OLD OFFICE HOLDERS
Berry Slated for Adjutant-
General and Van Nance
for Secretary.
E. J. WALSH CONSIDERED
MAY Head Public Works Again
and f. O. Green Is in Line
for Highways Job.

Alfred Z. Smith spent yesterday az
ternoon at his headquarters in the Hotel
Biltmore receiving callers. answering
correspondence and making tentative
plans for the distribution OF patronage
when he goes back to Albany as Gov
ernor.
With the Governor-elect was George
Van Nance. who was private secretary
TO Mr.. Smith during his first admins
tration and who was appointed a mem
Der of the Public Service Commission.
He went out Of office at the same time
Mr.. Smith left the Governorshlp two
years ago, and since that time has
passed most of his time in this city at
tending to legal interests. His home is
in Watertown. 1t was the opinion
around Smith headquarters that Mr.. Van
Nance again will be named secretary TO
the Governor.
II also appears TO be we'll established
that Brig-Gen. George w. Berry OF
Brooklyn. veteran OF the world war and
Adjutant- General of the State during
the first Smith administration. VIII
again be asked to take the Office OF
Adjutant- General. Mr.. Smith and Gen
Berry are close friends and political al
lies, and have been so for many years
Gen. Berry was with the 105th Infantry
OF the Twenty Division In the
war. The present Acknowledgement, j..
Leslie Kincaid. was Judge-Advocate OF
the Twenty Division.
II appears likely that Edward J.
Walsh will be returned to his former
position as Commissioner of Public
Works. To Tammany Hall, this office IS
important. for 1t has vast amount OF
patronage 10 be handed out. There are
hundreds of smaller jobs In the main
tenance and development of the canals
and other public works that are TO be
filled.
Frederick O. Green. VINO was High
way Commissioner under the first Smith
administration, probably will be re-
turned to his old job. Opposition has
developed TO him, however. among some
Tammany leaders who contend that In
the previous administration he was not
as considerate of the wishes of Four
teenth street as he might have been.

called the boiler room," and with u
bottle OF whisky and packet cigars
or cigarettes in front Of him begins to
call the names on his list, telling the
suckers that he has an excellent chance
to make a profitable stock investment
&C From time to time he refreshes
himself from the bottle, some of the
more industrious bucketeers even hav-
ing an extra man on hand to pour the
drinks and light the cigarettes.
There are now operating in New

than Dillon & Co" said Minton, and
more are being started every day.
Only recently. he said, he had turned

MASTER PLUMBERS
FEAR A BIG TIEUP
$50, 100000 in Building Pros
poets Reported Endangered
by Arrogant Labor.

Several hundred members OF The AS
sociatlon Of Master Plumbers met in
Terrace Garden yesterday to discuss the
unpromising condition OF the trade and
to arrive at some method by which the
exorbitant demands of labor could be
checked. The prediction was made that
unless the local unions lifted some Of
the restraints Imposed upon plumbing
labor, contracts for s5o.o00.000 worth Of
plumbing In 1928 would face tie-up.
An invitation was extended to Samuel
Untermyer to attend. but he was not pres
ent The Master Plumbers said that
Mr.. Untermyer had promised to break
UP the abuses of the local unions, which
Lockwood investigation, but that he had
failed to do so. Some Of the members
expressed the opinion that IL legal ac-
ton were taken against the unions the
cost of plumbing would be reduced by
80 to 40 per cent.
With the union wage scale at SO day,
the plumbers pointed out that through
an artificial shortage of labor main
tained by the unions they are forced to
pay $40 TO SIS day.
william Thompson, president OF the
association. pointed out the hardships
Of the last few years in the trade and
made the following prediction with
regard 10 building conditions In the
future:
"All indications point to the fact that
the coming year will be a great building
year. but II the same obstructive condl-
tp a
projected operations will fail TO matert-
alize because investors will refuse to
proceed. Architects and owners have so
expressed themselves. and those who are
In "A position to know realize the truth
OF this statement"
Conditions are serious" declared
Charles Murphy OF Wells e Newton.
MANY contractors are afraid to figure
on contracts. as they do not know when
they can finish a job on account Of the
labor situation"
One demand OF the union is that pipe
shall be cut by hand instead Of ma
chlnery. This IS one Of the principal
obstacles the plumbers have 10 contend
with, the members said. Machine cut
ting Is so per cent cheaper. II was
pointed out, and releases l5 60 20 per
cent OF labor that can be used else
where. They contend also that the pipe
can be cut more accurately oy ma
chincry
The refusal OF the union 20 permit
each journeyfnan plumber to have
helper is another grievance. The Mas
ter Plumbers say helpers would decrease
the cost Of construction from 5 to 10
per cent and increase the amount Of
labor available.
The situation as viewed from the
Master Plumbers standpoint was sum-
married In the call to the meeting as
follows:
conditions in the trade. such as one
helper to two mechanics. the cutting of
pipe on the Job instead OF using machine
power IN the shop. and other trade I'm
references have made 1t practically Inn
possible for any individual or firm to
