UMNO WAGE IN NEW YORK
Bureau of Standards Fixes $1,200 as
Minimum Salary
By Aiaociatnl I'rcss.
Se w York, Nov. 20. —The Bureau
of .Standards of the Board ot' Kstrmate
which fixes ail salaries in municipal de
partments, has decided that $1,200 a
year is the living wage iu New York
City. In a report yesterday to the
Board of Aldermen, the Bureau stated
that the $1,200 a year salary is taken
as the basis for what is termed higher
and lower grades of work.
The report gives the results of work
of nearly a year and officially disap- j
proves of quick action in salary raises. |
By establishing a system of regular!
periodic increases based upon •length of
service and efficiency records in the low
er grades, and in the higher grades
upon length of service and efficiency
records it is estimated that a substan
tial equality in salaries will be brought
about in a period of seven or eight
years.
"Owing to conditions apparently in
herent in eit.v employment under civil
service restrictions," gays the report,
"it is necessary to paj' a compensation
of from ten to twenty per cent, higher
than that which is paid in private em
ployment."
The Patriot's Feed
"I think I will take a little fish,
waiter.'' *
"Yes, sir. Bluefish or whitefish, sir?"
"Bring me a little of each and also
a portion of red snapper. I'm nothing if
not patriotic."—Seattle Post-Intelli
gencer.
Where They Differed
"I always try to look at-everything
from both sides."
" Your wife tells a difforent story."
" Hour's thatt"
" She says you 'haven "t seen tfhe in

Mr. Maurer paid a high tribute to Dr.
John Price Jacksou, Commissioner of
Laibor and Industry, and his force, who
have contributed so largely in making
the department a success. The depart
ment, Mr. Maurer said, was one that
ought to be highly appreciated, and
the sincerity of its official is highly
commended by organized labor. Front
the Commissioner down to the lowest
department attache all are eager to
serve, and he hadn't a single criticism
to make. Mr. Maurer deplored the fact
that there are not enough deputy in

broader and more efficient lines, and
said that 50 men could not be expected
to do the work.

the Industrial Accidents Commission,
who gave hts views of what a working
men's compensation law should be. lie

ance fund for at least two years. F.
H. Walker, of Beaver Falls, represent
ing the manufacturers, maintained that
there Should be a State fund to be usod
in the payment of such compensations,
but this was opposed by Carl M. Han
son, of Now York, representing the
New York Commission Bureau, who said
a State fund could not be established.
Francis Feehan, member of the State
Industrial Accidents Commission, spoke
earnestly in the advocacy of an indus
trial accidents law, and remarked that
the next Legislature would be certain
to enact one of a satisfactory character
in view of the defeat of the one pro
posed in 1913.
Commissioner Jackson announced
that another conference will be held
next year in this city and expressed the
highest satisfaction at the success of
the one just closing. He asked that

LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
Continued From Flrat Pa**.
concentrate their energies at the pres
ent stage of tlie war toward dealing, if
possible, » crushing blow.to Russia.
Such fragmentary reports as were re
ceived to-day irom the eastern zone of
fighting showed that the German army
was Bull pressing the Russians back
through Russian Poland, over the same
battlefields across which the Russians
a few weeks ago were advancing vic
toriously. No clear explanation has
been made of the reversal in form of
opposing armies, although it has been
reported on several occasions that the
Germans wore sending thousands of
their finest troops from France and Bel
gium to the east.
The Russian war chiefs state that
their advance In east Prussia and Ga
licia continues, in spite of their admit
tea retreat in the center. German
j strategists believe that continued re
verses in Russian Poland would force
I the Russians to draw back their north-
I ern and southern armies.
German opinion admits of no doubt
as to the outcome of the war with Rus
sia. General Vcn Hindenburg, Ger
i many's populai hero of the fighting in
the east, is quoted as saying that Ger
many and Austria will win, although
outnumbered, because they have strong
; sr nerves and because their soldiers do
their own thinking, while Russian dis
cipline is "a mere blind and dull obedi
ence." '
Resides the possible withdrawal of
German troops for use against Russia,
there is another reason for the lull in
the fighting in the west. Cold, wet
weather has numbed and exhausted the
soldiers so that great physical effort is
almost out of the question. The
weather in Belgium is compared with
a black, windy December day on the
New England coast. The storm con
tinues and the waters of the North sea
flow through the locks at Nieuport,
which tho allies opened to flood the low
lands and hold back the German ad
vance.
Notwithstanding the extent of the
flooded area, the invaders hope to re
new their advance. Large numbers of
engineers are being sent to tho front,
and German ingenuity is to be put to
the test to provide a scientific method
of crossing the inundated country.
The outcoma of yesterday's naval
battle In the Black soa is still In doubt.
No fresh imormation was received to
reconcile the conflicting claims of Rus'
sia and Turkey, each of whom asserted
: that a hostile battleship had been dam
j aged seriously In the engagement.
NO FURTHER REPORTOKTHE
TURKISH FIRING INCIDENT
Washington, Nov'. 20.—< No further
report came to t'he State or Navy De
partments to-day on the firing 'by Turk
ish forts at Smyrna upon the launch of
the American cruiser Tennessee.
Officials were awaiting dispatches
from Ambassador Morgenthau or Cap
tain Det'ker and meanwhile maintained
their confident attitude t'hat ttie inci
dent would be explained satisfactorily
'by tflie Turkish government.

contributions to the Red Cross Euro
pean war relief. With a population of
GOO persons Dublin has subscribed sl.-

$41,000 IN JpAN FUNP
Philadelphia Committee Will Ship
$30,000 Worth of Food on the
Oru, Soon to Sail
(Special to the Star-Independent.)
Philadelphia, Nov. 20. —The Bel
gian Conunittoe for the Relief of des
titute Non-Combatants reported to-day
total receipts in excess of $41,000. Of
this amount SII,OOO was sent to tho
Belgian minister in Washington who
forwarded it to his country. This was
before the local committee was advis
ed by the American committee in Lon
don to send food instead of money.
The American committee for Bel
gian relief in Loudon consists of Am
bassador Waiter H. Page, Brand Whit
lock, Minister to Belgium, and Dr.
Henry Van Dyke, Minister to Holland.
This committee sent to the Philadel
phia committee a schedule of food
which it desired to bo sent according
to percentages therein given. The local
committee is now spending $30,000
for food according to the official sched
ule and this will be shipped on the
Orn. Only a few hundred dollars re
mains in the fund, but this and all
receipts up to the sailing of the Orn,
will be expended for food according
to schedule.
The committee is getting the most
favorable prices and not one cent of
the receipts will be used to pay any
expense in connection with raising or
spending the fund. Many contributions
have come from up the State and New
Jersey.
The committee once more appeals
for all the sums which the generous
public can spare to be sent to Charles
C. Harrison, Jr. & Company, treasurers,
Laftfyette building, Philadelphia, so
as to send all food possible on the Orn.
The committee will continue its
operations Uuriug the entire, winter
and will ship food regularly cither by
chartered steamers or by regular lines
as circumstances may determine. Up-
State committees which are buying
their own food arc requested to com
municate with tlie committee in Phila
delphia.

VERDICT NEAR IN
CITY DAMAGE SUIT
Continued From First Pane.
diet Sehlit/.er—and City Solicitor Dan
iel S. Seitz, for the City, to make bet
ter progress, but it appeared that the
'more the attorneys tried to hurry the
less speed they made.
Witness Went to Luncheon
Ten minutes before the time for noon
adjournment the Citv Solicitor an
nounced he had three witnesses yet to
call, but. none responded. They had
gone home for luncheon, presumably,
and Judge Johnson sought to close the
case. 80 did Mr. Ha in. The lawyer
lor the plaintiffs said he was willing to
admit just what the City Solicitor re
marked the witnesses would say.
''Their evidence would be cumula
tive,'' said Mir. Hain. "I will admit
What you say they would testify to."
"'I don't want you to admit any
thing, and I don't care what you will
admit,'' the Citv Solicitor. "I
want to put those witnesses on the
stand, and I insist upon my right."
"Then you shall have' it," added
Mr. Hain, smiling.
The City Solicitor by noon had ex
amined nineteen witnesses, the majority
of whom dealt with the values of the
plaintiffs' property before and after
the City took the ground in question
for making improvements. Generally
they valued each parcel 'before tho im
provement work at from $2,800 to
$3,200. The improvements included
the street opening, tho building of the
intercepting sewer and an additional
lateral sewer, tho construteion of the
river wall and step.; and the laying out
of the boulevard. After the improve
ments the value of each property, most
of the witnesses estimated, would be in
creased aobut S2OO. One witness
li.\ed the increase at SIOO, while an
other said there was no change in th»
valuation. The property owners eJaim
SI,OOO damages each.
The Questions Involved
Judge Johnson at noon said the i?
sue upon which the jury lirat will pas*
has dwindled down to a question of
whether or not the Citv, in opening
South Front street, actually took pnxp
erty from the plaintiffs, or, if the
ground wtw held by the plaintiff's
through a qualified title and by reason
of "waterways and navigation" legis
lation, they were not in aibsoluto con
trol of it, so that they could not suffer
lamages by losing it.
William I). Block and David H. El
linger, for more than fifteen years sani
tary officers employed by the city, this
morning declared the ground taken by
the city had been an old dumping
ground for tin cans, ashes, dead ani
mals, rubbish and other refuse, and that,
it had been considered a breeding spot
for much disease—typhoid fever, diph
theria and smallpox—in that district.
When the City Solicitor sought to
ask Mr. Block a hypothetical question
dealing with conditions along the river
front, between the time the Pennsylva
nia Reduction Company began the col
lection of garbage, about Ave years
ago, and May, 1911, when tho street
improvement work was begun, Mr.
llain objected to ''counsel leading the
witness.''
Lawyers in Fresh Wrangle
"1 have not overstepped my rights
one per cent, as much as you have,"
snapped back the City Solicitor.
With Mr. Kllingcr on tho stand, Mr.
Hain, on cross-examination, sought t«
know what the conditions along tho
river front would have been if tho city
had constructed a sewer in that local
ity "years before it did in 1911."
"That's folly to ask a question like
that," interjected the City Solicitor.
"Now I have not cross-examined
these witnesses as you did, and I insist
upon my rights," shot back the plain
tiffs' counsel.
"No, it's uot a legitimate question,"
put in tho Judge. "The witness need
not answer it."
Ten minutes later, Daniel Sheesley, a
real estate agent, who said he. lives in
"Sheesleytown," declared that tho
properties of the plaintiffs were bene
fitted t-o the extent of S2OO by th® im
provement.
Then Mr. Hain wanted the witness to
assume that the plaintiffs, before tho
street was opened, had a right to use
the ground taken by the city for any
purpose whatsoever, so long as they did
not interfere with "navigation and fish
cries." and having those ideas in mind,
fix his opinion of the property values;
but Mr. Sheesley would not fix an
amount. Be said: "I can't see w"hero
they could put any buildings."
Twice Mr. Hain asked the same ques
tion and received the same reply. Then
he put it to the witness the third time
saying: "Now I want you to be fair.
Don't be evasive."
The City Solicitor was on his feet.
Simultaneously Mr. Hain said:
Urges Seitz to "Keep Cool"
"There you go again."
"Oh, your honor," begged the So
lictor, "I object to that remark. There
certainly is reason for the other side
inferring that the witness is unfair."
"Keep cool now. Just you keep
cool," suggested Mr. Hain, waving a
hand toward Mr. Seitz.
The court urged counsel to "go on,"
saying:
"The witness is under oatk and wa
believe lie is trying to be fdrr."
Eventually Mr. Sheesley saiyl thu
ground in question had no, com mutual,
value.
