CURB PROFTERING Proposed Amendment to City Ordinance Would Pro- tect Tenants. Evening World’s Plan to Pre- vent Gouging Outlined by Alderman Kenneally. The Public Thoroughfares Com- ittee of the Board of Aldermen held Public hearing yesterday afternoon h an amendment to the moving van finance, introduced by Demo¢ratic ority Leader William P, Ken- ily, to curb profiteering by mov- of furniture, The Kenneally Provides that the in the existing ordinance, as the “special contract” use, shall be eliminated, and that je old moving rates be increased to eet Present day conditions. The principal speaker for the mov- van ownérs, who looked like a ody of bankers, was C. 8. Morris, ident of thélr powerful organiza- ‘tion. ete | Bpeakers for the Kenneally amend- were Mr. Kenneally himself, Ettinger, counsel for the Real Estate Owners’ Protective Associa- tion, of which City Magistrate Woseph 8, Schwab is President; Isador Kempner, another member of that Organization; Alderman Charles H. and John H. Scheier, an “SPECIAL CONTRACT” PERMITS SWINDLING. , SAt the beginning of the hearing, der Kenneally explained that as Tong as there was a “special contract” fg the ordinance unscrupulous van Owners. would have the right to charge any price they saw fit. He @aid one of the methods of profiteers was to load a wagon, or van, and then demand the amount due for the entire job. After delivering the first * load the profiteers often disappeared and left victims with half their fur- miture At one address and the other half a mile or 90 away at another. “In framing the amendment to the old ordinance,” said Kenneally, “I have taken into consideration the in- erease in prices and have raised the eld rates from 50 to 100 per cent, The public are willing to pay reasonable increases, but they object to being Aterally held up. If we, their-repre- sentatives, don't furnish them the remedy which lies within our power, We are not worthy of the trust reposed in us. We see before us a large dele- gation of moving van men who are Yery well organized. The people who have been victimized cannot be here, so we must represent them and see that they get a square deal.” Alderman Haubert said he repre- sented a district where many com- plaints had been made against mov- ers of household furniture. He de- clared that the “special contract” clause makes the rest of the ordi- nance practically null and void, and should be immediately eliminated. ‘WIDOW IS VICTIM OF MOVING PROFITEER. Mr, Kempner related two instances of profiteering by movers of house- hold effects and officé furniture, A > widow with five children was charged $60 for the removal of her furniture from Ninth Avenue, between 46th and 47th Streets, to Eighth Avenue, be, tween 53d and 64th Streets. The movers had to climb but one flight of stairs at the beginning and end of their journey. In former years, Mr. Kempner said, the cost of moving furniture such a Short distance was froth $12 to $15, The second instance Was a personal one. Two very small safes were moved from No, 17 West 42d Street to No, 522 Fifth Avenue, corner 44th Street, and the charge was $75. No block and tackle were used, the movers utilizing the elevators b cause of the smallness of the safes. The distance is about two blocks and @ quarter The same arguments that were used by counsel for the Taxicab Trust when The Evening World began its crusade to fix rates for taxicabs were advanced by Mr. Morris. He con- tended that the City of New York had no right to regulate moving van rates. Republican Floor Leader August Ferrand quickly reminded him that +» Moving vans are in practically the game class as taxis, and that, like taxis, they use the streets of the city. Alderman O’Rourke of Staten Island backed up Ferrand’s contention. Mr, Morris defending the moving van men as a class, argued that if there was profiteering it ocourred in “isolated instances. He said decent local moving van owners were abused ‘when they went to court and pro- tested against the invasion of un- Hcensed outsiders. CLAIMS SPECIAL CONTRACTS CAN'T BE PREVENTED, Mr. Scheier objected to a clause in the Kenneally amendment, which provides that disputes between mov- ers and tenants shall be adjusted by officers at the nearest police stetion, and that pending settlement of the dispute furniture must be stored. This, he said, would prove a ‘*hard- ship to the tenant and encourage graft. Michael Lenihan, a moving van owner, of No. 14 Burnside: Avenue, Corona, declared the Board of Al- dermen had no right to prevent him or any other moving man from en- tering into a contract, He said: ~ “It doesn't make any difference how many ordinances you make, thelr Provisions will be broken. Christ made the ten commandments and even they're broken every day.” ‘The ordinance will be considered by & committee composed of van owners, representatives of real estate inter- , ests and members of the Thorough- fares Committee before it is submit- fed to the Board of Aldermen for a SWINDLING IS EXPOSED. ‘ Orthodox Catholic Monastery, Off Fifth Avenue, Spreading Patriotism Among Races From Southeastern Europe. “Think More of Babe Ruth Than Bolsheviki,” Says One Seminarian — Abbott Patrick, Who Served in War, Tells Aims. Marguerite Mooers Marshall. You never know your New York! How many persons are aware of the fact that at No. 18 East 90th Street, @ stone's throw from ‘Fifth Avenue and diagonally across from the spien- did Carnegie mansion, is a monastery, where half a dezen black-robed, tall- hatted monks of the Holy Eastern Orthodox Catholic (Greek Catholic) Chureh, sing, pray, fast and work ac- cprding to the age-old doctrine and disfpline coming down to them from 311 A. D.? ‘ The monastery 1s attached to the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, at No. 15 Gast 97th ‘Street. The building which shelters it is rented from the Car- negie estate, and {s a quaint, two-| story, white-painted wooden structure which looks like a poor country cou- sin of the fine brownstone residences and apartment hotses around it. Also it looks most unlike one’s ideas of a monastery, both outside, where there is a bed’ of gay pansies and borders of red geraniums, and inside, where the reception room is furnished with bright-hued rugs, chairs and couch in @ summer dress of gay cre- tonne, a grand piano; and only two tall purple candles in taller god can- desticks and a cross of gold, over which plays the wavering reflection of a hidden flame, to sugest the relig- jous atmosphere. MOVE TO AMERICANIZE 3,000,000 ALIENS. Nevertheless, from the viewpoint of & benevolent neutral toward all churches, there is more religion to the square inch in this little monastery than in many more pretentious sacred edifices. For No. 18 Rast 90th Street is the G, #1. Q. of a tremendously Im- portant campalgn—the movement to Americanize, through their church, the 3,000,000 Syrians, Greeks, Rus- sians, Egyptians, Abyssinians, Arabi- ans, Roumanians, Montenegrins, Al- banians and kindred nationalities who —It 1s no secret—have proved until now some of the bits in the American melting pot. “We are,” young, blue-eyed, keenly intelligent’ Abbott Patrick explain to me, with pride, “the first all-Amer- ican monastery of the orthodox Cath- olic Clurch in this country. The six of us are all American citizens, and we have been brought together from all over the United States by Arch- bishop Alexander, Primate of the Church in America and associated with the Cathedral of St. Nicholas in New York City, to serve as ‘shock troops,’ so to speak, in the American- ization of the church and of its peo- ple.” Abbott Patcick comes from Balti- more find is of Irish ancestry, When America went into the great war he was thirty-five and in orders, so the draft could not touch him, But he had to get into the war somehow, so he quietly enlisted as a “gob” ‘in the United States Navy “for the dura- tion.” Another monk gt 18 Bast 90th Street, Father Stephan, was a Lieu- tenant of the 133d Machine Gun Com- pany of the 88d Division. Still an- other monk, Father Alexander, served in the Serbian Army throughout the war. “It was the war," continued Ab- dott Patrick, “which brought to a focus this Americanization plan, al- though it has been the traditional policy of the Greek Cathole Church to nationalize itself in each country. It should have been done 0 long be- fore in America. Because of the de- lay the Syrians, “Russians, Greeks and other bodies have been kept Syrians, Russians and Greeks, in- stead of becoming Americans, largely through the influence of their own priests. Some of these priests, even now, are hostile to the Americaniza- tion’ movement, but the majority are strongly for it'and Archbishop Alex- ander is its most earnest supporter. PROMISED AUTONOMY AS SOON AS THEY ARE READY. “His Holiness, Archbishop Tikhon, the Patriarch of Russia, under whose jurisdictfon our church in America now is, lived here eight years, is most democratic and a great admirer of American ideals, and he and the other patriarchs have promised us autonomy at the earliest moment we can be ready for it. “So we are putting all the church liturgy into Engiish—something that never has been done before. The other, night, at the Cathedral of St Nicholas, we had a vesper service entirely in English—even the choir sang English words—and you, have no idea how beautiful it was, Ulti- mately every one of our churches throughout this country will hold all most unassimilable | enn Aids in Americanizing of Aliens RH MERCHANT ALED AUTOS 125FOOT PLUNGE Samuel Rattner Buried Under Car as It Crashes Through Viaduct Guard Rail. The police, after questioning many | witnesses, said to-day the cause of the accident that cost Samuel Ratt- ner his life never would :be known. Rattner, a wealthy fur merchant at| No, 148 West 26th Street, and living at No. 938 East 163d Street, was return- ing from the races at 6.30 P. M. yes- terday when hig automobile rvuadster swerved on the 155th Street viaduct, crossed the sidewalk and_ plunged through the iron guard rail The machine made a half loop and then a spin as it dropped the 125 feet to Bradhurst Avenue, and it landed wheels upward, with the driver pinned beneath the heavy machinery. There was a terrific crash as the | mitted to the authorities to-day woodwork of the car broke into small bits and the metal parts struck and splintered againgt the asphalt. The driver was buried benbath ‘this ‘o- describable wreck and instantly killed. Although many persons in the park and some in apartment house win-. dows nearby saw the accident, no one was able to tell just what caused 't. There could not have been a skid, for the paving blocks on the viaduct were dry at the time. There could not have been a quick swerve to avoid a colli- sion, because no other vehicle was nearby. A broken steering knuckle on the roadster or a sudden heart attack seizing Mr. Rattner might have been responsible. In August, 1914, another wealthy man, Charles J. Hite, President of the Thanhouser Film Company and brother of the late Mabel Hite, a prominent vaudeville artiste was killed at almost the same spot in ex- actly the same manner. He lingered a few hours after taking the plunge, but was unable to explain how the accident happened. AUTO THIEVES GO TO JAIL.

There are in this country some 3,000,000 for whom we are the church; 500,000, at least, in New York, of whom there are 200,000 Syrians. “The spirit of our generation,” Ab- bott Patrick declared warmly, “is all American.

The striking coastwise longshore- men, by @ vote of 871 to 266 an- nounced early to-day, rejected Gov. Smith's proposal that they return to work pending his efforts to get higher wages for them. Seven locals took part in the balloting, whieh lasted from 6 P. M. until midnight in St. Veronica’s Hall in Washington Street. By this yote to remain on strke, the men also spurned the advice of thelr own leaders, who have been concerned with the “open port” talk. Before the vote was made public, some of the coastwise lines an- nounced unofficially that in the future there will be ne discrimination on their piers as to labor, To-day the chances of settling the transportation tangle and avoiding the “open shop” clash seemed remote. The refusal of the men to return to work means that preparations will continue for a fight to the finish be- tween the $5,000,000 union busting combination of the Merchants’ Asso- ciation on one side and the combined forces of the American Federation of Labor probably on the othe: Had the iongshoremen vowed to re- turn to work, It is probable the strik- Ing teamsters, who went out in sym- pathy with the longshoremen, would have followed in resuming their jobs.
