School Expenditure. Question on Police Tele-
phones Brought Up.

sufficient and he further stated that
he thought that the City Council
should be asked before any telephon-
es were installed for the use of the
officers.
Mr.. Stevenson reminded Mr.. Dom
aldson that the City Council was not
called upon in the Cooper Street I'M
provement which involved an expen-
diture of $4,000.
Councilman Woertz reminded Mr..
Donaldson that the telephones could
not be taken out that night and sug-
gested that Council proceed with the
reading Of the bills.
Mr.. Woertz then moved that the
City Clerk be instructed to commun-
icate with Salem, N. j. manufac-
turing concern relative to securing
demonstration of traffic light, such
as is now in operation at Riverside.
This light is one of the latest style
lights on the market and is noticeable
for blocks away, 1t is governed by
an electric motor which flashes red
and green light, together with the
words GO" and Stop at " minute
intervals. The cost of this hight is
approximately $4,000.
Mr.. Stevenson said that this was
too much money for this sort of
light and also that this particular
device is not standard equipment as
the city Of Philadelphia do not use
them.
Mr.. Woertz then asked Mr.. Steven
son if any protection was to be given
at Five Points, and he was assured
that there would be, but the nature
of the protection was not given. Mr..
Woertz's motion was lost
On motion of Mr.. Woertz the Clerk
read an application for bids on En-
gineering services for the Construc-
ton of Sidewalks and Curbs, which
was ordered published according to
law in the Beverly Banner.
Mr.. Woertz moved that when they

done by the members of the order.

POLICE COMMITTEE HEARING ON OFFICER
bud" STEVENS0NS CASE A BIG FARCE
Newspaper Reporters From Philadelphia, Camden
And Beverly Barred From Star Chamber Meet
ing. Public Indignation Runs High

/ ficer in question to roadhouse
for the purpose of getting a lit
tie ''schnapps" before closing time
and during the hours on duty. No
action has been taken heretofore and
the trial of Tuesday evening is gen
orally regarded as farce
While it might be the privilege of
the Police Committee to conduct their
meetings in private, yet in an affair
of this character the committee
would reasonably be expected to adj
NIT the public If they wished to play
fair and hear all of the evidence
procurable. They are being severely
scored for their high-handed meth
DDS. 1t is generally believed that the
outcome of the case would have been
different if everyone with knowledge
of the charges had been permitted to
testify.
The entire staff of the Beverly
Banner was present at the City Hall
at the time of the trial. as we'll as
reporters from Camden and Phila-
delphia. All were barred, although
attention was called to the fact that
the information was of a public ma
ture and it should be acceptable for
reporters to get the news first hand
The trial was conducted by the
Chief of Police Dillwyn Stevenson
and his Lieutenant, Howard Bot.
Members of Council had been asked
to be present and act as jury and
with one exception were all present.
Some little color and eclat was
added to the otherwise drat appear
ance of the other body of men by
the sparkling appearance of Council
man Brown. A futter was noticed
among the feminine part of the out
side crowd as he jauntily stepped up
attired in a natty costume with pure
white Knockers, and tastefully match
ed hose and tie.
After the charges were presented
constable was dispatched at regular
intervals to the outside door, there
to beckon in by name the prepared
list of witnesses which were compos-
ed almost entirely of the Beverly Po-
lice Ring. These proceeded to at
tempt to convince the jury of the
shocking injustice of accusing Officer
Stevenson of having ever thought of
touching intoxicating beverages.
The case was then closed and the
Police Committee asked Council to
decide whether the evidence present
ed would indicate any grounds for
believing Stevenson to have been
drunk on Saturday night.
The answer was obvious and the
Council went out wondering what
had happened They az peared to Re
dissatisfied and upon being interview
ed several expressed their scores in
no uncertain language.
1t is being predicted on all sides
that Council is preparing to take
some action in the matter expressing
themselves as greatly dissatisfied with
the muddle the Police Committee has
got into. The majority of City Coun-
tell are regarded as very capable men
and will not tolerate the wasting of
police funds much longer. They have
no desire to see Beverly made the
laughing stock Of the county by a
Jay police administration. Their ac-
ton is momentarily awaited by the
public.

CALLS FOR CONSERVATISM

There has been o good deal of con-
gratulatOry talk about the establish
ment of labor union banks. and it
sounded mighty good, but the FEEDER
alton of Labor Convention felt called
upon to sound a word of caution in
this connection. 1t agreed that there
was strong argument for these
| banks as long as they were we'll
guarded and conservatively conduct
ed, but loosely-managed institutions
that are disposed to loan the work
ers' money on sentiment rather than
safe security would invite calamity
! and do vast deal of harm to the
cause which fosters them. The Fed
Grafton MAKES an urgent plea that ac-
ton proceed only after a careful study
OF the situation, and that then the
lines of safety be carefully chosen.
In referring to investment COM
panieS, the Executive Council said:
This is a type of investment about
which we wish to warn the member
| ship of our organizations, for the rea-
son that the business of these securi-
ties, investment or holding companies
is not subject either to national or
state laws, and their policies are
therefore in the hands and control of
those operating the companies with
out any necessity for rendering Off
cial reports, or being subject to ex-
animation and regulation in the same
way that banks now have to follow
rules and regulations of either the
Federal or state governments.
Some of our central bodies have
already taken definite action with ref
erence to these securities, investment
and holding companies, and have
warned their unions and the rank and
file of their organizations to be ex-
ceedingly careful when approached
about such an investment.
"Too much care, time and atten-
tlon can not be given to the above
suggestions, for, after all, our union
must keep in mind that handling 9th
er peoples money is a sacred and pub
lie obligation"
There are those doubtless who will
conceive that labor union banks ought
TO loan money on union card or on
the resolution of a local organization.
but the banking business can not be
safely done in that way, and especi-
ally not when the funds involved are
the hard and slow savings of labor

Labor Makes Demands
In New York State

Albany, N. Y.-State and munici-
pal development of electric power
from state owned water resources and
government distribution at cost tC
homes, farms, and factories for light
heat and power are proposed by the
executive council of the New York
state federation of labor to Governor
AL Smith for consideration in his an
nual message to the legislature.
Free text books and medical, sur
gical and dental treatment and care
of all school children, with lunches at
quirements. Prohibition of the free
issue of injunctions in labor disputes
is asked in proposed amendment to
the civil code which would provide
full court hearings Of both sides be-
fore a jury. Injunctions are obtain
ed at present after a preliminary
hearing before one judge in the equity
court. The proposed amendment
would not do away with the possibil-
ity of injunctions against unions.
Five Of the amendments proposed
by the union officials to improve the
state Workmen's Compensation act
are the ones covering occupational
diseases so that the law will include
compensation for impaired health Of
workers due to benZol and coal tar
products used in industry, to tetrach-
lor-ethane and similar substances used
in dyeing and naphtha, benzine, gas
oline and other substitutes for tur-
pentine. Compensation for skin irri-
tations caused by work materials is
sought. The Workers Health bureau
prepared these amendments as part Of
its scientific service to trade unions.
Compensation for silcosis is urgently
asked.
Establishment of the state insur-
ance fund as the only form of insur-
ance for workers. compensation is
proposed. The eight-hour workday
and 48 hour week for employed wom-
en- and minors is demanded. Restora-
ton of the original penalty for viola
ton Of the eight hour day and pre-
vailing rate Of wages on public works
is asked. Extention of free state en-
ployment agencies and state licensing
and control of private agencies col
lecting fees is included in labor's pro-
gram. Amendment of the state mo-
nopoly law to declare that human lab
or is not a commodity or article of
commerce and that labor unions do
not come within its provisions is in
cluded.
The state federation takes stand
against movie and literary censor
ship, especially in reference to at
tempts to determine social and bio
logical material. Direct primary nom
ination of state officers, U. S. sena-
tors and state and district judges is
asked Ratification of the federal
child labor amendment by the legisla-
ture is part of the program proposed.

and began hiring colored girls to re-,
place their dissatisfied white girl
employees. This action was quickly
followed by the explosion Of two
bombs at the factory late on Satur-
day afternoon while several of the
girls were still at work. The place
was wrecked and number of the en-
ployes injured.
The Chicago daily newspapers blaz-
oned the story on their front pages
as "union labor outrage" and pub

Union Bomb Outrage
Story Is Exposed

Chicago-Another perfectly good

pletely ruined. Irving Shraiberg,
owner of non-union dress factory at
115 South Market street, this city,
has been formally charged with bomb
ing his factory in order to collect the
insurance. A charge Of malicious
mischief also has been placed against
Samuel Albin, friend of Shraiberg,
who is accused of planting the bomb.
Deputy State Fire Marshal McNally
discovered that Shraiberg and his
brother Norman carried $4,000 in
bomb, sprinkler and fire insurance on
their place, although the stock, he
said is worth no more than $4,000.
The Shraibergs recently cut the

Fake Stock Sales
Reported to Be Big

New York-A survey Of fake stock
sales throughout the country shows
that this loss will amount to Sc for
every man, woman and child in the
United States. The largest contlibu-
tors are mine and factory workers,
chiefly Of foreign birth. The highest
per capita loss Of any town or group
Of towns, $40, was reported by seven
adjoining towns in Pennsylvania.
Next to Michigan, Ohio and Indi-
ana, the industrial east-Pennsylvan-
