MALTBIE GETS
BRUERE'S POST
His Acceptance of Cham
berlainship Gratifying,
Mitchell Says.

Mayor Mitchell announced yesterday
that he had asked Milo r. Maltbie,
former Public Service Commissioner to
become City Chamberlain to succeed
Henry Bruerc, whose resignation Will
take effect soon after May I, and that
Mr. Maltbie had accepted the office.
In announcing the appointment the
Mayor said that he hoped during the
remainder of his administration to
avail himself OF the advice of the
Chamberlain on questions relating to
public utilities in which the city was
directly interested. and for that reason
welcomed the acceptance of Mr.. Malt
bic because of his previous experience
in the Public Service Commission.
The Mayor said;
81 feel particularly grstifed that |
have obtained the services Of Mr.. Malt
bic for this Office. The last two years
have demonstrated how effectively the
Office Of City Chamberlain may be used
as an administrative agency of govern
ment to assist the Mayor. In inviting
Mr. Maltbie TO take this Office have
had in mind not so much the admins
trative possibilities Of the Office, since
under the new Commissioner of Ac-
counts bill these functions can be
largely transferred TO that department,
but principally obtaining for the city
an expert and adviser in public SER
vice matters.
First Aid to Public Service.
For the remainder Of the present
administration ! wish to give especial
attention, through the agency OF the
Chamberlain's Office. 70 those public
service matters IN which the city has
a direct interest and in which the law
gives the municipality right TO take
active part. In other words, in add
tion 70 the regular work of the Cham
berlain's Office nope to to have Mr..
Msltbie give special and constant at
tention to public service matters.
Commissioner Maltbe was the hard
est worker of any Of the members OF
the Public Service Commission during
his term of service.

"The city is once more on the eve
of a condition which we cannot contem-
plate with equanimity: the sending out
into the street of At least 10000 work
ers. with all the consequences which
such an act will entail. particularly at
this time OF international crisis
The failure yesterday OF the manu-
facturers in the cloak and suit indus
try to meet Mayor Mitchell and score
of other prominent citizens at the City
Hall. to confer in an attempt TO avoid
the threatened strike in that industry,
led Dr.. Felix Adler, chairman OF the
Cancellation Council. 70 describe the
situation in those words. The Mayor.
Jacob II. Schf, Oscar 5. Straus and
others present expressed the same SEN
timent. and look forward with deep
concern to the possibility Of turning
out so many workers at this time.
81 think the community has a right
TO demand" said Mayor Mitchell, that
no group or element in it jeopardize
the public peace at this particular time
If this matter should progress to the
point OF disturbance in the pubic
streets the city government would re-
gard it as necessary TO quell those dis
turbances with strong hand. Incl
dentally. Of course, under the condi-
tions which have been produced here,
those who arc responsible for bringing
on this condition must carry the bur
den of that responsibility before the

Willard Defends Pacifcists.

"There was never a greater fallacy.'
continued the Mayor, than that if dan
ger threatened America 100000 men
would rise in day and defend her One
million men ready? Yes! But unarmed
unframed. willing? Yes! But L.
100000 men to be the first awful sac
rifce to our immoral sluggishness-a
national murder.
THE United States is absolutely de-
fenceless to-day. God knows that we
don't want war. But who can guaran-
tee that other nations will exercise an
equal restraint"
Mr.. Willard held the preparedness
propaganda up to ridicule as the great
est humbug since the free silver agita-
ton. Few men in Congress" said Mr..
Willard. would propose such a military
programme as now ponds If they were
not candidates for public Office"

Manufacturers Denounced.

All OF the peace representatives, IN
Guiding men from the unions involved,
attended the conference. The refusal
of the Cloak. Suit and Skirt Manu-
facturers' Protective Association to ap-
pear in answer TO the Mayors invita-
ton was declared BY some OF the con-
ferrees 20 be an insult 20 the Mayor and
TO the city. The council was appointed
by the Mayor last summer when a
strike was threatening in the same in
dustry. and Dr. Adler ana his asso-
ciates at that time succeeded IN erect
ing an amicable agreement.
f. J. Vile, chairman of the associa-
ton. sent a letter to the Mayor stat
ing that the association, as body,
coulo not enter into the conference. 1t
is probable that the Mayor will send
for Mr.. Vile and try to impress on
him the seriousness of the situation.
i careful record was made of the
opinions expressed at the conference.
MIR. Schiff declared that members Of
the executive committee of the manu-
facturers' association had told him
ten days ago that the employers had
decided 20 proclaim a lockout of all
employees on Saturday, TO forestall the
contemplated action Of the union TO
call a general strike in July, in the
height OF tho season. The men who
called on him, Mr.. Schif said. were
opposed TO the lockout and were anx-
ious TO prevent it.
Committee Fails to Appear.
Mr.. Schff said he invited all the
members Of the manufacturers execu-
-. 70 n
last Sunday to confer with represen-
tarives Of the union. The union men
were on hand. but the manufacturers
committee did not appear. he said.
1hcieupon he called the attention OF
the Cancellation Council TO the situa
ticr, with the result that Mayor
Mitchell called yesterdays conference.
81 still hope that the manufactur-
their way" said Mr.. Schif. "and come
into the conference The executive
committee of their organization il by
no means unit. This situation is
forced by executive officers who APP
pear 10 have no understanding OF so
cial justice. Men who take such a
potion do not deserve 10 represent a
large and important trade, and the
best thing the manufacturers can do
is 20 get rid OF such leaders"
Chairman Strauss of the Public Ser
vice Commission, who was recently in
strumental in settling the subway
strike. expressed his indignation at
the attitude of the manufacturers. He
supported the suggestion OF another
conference and second invitation to
the manufacturers. On the other hand,
he declared that the union had no
right TO disturb the public peace in the
they were right or wrong in the con-
troversy.

Mitchell Warns Nation.

"A nation that is too selfish to pre-
pare too Indifferent to prepare itself
TO survives too degenerate TO sur
vive, and is unlikely 10 maintain its
national existence"
Mayor Mitchell closed a speech for
preparedness with those words in a
debate before the crowd. A prolonged
wave of applause swept the audience,
nine-tenths of whom were women, as
the Mayor sat down. The Mayors ar
gument followed a carefully prepared
attack upon preparedness by OSWALD
Garrison Willard, and was followed by
an address by DR.. Anna Howard Shaw
on "The Woman's Point of View"
Pacifsts in the audience often pune
tuated the Mayors well balanced SEN
fences with applause at the semi-colon +;
but the preparedness fans always had
good round of applause coming at
the period.
"lf the doctrine of the pscihsts is
sound" said the Mayor, 1--WE should
sell every battleship, scrap our NUM-
tions and disband our army zap
plause); if the doctrine of the pa
cifists is sound. we should rely, even
more than Belgium relied, upon the
goodwill OF the nations for the pro-
lection Of our property and the safety
of the lives of our women and chill
dren" (Applause.)

lPTSHE country, says the Detroit Free Press, has
been hearing great deal the last few weeks
about the desirabity of closer relations with Cen
trail and South American republics The news
papers have been literally supplied with glowing
accounts of the wonderful possibilities Of trade
within, the western hemisphere, and our people
have been urged to take prompt and full advan-
tage Of the opportunities that arc developing to
the south. Capital is invited to finance the oper-
and merchants are asked to engage in business
for the man who seizes the chances and general
for the, United States in enlarged trade are de-
pcted in the brightest colors. 3
1t is all very attractive, and no doubt it is
wholly commendable effort to develop our com
merce but can any one who considers the proposal
help thinking about the fate of Americans who
went in person or sent their money into Mexico?
!. If it is proper to invest in Peruvian or Chilean
enterprises, why is it SO improper to have invested
in Mexican enterprises? If Americans should go
in person to South American republics to build up
business there and may receive the blessing of our
government for doing So why are Americans scold-
ed for having gone in person to the republic right
at our doors to develop its resources?
How can it be patriotic to do in Ecuador what
it was almost reasonable to do in Mexico?
And if Americans should go to South Ameri-
can rePublic, in response to the encouragement
held out by our government will they be callously
told when a revolution breaks out that they went
at their risk and will have to get out and sacri-
flee all they put in or run their own chances of be-
ing ruined and murdered? e. ~..s5

Responsibility of Directors

ROARDS OF directors Of agricultural corpora

Plantations. Managers sometimes, have not the
broader conception concerning operations that
may bring results only after the lapse of series of
years. From the nature of things the manager S

profits are his lookout.
The natural course of evolution in the sugar
industry seems to be in this direction All the
larger and stronger agencies now have their
managing directors" on whose shoulders more
Of the responsibility for continuity of policy and
practise rests. The man who stands close up to
the work, as the manager must, to be successful
has not the opportunity for broad, comprehensive
vision that carries the proposition beyond divid-
ends on crops already planted. ,.* r..
Hawaiian industrial directorates are improving
each year, as more general realization is reached
that the industry as whole is the big thing Its
momentum will carry it through the shadows, and
over the hill-tops. To do their share, boards of
directors must assume greater responsibility for
