The Wage of Our Policemen.


to-day at City Hall on the bills passe'
by the Legislature to increase tn
pay of first grade policemen and hre
men OF New York city to $500 ;
year. The committee Of policemen
aud firemen which has been workin'
in behalf OF these measures has pre-
pared this statement Of ten reasons
why this increase should be granted
Recent awards OF arbiters In labor
disputes show that employees IN
trades such as printing. building. &c.
will continue to receive salaries in
excess OF the present pay Of patrol
men and flremen.
"Patrolmen and fremen. unlike all
other classes OF employees, public or
private, are prohibited from engaging
in any outside work for pay Thus
their compensation Is confined en-
tircIy to what they receive from the
city.
Mandatory expenses OF patrolmen
and firemen are more than S2OO
year. Policemen must pay for every
thing they wear br use, including the
bullets in their revolvers. Tiremen
must pay for any part OF their equip
ment destroyed or damaged at a fire.
'',rhc pcris and hardships OF police
and fire duty are proved by the
steadily increasing number OF MUIR
ders OF policemen, more than dozen
having made the supreme sacrifice in
the Police Department since January
i. Firemen are continually manned,
and many are killed in discharge OF
duty.
THE highest wages in the trades
are based upon night work, which Is
obnoxious to most citizens. Women
are prohibited by law from night
work. Organized labor has made
night hours shorter and the pay
larger TO minimize night work. More
than one-half of the hours OF duty Of
patrohnen are at night. One-half Of
the hours OF duty OF Hremen are at
night
"Patrolmen and hremen are pro-
hibited from living outside the city
limits. thus depriving them OF the
opportunity OF seeking lower rents.
There has been steady increase
A. - tAe ~ ha
departments due to the rising tide Of
crime everywhere, including incen-
dlarism.
I'm the past twenty years the
superiors have obtained increases IN
pay far in excess of those granted TO
the men of the lower ranks. whose
greater need is shown by the number
of loans to patrolmen and firemen by
the Morris Plan Company.
"Patrolmen are on duty an average
Of ten hours n day throughout the
year. Firemen are on duty twelve
hours day throughout the year cx-
cept their vacation time. Under the
rules patrolmen and firemen are
actually on duty every hour OF the
twenty-four. and are subject to call
and orders at any time.
The bills take effect January 1,
1923. and increase only the pay Of
patrolmen who have served five years
and hremen who have served three
years"
These pay bills should be approved
by both the Mayor and the Governor
They do not carry the pay of either
policeman or fireman beyond faii
compensation. They are in accort
with the contentious of THE New

than justice to our fine body of police
and our daring, efficient firemen.

ny W. ). HENDERSON.

The annual benefit performance for
the emerge ICY fund took place at the
Metropolitan Opera House yesterday af-
ternoon. The program consisted Of the
fourth act OF III Trovatore, with Mines.
Peralta and Gordon, Messrs. Salazar and
De Luca: the fourth act OF Faust,
With Mne. sundeiius, Messrs. Harold
and Rothicr: the third act of La Bo-
hcme." with Misses Farrar and Roseile.
Messrs Chamlee and Scotti. and the
third act of Aida" with Misses Muzio
and Gordon. Messrs. Martinelli and
Whitehiil
After the excerpt from LA Boheme"
there was much enthusiasm and Miss
Farrar was literally covered with fiow-
ers. When she had been recalled several
times, both alone and with her asso-
ciates, she finally addressed the audi
ence saying that she was very glad to
sing Mimi once more after eleven years
in memory OF Mr.. Caruso. Miss Farrar
was calling attention to the fact that
she had not sung the role in all those
years and that she had always sung II
with Mr.. Caruso
In the evening the opera was Boito's
"Mefstofele." Nine. Aida as Marguerite,
Nine. Easton as Helen. Nine. Howard as
Marta and Miss Ferini as Pantnhs. Mr
Gigli as Faust and Mr.. Mardones as
Mehsfofsle were the principals
The performance was one OF general
merit Mime. Alda's Marguerite Is one
OF her best achievements, and the music
OF the classic Sabbath scene Is excel
lently suited to the voice and style Of
Nine. Easton. Mr.. Gigli's singing last
evening was quite equal to the standard
which he set up for himself when he
made his New York debut as Faust In
Boito's opera. He showed no inclination
to sacrifice beauty to mere power OF
tone.
Mr. Mardones Is not a particularly
diabolical Mefistofeles. He has voice
equal to the demands of the music and
he sings it in fine ringing manner,
honest and painstaking, but without
much subtlety. A businesslike devil is
of course to be praised. but Goethe's
fiend was 2 philosopher and cynic, as
devil has got to be il he expects TO
succeed in his profession, and Boito,
who tried to be respectful and sympa-
thetic in his operate transformation of
the German poet, has given his bass
hero some considerable opportunities for
sardonic eoouence. But these do not
seem to lie quite within the scope of the
craft of Mr.. Mardones.
The spectacular features OF the opera
again evoked manifestations OF approval
and the orchestral part OF the perform
ance was admirable. Mr. Moranzoni
conducted.
