Committee Ignores Protest
Made by the Fairgrounds

TO SET ASIDE 100000
Decision on Use Of Reservoir
for Swimming Pool Ex-
pected Tomorrow.

Despite the opposition Of the Park
and Fairgrounds Association the
Board of Estimate through the COM
mittee of the whole committed itself
yesterday to the plan to put the war
memorial in Central Park. 1t decided
to recommend to the board at it's last
meeting Of the summer, to be held
tomorrow, that 100000 be set aside
for the proposed arch and incidental
work. The entire plan includes the
establishment Of a recreation center,
including swimming pool

already sent.

mate.

The memorial committee. of which
Rodman Wanamaker is chairman.
hopes to have the memorial completed
for the celebration of the twenty-ffth
anniversary Of Greater New York,
which is to be held next year.
The Fairgrounds Association holds
that parks should be devoted to beau
ties OF nature and artificialestructures
such as memorial arches and the like
should be kept out as much as possible.
AS for the swimming pool and other
recreational features proposed the as
sociation says:
1T will result that the park will
cease to be breathing space and a
place in which TO enjoy the natural
beauties of woodland landscape. 1t will
become instead a thronged and noisy
entertainment resort"
The Hylan plan is to have the me-
mortal arch and recreat ation center on
the site Of the reservoir In Central
Park. 1t Is estimated it will cost about
100000 to tear down this structure and
grade around It, The memorial arch
will cost 100000 more. The swimming
pools and other features suggested
would take anywhere up 10 $500 900, It
is estimated.
Although the money for the recrea-
ton center is not TO be appropriated at
this time. any action will be fought on
the ground that beginning would
leave room for further encroachments.

CHICAGO, July 12.-The adjustment
committee of the Railway Executives
Association. in session here to-day,
fatty refused to discuss the peace
program presented to them by Ben w.
Hooper, chairman of the United States
Railroad Labor Board. The refusal
was in a letter written to Mr.. Hooper.
Mr.. Hooper, who was acting in a
personal capacity and not as chair
man of the board. presented a tenta-
tive offer that had been made to him
by B. NJ. Jewell, head OF the striking
shopmen. for the consideration Of the
railway executives VINO had gathered
here to meet representatives of the
"big four" brotherhoods.
Before beginning consideration OF
the peace program submitted by Mr..
Jewell the rail executives reached an
agreement with leaders Of the big
Four" brotherhoods not to require
their members to do any work of the
striking shopmen.
There is only one chance to settle
this strike so far as the railroads are
concerned and that is for the shop
crafts TO recall their strike order and
go back to the jobs that remain open"
declared member Of the adjustment
committee OF the railroads.
while the railway executives ap-
preciate the efforts of Chairman
Hooper and his colleagues to bring
about an amicable settlement OF the
present difficulties we feel that the

province when they bring their griev-

The program for settling the strike
as submitted by Mr.. Hoover included
four concessions sought by Mr.. Jewell
Of the shop crafts They are:
That the carriers agree TO wipe out
the system under which some roads
have let out work 90 contractors not
within the jurisdiction OF the labor

ditions.
That certain working rules. partic-

That President Jewell be assured

were completed to-day and we are now
prepared for any eventuality. The

We have 10000 trucks in daily use and a
surplus of 1000. We can draw on the
War Department for at least 1000 more.

Twenty-one Of these are in the air every

ready TO assemble and others that we
can get together at short notice We
have a waiting list of aviators to man

Postmaster General Work EXPLAINED
that the trucks which are now used in
cities TO transport mail would be used to
carry mail from city to city. Postmas-
ters have been instructed to see that
all surplus trucks are placed in readi-
ness to move at an hours notice and
drivers are being recruited. An array OF
5000 trucks, II is believed. will go far
toward transporting mails almost to
every part of the country.
