TAMMANY HALL AND
HYLAN ARE WARNED
Told They Are in Power Be-
cause Independent Voters
Wanted Mitchell Out.

In a bookle. called "Civic Lessons
From Mayor Mitchel's Defeat" ISSUED
yesterday by the Institute for Public
Service. Mayor Hylan and Tammany
Hall are warned from Mayor Mitcheps
experience that they are in office De-
cause independent voters wanted TO vote
Mitchell out in 1917 rather than for any
enthusiasm for them, and that it would
be, folly for the present administration
to assume that any preventable cause OF
dissatisfaction of voters will prove OF
minor influence at election time. There
fore the Institute for Public Service
urges that the wisest course would be
for Hylan to admit frankly wherein he
may have fallen down, and pledge him
self to renewed efforts in the interest OF
better government If he expects to win.
The publishers of the pamphlet state
that the volume is not intended to be
partisan, but guide for the decision OF
independent voters, and the analysis OF
the reasons for Mitchel's defeat Is made
for the purpose of showing that the de-
feat was not a reputation OF reform.
but rejection OF reform which was
falling in its functions. complemented by
the hope OF obtaining progress in q COM
plete change
Mayor Hylan is reminded. with the
schools $25,OOO,000 short OF their needs
that "the school issue always favors the
outs II schools are under supported
On the other hand, the institute con-
cedes that If Ave cent fare becomes
the issue in the forthcoming campaign
many mistakes probably would be swal-
lowed by the voters unless the opposing
candidate can present convincing argu-
ment that the public needs an eight cent
fare
Those who may be organizing Fusion
or straight Republican campaigns are
reminded that Mayor Hylan cannot be
beaten by talk of "art artists" or other
highbrow criticism; that by admitting
mistakes made when last in power the
outs may win large blocks OF votes
against conditions the Gins" have failed
to correct and that vague charges and
unspecifc pledges and wordy or IN
definite anti-Hylan platform Will make
votes for Hylan.
The pamphlet outlines twenty-five rea-
sons for the defeat OF Mitchell, and from
these draws seventy-three general propo-
sltions. which might be summed up In a
honesty and candor" slogan--for guid-
ance in the coming campaign-twenty-
five for the party in power. fourteen TOT
the "outs," ten for independent voters,
twelve for teachers of citizenship and
twelve for promoters and students OF
public service"

SKINS COST LESS BUT
SHOE PRICES DOUBLE
U. S. Report Says Retailers
Hinder Readjustment.

WASHINGTON, May Retail prices
appear TO be the sticking" point in the
countrys readjustment process, the Fed
eral Reserve Board said tonight in a
general review Of business and financial
conditions for April. Other factors re-
tarding readjustment were said TO be
high transportation charges. wages and
coal and steel prices.
Increasing appreciation of the nature
of the readjustment process in business
and the community at large, however,
the board said. is focusing attention
upon the factors that are delaying busi-
ness recovery and is promoting discus
sion with view to removing obstacles
and expediting recovery.
Complete business recovery. the board
continued, has been slower than waH
predicted generally at the close OF the
last year, and expectations that this
spring would see economic and business
readjustment fairly completed have not
been realized. Nevertheless. 1t added,
the month of April has given evidence of
an improved feeling developing with re-
gard to business and the outlook gen.
orally.
Prices. the review continued, have
been the pivotal point in the business
situation since the recession movement
began last autumn. The fall in whole
sale prices, which has been continuous
and at times precipitate. it declared
appears to be in a process of arrest
they having shown a greater degree OF
stability during April.
Extreme unevenness in price reduc-
tions, however. the board said, Is one
of the striking features in the present
industrial situation. While in many I'M
portant lines Of wholesale trade pre-war
prices exist, in other lines commodities
are being sold at twice or even more
than twice the 1913 values.
Raw cotton, the board declared, Is
lower than the 1918 level and wool Is
about third higher than before the
war. but cotton goods are at least &c
per cent higher than in 1918. and wool.
len cloth is approximately twice as high
as the pre-war level. In the hide ant
leather industry the discrepancy is ever
greater. the board asserted. the present
price OF skins being one-third under
pre-war levels while the price OF shoe.
is twice as high as in 1913.

NEW HOMES RISING
IN EVERY BOROUGH
Tax Exemption Has Boosted
Apartment Building 450
Per Cent.

Since the enactment last February OF
the ordinance exempting new dwellings
from taxation. the construction Of apart
ment houses has increased more than
$50 per cent over the construction
started in the similar period of last year
according to building plans filed I'm the
five boroughs, figures OF which were
made public yesterday by Henry H. Cur
ran, President of the Borough of Man
haitian. Mr.. Curran. who was sponsor Of
OF the ordinance, issued also an appeal
to people with money to lend to put II
out on first and second mortgages to aid
In relief Of the housing shortage.
For the first time in four years, Mr..
C.urran said. there are signs of d gem
eral building of apartment houses IN
New York city. Last week plans were
1led in the five boroughs to take care or
$50 families in apartment houses, as
against forty-four families provided for
In the plans filed during the same week
a year ago. This spurt caps the climax
of steady growth in this form OF build
ing since the tax exemption ordinance
was adopted on February 25.
Figures for the first eight weeks
since tax exemption took effect show
plans for a total of 2.733 apartments, as
against a totol of only 493 apartments
for the same eight weeks a year ago.
This is an increase OF asa per cent The
average cost of the new apartments
planned is s4.68s, and they are all de-
signed to fall just within the $4,000
limit of the tax exemption ordinance
Apartments built at the rate OF s4,6Se
each represent homes for people of mod
crate means that will rent at reasonable
figures.
while the volume Of homes that re-
suits from apartment house building on
any substantial scale Is essential TO
early relief of the shortage Of homes in
New York. the better form of housing
provided by the little one and two fam
ily houses is still in full swing. Plans
filed for this type OF dwelling during
the first eight weeks since tax exemption
will take care of 4,013 families, as
against 3196 families for the same
period year ago. an increase OF 20 per
cent The most casual inspection VIII
show these little houses--that come near
er to being a home than any fiat that
was ever built--are springing up all over
the city.
"The total number of families taken
care of in the plans filed since February
25. for all types OF homes, Is 6.746, as
against 3,6S9 for the same period year
ago. an increase OF 3,057. or SO per cent,
over last year The good effects OF tax
exemption are progressive. for the year $
total increases over the same period OF
a year ago were 61 per cent at the end
of the first two weeks; rs per cent. at
the end OF the first five weeks. and now
