15 ReasonsWhy First Mortgages Guaranteed

by This Company Are the BestInvestment for Prudent People.

13.So shrewd ait accumulator

as the late Hetty Green usedto say that there was nothingequal to the steady earning ofinterest, that the way to getahead was to make sure thatyour principal was safe and gaccumulate the interest. B

The trouble with speculationis that, while you make profitsat times that are very pleasing,you make losses at other times,and In the long run, you aregenerally worse off than if youhad made neither, but had keptyour principal undisturbed andreceived regular interest pay¬ments on it.

It Is strange what a fascina¬tion there is in trying to buycheap and sell dear and howtame it seems to ntartv peoplerot to see their principal goingup or down, but only produc¬ing interest.

We haue guaranteed $700,000,000in the pad 27 years ana no in-cestor has tier lost a ¿ollar.

Straight 25 Per Cent Ad¬vance Rejected by Dele¬gates to Association Meet¬ing Held Despite Rebuffs

The municipal and county employesin a special meeting in the MunicipalBuilding last nicht unanimouslyadopted a resolution "humbly to peti¬tion the Board of Estimate" to increasethe salaries of all civil service em¬ployes.The scale adopted for presentation

in the petition was as. follows: Allemployes receiving less than $600 ayear to get an increase of $150. Allemployes receiving over $«i00 to begiven an increase of $420.The temporary president of the

meeting declared that under no cir¬cumstances would the association alhu¬ate with the American Federation ofLabor or any other organized labor or¬ganisation. "Neither will we go out onstrike," he added.The meeting was held under difflcul-

tic- owing to the Mayor's letter threat¬ening dismissal to "agitators withinthe city departments." At the outsetthe delegates found themselves with¬out the services of their president,George Stansfeld, and Secretary Sam¬uel Prager, for this reason. Puttwenty-eight, women delegates andtwenty-five men delegates were presentin the lobby of the .Municipal Buildingat the time called for the meeting.

.Meet With Another RebuffHero again they met with a rebuff.

The janitor of the building refused toallow them to occupy the room whichthey declared Borough Présidant Dow-ling had ordered for them. It was atthis ncture t' at Alexander Cooper, ofthe Department of Public Works, amember of the association, suggestedthe meeting be held in his office.There Hugoo V. Wittenberg, of the

Department of Finance, was electedtemperory president ami Thomas W. A.Crowe, of the Legal Department, wasappointed temporary secretary.

In asking for the election of Mr.Wittenberg, Alexander Cooper said."There isn't a mayor or any other po¬tentate in New York or out of it whowiil get him to quit. He is made of theright stud'."'

immediately after election Mr. Wit¬tenberg reviewed the activities of th"association. He said that because ofth<- fear "that their heads might be de¬caí. ted Mr. Stansfield and .Mr. Pragerwould la- inactive for a short while."He declared lia.' association representeda membership of 1K,üü;> city employes.At this point Mr. Crowe said the

committee which had been in session todetermine the necessary increase inpay had adopted a schedule of 25 per

:.' increase for all. This was objectedto by Abraham Bailey, of the Fi¬nance Department on the ground thatit increased the salaries of the higher[¡aid empioyes out of proportion to thelower- a r; les.

Schedules Aro AdoptedAfter further discussion a commit¬

tee of five, composed of Mr. Crowe, iur.

Bailey, Albert Owens, of Plant andStructtir« Cornelius Murphy, of Street(leaning, and Mi is Catherine Reilly, ofthe Borough President's office, was ap-pointed to discuas the matter.

Fifteen minutes later they returnedwith the schedules which were finallyadop ed.

President Wittenberg then declaredhe loyall y of tin a ¡i ociat ion. He said

ii would be willing to cooperate withany «ta." organ izal ion nol afl'il iatedwith labor organizations, but under nocircumstances would its members goa- on strike.The m meeting is called for

Th da; evening in the lobby of theM un icipal Buildi ng.

G« rge W. Morton, jr., leader of theUnion f T« hni« al Mc-n of Queens, who

su pended from duty by BoroughPresident Connolly on Saturday oncharges of insubordination, latenessand failure to punch a time clock, yes¬terday appeared to answer the accusa¬tions before Commissioner of PublicWorks Sullivan.Morton asked that the case be a«l-

journed until Thursday, so that hemight obtain counsel. He also re¬quested that the ease be heard beforeCommissioner Sullivan, saying that hewould call President Connolly as awitness to prove his case. Both re¬

quests were granted.

Germans DeclareAustrian Red BookIs Alibi for Nation

Berlin Newspapers and Un¬official Statements SayReal Blame for War MustBe Accepted by Vienna

BERLIN, Sept. 2! (By The Asso¬ciated Press!.-.German newspapersare to-day arguing that the Red Bookjust issued by the Austrian govern¬ment prove.- Germany earnestly trieilto prevent the outbreak of the greatwar in 1914, and that Count LeopoHvon Berchtold, Austrian Foreign Min¬ister in 1914, bears the bulk of the

ibility by Iris "underhand tac¬tics and deception."The belief that Germany can demand

a revision of the peace terms on thestrength of the Red Book is expressedby the "Boersen Zeitung," which inti¬mates that the publication of the RedBook was planned to bring about sucha demand. The "Kreuz Zeitung" de¬nounces what it calls the "inextinguish¬able guilt of Austrian diplomacy." whileseveral other papers praise the courageand honesty that brought about therevelations of the Red Book. The''Tageblatt" says Germany was re¬quired to keep silence about facts atthe peace conference, so as not tohinder Austria's chances for a betterDei ce.

Almost the only paper to criticisethe German government is the "Tage¬blatt," which says the government ini'alt "«¡ill not show the slightest in¬terest in the situation and acted idi¬otically," adding that "Germans inpower at thai time played trie part ofthorough-going fools." The newspa¬per declares the revelations of the RedBook an "awful disgrace for Germany.""The governmental incapacity of the

Hohenzollerns for the last thirty yearswas our guilt, for which we must now

pay," the newspaper concludes.While no official stateement has as

yet been obtainable in connection withthe publication of the Rial Book, For¬eign Office attaches who have beena ¡ling discuss the disclosures haveventured the opinion tirai "probablyt'a' most surprised men who read them

be Dr. Theeobald von Bethmann-llollweg, former German Imperial

hi ncollor. Gottli rb von Jagow, formerMinister of Foreign Aairs, and pos-

.'-.'. Viscount Grey, who in 1914 was

British Secretary of State for ForeignAffairs."

D. B. Cashin,superintendent, said it might remainclosed indefinitely.The strikers demand a 20 per cent

wage increase, a day off each weekand weekly, instead of monthly pay¬days. The waiters have been receiving$80 a month, Cashin said. This ismore than the cook are paid. Mealshave been served at a nominal costat the club and tipping is tabooed."The restaurant hasn't made any

ployers' organization, said yesterdaythat every effort is being made to averta general walkout.Leon II. Rouse, president, and John

O'Connell, secretary, of "Big Six."will represent the employes. TheTypographical Union has called a gen¬eral meeting for next Sunday to take ageneral strike vote. It is hoped thatthe results of the conference will ob¬viate the necessity of calling a gêneraistrike. The union demands an in¬crease of $14 a week and the forty-fourhour week. The latest offer of theemployers is an increase of Ç'î a weekand the institution of the forty-fourhour week May 1, 1921.

Pressmen's Union Xo. 51, which is a*odds with its international, will nottake part in the conference."We are through with conferences.

Tire next move is up to the employers,"Secretary James J. Bagley said yester¬day.

Mr. Bagley declared the pressmenwill never again enter into writtenagreements with the employers."We have found contracts to he an

impediment," said Mr. Bagley. "We donot intend to tie our hands by con¬tracts in the future. Wo want to pullout the men whenever we think it nec¬essary. Contracts will compel us tostay on the job whenever we think we

have real grievances to present beforethe contract expires."The pressmen have called a confer¬

ence of their branch of the printingindustry and other branches for to¬morrow, where the question of a gen¬era! strike will bn discussed. The con¬ference was called at a meeting of thePressmen's Union in Washington Irv¬ing High School, and was votad unani¬mously. More than 2',T0:i were pres¬ent.

charges made by Leon II. Roifte thatofficials of the International Typo¬graphical Union have been working incollusion with the employing printersin this city to prevent the realizationof the local union's demands, MarsdenG. Scott, president of the international,said yesterday:"Some leaders seem to have been

amiatpd by shell shock in these troub¬lous days."

Millinery Strike SpreadsDowntown millinery workers voted

yesterday to join the strike of the up¬town employes. The time for callingthe walk-out was left in the hands ofthe executive board of the Millineryand Ladies' Straw Hat Workers' Union.

More than 500 employes of the two

yards of tire Staten Island ShipbuildingCorporation were locked oui when theyreported to work yesterday morningbecause they took last Saturday after¬noon off. À. J. Ilinton, secretary ofthe company, said the men had beenwarned of the government ruling re¬

quiring them to work forty-eight hoursa week, and they forfeited their j ¦¦':#-

-.>>. ¡ion they disregarded it.

Demanding a thirty-nine-hour week,;the 3,500 members of the New Yorklocal of the International Jewelry!Workers' Union voted last night atWebster Hall, 119 Fast Eleventh.Street, for a general strike, effective!this morning. More than 250 jewelryconcerns are expected to be affectedby this move.

In 1916 the workers won the forty-eight-hour week. Last January theunion leaders gained a forty-four-hourweek without a strike. Representa¬tives of several of the manufacturersannounced that their employers were

ready t«> accede to the new demand, buttin- leaders decided that all the men

will be kept out until two-thirds of theemployers give in.

The Brooklyn Union Gas Companyobtained a temporary injunction yes¬terday to restrain the leaders of itsstriking employes from interferingwith the operations of the company inany way. It was alleged by the com¬

pany that gas pipes had been floodedwith water, meters punctured and em¬

ployes assaulted. Union leaders deniedresponsibility for any such acts. Theorder to show cause why a permanentinjunction should not be granted is re¬

turnable September 30.
