TARIFF WILL NOT PROTECT U. 5. DYE
 |NDUSTRY-CHOATE
German Dye Interests Look to America for Disposal of Large Surplus, Com
 mittee Is Told
EY Assoclaied Press

Washington, June 19-German dye in terests barred from France and Eng land. look to America and China for disposal of their large surplus output manufactured during the war, Joseph H. Choate, Jr., counsel for the Chemical Foundation, incorporated. told the House ways and means committee today in urg- ing a licensing system for the protec- ton of the American dye industry.
 "Something has to be done to save the dye industry and tariff alone won't do it." he declared.
 MT Choate said that anti-dumping laws would not suffice because it was so easy for the Germans to conceal their dye shipments so that it would be prac- tically impossible to detect all of them. MT. Choate read to the committee report on the outlook for the German dye interests in America, written six weeks before the United States declared war on Germany by Dr. Hugo Schweitzer, active head of the American branch of a great German house.
 He was direct secret service employe bearing the number s6S. 192, ,6S7 given him by the imperial war minister" said MT Choate.
 "IIe came here, became a citizen under orders from his government, and led the espionage and propagandist movements till his death in November. 1917"
 BANKED ON U. S.
 In the report, which was forwarded to Count von Bernstorff. Dr. schweitzer de- clared that the German dye industry would have no difficulty in holding the American market in the face of the 30 per cent ad valorem duty, but that the specific duties imposed under the law would be more troublesome He added sthe Germans must sell more than 40 per cent of the derivatives and dyes in the American markets, so the president could abolish the specific duties as the law provided would be done if 50 per cent of the home consumption was not pro- drced in America,
 hostile dye industry MT. Choate de- clared is an ideal center of espionage and propaganda. A native dye industry is necessary, he said, as it controls the fate of S2o o00, GOO, GOO worth a year of American goods which cannot be made without it's products, it alone can pro- vide and keep available in peace times an inexhaustible source of explosives and poisonous gases needed for national de- lenses, it alone can insure due progress ,ir industrial chemistry. and it alone can provide both personnel and material needed for the advancement of scientific and medicinal chemistry.
 The report of the British commission which visited the German dye works in the occupied regions along the Rhine and found the Germans ready with per ssonnel and equipment to go after for eign business immediately on the con clusion of peace, was read to the com rnittee

For the Good of
 the COmmunity

OOuT1GI-JOUIudl
 "Taxicab drivers who studiously avoid smashing lenders and otherwise are zeal ous in the discharge of their duties in the interest of their bonuses, can earn nOWa- days S2500 or more That earning capac ity is not based upon special educational training, years of experience, the acquire ment of executive ability. It is quite with in the possibilities of the calling for a young man to reach such earning capacity while he is still in his twenties. Mechanics in railroad shops have been for some time earning good deal more than achauffeur earns. Their earning capacity is matter of training, but it is possible for a man under middle age to earn S4O00 or S5OOO and veterans in the vocation complain that because it is so easy to earn Good money without undertaking responsibilities, the care-free mechanic does not, as a man in his position formerly did, want to become foreman
 "Assuredly the head of an educational institution such as the duPont manual training high school must be well trained man. What are going to be the induce ments to acquire such training if in the fu- ture young men of ambition, starting in life are brought face to face with choice between earning S3000-even S4000 or S5000-in early life without spending time acquiring educational equipment, and earning less at, and beyond, middle age, as the result of acquiring somewhat expen- sive education; an education possible by no other means than arduous application to exacting duties?
 Tt may be assumed that the educators, the professional men and all of the mod crate earners who have been caught at middle age in situation in which their capital of training, experience, diligence does not return dividends as great as the pay of men in their twenties and thirties who have chosen fields of endeavor that now are we'll paid will remain in their pres ent occupations, but unless there is to be some readjustment creative of inducement to enter the callings which formerly off, fered to well-educated and specially edu- cated, young men a reasonable certainty of better living than was obtainable without such training, what will be the dis position of young men of the next genera ton who must choose their callings?"
 In recent months negro women truckers and freight handlers at local furnaces and railroad freight depots have been paid S250 and S3 day for eight hours work, and laborers at mines and furnaces and track hands, of whom no skill or special training is required, received $3 and S3.5O day
 Contrast this with the salaries paid lief ferson county teachers-$55 to S85 a month for white teachers and much less than that for those in the negro schools. In other counties of Alabama the pay is less.
 a Is there any wonder that Alabama ranks high in illiteracy?
 In the solution of this problem the legis-
 ators have big job on hand. May they

 Reese Murray, leading council for the defense. took the evidence in the case in detail and went over it with the jury. He had spoken for only a few moments when he picked up the sIippe. bag lying on the table saying. Gen tlemen of the jury, this bag was not recovered from the rooms of Mrs Bainbridge. but had been sent to Chi cago by the Bodeker or other detective agency and mailed back to Birming- ham.
