the THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1914. 3 SEEK SUBWAY JOBS; FIFTY HIRED Work on Brooklyn Tubes May Be Stoped for Lack of Shorers. LAW BARS ALIEN LABOR. Cranford Company Laid Off 600 on Saturday--Winter May Tie Up Contracts.

About 1.700 men applied for work today at the three construction tions of the H. L. Cranford which is building the Flatbush avenueEastern Parkway subway, but only fifty of them were accepted, and as a result, work on the subway contracts in Brooklyn is practically at a dead standstill. On Saturday the company had to let out 600 men to comply with the labor law prohibiting any but American citizens from working on public works, and the men taken on today do not begin to fill the need for labor. The Cranford Company can get plenty of laborers, men who will do the excavating and digging, but shorers and expert timbermen are needed, and it seems impossible to get them.

The men who applied today were anxious to work, but the majority of them had to confess that they knew nothing of shoring and were turned away after giving their addresses so that the company can communicate with them if they are able to go on with their contracts. All of the men put off the work on Saturday were non-citizens, and only a very few shorers were left on the job. order to do the work accoruing to contract, it is necessary to have a large force of timbermen who make the excavations safe, and the outlook now for getting them is none too good. As early 6.30 today men began to gather die the en Sixth, Seventh and Ninth avenue construction stations in response to advertisements which the company has put out calling for "citizen labor" and at 8 o'clock there were more than a thousand at the big central station at Prospect Park Plaza. Some of the men brought shovels and overalls with them, excepting to go to work at once, but when they learned that shorers were needed and that until they were obtained work could not go on, they had to go away disappointed.

Great piles of beams are now lying in the store yard at the plaza waiting to he taken down into the excavations, but the company has not enough men to handle even the first section of their contract. The duties of the shorers are the most important in the actual subway construction, for they go into tubes when small' excavations have been made and make it safe for the diggers to follow them. Ordinarily 100 work together at th eshoring, and there are not now 100 men on the entire contract who can do the work. "We have some men at work." said one of the Cranford on engineers this morning, 'but not nearly enough. At present the subway is praotically at a standstill and it doesn't look now as if it would go on for some time.

We have had at least five gangs of shorers on the work up until this trouble came, and now we haven't even one full crew. Until we get the needed men we cannot send out excavation forces into the holes to dig because it would not be safe. Undoubtedly we would have a cave-in and probably large loss of life if we attempted it." Last week John Gill of the Bricklayers and Masons Union sent a letter to all of the contractors on the various systems in the city, telling them of the law prohibiting non-citizen labor cn public works, and threatening to take steps to have it enforced if it were not complied with. The seriousthe Oscar Daniels and Dock Construcness of that pa letter was apparent rent when tion companies, which have contracts on the Manhattan and Bronx tubes began to let out men who are not citizens, and the Cranford Company laid plans to have some of its men take out citizenship papers. Saturday the Cranford Company was compelled to lay off 600 men, all skilled shorers or excavators, and officers of the company said that it meant a suspension of the three contracts they hold, a total of more than 000,000.

Immediately signs were put up on all of the construction stations, reading "Labor Wanted; Must Be American Citizens," and the crowd today was the result. The company offered any who could qualify for the positions as high as 40 cents an hour, but the most careful examination of the applicants failed to bring to light more than fifty who knew anything about shoring. And some of these had never done very much work at it, although they knew enough to be useful on the contracts. Those who were selected for the labor were told to report at their stations tomorrow at 7 o'clock, and will be set to work as soon as possible, but the company has left the signs out, and another big crowd of applicants is expected. The suspension of the Brooklyn tracts may throw out the entire new system in this borough, for with winter coming on, th the contractors will be placed nt a disadvantage trying to keep their present excavations opened and in working order.

They are in no condition now, it was stated, to meet the rigors of a hard winter, and if they are delayed in preparing for it. it may mean that practically all of the work now finished will have to be done over again in the spring.

THEY APPEAL FROM CONVICTION District Attorney Says Willett Did Not Seek Delegates, but Tried to Get "Boss" Cassidy.

(Special to The Eagle.) Albany, November 23-Arguments were beard this afternoon in the Court of Appeals, on the appeals of Joseph Cassidy, William Willett and Louis T. Walter from a conviction on charges of trafficking in a Democratic Supreme Court nomination in the fall of 1911. District Attorney Cropsey appeared for the people, and Robert H. Elder for the defendants. In the case of Willett, Mr.

Cropsey held that neither the sudictency of the facts nor that of the indictment, 18 now open to review by the Court of Appeals. Ha characterized as unsound the contention of the defendant, that the penal law. dealing with corrupt use of otticial power, applied only to orticials. "Political leaders or bosses rarely become odicials," said Mr. Cropsey in his argument.

"They are actual govercors. constituting the of legally invisible government. 'The nppeliant Willett, when he sought a nomdid not took tor delegates, but tried to reach their master, the boss, the appellant, Cassidy, The latter selt testified that the delegates carried out bis orders, and that he made or procured and caused to be made the nominations of certain judges. Leaders like Platt and Croker always frankly declared that they made and caused i to be made nominations and appointments. As bosses or leaders they were in a relation unrecognized by law, although exercising absolute control, and demonstrating the fact that they 'made' the nominations or appointments procured by them from the formal legal convention or odicial." Mr.

Elder held that the indietment does not state facts sutlicient to constitute a cause of action, that it Alleges no crime to have been committed within the, jurisdiction of the Grand Jury, and the proof showed no criminal act to have been committed. le do. clared that 2 newspaper editorial charging a corrupt bargain by which defendant was nominated, was ndmitted in evidence against him under circumstances that were very prejudicial to him, although it was irrelevant incompetent, and objected and excepted to by him. In the Cassidy and Walter case District Attorney Cropsey told the Court that the indictment accuses them of the crime of "making, tendering and offering to procure and to cause a nomination to a public office upon the payment and contribution of valuable consideration and upon the understanding and promise thereof." This, he declared, was charged and proved to have taken place in Kings County, and constitutes the offense defined by law even if the persons making the nomination held no official place and exercised no official authority Mr. Elder argued that the indictment does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action, and that the Court erred in certain of its charges to the jury.

Where the items of capital, surplus and undivided profits fluctuate, the same will be averaged and when such averages are made, a separate sheet showing how this average is arrived at should be attached to each return.

"As the tax begins on November 1, eight months only of the present fiscal year remain. The tax for which period will be 8-12 or 2-3 of what would be due for the entire year.
