Government has levied and collected
penalty amounting to 100000, and
besides has collected about $1,100 .000

THE NEW York HERALD obtained an
authoritative statement outlining the
atrical plans Of greatest interest which
she and the manager have In mind.
Miss Farrar and Mr.. Belasco have dis
cussed the possibilities of her appear
ing In play under his management
for several years. II In well known that
the manager coached her for her opcr-
attic appearances in "Madama Butter

duced as plays with great success.
Much OF her success in those roles she
attributes to the skillful direction of
this master, who 1t Is known regarded
her even greater as an actress than as
a singer
Her friends thought on Saturday she
might have referred to report which

Police Commissioner Richard E.
the rank and file of the force, in which
he declared that many patrolmen are
becoming indifferent; that discipline Is
weakening. and that the number of
men up on charges is constantly
growing.
There must be general stiffening
up Of the department" said the Com
missioner "One Hundred per cent
efficiency is demanded and will be
obtained"
The order called the attention of the
policemen to the fact that many patrol
men, and even segeants and lieutenants,
arc reporting to trial rooms either as
witnesses or under charges in uncean
and untidy uniforms frequently un-
shaved and presenting an entirely i'm
proper appearance. The commissioner
complains also that patrolmcn. SER
eeants and lieutcnants are presenting
themselves before him for advancement
IN uniforms which should have been con-
demned long ago, and presenting an APP
pearance which docs not give the de-
partment good name.
The tone OF the order indicates gen.
eral lowering of morale all along the
line. The Commissioner calls upon the
commanding officers of the precincts
to enforce the orders relating to cleanIi-
ness and appearance, and declares that
he will hold them responsibleN for the
enforcement of the departmental rules
of discipline.
The Commissioner. in taking up the
increasing number of men OH trial for
trivial offenses, says there are many
complaints of men absent from their
posts and lounging In lunch rooms and
lunch wagons, of being late for reserve
duty or roll call. and of generally con-
ducting themselves In a manner which
does not rebound to the credit OF them
selves or the department
So many criminals are lying low as
the result of the court convictions and
drive OF the last two weeks that the
police felt safe In resuming yesterday
drills for the parade, suspended recently
by order of Commissioner Enright. Only
seven arrests were made in the city yes
terday, four In Manhattan and three In
Brooklyn. This Is the lowest number
for q twenty-four hour period for sew
eral years.
When the criminal courts of New
York county opened yesterday there
were 2S6 cases of crimes Of violence.

Attorney Banton pointed to this differ
cnce as the result Of his efforts to

feet already was shown In decrease

RElVA MONEYS
APPEAL TO ALL
CENTRAL BODIES

Greetings;
A situation has arrived in the af-
fairs of the Mooney Defense which
makes it imperative that all labor
organizations and friends Of the de-
tense make a supreme drive for the
freedom of Mooney and Billings.
TIE situation is such that a su-
preme drive at this opportune time
may result in the freedom of both
of these innocent prisoners. We be-
lieve that Governor Stephens, who
is running for reelection this fall,
will be forced to pardon Mooney and
Billings if a determined effort is
made in that direction by the Or
gained labor movement.
Added impetus has been given this
drive by the recent publication of an
affidavit by the wife of the foreman
of the jury which convicted Tom
Mooney, to the effect that her hus-
band, while foreman of the Mooney
jury, held nightly conferences with
one of the District Attorneys staff,
at which the evidence submitted dur
ing the day and its effect upon the
jury was discussed and plans were
laid for swinging the jury to the
prosecution.
We want you to adopt the follow
ing proposition and to carry it out
as part of the campaign to secure
Justice for these men:
If a labor day celebration or pa
rade is held in your city this year,
will you call attention to the con-
tinued incarceration of Mooney and
Billings through the medium of some
stration-floats, banners and
the like? If demonstration is held,
Will you endeavor to secure publicity
for the same in the daily papers and
forward US photos of the banners,
floats, ETC., for our use?
Thanking you in advance for your
favorable consideration and trusting
that you will join with US in the
final drive for the freedom of Moon
ey and Billings, remain,
Fraternally yuurs,
RENA MOONEY,
Secretary Treasurer.

The Executive Council of tho
American Federation of Labor adj
dresses this appeal to all organized
labor throughout America in behalf
of the organizations in the Railway
Department whose members are now
on strike to resist the imposition OF
unfair terms and conditions of EN-
ployment.
The struggle in which these work
crs are involved is one which IS i'm
portant not only to themselves and
to their organization but to all or
ganized workers and to all Ameri-
cans who love justice and fair deal
ing.
An injustice can not be inflicted
upon the railroad workers without
leaving its mark of shame upon the
record of our whole industrial life.
1t is essential to the well-being of
the man on strike, to the well-being
of all workers and to the well-being
of our national industrial organiza-
ton that justice shall prevail in the
struggle now going on in the rail
road industry.
1t must be clear to all wage earn
ers and to all thinking men and
women that the policy which has
been pursued by the railroads has
been entirely in harmony with the
policies of all organizations of en-
ployers which, since the Armistice,
have been seeking to weaken and de-
stroy the voluntary organizations of
workers. The railroads have been
engaged in this effort from the mo-
ment government control was re-
linquished on March /, 1920
For two and half years the rail
road workers now on strike made
every possible effort to cooperate
with the railroad labor board in or
der to give the law every possible
trial and to secure if possible just
conditions for the workers and con-
tinuous operation of the roads.
No amount Of conscientious effort
and forbearance on the part of the
workers, however, could overcome
the attitude and the policies die
tated by the small but powerful
group of bankers who control the
finance of the railroads and who
have compelled the adoption by the
railroads Of a policy of bitter antag-
