DO NOT PAY WARING'S MEN, Drivers and Stablemen in Street-Cleaning Department Can't Get Their Wages, FOUR WEEKS’ PAY NOW DUE, Many of Them Are Daily Threatened with Dispos- sess Proceedings. COL. WARING IS POWERLESS. The Appropriation In Gone and He Says Somebody Has Been om a Vacation. Fur weeks’ wages are due the drivers and stablemen of the Street-Cleaning | ‘ Department. Nobody seems to know Just when these men will be pald. Col. Waring is trying to get their money for them, but oficial red tape in other de- partments where wages are pald out makes this a hard job. Meanwhile these workmen owe for food, owe for rent, owe for medicine, and their credit is gone. Some of them have been turned out of their houses into the street. Three of these evr men called at this office and complainec to-day. ‘The stories told by some of the men fare pitiful in the extreme, In order to find out just where the fault lies an “Evening World" reporter atarted out this morning to interview the heads of the department, who are Delieved to be, in a measure, responsible, Tt must be understood that the drivers on a different foot- epers and other em- Ployees of the Department. The latter are paid out of the regular appropria- tion for the Strect-Cleaning Depart- ment. The appropriation to pay the former was used up long ago, so an emergency bill was put through the Legislature to meet the deficit, Under this emergency bill Col. Waring, while he employs the men, has no power to pay them. He simply makes up tne pay-roll and forwards it to the Board of Health. The latter holds a meeting, passes on the bills presented and author- izen the President to vouch for the same, Tt ip then forwarded to the Hoard of Estimate and Apportionment, which au- thorises the Comptroller to issue ponds and sell them for the amount of the bill, This course has to be followed week after week. THE be allowed for a moment in a great city lke New York is almost beyond belief. According to the statements of all the oMcials concerned, no matter how the bills put through the employees | named must always remain one week behind in their wages. vhen Col. Waring was seen he said “it there is any responsibility for delay in this matter I waht it cleariy under: stood that it does not rest with this De partment. We do not pay the money to the men, It is our simple duty to make up the pay-roll and forward it to the Board of Health, This we have done regularly every week “How it came to pase that three weeks’ emain unpaid do not know. Phere Is only one reason that I know. Hither I or President Wilson, of the Health Board, the President of Roard of Estimate and Apportionment, or Comptroller Fitch must have been away on vacation while this thing was going on, Ali J know Ia that I was not on vacation. Perhaps it was that Deputy Comptroller Storrs did not want to act in the absence of his chief.” Col, Waring did not say Comptrotier Fitch had been away on vacation. ‘The inference was plain, however. President Wilson, of the Health De partment, waid: “A this is news to me, We have nothing whatever (o do with the matt except to certify the bills, This we hi done regularly. It takes the Street- Cleaning Department a few days to out the pay-roll of the drivers and oe, the week's work ends It takes the Btree:- spartment clerks all of Bri- and Saturday to make out the pay- roll We get it Monday afternoon and always act on it not later than Tuesday. Then it goes to the Board of Estimate, which acts just as promptly, I believe. Then it goes to the Comptroller, who ts the last one to recelve It, “1 did not know that the money had not heen paid to the men." n Auditor Lyon, of the Finance tment, was seen he advised reporter to e Deputy Comptro Storrs, and accompanied him to the lat- Mr. Storrs said: 4 better see the Comptroller.” When Mr, Fitch was seen he said: “All this delay is really due to the fact that this man (meaning Col. War- ing) did not keep within his appropria- tion, These men are pald out of differ- ent moneys. They are pald out of bonds authorized by the Board of Hatimate and Apportionment on the certificate of the Board of Heulth, The delay ts unavolda is the two Roards p toy act and the bonds have to be issued and | sold before the paymaster has the mone hand, No other funds are nformed that in consequence ‘lay many of the men had been threatened with dispossess proceedings, the Comptroller sal “Iu that so? I never heard of it until now. Well, it is all due to the fault 1 spoke about." “But both Col, Waring and President Wilson deny that there has been any delay tn their offices,” raid the reporter. “1am not saying that there has been,” was the reply. “All I say t# that the delay is duo to the necessities of the Emergency act, “It takes time to go through all the ‘That such a system of red tape coud 26 and 28 pure silk rolling Umbrellas, rods, manufactured to sell at $4.00, $1.98.

There has been no delay here.” Meanwhile it fs promised that the men will be paid on Monday next. If not Mayor @trong will have to meet about as angry a delegat of men as he han ever had to deal with. Failing to cure proper redress, it ts not at all unlikely that a strike will follow. — Sidewalk Obstructions.
