Socialists Can't Rent
Halls; Appeal to Police
Delegation Calls at Headquar-
ters to Say Owners Think
Meetings Are Illegal

Socialists yesterday complained to
the Police Department that there
seemed to be an impression among
owners Of public halls IN Manhattan
that the police do not wish the owners
to rent the halls for Socialist meet
ings. They asked Commissioner En-
right to lift the embargo.
The delegation visiting the Commits
sioner consisted of Aldermen A. Beck
erman and A!gernon Lee, Barnett
Wolff and Evans Clark, director of the
Socialist aldermanic delegation re-
seach bureau. The delegation was
referred to Third Deputy Commissioner
A. D. Porter. They furnished a list
Of halls in Manhattan, the owners of
which viii not now rent their premises
to Socialists. The delegation left the
follwng letter with Commissioner Por-
ter with the request that it, or sim
liar communication, be signed by Com
missioner Enrght:
THE Socialist party in this city has
as much right, under the laws and CON
stitution of the state. to hold public
meetings as any other legitimate politi-
cal party. Hall owners, agents, man
ayers and proprietors violate no law
or ordinance in renting their halls fol
meetings arranged by the duly author

World Prohibition Is Not
League Plan, Says Mayer

Levy Mayer, consulting counsel for
the wet interests in the fight to have
nullificd the prohibition amendment to
to the Constitution. declared yesterday
that in his opinion, the section in ar
ticle XIN OF the Constitution Of the
league of nations providing for pro
hibition of the liquor traffic in col
onles and territories no longer under
the sovereignty of their former gov
ernmcnts, represented regulation for
protection of barbarous races.
1t was entirely similar, he said, TO
laws existing in this country for years
prohibiting the selling of liquor to In
dians. Mr.. Mayer gave 10 indication
that he regarded this section Of the
covenant as a step toward international
prohibition.
The legal battle against the prohbi-
tion amendment, Mr.. Mayer said. would
be led in Ohio, by Lawrence Maxwell.
of Cincinnati. and in California by
Theodore A. Bell, jr, of San Francisco.

Relief Film Recommended

Mrs. Oliver Hartman, chairman of
the National Motion Picture Committee
for Armenian and Syrian Relief, yester-
day appealed for a larger attendance
at the showing this week of the RAY
ished Armenia" pictures in the ball
room of the Hotel Plaza
"While am immensely pleased at
the sale of the tickets" said Mrs.
Hartman, Il am disappointed at the
slim attendance we have been getting.
| think if my friends only knew the
nature of this picture they would not
fail to attend. 1t is not a war picture
at all. but it is picture containing
scenes that could not be shown in any
other manner. 1t shows just what the
Germans and Turks think of woman
kind the world over; it comes as near
as 1t is possible through the medium
of the motion picture, to showing the
frlghtful manner in which women
have been maltreated where the Ger
man and Turk have been permitted to
work their will.
81 consider it the paramount duty OF
every person W no buys tickets to come
and see this picture, although | am
afraid that perhaps majority OF
those who have tickets are delaying
their attendance until the last days
of the week. hope this is not the
case, as the capacity of the ballroom
is limited to 500

City Faces S25 100000 Tax
Knapp Says That Is Its Share
10 Meet State Deficit

Walter II. Knapp, president Of the
State Tax Commission, urged last
night at & meeting of the Brooklyn
Young Republican Club the imposi-
ton of small tax upon all incomes,
regardless of the source 1t would be
the faircst way. he said, Of making
up the revenue deficit, which he csti-
mated would amount to $25000,000 for
this city this year, unless the Legis-
lature discovered some new source.
Thirteen million dollars were re-
quircd, he said, to pay the interest
and provide for the principal of the
funded debt Of the state, or onc-tenth
Of per cent of the assessed value
Of the real and personal property in
the state. Under these circumstances
New York's share of the direct tax
would be about Sl7,5O0,OOO
This sum, with the amount neccs-
Sary to make up the loss of revenue
from local liquor taxes, would make
about $25, 10000 which the city would
have to raise by direct levy upon its
real and personal property assessments

Other Way TO Avoid More
Fare Ipcrcases

that direct community contribution
through the tax levy is the only prac-
teal way out of our present transpor-
tation difficulties" is reached by the

on its survey Of the street railway sit

say the first step in this direction
should be to relieve street RAILWAYS Of

We believe" the report adds, chat
the most urgent need OF the present
situation IL TO take measures that will
not only save the public from further
increascs Of fare which are now immi-
ncnt, but will permit gradual rcduc-

Confer ON Embargo

LONDON, Feb. 17.--In consequence
of protests by British manufacturers
against removing of the embargo on
American and other foreign .mporta-
tions into England, trade conferences
are now being held between British
manufacturers and importers to decide
what limits shall be placed on the
entry of foreign articles. A decision
already has been reached in the boot
and shoe and rubber and typewriter
trades and the decision of automobile
manufacturers and importers is ex-
pected this week
Sir Albert Stanley, president Of the
Board of Trade, promised a deputation
Of British manufacturers that from
March l the import embargo would
again be placed upon forty-nine ar
ticles freed from restrictions last De-
cember. 1t was on the suggestion of
Sir Albert that British manufacturers
and importers are meeting, trade by
trade. to decide upon the quantities
of foreign importations agreeable to
both sides.
The importers of American goods in
England assert that British manufac-
turers cannot supply the whole market.
They also demand the right to reopen
their business On the other hand,
British manufacturers SUPPORT the
theory that foreign Importation should
as far as possible be suppressed in
order to supply the greatest amount
of work to the returning soldiers. 1t
is believed that avoidance of industrial
troubles depends upon forbidding the
entry of foreign manufactured articles
and preventing the immigration of for
eign labor. The manufacturers also
have the moral support OF Premier
Lloyd Georges promise of protection
for British industries.
It would appear from the results of
the trade conferences already held that
the views of the manufacturers are
prevailing. In the boot and shoe trade
the importation Of American goods has
been limited to % per cent of the 1913
importation.

WASHINGTON, Feb 17.-Declaring
that an additional allotment Of $780,
100000 probably will be available to
the states during the next three years
out Of the Federal goods roads fund, the
Department of Labor. in statement
issued last night, urges the states to
get busy in availing themselves of the
uneNpended balances already allotted
them out of the Federal fund In this
way, the statement says, the surplus
OF labor can at once be taken care Of
in large measure, and business gener-
ally stimulated
appropriations made by Congress to
pay the Federal governments proper
tion Of the cost of state road building
projects now total $4S, 800 900. says the
statement, yet of the 760 road projects
which have been approved by the gov
ernment, involving 7.8696l miles of
road, less than forty-iive miles have
been constructed under the Federal id
plan.
Analyzing the status Of the various
projects for Federal aid in the different
states already approved, the state
ment shows that thirteen Projects for
New York State have been approved,
totaling 6l.02 miles at an estimated
cost OF S1,201 ,662.S5, of which the
Federal government would furnish half,
or S600,831.42. On these projects moth
ing has been done, probably owing to
the restrictions on construction obtain
ing during the war. The total allot-
ment of Federal aid for New York State
is $2,497, ,017.57.
