Naturalization Laws
Amendment Proposed
County Clerk Schneider Thinks
All Members of Family
Should Have PAPERS

County Clerk William F. Schneider
announced yesterday that he is work.
ing for the amendment Of the NATURAL.
eaton laws, so that all members OF
the family of naturalized citizen may
receive naturalization papers. During
the registration for service in the
army and navy thousands of young
men were not certain whether or not
they we're citizens, as they had nc
evidence that their father had been
naturalized
Many persons lose their papers,
said Mr.. Schneider, land some OF
them make no effort to have them re-
placed. Frequently this causes trouble
Under the present system proof OF
citizenship can be obtained only at
heavy expense and loss of time"
There are now in New York County
awaiting final examination for citizen
ship 5000 Germans, Austrians and
Hungarians. These applicants must
wait until the Department Of Justice
completes its investigation of the
qualifications and character Of each
applicant. Congress has made no ap-
preparation for WORK of the Naturali
cation Bureau of the County Clerks
office and this, Mr.. Schneider said. is
causing delay. He will ask Presiding
Justice Clarke, of the Appellate Di-
vision, to assign a. justice Of the Su-
preme Court to hear the petitions.

3 More Confess
They Shared i'm
Insurance Graft
Assistant District Attorney
Says He Will Ask for In.
dictments This Week of
the Men So Far Involved

Alfred ]. Talley, Assistant District
Attorney who has been investigating
testimony concerning the "shaking
down. of workmen seeking lump sum
settlements from the State Insurance
Fund, brought out at the State Indus
trial Commission inquiry in City Hall,
announced yesterday that he had OBJ
tanned three new confessions concern
ing graft in connection with the Bu-
reau of Workmens pensaton.
These confessions supplement public
admissions in City Hall last week by
William A. Herman, accused employee
OF the commission, who gave in detail
the plans under which a ring of
crooked employees and former en-
ployes of the commission operated
The new confessions, according to
Mr. Talley, who withheld the names
Of the persons who made them. are
from two different employees and one
present employee Of the commission.
lhey we're obtained early yesterday
morning, after all-night examinations
IN the District Attorneys Office.
How Money Was Split
The confessions, said Mr.. Tallev
give details of how workmen were in
duced to split" awards for injuries
under the State Insurance Fund. Not
only were workmen who had no legiti
mate claims instructed by ring of
grafters, inside and outside the com
mission, how to act and testify before
the commission and medical examiners.
but workmen who had legitimate claims
were discouraged when they first ap-
plled, ana later, after they had prom
lsed TO "split' with the graftcrs, were
urged to reassert their demands.
nc revelations show that one man
pald $1,000 to CRATER for collecting
d $4,000 award for broken rib.
Mr.. Talley told of a workman en-
ployed by a sugar refinery who had a
niger amputated as the result of in
Juries received outside of his work.
ne had admitted this to a physician,
Mr.. Talley said, and when he first ap
peared before Herman. who was then
acting as a claim examiner, was dis
couraged. Later, according to Mr.. Tai
ley, after he had been fixed" bv n
saloonkeeper his claim was damned
through for $1,000, which, the confess
slons indicate, was split among two
employees and two former EMPLOYEES
of the commission
1t Went Five Ways
An award Of 5000 oiven for doctors
fees was split FIVE ways. between two
employees, two former EMPLOYEES Of the
commission and the saloonkeeper who
had arraigned for the shakedown. The
confessions indicate that not only were
the crafters proving on workmen, but
they even "double-crossed" each other,

Government Bureau Finds
Solution of Cost Issue
i'm Wider Utilization of
Resources Now Stagnant
Farm Promotion Urged
Elimination of Waste by
Coordination i'm Forests
and Mines Is Advocated
Nep York Tribune
Wdshin0tOu Bureau

washington bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-That the
high cost of living cannot be dealt
with permanently unless the problem
of unemployment is solved at the same
time, and that the increased produc-
ton necessary to solve both problems
cannot be obtained without making
idle lands and NATURAL resources more
accessible to labor, is the conclusion
reached in a report issued to-day by
the Department of Labor on employ
ment and Natural Resources" written
by Benton Mackaye, of the Office of the
Secretary of Labor.
No appreciate decrease in the cost
of living can be expected so long as
superficial factors only are dealt with,
Mr. Mackaye says. High prices of man
ufactured products generally reflect
either high prices for raw materials or
lack of organization in transportation
and distribution. An effective policy
must start with the land from which
materials and must follow the subse-
quent industrial processes clear
through to the consumer.
A substantial increase in production
is unlikely, says the report, so long as
the average wage Garner is unem-
ployed 90 per cent of his time and 80
per cent of our land and natural re-
sources are unused. scheme for
bringing together these potential pro-
ductive factors is presented. The main
points involved in this scheme are the
following:
/. Unemployed labor should wherever
possible be diverted to farm communi-
ties established under public super
vision, thus relieving Unemployment
and increasing the supply of foodstuffs.
These communities should be organized
SO they do not consist of isolated farm
ers. They should be concrete organi-
cations, and not assemblages of con-
fiicting interests" They should be
thoroughly equipped for cooperative
marketing and buying. Not only
should organization be applied to new
communities, but the government
should extend assistance toward organ
izing already existing communities.
2. Economic waste can be minimized
by a proper organization of forests
and mines. The lumber industry is
not yet one of forestry, or timber cul-
ture," as it is in Europe. 1t is still one
of timber mining" 1t is a tramp in
dustry and therefore breeder of
tramps The migratory lumber jack,
or timber wolf" must remain hobo
until the logging camp is supplented
by the forest community. Forest and
agricultural communities can often be
organized together. and the report goes
into some detail in showing the posi-
bilities of developing such a combina-
at 70
the East and in the West
B. Power resources must be organ
lied under public control. Water
power must be coordinatcd with coal
power. Wherever possible the white
coal" of falling water should be sub
stituted for the black coal of the under
ground. In this way vast energy

the deaths would have been twice as
great. We have developed this i'm
munlty and in this particular disease it
IS we'll for us that we have it,
an spite of our unconventional
methods of last year it is gratifying to
know that our death rate was the low
est OF all the eastern cities and, in
deed, among the lowest, if not the low
est al any great city in the world

Some cities showing death rate of
100 or more 600, according to Doc
tor Copeland, were Albany; Boston,
Philadelphia, Nashville. Washington,
pittsburgh, New Orleans and Fall
River. In all these cities the schools
and churches were closed, he adds,
continuing:

building" outside the cities. To carry
out such of this work as is done under
the Federal government a public con-
struction service is suggested.
In prefacing the report Secretary
OF Labor Wilson says the primary
requisite of any scheme of public land
development is the ILLUMINATION of
everything resembling-even remotely
the speculation in, or private appli-
cation of natural or community made
values"
The report, therefore, urges the ne
cessity for the adoption of the CON
servation principle of retaining in
public hands the ultimate control of
all atural resources, and for such re-
striction of titles as is necessary to
prevent speculation. The adoptioih of
the perpetual leasohold is recommended
as guaranteeing the right to use land
without including the right to barter it.
