CHANGE TO BE MADE
j IN U. S. FIGHT ON RUM
j Bureau to Bo Under T)ppt. of
| Justice; Assistant Attorney
General in Charge.
Special Dixfatch to Tub New Yobk Ilrourn.
Fort Pierce, 11a., March 13.?While
| a special force under Col. L. G. Nutt.
acting chief of general prohibition
agents of the Treasury Department, was
engaged In an effort to stop liquor
amuggline alon=: the southern Florida
coast, two announcements were made
here to-day which may lead to Impor
tant developments in the enforcement
progra m.
It was made pin in to a correspendent
of TiiE New York Herai.d that the Ad
ministration intends, in its new plan of
departmental reorganization, to make
"practical, pronounced and positive ef
fort to enforce the. prohibition law." And
the Administration Is equally deter
mined that the Anti-Saloon League must
' not be allowed to continue its domina
tion of the enforcement headquarters.
As a part of the reorganization, which
contemplates the transfer of thp prohi
bition enforcement unit from the Treas
ury Department to the Department of
Justice, it will be recommended to the
President that, a new Assistant Attor
ney-General be provided to take charge
of that work. The President is in sym
pathy with the plan.
Hoy C. Haynes, the present Prohibi
tion Commissioner, will not necessarily
be separated from the service under the
new plan. But he Is not a lawyer, and
probably would be offered an executive
roslt'on under the new Assistant Attor
rey-General.
Another announcement was that in
structions had been sent to the Depart
ment of Justice to seize the British
steamship Orate and Ruby, which has
been lying just outside the three mile
limit off Boston and is understood to be
sending a tender Into American waters
with liquor.
The Grace and Ruby, according to in
formation, appeared off Borton with
about 2,000 cases of whisky, gin and
other contraband alcoholic beverages
on board. She is understood ostensibly
to be engaged in trade between Canada
and the British West Indies, but to he
really in the business of supplying
American liquor smugglers.
Prohibition enforcement in Florida is
a Joke to everybody here, a comical ijoke
to some and serious to the Government
officials who are responsible. There i.?
liquor everywhere. It is n.s easy to get
it in any hotel room of Jacksonville and
Key West as it Is to get a bottle of gin
ger ale, often easier, because the soft
drink stores and hotel supplies arc
locked up about midnight, while the
bootleggers are open for business all
night.
21,000 Shoe Workers Get
a 10 Per Cent. Wage Cut
BOSTON, March 13.?A reduc
tion of 10 per cent, in wages
of employees of *hoe fac
tories in Brockton and tho south
shore district was ordered by the
State Board of Conciliation and Ar
bitration to-night. The decision
affects forty-four factories, employ
ing about 21,000 workers.
The manufacturers had proposed
a 20 per cent, reduction. The case
was referred to the State board
two months ago under an arbitra
tion agreement.
In its decision the board speci
fies that "where tho day rate of
wages is $11 a week or less there
is to be no reduction, and no reduc
tion shall bring the rate of wage
below $11 a week." It adds that in
a few instances extra prices allowed
for special operations have been
made uniform.

BAND FOR BUSINESS
UNDER GOLDEN RULE
At All Christian Unity Meet
ings Chair Is Reserved for
Christ, Unseen Guest.
Kansas Citt, Mo., March 13.?With
the object of promoting the practice of
"the Golden Rule in all commercial re
lations between ourselves and all men"
the Business Men's Christian Unity is
organizing on a na'ional scale and now
has branches In twenty large cities.
With no dues or assessments and the
bond of membership tin acceptance of
a business creed that "we are1 banded
together to lielp one another In all ways,
but especially to realize that God Is the
source of all our prosper'.'.y and that we
must, in the end. all .iemonstrate His
laws In our affairs," the scope of the
association Is declared to be "the com
mercial relations of the whole world."
"Ixivlng service shall >e the keynote
of our commercial ambition, rather than
personal gain," says the preamble of the
organization, which has associations in
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia. Balti
more, Washington, St. Louis. Spokane,
Lincoln, Neb.; Tulsa and Pawhuska,
Okla.; Sioux City, Seattle, Los Angeles.
Oakland, Denver and Kansas City.
Others are forming.
The declarations of the Kansas City
association, similar to those used in
other cities, follow :
"The object of this association shall
be to practice the Golden Rule in busi
ness. God's fundamental laws as taught
and demonstrated by Jesus Christ shall
be the foundation and rule of action of
this association.
"The primal aim and object stiall be
to search out and apply the laws of God
In all commercial relations between our
selves and all men. . ,i
"The scope of this association shall be
the commercial relations of the whole
world, to the end that uniform pros
perity, efficiency, equity, nonesty, jus
tice and fair dealing shall be estab
lished everywhere and In every relation
of life.
"Loving service shall be the ktyifote
of our commercial ambition, rather than
personal gain.
"We are banded together to help one
another in all ways, but especially to
realize that God Is the source of ^11 our
prosperity and that we must. In the end,
all demonstrate His laws In our affairs.
"All members agree to make the
Golden Rule, 'Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you,' funda
mental in their relations with one
another and with all people.
"The teaching of Jesus, as given in
the New Testament and as revealed by
the Spirit of Truth promised by Jesus.
'When He, the Spirit 'of Truth, is come.
He shall guide you into all the truth,'
shall be our guiding light.
"In all meetings of this association
a chair shall be rese-ved for Jesus
Christ, 'the Unseen Guest," whom we
acknowledge to be the directive head of
our work.
"In all cases where the rule of action
is In doubt, the matter snail be submit
ted in prayer to the Holy Spirit with
the central thought, 'What would Jesus

News reports have previously carried
announcements that the A. Nash Manu
facturing Company of Cincinnati and
the Amedlcan Cast iron Pipe Company
of Atlanta had adopted the Golden Rule
and the teachings of Jesus Christ as the
guiding rule in their business dealings
with other commercial houses and with
their employees und had mtde a signal
success even in dull times.

'CAVE MAN' STATUE
JARS HYLAN NERVES
Continued from First Puge.
tograph of this rough performance gen
tleman tagged "Ctvlo Virtue" kicking
lady entitled "Vice" in the short ribs or
thereabout; and the Mayor expressed,
it is said, positive disapproval, asking
it the same time what the womenfolk of
the present would think of such outworn
symbolism.
Tt is said, too, that Hylan inqulrod If
there was any way of preventing the
'?rection of the statue, and that he was
informed by experts that there was no
way, the statue having been paid for out
of private funds bequeathed for the pur
pose and ordered and several times ap
proved by the Municipal Art Commis
sion. Whereupon (still according to ru
mor) the Mayor sniffed him some sniffs
and nodded sagaciously.
The brothers PlccIriVli, who hewed the
1 wife beater out of a bigger chunk of
marble than even Michael Angelo ever
. tackled?ho tho Plccirillls maintain,
anyway~f ?'d yesterday the great figure
Is about <-ileted and that within a
week or ten aays at most they expect to
have It set in place upon the fountain
: pedestal. Just over the gVinning, gaping
| dolphins.
"So sorry the Mayor doesn't like It. If
he doesn't," said one of tho brothers
Plcclrilli. " 'Frald it can't bo helped,
though. Up she goes when we are
ready. As for the ladies, God bless 'em,
they should know we are not casting as
paragus upon their new won riglUs. This
Is art, romantic art, sheer symbolism.
"The whole work is composed of two
figures of sirens, the flgrure of the virtu
ous youth and four heads of dolphins.
The figure of the youth is fifteen feet
high, and when mounted will stand
twenty-six feet above the park. It 1?;
cut from a block of Georgia marble !
which weighed fifty-five tons and is the j
biggest piece of marble ever chiseled
for a single figure."
Naturally, word of this anachronism
In marble was not long In getting about
among the champions of New York's
new women. Miss Mary Garrett Hay,
for example, who !s chairman of the
New York City league of Women
Voters, wanted to know by what right
MacMonnles and the city fathers rep
resented civic virtue as a man, espe
cially a great big, rough fellow with a
club who treads upon fallen females.
"I haven't seen tho statue or even a
picture of It." Miss Hay said, "but If It
is as has been represented to me then
I think It Is at least a trifle ridiculous.
Tossibly the true symbolism lies In the
fact that Civic Virtue Is depicted as
naked. That strikes one as reasonable
after thinking about what clvio virtue
has had to undergo from the politicians
for more than a century down there at
the City Hall. No wonder the poor
thing hasn't any clothes.
"Seriously, though, why should Mac
Monnles have used a male figure
trampling down tempting women? Why
not represent civic virtue as a man and
woman, hand in hand, mounting confi
dently and happily a difficult path?
That would bo my Idea of It. However,

I shall not lead any armies to the City

needs amusement."
Mra. James Lees Laldlaw entirely
agreed with Miss Hay, saying that
cither the heroic figure of a noble
woman should have stood for civic vir
tue in the sculptor's imagination or else
there should ha\" been a pair of figures,
man and woman, advancing hand in
hand.
"I scarcely believe that anybody
would attempt nowadays to put into
marble imagery *uch an idea as Mac
Monnles has represented," Mrs. Laldlaw
said. "The .spirit of the times, it seems
to me, Is against it. Women stand with
men. Hut the statue is really beautiful,
I think, and I can admire beauty with
| out considering its particular relation
to any belief or ism. Let it go at that."

SAW-KILL FURNITURE
Made by modern methods to conform to old-fashioned ideals
GOOD FURNITURE differs from many of the other utilities and adornments used
to make the home, in that it is, or should be, bought for life. The owners may
change houses, but their furniture goes with theib- It is the environment they
choose for themselves; it is everything most essential except their roof. In har
mony with the need, good furniture should be honest as well as beautiful. It should
be made for life and for lives afterward. It should satisfy the eye, because of its
enduring excellence of style which change of fashion cannot affect, and stand the
test of experience. And good furniture deserves a good name.
THE SAW-KILL FURNITURE OF W. & J. SLOANE IS MADE BY SKILLED
CRAFTSMEN IN THE FACTORY ON SEVENTY-SECOND STREET, NEW
YORK, NEAR THE MOUTH OF THE OLD SAW-KILL, a stream whose once
romantic banks bore memories of Governor Andros, of the Lawrences, the Rikers,
the Schcrmerhorns, the Buchanans, the Livingstons, names that suggest the pic
turestpieness'and the dignity of old New York.
(rood oak grew there, stout planks were sawed, cotton was woven and leather
made. The double tradition of good workmanship'and historical association which
good furniture requires, inheres in the name Saw-Kill.
The modern furniture is worthy of the old name. It has dignity, excellence,
and the durable beauty which comes from a well-studied tradition. At a moderate
price it provides the sound art and practical utility which have distinguished the
best furniture in every good period. It is made for more than one generation.
