie Is Mr.. Anderson said Mr.. Black
we'll. "Tne war is over !"
Mr.. Blackwell proceeded with his
speech. declaring that the meeting had
been called to decide whether Mr. An
derson should be publicly condemned. At
this point some one in the audience
shouted
How about the Black and Tans?"
"Wnat have the Black and Tans got 10

I'VE are talking about German meet
ing held TO discuss the alleged presence
of black troops OH the Rhine. The Black
and Tans are not on the Rhine. The
American Legion Is not concerned with
the Black and Tans. This IS the Ameri-
can Legion. not the Irish legion"
Several Sim Feiners jumped 70 their
feet and began yelling protests that
Blackwell was not a good American be-
cause he refused to denounce the Black
and Tans. and the Legionaires greeted
them with cries of Throw them OUT

Facts Difficult to Get.

No one knows exactly or eren APP
proximately how much the average
wage earner in Berlin eats or how lie
lives. Studies of i large number Of
characteristic families. based on ac-
tual family budgets have not been
made. Probably thIrd-po-sibly
more-of the men are down 10 a one
shirt schedule; that Is, they come
from work Saturday night and stay
abed until the shirt has been iaun-
dered. Thousands OF dwellings are
unheated IN families with many
children one or two pairs Of shoes
very often must do for all. and nu-
merous cases can be cited where chill
dren have no clothes and lie in bed
to keep warm. And these beds are
usually straw mattresses without
sheets. Many newborn babies arc
wrapped in paper because their par
ents cannot afford clothing.
OF the Berlin school children
early last year II was estimated that
one-fourth had no overcoats or warm
suits or warm dresses; 27.S per
cent. had no shoes. The official
investigators Of the Government
health insurance fund reported that
very often everything was lacking.
Sheets and curtains had been made
over to shirts, which wore out quick
~. Pregnant women cut up their
own underwear to make clothing for
the expected baby, and were found
the day Of delivery lying practically
undressed on bare mattresses.
But what percentage Of families is
reduced to such wretchedness cannot
even be approximately estimated.
The most vivid depletion Of the
existence Of the Berlin workers Is
given by one Of Or. Kuczynski's cal
culations. Before the war the mini
mum cost Of maintaining family Of
four for week was twenty-nine
marks, while the average wage was
thirty-five marks. Last November
the minimum cost was 316 marks,
the average wage was 240 marks. In
January both wages and the cost Of
living were somewhat above these
figures.
SO the worker who before had six
marks remaining, or IL per cent, Of
his income, after paying for lodging,
food, clothing and fuel has to-day a
shortage Of 29 per cent. In meeting
these items alone.
