Bronx Zoo Director De?
mands Kaise for Worker?;
Brooklyn Seek? 1S Million
In submitting his estimate yester?
day for th? 1921 budget District At?
torney Edward Swann aeko for sub?
stantial increases for the thirty-nina
deputy assistant district attorneys on
hi? staff, declaring that their compen?
sation ?3 wholly inadoiiu?te.
"We now have a situation in tho
Criminal Courts Building," said the
District Attorney, "where some o? the
court attendants are receiving higher
aaliries than gome of the District At?
torney's professional assistants. There
are eleven deputy assistant district at?
torneys at 14,000 each, who are rflfeiv
jng les? compensation than the secre?
tarias to the judges before whom these
assistants daily arpear and try cases.
"In the proposed schedule the most
numerous trade and the lowest grade
is of the |3,000 grade, in which there
wou'd be fifteen deputy assistants.
Many of these men are now receiving
only $2,400, some of them $2,880. It
Would seem to require no argument to
convince any one that a lawyer who is
a rr.ember o? tne District Attorney's
professional staff should, under present
conditions, receive at least $3,000. It
will be noted that this is the minimum
salary paid to the professional staff in
the Corporation Counsel's office.
Highest Grade Fixed at $7,300
'it is proposed that the highest
grade among the deputy assistants
shall be the $7.000 trrade. In that
grade shall be placed eleven of the men
whose compensation now is between
$4,000 and $3,000. Those deputy As?
sistants are performing duties similar
to those performed by the statutory
assistants, and I strongly urtre tho
adoption of the salaries scheduled
above."
The salaries of the deputy assist?
ants are fixed arbitrarily by the Board
of Estimate. There ?ire fourteen stat?
utory assistants, so railed because
their number and compensation ha.i
been fixed by the Legislature. The
law fixes the pay of the first statutory
assistant at $12 000, seven of the
others at $10.000 each, and six at
$7,500. The District Attorney points
out that the salaries and grades of
the deputy assistants have b^en prac?
tically unchanged for twenty years.
There are fifty-three assistants, all
told, on the stafi.
District Attorney Swann requests a
total of $743,924 for the operation of
his department for the coming year.
Of this pmount $649.224 is for per?
sonal service. For this year he was
allowed $584,821.
Zo? Director Asks Increase
In presenting his estimate for 1921
Dr. W. T. Hornada;,-. Director of the
Bronx Zoological Bark, uses some plain
language. He requests a departmental
total of $351,306, as against $237,930
allowed this year. .
"Once again 1 ask all the members
of the Board ?:?{ Estimate," ays. Dr.
Hornaday, "to try and renlize th.it there
is no educational or recreational msti- :
tution in the entire list of such estab
Bailments so difficult or so burch nsome
to care for from day to day as a large
zoological park. The demands of living
animals are constant and inoxorabl-.
"In presenting tris budget, two facts
stand forth with painful distinctness:
First, we positively must have an in?
crease of $?1,245 for thi purchase of
food, fuel and general supp?es. Far
several years this necessity has been
shoved aside by us for the purpose of
securing more wajos for o^r financially
burdened and harassed working people
Now, our increase in animals tu be fed,
and the enormous increase in the cost
of food, fuel, iron, steel, wood and
paint, render an increase of $21,245 ab
Bolutely imperative.
Says Officials Are Handicapped
"Second, the other condition to be
met is the equalization of the pay of
our officers and men with the pay of
men employees in equivalent occupa?
tions in other New York institutions.!
Three times I havp addressed the board j
and its budget committee on this sub- i
ject. On August i), li'liO, Curator Dit-]
mars, witn the approval of the society,
appeared before you and staled the case i
of the park officers. Up to date every
horizontal increase has left our men ;
fully 20 per cent behind the procession ;
and" still handicapped and irritated by !
that lack of even-handed justice and (
equity.
"In view of all that we have done for ?
New York City over and above our
routine duty; in view of what we have
accomplished.and in view of the maxi?
mum wear and tear on the human ma?
chine, why should we any longer be
pinahzed by the lowest wage and why
ihould I any longer be kept lighting
to maintain the old spirit and the old
esprit de corps in the Zoological Bark
force under a fearful handicap?
"Why should the curators and simi?
lar officers in the park? be kept down
to $3,250 a year, when curators in the
two museums receive from $4,500 to
$6,000 a year? As an academic query,
why should the director of the Zoolog?
ical Park be paid $?,000 a y?ar while
another director, with a far easier job,
receives $11,000? For the fourth time
we ask for an increase in our salary
allowance, sufficient to satisfactorily
equalize our officers and men with
ether citjr employees occupying similar
po.-.itions. The amount necessary to do
tins is $4f>.0l?." ?
Brooklyn Wants $15,000,000
The Department of Pa.ks, Bronx, rc
qucsts a total of $1,076,151, of which
liOH.is:; is for personal service. This
y*ar the department, received a total

$:,C(57,o;3, of which $-?.S5,003 is for per

(he total nppropiution requested is

wan allowed for his department thi?

crease is accounted tor chiefly i'i the

1918 Crops in Granaries
Mills Forced to Increase
Wages Until Many Face
the ' Necessity of Closing
By George E. Hyde
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 10.?Transpor?
tation difficulties, coupled with labor
troubles, are threatening Mexican in?
dustry with complete paralysis. Dur?
ing the past ten years the railway
lines have been brought to a state
where it in impossible for the system
to handle the business required of it.
Many thousands of freight cars have
been burned on the sidings and roany
more have become useless through lack
of repairs.
Engines have been dumped in the
j ditch, and the shops are full of loco?
motives which have been partly dis- ;
j mantled to sujply needed parts for
, the few which are kept running.
One of the ironical tricks of fate
has placed in control of the railway
system at tho present time some of
the very men who, while revslution
ists, assisted in the destruction of so
much of the rolling stock which they
now need.
Tho financial condition of the gov?
ernment mnkes it virtually Impossible
i for the needed material to be secured
I nt present even if it were for sale.
! Reports have beep circulated during
: the past few weeks that a credit to
! be used in the rehabilitation of tho
! linos had been arranged in New York,
I but. this has been denied by President
' de la Huerta.
There are parts of Mexico where the
; crops of 1918 are still in the pranaries,
while there are others which do not
1 produce cereals where the price of
i these necessaries is almost prohivitive.
' The cotton situation also is seriously
affected by the transportation situa
| tiun. Practically all of the cotton is
j grown in the Northern states, while
; the spinning mills are in the more
? thickly populated states of the central
' highland.
Lack of transportation has made it
| cheaper for tho manufacturers to se
1 cure their cotton in foreign markets
i and to ullow the native cotton to be
i sold in the United States, which is
i nearer to the fields.
Mexican labor has lost no time in
taking advantage of the friendly at?
titude of the present government and
I the past few months have seen a long
series of strikes in ail branches of
the industria! ::'>? of Hie rntii n.
In the face of government arbitra?
tion and the personal intovention of
? tue President, me munuiacuuvrs have
'? eon forced to raise wages to the point
where many manufacturers are faced
'? with the necessity of closing their
: m.lls.
' The situation ha? wor?<r>" luitopi"*
cally with the transportation problem
.u.- the prime factor, ihe inabni:> of
manufacturers to get their tiojds to
market making it impossible for them
: to increase price.-, to meet increased
costs. There nppears to be no end

The acting Minister of ilu interior
has predicted unless effective remedial
legislation is f uhc ming in the near
future, to pyramiding process will
have br'uif-ht about an extremely seri?
ous crisis.
Conditions have been aggravated by
| high wages; in the United States and
the dfinv.t.d for un?kilusii labor in the
Southern states. Thousands of Mex?
ican la/or-rs have left thi country and
docked to i.ie cotton fields of the

Miguel Alonso Romero, representing
one of the districts of Yucatan in the
Chamber of Deputies, is authority for
the statement that a, .wholesale serjes
of murders have been, MJnuSftted the1??,
all of which are laid at the door of
the Socialist party, which dominates
tha atate. His isumiifary ???.j-ecesit

Murder of thirty-seven men, woman
and children at Munucma at the hands
of a band led by Pio Chuc.
Death of seventeen persons in Chac
ainkin at the hands of Elias Riv?ro,
who calls himself a Socialist.
Beheading of several political op?
ponents in Kantunil. "
Burning of several houses and the
killing of three men in Kinchil at the

Kocchel, Sinanc.he, Acaiiceh, Tibolom,
Oxcutzcab, Tehuitz,, ' Tixpehual, Ca
calchen, Papacal, Chicho and' several
other towns of minor importance.
Charges hove been ?lado that "mur?
der centers" similar to those reported
in Germany during the Spartacide up?
risings have been instituted in Yuca?
tan, but government officials state that
nothing which has Been reported to
them supports this rumor.
It Is impossible from dntn at hand
to state to what extent the situation
in Yucatan is political and to what ex?
tent interwoven with the industrial
crisis through which the peninsula has
been passing for several months. The |
state is inaccessible to the rest of the
country except by water and for many
years ha? developed along linos of its ?
own, withou much reference to the
central and northern states of the |
republic.
Daring recent years it has Bide so
?effort to ?apply itself witJKhe neceaseis
.ties of life from ita own ilelds,..and
has depended on the outside world for
such staples an flour and even eggs.
The principal product of the penin?
sula is henequ?n fiber, known to the
trade as sisal. An effort was made ,$>
build up a monopoly of; this" pradu?i,
but the venture failed, leaving the in?
dustry in e state of banfc?uptey. SerJ
eus charges bave been mad* against
various public officiais for re*pon?tfl?~
Ity for this financial crash, bat re?
sponsibility for it has nevar been
fixed.
During recent months the decline in
the price of this product has been auch
as' to throw thousands of men out of
work and has created so serious a
crisis as to bring about a decision on
the part of the government to give
free transportation to laborer's to other
parts of tht> country whare they are
needed.
This solution is not expected to be
successful except as a temporary meas?
ure. The Mexican docs not like to be?
taken away from his own part of the
country, and the Indian of Yucatan is
particularly adverse to such transplan?
tation. He is different ethnically from
the Indian of the northern and cen?
tral states and has little use for them.
