awarded a contract to Elder, Dempster

barrels Of case oil to West African
ports during t922 at a rate slightly
above that quoted by the Shipping
Board. There was nothing to indicate
however. that the loss of this contrac,
led TO the boards drastic action.
II. a. Safer, manager of the foreign
shipping department OF the Vacuum on
Company. said that open rates on case
oil had always existed and that bids
had been asked from both lines in the

FOR TRANSIT WAGES
Board of Estimate Again
Turns Down Commission
Request.

Because the Board of Estimate re-
fused again yesterday to vote the neces-
sary funds to meet the payroll OF the
500 Transit Commission employees for
the last two weeks OF 1921 George Nc
Aneny. chairman of the commission.
announced last evening that the COM
mission would make immediate applica-
tion 70 the Appellate Division for new
order of mandamus directing proper
action on the part of the Board OF
Estimate at the earliest possible mo-
ment'
When counsel for the commission re-
newed its requ!sition for $113. to
meet the balance Of the December pay
roll the request was voted down. Comp
troller Craig quoted Duncan MacInness
OF the Finance Department as authority
for the assertion that many OF the
Transit Commissions employees had re-
ceived salary increases amounting to
80 per cent. During the discussion
Mayor Hylan said:
IF they are allowed to get away with
this now it's only n matter OF time when
the taxpayer will be held up with gun
and his money be taken from his
pocket"
Miller Votes for Payment.
Borough President Riegelmann of
Brooklyn, who made the motion denying
the request. said: wen straighren out
these babies" Julius Miller, new Bor-
ougfl President of Manhattan, voted for
the appropriation in opposition to the
other members of the board. He Is a
lawyer. The board demanded that the
commission submit It's. wage schedule
before making further requisitIons.
Commenting on this action, Chairman
McAneny said:
"On April 10. before the commission
too office. there were 94S EMPLOYEES In
the service of its predecessors. There
are to-day 934. The combined half
monthly payrolls IL April amounted to
sS5,963. The corresponding payrolls at
the present time aggregate sS7.201, rep
resentfng net increase of scarcely more
than l per cent, notwithstanding the
commission has been required by law to
take over various new duties. and that
the scope of It's work generally has been
greatly broadened. The talk about
wholesale increases of salaries is abso-
lutely without foundation. a fact which
might readily have been verified had the
Board Of Estimate chosen to do so.
About 100000 Allowed.
"The Appellate Division by unani-
nous vote confirmed the decisions or fhe
lower courts and ordered the board OF
Estimate TO honor the commissions re-
quisitions. Full allowance had been
made by the Board OF Estimate (about
5000. .0n0) except for the final two weeks
In December covered by the acquisitions
now in question"
Counsel for the commission were ready
to argue the case before the Court Of
Appeals last October. To oblige Senator
Hiram w. Johnson Of counsel for the
city administration months delay TO
November 30 was arranged.
THE Board of Estimate" said Mr..
McAneny. has taken advantage OF this
delay, conceded as matter of courtesy
to its own representative. to repudiate
the arrangement. made with the court
and to penallze the commissions en-
pioyees without the slightest excuse.
