1 THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1919. CORPS NOT EQUAL TO TASK, HERR TO EXPORTERS "They're Coolie Paid Labor," Responds W. Y. Sharp, For- mer Ambassador to France.

The U. S. Diplomatic Corps was criticized as not equal to the task now before it in view of America's new position as a world power in speeces today at the Tenth Annual Convention of the American Manufacturers' Export Association, in session at the Waldorf-Astoria, Manhattan. M. Herr, president of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, launched the criticism and William G.

Sharp, former Ambassador to France, declared that the service was "coolie-paid labor." Mr. Herr said: "In surveying the many problems which confront Nation, in its effort to meet the then new situation created by the war, one is forcibly impressed by our lack of preparedness for the task that lies ahead. Our business men, who have spent their lives in developing domestic business, uddenly find themselves invited to engage in trade with other nations. Our bankers, who organized their credit machinery to finance our internal development, are now being asked to provide ways and means for financing the industry of the world, and our Government, which has been committed to a policy of splendid isolation, is now called upon to consider and form judgment upon the most delicate and complicated question of international relations. first and most pressing need in this connection is in the development of a diplomatic service which will be equal to tremendous responsibilities which will devolve upon it.

In the light of what some of our foreign representatives have done in the past and in spite of the handicaps and disadvantages, it is difficult to condemn the system of which they were a part, as incompetent and unworthy of a Fronta be country, the yet first I to think agree these that men our Nation and our Government have been shamefully negligent and short-sighted in providing for our diplomatic needs." Mr. Herr then said that no American ever returned to this country after a visit to other lands without bringing home the conviction that the United States was a first class Power at home and Power abroad, He usually found, Mr. Herr said, the representatives of our Government housed in rented quarters, usually in some out of the way section of the city, and that the representatives themselves in nine cases out of teu were unfit talent and training for the offices they filled. Mr. Sharp said that he was deeply Impressed with Mr.

Herr's remarks. been charged here today," he continued, "that the Government has negligent and shortsighted In making provisions for our diplomatic and consular needs. Reproach has been made as to the manner in which some of the official representatives of the United States have been compelled to live. If this be true, need we go far to find the reason? "The truth of the matter is that insofar as compensation for the diplomatic, consular and commercial services of the United States abroad is concerned, considering the return rendered, it is coolie paid labor, among that of all the other big nations. "I had not referred to the compensation paid to our ambassadors and ministers, because its gross adequacy is generally conceded.

If Great Britain's ambassador to France, in addition to being supplied with an embassy residence, receives an annual salary of $55,000, wherein is the justice in paying to the American ambassador at Paris less than one-third of that salary, leaving him to supply his residence and maintain it with all the dignity due from him to the great American republic which he represents? "Only an awakening by Congress to one of the most pressing needs of the time in our commercial relations abroad will remedy an evil which every person outside of the United States seems to realize far beyond those whose interests are at stake." CHILDREN HURT IN MISHAPS Eastern District children were victims of automobile and other accidents last evening. Alexander Yablowski, seven years old, 299 Kent fell from the fourth floor fire escape in his home and dropped thirty feet to the yard. His skull was fractured and he also sustained internal injuries.

He suffered abrasions of the right and left shoulder. for which he was treated at the hospital by Ambulance Surgeon Babington. DOWNTOWN BARBERS WORK.

Only Those In Low- Priced Shops on Strike. Although several hundred barbers in the downtown section have walked out, according rained to Anselmo Carrillo, secretary Local 838, Journeymen Barbers International Union of America, the strike is confined almost wholly to the shops where the lower prices are charged. The Borough Hall Master Barbers' Association, and most of the independent shops, where the 20-cent shave and 50-cent hair cut prices prevail, have not been affected. Those that have gone out are those working in the vicinity of Flatbush ave. and Fulton in the less expensive places.

The men demand $25 a week wages and a 50 per cent. commission on all taken in over $35 week1y on each chair. They want a 12- hour day, with one day off each week, an hour at noon, and an hour and a half for supper. TWO LUCKY MEN IN COURT. William Hines, 36, was acquitted by a jury in the County Court before Judge Nash of a charge of assault and robbery.

He had been charged with holding up and robbing William Lind, a seaman, of $4 on September 25. Michael Killer, 19, of 207 Green Greenpoint, was freed on a suspended sentence by Judge Dike. Killer, it was charged, had stolen some tools from his employer, whom he alleged to pay him some wages. Magazine Printing Without Typesetters; Strike May Revolutionize Publishing Business The effect of the printers' strike has been negated in one publishing house by the revolutionary idea of issuing a magazine without the assistance of a single compositor. The Literary Digest came out today, printed with the assistance of a typewriter and department.

The illustration here given is a photograph of a sample of the new workmanship. Typewritten pages of the "copy" were photographed and from these, "cuts," similar to those made of dinary photographs for newspaper printing, were made to supply the page forms. According to Funk Wagnalls the publishers, the innovation, which was seized upon as an invenItion born of an emergency, has proved to be so popular that there a possibility that the Literary Digest will continue to be issued in this form. The rush of time required to issue a weekly magazine compelled it to overlook details which can be added within another week or two. These additions, said a member of the publishing company today, will result in the pages being similar in appearance to the ordinary printed page.

Printing type will be put on the typewriting machines. "It is faster and cheaper," said one of the publishers today. "This week there was the rush of installing many typewriters and turning out as faultless copy as possible. This is an expense that can be numbers. dispensed 11 with issuing preceding While we have decided definitely only that the the Literary Digest will be issued in this form until the strike is over, the popularity of the new idea is making us consider seriously the idea of making the style permanent.

"The printers could then be notifiled that their 'vacations' will be permanent." The Literary Digest did not omit any number. of its The regular headlines were either departments in this drawn by a staff artist or photographed from those of other issues. The page is clear and the lines, except in a few places, even. "It will be very simple for us to substitute printing type on our typewriters," he said, "and as soon as have that is done and a few other ideas we in mind, the reader will not be able to discern the difference between it and the more familiar form." The Funk Wagnalls Co. pressmen did not go out on strike this time, A few weeks ago it suffered from a strike of pressmen and it was ended with an agreement that practically insured the company of a steady force of pressmen.

His statement is a reply to the protest of Edward P. Doyle, president of the Receivers and Distributers Association, alleging that these increases have increased the price of food, and that the rents and fees are being illegally collected by the Market Commissioner. He has been advised by the Corporation Counsel, Mr. Day says, that the Commissioner of Markets has the power to collect the rent and revoke permits where rent is refused. "Increased rents," he declares, "have in no way increased the prices of food, either in the wholesale or retail markets.

All rents are now being legally collected. There are some slight modifications of the rules in process of formulation, and these will be submitted to the Board of Estimate for consideration." MRS. W. C. CLARKSON DIES years old, wife of Willard Clarkson, Mrs.

Parsons was born in East Orange, N. on December 9, 1869, the daughter of the late Josiah and Amanda Seaver Quincy She was of old New England ancestry, her BOARD OF ESTIMATE NOW ORDERS PROBE OF FREIGHT TUNNEL Passes Special Resolution Directing Delaney to Investigate Plan for Separate Tube. The question of owned freight tunnels under the Narrows, connectcity ing Brooklyn with Ridgewood, was revived at today's meeting of the Board of Estimate. On the insistence of Borough Presi. dent Riegelmann the board amended the resolution adopted two weeks ago referring to Transit Construction Commissioner John H.

Delaney the project of an extension of the subway system from South Brooklyn to Staten Island, so as to include the study of an independent freight tunnel, or tunnels, provided Commissioner Delaney finds Rapid Transit Act gives him authority to lay out a freight line. Mr. Riegelmann introduced the subject by stating that newspaper reports of the action of the board in regard to a passenger tunnel under the Narrows had given the impression that the construction of freight tunnels was precluded. He said Transit Construction Commissioner Delaney also was under that impression. "As I understand the situation," he went on, "the board opposes combina.

tion freight and passenger tunnels, but is not opposed to the construction of independent freight tunnels connecting Brooklyn with Richmond Borough. To make the record perfectly clear on this point, I offer an amendment to the resolution adopted two weeks ago, requesting the Transit Construction Commissioner to make a study of freight tunnels at the same time that he is preparing his plans for passenger tunnels. Then there will be no misconception of the matter, and Commissioner Delaney will be fully informed as to the board's intentions if we ask him to make a study of any plans for two freight and two passenger tunnels." Controller Craig said he doubted whether the Rapid Transit Act authorized the Public Service, Commission to construct a line or make any study of or plans for routes not intended for passenger service. Mayor Hylan declared that no member of the Board had the slightest intention of combining the proposed passenger tunnel under the Narrows with a freight tunnel. All the members of the Board agreed with him on this point.

However, Stewart Browne, representing the United Realty Owners, urged the Board to reverse its position as to a combination freight and passenger tunnel. "If you build the passenger tunnels under the Narrows and don't make them large enough for the carrying of freight," he said, "you will be sorry for it." Some day an emergency will arise when the existence of freight tunnels connecting with Richmond will be of the utmost importance. And it will be much cheaper to build combination freight and passenger tunnels than construct them independent of one another." But Mr. Browne's argument made no impression on the Board. It again went on record as being absolutely opposed to a combination freight and passenger subway under the Narrows.

The sentiment of all the members of the board except Mr. Riegelmann seemed to be that the freight tunnel project should not be allowed to get mixed up with the extension of the subway system to Staten Island. President Van Name of Richmond said so in effect. He declared that nobody objected to the Public Service Commission making a study of the freight tunnel proposition if it had the power to do so, but that the question of a passenger tunnel to his borough was the more important. The essence of the amendment to the resolution adopted by the board in the matter is as follows: "That the Transit Construction Commission be requested to study, as far as his authority goes, the question of a freight tunnel under the Narrows, connecting Brooklyn with Richmond Borough."

Johnston) Democratic candidate for District Attorney, who charged in a speech Thursday night that District Attorney Harry E. Lewis had ignored conditions in Brooklyn storehouses on which a high cost of living investigation could have been made with possible indictments for business conspiracy, today furnished Federal Attorney Leroy W. Ross with a list of the foodstuffs on hand on August 15 In this borough with details on the subject. Federal Attorney Ross said that he will make the report the basis of an investigation and if warrant, will ask the Grand Jury to take action. He will write to Washington for expert accountants and agents to check the foodstuffs now in storage with a view to determining how much, if any, food is being held in excess of the normal supply.

Congressman Johnston, in a letter accompanying the data, said he had (read in The Broklyn Eagle Mr. Ross's request tor "information as to any improper retention of food." Then he added: "Some time ago I examined the offcial records tile in the public offices of the City our New York and made a transcript of all the foodstuffs in storage and warehouses in Kings County on or about August 15. This transcript consists of 33 closely typewritten pages and is a detailed report of the kind and quantity of all foodstuffs stored in Brooklyn, together with the address by street number and the name of the owner where it is stored. "The record, as you will see, discloses that millions of pounds of foodstuffs are stored and hoarded in the County of Kings. It also refutes completely the statement so often made that excessive and oppressive prices which the people of Brooklyn are compelled to pay for the necessaries of life are due to a shortage or scarcity of foodstuffs.

Moreover, it tends to establish what most people believe: that the high cost of living is caused by the hoarding of food in enormous quantities by speculators and profiteers who in violation of law have agreed and conspired to control and regulate prices in Brooklyn." Federal Attorney Ross in replying said: wish 10 extend to you, my most sincere thanks for your work in preparing and forwarding to me this memorandum. I have no doubt that it would serve as a basis for an investigation which may be very fruitful in results." District Attorney Harry E.

A fine coat, worth $250, was missed, and then came other disclosures. Some old pieces of jewelry of inestimable value from a sentimental standpoint, had disappeared. Also there were missed articles of value in silverware and some old plated ware and pewters had disappeared.

Mr. King sent for the policee, and Detective William D. Roddy of the headquarters staff questioned the caretaker, Dorn, after the fashion of an intelligent detective, so persistently that Dorn finally told him that he had taken the things, and had pawned them in a shop on Bridge street. There most of the property was found, the broker's clerk identified Dorn as the man who had brought the pledges there, and had received money from them. Dorn was arrested, and today he was held for the Grand Jury by Magistrate Geismar, in the Adams st.

court, before whom he had waived examination. MEET TO PROTEST STEIN SELECTION Henigan Calls 6th Captains Together Livingston Assumes Responsibility for ment. The row kicked up in Sixth A. D. circles over the appointment of Michael Stein to a $3,300 berth in the State Controller's office by County Leader Livingston over the head of John Henigan the local leader in the district, may break into open revolt tonight.

A special meeting of the Sixth District captains has been hurriedly called by Henigan, it is stood, to make a formal protest. Coming on the eve of an important county election the situation is garded with extreme disfavor by the Republican candidates. County Leader Livingston today assumed full responsibility for the appointment of Stein. "The position is only a temporary one, pending a civil service examination which will be held in about a month," he said. "Who recommended Stein?" the County Leader was asked.

"No one. I picked him myself," he declared. The County leader said he had not heard of the protest meeting in the Sixth and that he wouldn't be on hand. Followers of Henigan are now claiming that the two men re1 sponsible for getting Livingston to recommend Stein were, Baruch ler, of the 22nd the County leader's home district, and State Senator Charles Lockwood, G. O.

P. leader in the Fifth. Miller is an important factor in the 22nd and the inference was that the appointment was to strengthen Leader Livingston in his home territory. Commissioner Livingston emphatically denied this report today. "Miller and I haven't spoken in two years." he declared, "ever since Charles B.

Law was nominated for Municipal Court. Miller's friends thought the nomination should have gone to him." He also denied that Senator Lockwood, who was credited with a desire to control both his own district and the adjoining Sixth as well, had anything to do with the Stein appointment. Stein, as the chief supporter of Reuben L. Gledhill, in his recent threatened primary fight on Henigan for the Sixth A. D.
