Fewer Men Seek Places on Police Force; More Resign As Result. Patrolmen Say, Standard of Recruits for Future Uniformed Men Can't Re Kept Up Salary Too Low To Be Attractive Rumor, Believed To Be Correct. Is That Enright Will Urge $1,800 One of the arguments to be em? ployed by the Patrolmen's Benefit As? sociation in its light for more money toT tne New York patrolmen is that the present rates of pay are not suf? ficiently attractive to make a position on the police force desirable. If that is true the standard of recruiting can? not be maintained. This touches the personnel of the future.

The patrolmen are asking tor an increase in pay from the present max? imum rate of $1,650 to a maximum of $2,000. A rumor, generally accept? ed as correct by the patrolmen, is that Commissioner Enright has recommend? ed an increase to $1,800: The 1920 budget, so far as increases are con closes October 20. What? ever act is taken must be taken by thai date. The patrolmen assertion that the present salary is not sufficient to make the job attractive will be sup? ported by a comparison of figures showing applications for positions the force received in pre? vious years with applications received r.irins" the present year; also by a com of the number of resigna? tions tendered during 1019 and the r.amber tendered during the years be? fore searing prices and increasing wees in industrial activities made the lot vif New York policeman so peculiarly unhappy. Why They Force Patrolmen leavejkhe force through five main channels: death, retirement ou penfion, dismissal, retirement be v- eal disability or by res Under the head of resigna r.n llei the patrolmen who the i because i hev find some hingnu re attractive elsewhere.

When patrolman resigns it means that he ind a i ter job. uring 1914, L915 and 1916, 802 patrolmen were withdrawn from the force. Of these resigned. The fig? ures are divided after this fashion: Total Reslg ri tirements. nat 191S.

In 1916, therefore, there were but i ro men of New York's ound hey could do better, ngi considered, out of the police force than could within it. But from Jan 1 to August 15, 19, i05 patrolmen resigned. In 1 oik half months of 19 more than ptr cent more patrolmen found nenuelves able to do better off the force, than was the case in the whole -month period of 1916. Number Who Kesign Increases In le figui es available foi 1919 an tendency toward is found the year progresses. tiy months the figures are as follows: pril June July August I to 15th Tota! i for 71a months More patrolmen have resigned in i and one-half months of I'M'1 than gned in till of 1915 and 1916 to? gether.

this showing of patrolmen who have resigned luring the current yeai Las a forceful significance, the figures dealing with the applications for new men are equally impressive, from the patn en's point view. Applicants for positions on the police force are obliged to pass severe phys? ical tests a preliminary, and a men? tal test later, fclxaminations are com? monly held annually, but this is a fixed rule, and in some years there have beer two examinations, while in others The percentage of suc? cessful candidates varies, but is seldom higher than per cent of the total lumber of applications. Most of the fail to nass the Dhvsical tests. Same Figures on Recruits In 1913 two examinations were held, brought out total of 0,598 ap? plicants, of whom f.JTt were finally There was no farther exam? ination nt 11 1916, when 4,140 men ap plied and 1,077 were passed. One year later the number of applicants was 2,587, Tin were accepted.

There was no examination in 1918, so that this year's figures should show a cumulative effect clue to the suspen? sion nt examinations last year. These the V.M.' statistics: applications received. 952 Total men accepted 385 The re-nit- of the tests have not yet oeen offic ally announced, but the ei mate given above was made by munici? pal officials in a position to know. This year's crop of patrolmen the smallest twenty years. This year's crop of resignations, if Ine present ratio is maintained, will op the largest in the ten years for which statistics are available.

tion of common justice." Mr. Moran said. "We believe the public is satis? fied that $2,000 a year will be only a fair rate for the patrolmen to get in 1020. We are confident that we can demonstrate that conditions exist which make it impossible for a patrol? man to live on less, and it is upon this issue that we shall make our fight." The Uniformed Firemen's Associa? tion will submit its case to the Board of Estimate, regardless of any action taken by Fire Commissioner Drennan, President Guinness said. Sept, 15 Strike Date, Say Street Cleaners The 7,000 employes of the Street Cleaning Department will be on strike in New York and Brooklyn by Septem? ber 15 unless their demands for in? creases in wages aggregating nearly 100 per cent are granted by that date.

it was declared yesterday by James Anderson, organisier for the street cleaners in the Broixx and Manhattan. The street cleaning employes, who are affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Mr. Ander? son -aid, are determined that their demands shall be heard. "We have great trouble in keeping the men calm." lie contended. "They were promised by Commissioner Mc Stay, of the Department of Street Cleaning, that they would receive a raise by July 1.

Later the Commis? sioner postponed the increase to Sep? tember 1. When that date carao around we heard nothing from the Commissioner, the Mayor or the Board of Estimate. Mayor Hylan promised to arrange for a conference between our men and city officials last week. but we 'nave yet to hear from him about the matter. "How can a sweeper who gets $18.59 a week maintain a family in these days? Hundreds of children of our men went back to school yesterday shoeless and undernourished.

A driver fer the Street Cleaning Department gets a week, and out of this money he must supply his own equip? ment Mr. Anderson said the largest in? crease tue men in the Street Cleaning Department have receivd in recent years was one ci' 25 cents a day. This was granted under the itch el admin? istration. Civil Service Forum Opposes Strikes by Employes of City The Service Forum met last night in the Police Club, Riverside adopted resolutions express? ing disapproval of the strike as a weapon to be used by Civil Service pioyi i get more pay. "Kcsoived." the resolution reads, "That as far as this body is concerned, it opposed to strikes on the part of Civil Service employes or on the part of organizations represented in it." Frank president of the Forim Joseph Courtney, president of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Associa? tion, and Captain John P.

Waldron, of the Fire ins' Association, all spoke against strikes by city employes. "We are for the people of this city," said Mr. Priai. "If we strike, we strike against them. We 'nave other means of securing our ends." Cleveland Moffett To Rim Crusade on Rent Profiteers Refuses lo Pay Increase Asked by Landlord, and Says He Will Prove Tac? tics Breed Race Riots Cleveland Moffett, following a hear? ing yesterday before the Mayor's Com? mittee, declined to meet the rent in? creado demanded of him by the Welles bourne Realty Company, owner of house at 153 East Fifty-sixth Street, and said he would move.

At the same time, Moffett declared war on rent profiteers and announced that he would inaugurate a campaign of publicity to show their tactics result in immorality and are breeding race riots. C. W. Cushier, agent for the realty company, had originally asked $2,600 a year for the house, an advance of $1,100. He was willing when the case opened at the hearing to compromise on $2,200, but this was refused by Mr.

Moffett. Near the end of the hearing Mr. Cushier said that he would accept $2,000, but Mr. Moffett again refused. When Mr.

Moffett told Walter S. Kennedy, who heard the case, that he would move out, he was told to pay monthly at the original rate of $1,500 a year until he got. out on October 1. Mr. Cushier demurred, saying that he was entitled to monthly rent at the rate of $2,200 a year, as Mr.

Moffett's lease bad expired in August. Mr. Kennedy asked Mr. Cushier what relation Mrs. Herbert.

A. Parsons, of 147 East Fifty-third Street, had to the Wellesbourne Realty Company, and was, told that she was a stockholder-. He was asked whether she was the owner, and replied that he did not know. Mr. Kennedy then announced that he would call Mrs.

Parsons to find out whether she was the owner, adjourned the case to next Tuesday and advised Mr. Moffett to pay his rent on the basis of $1,500 a yesr. Mr. Mofi'ett said he intended to make an investigation of rent profiteering in all parts of the city, and that he will prove that it leads to immorality be? cause of crowded conditions, and that race riots may be the result from the avarice of landlords, who are charging negroes from 25 to 50 per cent more rent than whites. He said that he would incorporate the result of his investigations in a magazine article.

The ease of the tenants of 854 Street, the Bronx, against the owneis of that house, J. Rigerman and Jacob Cohen, resulted in Harold Fleisher, their attorney, walking out, followed by his clients. Mi'. Kennedy advised the tenants not to pay their rents until the landlords came before the commit? tee again. In the Second District Municipal Court in the Bronx more than 150 landlord nnd tenant cases were on the calendar before Judge Michael J.

Scan lan. The courtroom was packed, ami the streets and corridors so crowded that reserves from the Morrisania police station were summoned. One case involved eighty families in a block of bouses from to 1140 Col lege Avenue. Increases in a year have amounted to the tenant? said, adding that they were willing to pay the latest increase demanded i i the landlord would assure them that there would be no further raise in rents This case is in the hands of the Mayor's Committee, nnd was adjourned to next Thursday.

After the ceremony Mrs. Turin. who lives at liegeman Street, Brooklyn, gave a party at Reiser's res? taurant, Roc ka way and Pitkin ave? nues. During dinner a couple not a members of the wedding party started dancing something which other son. Meyer, said resembled the shimmy.

Mrs. Turin objected not only to the dance, but to the faet that out? siders had been permitted in the restaurant. The restaurant manager retorted that the Turins had failed to pay for service. Thin a policeman ap? peared. He made for the bridegroom, but Meyer Turin interposed and was himself arrested.

Then sometning hap? pened to the policeman. He said Mrs. Turin landed a bard right on the point of his jaw. Any way, Mrs. Turin also was arrested, and with her son, Meyer, was held under SHOO bail yes? terday for hearing September Ifi in the New Jersey Avenue Police Court charge of having assaulted a po? liceman.

HEREAFTER Pierre Michel Bour dain, a fourteen-year-old French boy, who acted as interpreter for various divisions of the American army in France, will be Pierre Michel Murphy. The change in name follows the adoption of Pierre bv Arthur H. Murphy, of 143 Fast Thirty-ninth Street, who was a sergeant with the A. F. F.

Surrogate Cohalan yesterday signed the adoption papers. Pierre was great favorite with the officers and men of the American army. He made a great hit with Ser? geant Murphy. The boy's father is dead and his mother lives in Bordeaux. Mrs.

Bourdain is in poor circum rtances, and was unable to support her son, so when Murphy suggested that the lad come to the United States and bo his son the mother gave her consent, which she said would bo for Pierre's own advantage. Michel Murphy is now happy with his foster father and a widowed sister of Mr. Murphy. Briefs Knickerbocker Council. 221.

'Trudge Unwillingly To School' on Day? Their Hero Arrives' 800,000 Children Resume Studies; Increase in At-! tendance and Lack of Buildings Cause Part Time With the city arrayed in its best holiday attire, bunting wound around its pillars and flags hanging from its windows, 800,000 boys and girls turned i their steps reluctantly yesterday from the fair paths of holiday-time to the dark alleys waylaid with reading and writing and arithmetic. The fact that the idol of the youth- ful heart was proceeding triumphantly through the city streets and belated summer Tunbeams were making merry I on the made it doubly hard for the youngsters to turn again to their books.

However, there is an in- i ev liability abcut the ringing of the sjchool gxipg that even the most re- fractory youngster recognises. So while the welkin rang for I'ershing. junior York lined itself up with a plump, tanned tir, a starched and befrilled exterior and a zealously r.erubbed countenance.

Out of approximately S00, 000 children i0r000 art enrolled on the I part-time basis, or more than crvcr year's toral.

The increase in the high cchool registration is tcsti- i mated at 4.000, making a grand total of over 70.000. lncren.se on Esst Sirfe The lack of aeeammodittion mak- ing itself keenly felt. A alight in? crease over the usual number of new pupils entering primary grades is reported at Borne of the East Side schools. The failure of many parents to adopt the suggestion of the Board of Education officials that they register their children in advance resulted yes? terday in considerable confusion and i inconvenience. The public and parochial schools of Brooklyn opened with a Largely in- creased registration.

new i schools end annexes were ready for occupancy, so that seating capacity was adequate fo meet the demand. The curriculum for the coming term shows littl? variation from that of the last two years eicept for the introriue- lion of a comprehensive' course in civ? ics and democratic government, tie- signed to give the children a working knowledge of politics, and at the same time leave no room for the growth of Bolshevism.

Broadway at Ninth, New York. Store Hours, to 5.30. Good morning! This is September 91 The weather today will orobably be partly cloudy. "I Went Into a Store and No One Even Looked at or spoke to me," said a stranger. "What store was that?" was asked, and he said he would not tell; but worse, he went away and probably will never go there again.

This is our only remark upon this circumstance. The education of this store is to see that it has a welcoming look upon it that says, "Good Morning" and "Thank you for giving us the pleasure of seeing you." 9 Every visitor, gentleman and lady, is considered to have remem? bered cur frequently repeated in? vitation to come in and be at home. All our people are taught to not solicit or make any one uncom? fortable by attentions that might bore people. It is not always necessary to say to any one passing, "What can I do for you?" or "Can I show you any? thing?" until they come up to you and your attitude of readiness will show by your manner; and then make most polite and patient ef? fort to please the caller, whether be for information or for sales. Wherever possible, go with peo? ple or call for the aisle manager to send some one, if another part of the building is to be visited.

Put yourself and the store right always to your caller. Now, be careful to do this. Sept. 9, 1919. Proclamation! "I therefore call upon all in? habitants of the City of New York to display from their homes snrl places of business on the days of Gen.
