CHANGE OPPOSED BY MANY
x
V1
Members Owning Home Xear Sta
tion 'Where Detailed Now Il
sattefled Fand for Better
Wage Xot Prorlded.
Complete reorganization of the fire
department, changing the stations of
100 of the man. cutting- the salaries of
many and increasing others will result
from tbe Inauguration. January 1. of
the new sons system In the fire depart
ment. At a meeting of battalion chiefs of
tbe department with Mayor Albee yes
terday It was found that to work out
the plan many problems would be met
which likely would bring much dissat
. Ixfartion to the deDarttnent.
The main problem will concern the
Ka.la.rles of the men. Under the system
three sones are established, the first
where the salary will be 100 a month,
taking- in fire stations In the business
district: the second where salaries are
lower, taking In stations farther out.
ana the third where salaries are lowest,
taklner In stations on the outskirts.
Promotion from one zone to another
will be made on merit and length of
service.
To bring about the changes battalion
chiefs of the department have worked
out a general reorganisation, which
will mean that fully 200 men will be
shifted from their present posts to
others.
New Mea Ga la Third 7.ose.
New firemen will begin In the third
zone and work up to the first sone.
a here wages are highest and the work
Is hardest- After reaching the first
sone they may be placed in any other
zone on first zone pay as long as they
keep up efficient work.
In checking up the men It has been
found that many of those now entitled
to go Into the first sone are unwilling
to make the change, because they have
purchased homes near the stations In
which they are at present detailed. As
a result some of these men will be re
duced materially In salary because of
their unwillingness to take first zone
duty. This has caused considerable
dissatisfaction.
It hss ben found that, although pro
vision is made for Increases in the sal
aries of the men every six months until
they reach J100 a month, no provision
has been made in the rlty-s 1914 np-
oronriationx for these Increases, and it
is likely that the men will have to
serve a year before getting any In
crease I nrrenwe ot Provided.
Mayor Albee said yesterday that he
vould make an effort to see If the ad
ditional money could ntt be raised In
some was-. There will be many of the
men entitled to an Increase of IS a
mi'nth next June. The budget appro
priations do not provide for these In
creases. The Mayor rays that if the
money cannot be raised he will favor
ranttni? the men an increase of 110 a
month at the end of the year to those
who are entitled to a raise In June and
"another the first of January. 1916.
The same proposition applies to all
other departments of the city and Is
causing much complaint. While the
new efficiency system was adopted
making cuts in salaries, but providing
for Increases each six months, no pro
vision was made for the Increases by
the budget committee. It Is likely that
all the employes who have been expect
ing increases next June wlir have to
wait until six months after that.
ROOSTER SILENCER FOUND
Keep Head Down to Stop Crowing.
City Deputy Attorney Says.
After extensive research Into the
question of legislation to stop unnec
essary crowing of roosters in the city
during the wee hours of the morning,
Keputy City Attorney Myers has de
cided that it Is better to try to stop
the disturbances by physical process
rather than by law. Accordingly, he
has recommended that instead of try
ing to pass an anti-rooster ordinance
the City Council should take steps to
require the Installation or crow pre
venters In chicken coops.
Ha says he has found out that If a
board Is placed above the roost of a
rooster so that the bird cannot stretch
his neck, he cannot crow. Inasmuch
as It has been found that the roosters
remain on their perches while crow
ing early In the morning. Mr. Myers
says the disturbances ran be curbed
until the roosters fly down from thefr
roosts after daybreak. After that, he
says, there Is no need to prevent their
crowing.
JOBS ARE CRIME REMEDY
Seattle Mayor Recommends Fnnd to
Employ Idle Worldnf-men.
SEATTLE, Wash, Dec 8. Mayor
Cotterill today sent a message to the
City Council recommending an appro
priation of money to employ men to
remove eartn that has slid irora nui
sides Into streets. The purpose of the
emDlovment is to relieve distress
among Idle worklngmen. In his mes
sara the Mayor says:
"While nothing can justify any re
sort to burglary or robbery, and every
notice nower at our command will be
employed to prevent them. It la useless
to blind our eyes to the fact that the
recent marked Increase in these forms
nt rrlna Is due to the large number
of men In our midst who are without
employment, without resources and in
want.

Christmas will be held a day for
thanksgiving by a family on the East
Side, If only Its three members still
will have a roof over their heads, a
meal on the table and are able to "stick
together" for a little while longer.
Gray and bent, the mother, 7S years
old. came yesterday to tba Associated
Charities asking for belp.
"I am not able to do anything." she
said, "and my daughter Is to be taken
to the County Hospital soon. She Is
very 111 and there will have to be an
ODeration. Johnnie Isn't able to do
anything yet. either.
"Johnnie" Is a man about 30 years
old. the youngest of the three of tbe
family. Once he worked In the lumber
mills, and his mother and sister did
washing for the lumbermen. In this
war the little family was able to "stick
together for a time.
His Is Stricken.
Some months ago the man was taken
sick and sent to the County Hospital.
He has just been discharged, weak and
unable to work because of his long Ill
ness.
There Is no washing to be done since
the mill closed, and they came to the
city, and the Illness and other things
have eaten up all they had saed.
"We have stuck toegther for quite
while," said the old mother, "and we
want to stick together still while It is
possible. Times may be better when
Johnnie gets strong again."
This is not a single or unusual case.
Through the offices of the Associated
Charities passes dally one of the sad
dest processions In the world men
and women and children from the ranks
of those to whom fortune has been
most unkind. Many are In a state of
utter dispair; some still preserve.
among the asbea of their existence, th
sparks of hope and ambition to "hang
on a bit longer" and to "stick to
gether" until the face of fortune shall
be turned more kindly toward them.
Mora Tfcaa Sre Appeal.
More than a score of appeals, dif
faring In minor details, but all couched
in the language of desperate extremity,
ami to the Associated Charities only
vesterdav and from day to day the
story goes on.
It la lor th aid of Just such a
these that the Associated Charities Is
raising Its Christmas relief fund;
catching up the liberal spirit of holi
day grivlng that runs free In this sea
son, and turning It to the relief of
the poor, not for Christmas day alone,
but for the days of want that follow
the Christmas dsy.
The fund which was begun last week
has already reached a total of nearly
:I00 In cash contributions, besides
gifts of shoes and clothing, groceries,
fuel and other necessaries.
A pair of shoes alone is an item of
material importance In the work of
tbe Associated Charities. In the aver,
age month of the year, between 40 and
0 pairs of shoes are given out to the
people who come to the Associated
Charities for relief, and In the Winter
months the demands of this sort are
even heavier.

Mount Scott Improvement TRody Also
Opposes Stable Ordinance.
A resolution opposing the proposed
$200,000 In bonds for improvements In
the parks was adopted at the last
meeting of the Mount Scott Improve
ment Club. It was the opinion of the
members that the money should be
used to purchase additional tracts for
park purposes, while land is to be had
t low figure.
The club also expressed disfavor for
the stable ordinance, under Its present
form. The specifications calling for
cement floors. It was asserted, are un
necessary.
The Insanitary methods usea in ois-
posal of garbage In Mount Scott dis
trict were also complained of and hope
is expressed, that the City Commis
sion soon would see Its way clear to
sell the garbage collection bonds
authorised some year ago and get a
scientific system of collection under
way.

BOYS MAY G0T0 PRISON
Law Regarding Younj; Delinquents
Ponies Court Officials.
Juvenile Court officials still are at a
loss to know what Is the best disposi
tion to make of offenders between th
ages of 1 and 18 years. The law pro
vides that boys more than IS years old
shall not be received at the Reforma
tory School, and Judge Gatens and
Chief Probation OPlcer Mcintosh ar-
opposed to sending them to the Peni
tentiary, where they will be forced to
associate with older and more hardened
criminals.
In the hope of getting a favorable in
terpretation of what ho thought was a
conflict in the laws. Mr. Mcintosh wrote
to Attorney-General Crawford to learn
If delinquent boys more than 1 years
old might not be committed to tne state
Training School. Mr. Crawford. In a
letter received yesterday, said that thu
law was positive on that point, and
other disposition of the boys must ba
made.
