y. Y. Women Accused of
Giving Funds to I. w. w.
L. 5. Bangs Says L. S. Should
Investigate Wealthy Parlor
Radicals Here

Speaking before the Womens Repub-
!ican Club yesterday, Francis S. Bangs.
OF the Bar Association, said the gov
ernment, in investigating the I. W. W.
and BolsheVik movements in this coun-
try mrht we'll turn its attention to
walthy New York women, amateur and
dllletante radicals, who are supplying
the funds.
Among the women Of wealth in New
York" said Mr.. Bangs, "there are many
who find no better use for their money
than in financing the foes of American
institutions'
He also declared that many women's
clubs were legitimate subjects for gov
ernmcntal investigation, because they
were allowing themselves to become the
tools of eloquent, personally interested
atheists who are enemies of America, and
striving to overthrow American institu-
tons by polluting the public spirit, es-
pecially of young women.
Mr.. Bangs discussed the league of ma
tions, joining Francis Winslow, former
District Attorney Of " estchester County,
in opposing the league covenant.
II believe he said, "thdt the people
Of this country believe in league of
nations, but a league such as won the
war"
Mr.. Winslow said that Republican
Senators would see that 80 treaty was
ratified that violated the American for
eign policy

Power Urged by Rebels

Opponents of the Carranzista GOV
ernment in Mexico, who spoke last
night at the monthly dinner of the
Council of Foreign Relations at the
Hotel Astor, maintained that armed
Intervention on the part of the United
States in Mexico would be futile and
disastrous. Three prominent Mexlcans.
who formerly held office in the Re
public. declared that the counter-revo-
luton led by Felix Diaz held the prom
Use of constructive development. and
urged recognition for It as a peiiiger-
ent power.
NJ. CARA Aldape, one-time Secretary
OF the Interior of Mexico. declared that
coincide wAh those of the United
Sta.es and other countries. and con
cluded that the true solution of the
Mexican problem must consist in a
proper coordination of those interests,
and no solution which harms or lg-
nores the interests of one or the other,
can be the right or permanent one.
And this. IN my judgment.' Mr.
Aldape added, lis precisely why armed
intervention would fall to solve our
problem, for the mere mention Of in

Ramon Prida, one time chairman Of

IN this view. Jose CASTILLO. ir.. a

armed intervention were ATTEMPTED.

Professor William r. Shepherd Of
Columbia University, who presided,
corrected the impression that he ia
yored intervention, saying he instead
favored active cooperation between the
two nations. Intervention had been
advocated by speakers at the last
meeting on Mexico.
A special message to the American
people from President Carranza was
brought by Samuel G. Inman, sccre-
tary of the Committee on Coopcra-
ton IN Latin America, who lust re-
turned from Mexico
Mr.. lnman reported the Mexican
President as saying:

"The Buffalo situation throws light

cheerful optimism of those who argue
that industial conditions will take care

stration of the truth Of my statements
"These outbursts may take on more
menacing turn within the next few
months if the situation is not allowed
to drag along in its present state. The
same newspapers which carried the
account of the Buffalo disturbance
printed the news of the memorandum
submiteted to the Overman committee
by Postmaster General Burleson, tell
ing of the organized propaganda that
is being carried on by radical organi-
cations to overthrow the government
and bring about a Bolshevist revolu-
ton. The ranks of the unemployed
form fertile field for the spread of
this doctrine.
The Buffalo affair throws a curious
light on the action of the last Congress
in failing to pass the deficiency appro-
priaton asked for by Secretary Of
Labor Wilson on behalf of the en-
ployment service, or to make any pro
vision for its continuance during th-
next fiscal year. Despite this failure
the service will continue to operate as
long as its funds hold out and efforts
are being made by the Department of
Labor to obtain sufficient fundsto carry

opportunity to observe the need for the
government agency Without the in
tervention of the L. S. Employment
Service the situation to-day would be
far more serious.

in Buffalo has developed further than
IN other sections of the state there
are grounds for believing that similar
disturbances may break out elsewhere.
Reports received to-day from the Al
bany district show that there are
$500 out of work there, against 5000

December. In Syracuse unemployment
has increased from 1000 in December

WASHINGTON, March ll.-The
sl5o,o0o,o00 ordnance project at Neville
Island, near Pittsburgh, the govern
ment's largest single ordnance under
taking during the war, Will be entirely
abandoned within the next few months,
Chief of Ordnance Williams announced
to-day The buildings which have been
erected vii! be torn down and the
island restored to its original owners.
Denial was made Of the report that
Neville Island would become the prin-
cipal ordnance storage depot of the
Eastern United States. The island will
continue to be used for storage pur-
poses so long as needed to relieve con
gcstion at other ordnance dcpots, but
as soon as this need IS over the mate
rial now stored there viii be removed
Announcing the plan of abandoning
the project, the CHIEF of Ordnance
said:
"All contracts with the United States
Steel Corporation for construction
work at Neville Island have been can,
cellcd. Tools and other equipment
nearing completion will be finished
and transferred to various government
arsenals so far as required by the
peace time programme of the Ord
nance Department. Other tools suit
able for commercial uses probably Will
be put on the market.
"The Neville Island project as orig
inally planed by the Ordnance Depart
ment, was ono of the largest single
undertakings Of the war. Its estimated
cost was $l50,000, ,00O and in size and
capacity it was to be larger than either
the krupp Works at Essen or the
Creusot Works in France. 1t was
planned with a capacity sufficient to
produce fifteen l4-inch 5O-caibre rifles
a month, and 10000 l4-inch and l6-inch
projectiles a month. OF these immense
rifles, l65 were to be turned out in
time to be transported to France and
on the trlng line before May | of next
year
"The plans called for buildings COW
ering an area of 574 acres, and a per
manent force of more than 10000
men. While intended during the war
for the manufacture of 14-inch guns
only. the plans provided equipment
capable of handling 16-inch and l8-
inch guns. The immensity of the ma
chinery required is indicated by the
fact that an lS-inch gun weighs ap-
proxlmately $4,000 pounds

Unrest Is Laid
To Reports OF
U.S..JobBureau
Ernst, Industrial Chairman
of City Club, Says lnac-
c,lracy Is an 'Outrage''
Calls Service q Failure
Declares Its Statistics Are of
No Avail Should Grave
labor Crisis Arise

The Washington administration Of
the United States Employment Service
was charged yesterday with failing to
procure accurate statistics as to unem-
oloyment in this country.
Morris Ernst. chairman of the City
Clubs industrial committee, who made
.he charge, said the inaccurate state
mcnts put cut from Washington had
upoD the country in that:
(. They had tended to unsettle bust
ness.
?. They have created tendency to
lower wages.
3. They have been, in some measure,
responsible for the consequent indus
trial unrest.
Should q grave unemployment crisis
arise in this country" said Mr. Ernst,
"and be it said that it does not exist
at present, the Federal Employment
Service would be unable to anticipate
such an event by any accurate sta
t!stics.
Calls Service a Failure
although the Federal Employment
Service is the government agency, re-
sponsible for the procuring of infor-
nation concerning the labor market,
the officials in charge in Washington
have not only failed to establish sys-
tenn through which accurate figures
could be obtained, but they have even
misconstrued and faulty interpreted
the statistics, such as they are, which
have been gathered.
Ample time has been allowed the
employment service to so organize as
to obtain reliable information on the
employment situation. 1t has failed.
THE vast amount of information
published by the service from Wash
ington referring to unemployment
areas and the number of placements
made in proportion to the number of
persons registered, is misleading.
Statements issued by Arthur Woods,
delegated by Secretary of War Baker
to represent the War Department in
connection with rehabilitation, seem
to Indicate that he realizes the situa-
ton is not as it has been pictured by
the Employment Service.
Reports Have Brought Unrest
"If the statements issued by the
Employment Service from Washington
in the three months preceding March
l were not accurate and based on hon
est facts an outrage has been perpet-
trated which has tended to unsettle
business and has created 81 tendency
toward the reduction of wages and
consequent unrest
There is no government agency OBJ
tanning information on unemployment
which might show tendency toward
greater employment or toward greatly
increased unemployment.
"Of course, it Is impossible for anv
government agency to definitely state
the number of unemployed in this
country at any one time The En-
ployment Service only records those
people who apply and the mediums Of
private agencies, newspaper advertis-
ing and hiring at the gates still pre-
vail.
$50 long as the Federal Administra-
ton fails to establish proper rules for
recording registrations their reports
on registrations do not tell the whole
story
For example an Office dealing with
day labor records as separate regis
trations person who applies for help
each day and is placed each day. Any
one familiar with employment work
realizes distinction must be made
New-York tribune., 1919-03-12
between renewal registrations and
rect registrations.
Registrations Duplicated

between renewal registrations and di-
rect registrations
Registrations Duplicated
Although this seems like small
item, the number of persons placed
at day work where each day is con-
sidered a separate placement amounts
to a very large total.
"Another factor that must be taken
into cons liberation is the egistration
III the same offices of the same appll-
cant at approximately the same time.
In cities having moro than one Of
flee, the number of such Implications
is admittedly very large The most
important reason for disbelieying the
figures issued from Washington are
that many persons entering employ
mcnt offices are never registered,
either through lack OF time or some
other reason, and when those regis
tered are referred to positions, in
many instances mere reference to
a job is reported as actual placement
This objection to the administra-
ton Of thc employment service is only
an additional result Of the failure Of
autonomy. The director general fails
to realize that unemployment is cs-
sentially local problem III so far as
it relates to the placement Of men
out of work
"Undcr definite rules and standards
laid down by the Federal Adm;nistra-
ton and under budget allotted to
each district, the local director, su-
perintendcnts and advisory bodies
