TIE Police Department made an
catch some Of the bandits and bur-
glars who have been reaping such a
rich harvest in New York in the last
few months, by putting ten Ford rur-
abouts in service at four precincts for
patrol purposes.
In addition to these several Eve
seated touring cars will be placed on
duty this morning, each manned by a
sergeant and a detail of pos emen.
The cars will tour various districts.
laying particular attention to jewelry,
loft and other business sections where
bandits have been operating.
The runabouts were put in service at
6 o'clock at the West Thirtieth, the
West 152d street, the Arsenal stations
In New York and the Prospect station
In Brooklyn. Each car is manned by a
sergeant and a patrolman. the latter as
chauffeur. The machines began at once
to tour the precincts. The sergeant
will watch for suspicious persons and
suspicious automobiles. and efforts will
be made to detain the former and catch
the latter. although there was not much
optimism in the department last nigh,
regarding the ability OF the runabouts
to catch the high powered machines
usually used by the bandits.
The police hope, however. the. bandits
may be deferred by the fact the flivver
runabouts are clattering about the
streets with a sergeant and a patrolman
In them. and they hope for even better
results when the larger cars go on duty
to-day. Within the next few days other
precincts win be furnished with the
patrolling runabouts. and the depart
ment hopes eventually to have enough
of them completely to cover every pre-
cinct in the city.
The Brooklyn police let 1t be known
last night there have been good results
so far from the system OF surveillance
which was put into effect about a month
ago, such good results that in the last
four weeks more than 900 patrolmen
and officers have been up on cha rges
in Brooklyn Headquarters. Sixty-five
OF these cases were tried yesterday by
Deputy Commissioner John A. DAILY
but. as in the other cases, decision was
reserved
Under this system sergeants go forth
each night and during the day to watch
the partolmen. the lieutenants go forth
TO watch the sergeants and the captains

Inspector has plain clothes men out
watching the whole lot. and from head
quarters go other details to watch the

other details to watch the watchers.
and so on. But as a result of the sys-
tenn many patrolmen have been caught
sitting down or smoking or eating when
on duty, or talking too long with each
other. and they have been brought up
on charges.

If any attempt is made by the Gov

prolonged coal strike union long
shoremen will refuse TO unload it.
At the close of meeting of the ex-
ecutive board Of the New York loca!
of the International Seamen's Union
last night A. l.. Parks, secretary Of
the local, announced that the question
whether members of the union will as-
sist in the transportation of British

OF the international union in Wash

The seamen's union includes engine
men. stewards. cooks and other steam
ship workers. Last nights meeting, IL
had been reported. would discuss a SYM
pathetic strike. but. according to Mr..
Parks. the question is not one for local
action. All the crews on the Shipping
Boards fleet are members of this union.
The stat. that the Iongshoremen
would not hail 'eign coal was made
by Joseph p. Rya- s-president OF the
International Longs. mems Associa-
ton. which has a locai membership of
60 900. following reports from Washing
ton that Government officials have
asked the Shipping Board to consider a
scheme to carry coal as ballast on ships
plying between the United states and
coal producing countries.
A special meeting OF longshoremen will
be held to plan cooperation with the
coal strikers, Ryan said. The next
scheduled meeting of the district coun-
ell is set for April 3. but II the strike
starts April /. the dock workers and
other marine unions will then get to-
gether on the handling Of coal cargoes.

miners and mine operators were re-

When the conference meets this al
ternoon the 20 per cent. wage increase
probably will be discussed, and the ac-

on the hard coal strike.
