More Pay for Teachers
Opposed by Realty Men
Measure Will Cause Rent Ad?
vance That Will Absorb In?
crease, They Contend
ALBANY, ?May S.?-Arguments that
New York City could not afford to give
its teachers more pay were called ab?
surd by John H. Kiniey, State Commis?
sioner of Education, to-day at a hear?
ing on a bill to increase the pay of
New York City teachers.
"Iq five minutes enough automobiles
pass Fifth Avenue and Forty-second
Street to pay the bill. If you sign
this measure you will have done more
for tho cause of popular education than
has been done in this nation for fifty
years," he told the Governor.
The bill carries an appropriation of
i $5,300,000 to pay the. state's ,8hare of
the cost. It was asserted by real es?
tato interests which opposed the meas?
ure that the cost would be $12,000,000
to New York City. "Further burdens
?on real estate, of which this bill is one,"
said Dr. Henry W. Bird, representing
the United Real Estate Owners' Aano
! ciation, "will prevent future building.
j The increased rent which a teacher will
have to pay absorbs the increase in
salary."

War4 Dry "Law
Internal Revenue Head Not
Sure of Meaning of
Terni "Completion of
Demobilization of Army"
"Wet" Coup Is Expected
Setting of Date by Congress
May L cave Interval
Before Peace Prohibition
New York Tribune
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 8.?The ques?
tion has been raised as to whether the
possible ratification of the peace
treaty before July 1 would have any
bearing on the war-time prohibition
law. Daniel C. Roper, Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, said to-night
that although it was a war-time meas?
ure the act is not susceptible of any
other interpretation than that it be?
comes effective ?Tuly 1 and continues
until demobilization is completed.
There is nothing in the act that
hinges on the date of the signing of
peace. The fact that Congress cx>
pected that the war would still be in
progress on July 1 has nothing to do
with the precise verbiage of the law.
Being ? valid law it can be enforced
just as any other law.
Demobilization Vague
Although it is plain that war-time
prohibition will become effective July
1, Mr. Roper says, it is not plain when
it will cease to be operative, because
nobody knows when demobilization
will be completed, because there is no
way of defining demobilization. Demo?
bilization will bo over when the army
is back to a peace-time footing. But
nobody knows what a peace-time foot?
ing is.
The War Department has no inten?
tion of reducing the army to an ante?
bellum basis until compelled to do so
by act of Congress, and it can hold as
many . men as it wishes until four
months after "peace is signed. If it
stops short in its demobilization work
before the ante-bellum status is
reached, it can be maintained that de?
mobilization is not complete. Hence
Mr. Roper is ,of the opinion that until
Congress determines the new peace?
time footing of the army it will nc7 be
possible clearly to determine when de?
mobilization has been attained.
Congress May Fix Date
He is of the opinion that the admin- ;
istrative authorities., if called upon for
a decision, would havv? to hold that
war-time prohibition v,fould continue
until the army was down to a peace
footing of 175,000 men.

Men's Strike Here
?
Labor Division Represent?
ative Here to Strive for
Settlement; Recognition
of Union Is Demandeed
The railroad administration moved
yesterday to end the strike of ex?
pressmen by sending A. M. Banks, of
| the labor division from Washin?gton
! here to try to bring the striking em
: ployes and managers of the American
; Railway Express Company into agrec
; ment. Meanwhile the strike had spread
! to Long Island and Westchester points,
| paralyzing tho express business in
! Manhattan and Brooklyn.
According to Benjamin Muldrew,
i chairman of the strike committee,
6,000 men were out last night--a state
I ment not contradicted at the offices of
the company?and several thousand
more will quit this morning. At the
i company's offices in tho Grand Cen?
tral Terminal it was estimated that
j "half of the 11,000 men are now out
| for one reason or another?some on
strike, others because of no work and
still others through fear."
Mr. Banks saw Robert E. M. Cowic,
vice-president of the company, and
went over the situation with him in
detail. He is expected to see the strike
leaders at the headquarters, 781 Eighth
Avenue, this morning.
The strike of the men, which has
been brewing ever since the railroad
administration took over the American,
Adams, AVclls Fargo and Southern Ex?
press companies and formed the Amer?
ican Railway Express Company to hah
? die the business, has for its objects the
securing of a $25 a month increase in
I wages for all employes, recognition of
? unions, the eight-hour day, with tiiuc
and one-half for overtime, double pay
for holidays and Sundays, and one week
vacation each year. The demands are
retroactive to January 1.
Of the men on strike 4,000 are em?
ployed in New York City, about 1,500
on the New Jersey side of the Hudson
and the remainder in Westchester and
Long Island offices. The majority of
those out are drivers, helpers, stable
S men and platform workers. The men
j whom the union leaders expect to pull
j out to-day include the office forces,
I men employed in terminals and ma?
chinists and others engaged in re
! pair and maintenance work.
Because of the strike no packages
were received or delievred at the local
express offices yesterday. In the
suburbs, notably of Westchester, de?
liveries were being made, but de?
livery of goods offered at the offices
was not guaranteed. At the office of
the company in the Grand Central
Terminal Mr. Cowie expressed hope
that an early settlement would be
reached,
