CHICKEN RABBIS ARE
VICTIMS OF LOCKOUT
MargoIies Refuses to Discuss
Strike.

Just before darkness descended last
night Rabbi Wolf Margolies hung upon
his front door notice stating that he
had gone oyt of town over the week end.
Then he locked himself In his fiat and
barr!caded the door with a folding bed,
two bureaus and a mattress.
Hence there was no conference last
night between Rabbi Margolies and the
1871 other chicken rabbis who went on
strike on the East Side a few days ago
I'm the conviction that II they received
three cents rather than two cents for
every chicken slain the world would be
safer for democracy. Rabbi Solomon
Jaffe, president of the chicken rabbis
union, issued this bulletin last night:
THE organization of the rabb.s and
Rabbi Margolies are at odds on this
question of the chicken rabbs strike.
All the other rabbis are agreed that
three cents is not too much money for
each chicken In these hard times, but
Rabbi Margolies refuses to listen to rea-
SON"
Thus was the public attention dis
tracted from the bologna and frankfurter
makers, who threatened yesterday to call
a strike II they do not receive more pay
for fewer hours. They claim that the
mental strain incidental to sausage
making is not appreciated by the slave
driving bosses. and that at $40 a week
the profession of sausage maker Is
shockingly underpeid.

GERMAN COMPANY'S
PROFITS 400 P. G.
Secretary Bought 100000
Chemical Stock on $1,000
Salary and Dividends.

That he believed citizens in this coun-
terest In concerns located here which
we're partly owned by European capital
was a portion OF the testimony submitted
in support OF the transfer Of certain
stocks by German owners to the Roessler
& Hasslacher Chemical Company BY
William A. Hamann, secretary and
treasurer Of the concern. at the investi-
CATION before Alfred l.. Becker. Deputy
Attorney C eneral, in 81 Chambers street
yesterday.
James NJ. Clifford, attorney for the
company, produced evidence to show
that the transfer OF stock was bona
fide deal and not intended only FOR the
duration OF the war. Mr.. Hamann tes-
tilted that 5,ll4,137 marks was actually
sent to Germany In payment for the
stock and that owing to the value OF
German money at that time the Euro
pean interests realized further proht
Of $34S,000. 1t was the intention to
make a direct purchase OF 1000 shares
Of The Roessler & Hasslacher Company's
stock. and the witness said he knew OF
no string the Germans could use to de-
mand the return OF the stock at the end
of the war.
The stock in question was earning
100 per cent. at the time OF the trans
fer, and the Attorney-Generars Depart
ment finds It hard to understand why, In
the face Of such earnings. the German
interests should dispose OF their hold
ings for $500 per share. Mr.. Hamann
explai ncd that there had been a surplus
to the credit OF the company OF $1,000
900, but that the surplus was entirely
wiped out by the seizure of a shipment
OF cyanide valued at about 100000 by
the German Government.
That the stock was extremely valuable
was shown in the testimony of Mr.. Roes-
sler at a previous sitting, when he stated
he had paid for 5000. 900 worth of stock
with the proceeds Of one years salary,
interest and dividends, without adding
dollar of new collateral. His salary
was $1,000 per year. and he received 10
per cent. Of the net profits.
Witness testified yesterday that, al
though the interests here had not ex-
pected II, the Eoessier & Hasslacher
Company had been more prosperous
since the transfer took place and one
dividend of 40 per cent. had been de-
clared.
Before witnesses for the defence We're
called Joseph II. Choate. representing
the Government submitted some letters
which he had written for Oscar r. Seitz,
confidential agent OF the company. to
sign. The letters were to persons in
Switzerland with whom. Mr.. Setz testl-
fed. he had left the certificates and con-
tract embracing the suck transfer. One
OF the persons with whom the documents
were left was Mr.. Seitz's sister.
He had previously agreed to write an
order for the delivery of the original
contracts and certificates to agents or
the United States Government. 1t is
thought the exact status OF the deal
will be revealed upon receipt OF the
papers from Switzerland
The hearing will be continued at 10 80

ALBERT'S ECONOMY
SHOCK TO VIERECK
He Wanted to Buy Thirty
Morning Newspapers
for S50,000,O00.

When old DR.. Albert snapped the rub
Der band back around his Imperial Ger
man propaganda bankroll and said he
guessed he wouldn't go In for news
paper publishing on n large scale after
all two OF his advisers were disappointed
beyond words. One Of them was George
Sylvester Niereck and the other. Vierecll
says, was Or. William Bayard Hale.
For the scheme to buy UP thirty big
daiies in America with the Kaiser's
money and run them in the kaiser's
interest-a scheme of which the Federal
authorities have heard much since they
began to investigate the Evening Mai"s
ownership-is now revealed as having
been Vierecks
At the office OF Deputy Attorney-Gen-
eral Becker yesterday some details OF
the plan admitted by Eiereck when he
was under examination there were made
public. 1t appears that Viereck. when
asked IL there hadn't been considerable
jealousy between DR.. Hale and Or. Ed
ward A. Rumcly after the latter had
been put in control OF the Mail said
that such was certainly the case.
II think DIR. Hale did not approve OF
the purchase OF the Erenin0 Mail any
more than did," viereck told Mr..
Becker. II thought 1t was in effect the
buying of an evening newspaper that
was dying. My own idea was to get
control Of an important morning paper
in each Of thirty large cities Of the
United States.
MY idea was TO run the papers on
generally legitimate lines. but to put
the German side to the fore"
Viereck said he had estimated the
cost Of his String" at between 100000
600 and s50.0O0,000.
what If it had cost them that much?''
said he. at would have saved Ger
many from what she is up against now.
with the influence Of all those big papers
against it America would never have
entered the war"
You think then that what YOU could
have accomplished for Germany with
your thirty papers would have been
cheap at the price," suggested Mr..
Becker.
YES. indeed" said Viereck. They
spent more than that and got nothing
for their money!
The former Faith erldnd editor said he
believed that DIR. Hale. who had been
the real editor Of the German Informa-
ton Service in the early days of the
war, had considered he was entitled TO
the job which fell to Rumely.
Part Of the afternoon was passed by
Mr.. Becker in examining Anthony
Arnoux, who at one time was employed
on the Evening Mail as military expert.
