POLICE EMPLOYEES
GET SHORTER DAY
Station Clerk and Signal Men
Placed on Eight-Hour
Basis This Week.

A long cherished desire of clerks in
charge of the signal work to be
placed on an eight-hour basis has
been realized, Maj. Daniel Sullivan,
superintendent of police. having made
the change, effective this week The
change, according to police officials,
was made to keep pace with the trend
toward sane and sensible working
hours for employees of the department
1t is the intention of police officials
to ask Congress to make provision for
additional drivers. in order that such
employees may be given the benefit of
an eight-hour employment. Under the
present law, however. provision is
made for only two drivers to each
precinct, and nothing can be done TO
assist them.
The question OF making the change
for the clerks and signal or wagon
men has been under advisement for
some time. Maj. Sullivan and mem
bers Of his staff, Inspectors Pratt,
Evans, Harrison and Shelby gave the
question every consideration. and
Commissioner James r. Oyster was
heartily in accord with the recon-
mendation.
Given Rest Periods.
Heretofore the night station clerk S
have performed fourteen hours serv-
ice each night, the day clerks service
being eight hours. The night clerks
were given every Sunday night off.
Wagon men also performed the long
service, and during the early morning
hours each was permitted a rest
period of four hours.
Under the new plan, it is stated,
there will be two men on duty in the
police station at all times after mid
night, except during such times as
the wagon men are out on calls. The
change involved the taking of eleven
men from street duty. Only a short
time ago the department took thirty
three emergency men from the sta
tions and put them on street duty,
and the latest move, il is explained.
still gives the city the benefit of ten
more street men than ii had a short
| time ago.
seek More Lieutenants.
1t is believed that Commissioner
Oyster and Maj. Sullivans next move
in the matter of improving conditions
will be to ask Congress to provide an
additional lieutenant in each precinct.
Because Of the long hours of such
officials X has been the custom for
them to retire about . or o'clock
each morning. leaving the police sta
tions with only one man on duty in
the offices. An increase in the number
of heutenants would give at least
two, and usually three, men available
! at all hours. Such change. it is
thought, would mean greatly i'm
proved efficiency in police work.

that existed before the world war.
with competition in armaments and

the long run, general war far worse
than the last" Viscount Grey of Fall

I'm the league of nations" he said.
I'VE have an instrument by which we
can reach a settlement preferable to
war. The real interest and securi-
ties of ourselves depends upon the
leagues policy being upheld. and in
that alone is to be found the pros
pect of future peace and security.
II trust there is enough public
opinion to uphold the league policy"
VisCount Grey said that the crisis
in foreign affairs was acute owing
to what had happened between Italy
and Greece and that so far as his
sympathy was concerned it was with
Italy. But the crisis which has de-
veloped. he added, has transcended
all sympathy. The real redress for
the wrong done Italy would be JUS
