MAN BUT
NOT AbURGLAR
Thought That "Friend of the
Family" Was Thief--Is
Released

A spirited chase for a supposed
burglar was the feature event along
Cortlandt street last night. The
chase involved three policemen and
was marked by a volley of three re-
yolver shots. The cops caught their
man but later found that he was not
a burglar after all.
Patrolmen John Reager, John
Riedv and James Sullivan began
their chase when their attention
was attracted by a woman's scream
A few seconds after the scream =
man shot out OF a nearby alley and
tore down the street, with the po-
licemen after him. When shouted
commands failed to halt the man
Sullivan drew his revolver and hred
three shots into the air. The feeing
man halted and was overhauled by
the police.
The prisoner then gave his name
as Frank Yotjewski, and his address
as $40 Charles street. An investiga-
ton at the home of Steve Berkow--
ski, of GAL Cortlandt street revealed
the fact that Yotjewski was a friend
of the family. A daughter of Ber-
kowski's heard him outside the
house and screamed when she be-
lieved he was q burglar. Yotjewskl.
who was described as being man
drunk at the time" took alarm at
the scream and got under wa as
rapidly as possible. The case was
settled when it was established that
Yotjewski meant no harm.

Statement ON STRIKE
BY THE CABLE WORKS
CONTINUED from page ~

penses in the execution of present
orders. even IL further advances in
our rates of pay were justified.
you are after all, all interested
not so much in the dollars received
as in what those dollars will pur-
chase for you, and upon this basis
as well, a comparison with earlier
records will demonstrate that while
rates of pay have been going down,
the purchasing value of the Collar
has been steadily increasing; and
the net result OF present rates of pay
in all departments and classes or
the cable works is that the pay per
hour which you are receiving today
goes farther and will purchase more
than the pay per hour received at
the beginning of the war.
LAS matters now stand, a large
number of our employees TO whom
we have voluntarily paid consider
ably higher rates than we would
have needed to pay under competi-
tive conditions, or in order to keep
pace with the changing purchasing
value Of the dollar have been will
ing to accept the higher compensa-
ton compared with other rates be-
ing paid locally which we have VOL
unfairly and cheerfully paid, but
have either quite overlooked the i'm
portant facts in the case, Or have
permitted themselves TO be badly
advised or lead into demands or ex-
pectations which are unreasonable
and unfair, and which would PEN
alize the cable company for its fair
and liberal action Of which you have
had the benefit for the past year or
more, in maintaining its rates sew
eral cents per hour higher than the
usual relationship OF rates in this
district.
when our employees are willing
TO consider the matter reasonably
and are ready to return to work we
are prepared TO have them do so.

yEW|SHFEAST Of
Weeks JUNE z
Festival to be Observed in
Synagogues on Two Sue
cessiye Days

The Feast of Weeks. known in He
brew as Shabuoth. will be celebrated
this year on Friday, June 2. in all
Jewish congregations of this coun'
try. This festival is among those
which orthodox synagogs observe on
two successive days.
The particular interest occasioned
by this feast rests in the modern use
made of il by Reform congregations
ON this festival the children of the
religious school who have attained
q practical knowledge of Biblical
history and Jewish religious beliefs
and doctrines, as well as a reading
knowledge of Hebrew, are gradual
cd or confirmed.
The confirmation ceremony is a
modern adaptation by the Synagog'
In this rite the children testify 20 the
love and justice wherewitn God rules
the destinies of men and nations. II
T. a ceremony of conservation where
in the boy and girl having reached
the age OF reason. pledge themselves
to continue the covenant made be-
tween God and Israel at Sinai. when
God gave the Decalog unto lsraei
and consecrated him a p-test-people
10 serve at the altar of humanity.
A renewal of this dedication is
now involved in the confirmation
service which marks. on the one
hand a elimination of religious in
struction received in the Religious
school, and on the other hand a vol
untary recognition of duties and re-
s~ponsbilities as a member of the
household of Israel to labor in be-
half of those ideals of Righteousness
and justice which are the saving
\ factors of humanity.
The modern Interpretation OF Sha-
buoth follows the process OF jewish
tradition which has invested this n
of the three pilgrim feasts OF ancient
Palestinians with a new content. yet
with a meaning that is an embodi-
fneut and continuation Of the origi-
raj conception and purpose OF n
feast
In remote antiquity the Feast OF
Weeks was one of a mum Der or agri-
cultural festivities, Shabuoth being
abseryed IN honor of the ripening OF
the f1rst fruits and grains. (Deut'
16:1O). These were given as free
will offerings unto God at h tenn
ple IN Jerusalem whittier the people
OF Palestine in vast numbers gather
ed to rejoice before the Lord.
Later an historical event OF early
Hebraic history was associated win
this spring harvest. and that was the
racmentous occasion of the giving OF
the DecaIog to the children of Is
rael who represented the first fruits
of the ripening consciousness OF
God.
Tho c~onvenant that then btain
between God and Israel resulted IN
a conservation of the people to the
service of God. BY means OF this
revelation the Jewish people have
been elected to become the messen-
gers of those ethical laws OF duty
and obligation which r the foun-
dation OF modern civilization. Under
the inspiration OF this dedication the
Jew z~eaiously strives TO stay the
aaads-p q sin and corruption hat
threaten tne peace of the world. This
conservation is viewed as the mis-
sion of the Jew" II invests him
with a purpose and gives him a task
10 perform for humanity.
