Ship Arrives
With Mail From Danzig

The West Humhaw, an American
steamship. arrived at New York yester-
day with mail from American military
and other officials in Germany and
Poland. She came from Danzig, and
was the first ship flying an Allied flag
to dock at a German port since the
armistice.
Captain Hatfield, commander of the
West Humhaw, said things were quiet
IN Danzig during the fifteen days his
ship was there
"The Germans" he said, "laid them
selves out to fatter us Americans.
They said they we're all friends of the
United States and blamed their
troubles on the English and French.
Il have been many times in German
ports, but l never saw people looking
more prosperous or better dressed than
in Danzg. Nobody did any work. The
government paid them eight marks a
day for doing nothing, so they did not
seem to think there was any necessity
for working. They were short of soap
and sugar. If man had piece of
soap he locked it up in a safe, and they
would steal anything sweet if it was
not nailed down.
Captain Hatfield said little had been
done toward cleaning up mine fields in
the North Sea and the Baltic

State Income Tax Bill
Is Denounced by Craig
Wealth Exempted and Mill.
stone Hung on Wage Garner,
Asserts Controller
stag Correspondence


ALBANY, April 9.-Charles L. Craig,
Controller of New York City, added
his opposition to the proposed 2 per
cent state income tax bill to-day at
the final hearing on pending tax meas
ures before the Davenport special tax
investigating committee of the Legis-
lature.
ut exempts wealth and puts mill
stones on the necks of the salary and
wage earners and small business men,"
he said. "The bill strikes from the
tax rolls, and forever exempts, stocks
and bonds, money OH deposit or draw
ing interest and intangible personal
property of vast extent, including that
on which no income tax is imposed"
A number of East Side real estate
owners also opposed the bill, contend
ing that it would result in loss to their
property.
OF the advocates Robert L. Bowling,
of the real estate board of New York
City, declared the income tax proposal
was the best way Of raising necessary
revenue and relieving the burdens on
real estate.
J. Frank Zoler, of Schenectady, rep
resenting real estate owners, favored
a graduated tax on personal incomes,
for which considerable support had
developed within the last few days 1t
is, however, doubtful that the fiat rate
of per cent will be changed.

insisted on having the bill referred to
his committee. This was done.
Senator Walters declared he was un-
cquivocally in favor of the enactment
Of the measure into law. Asked by
Senator Thompson if he thought the
bill constitutional, Senator Walters re-
piled:
81 do not know. have doubts If
the contracts and franchises in exist
ence in New York City between transit
companies and the city are of nature
that will be adjudged within the pur-
view of the constitutional definition Of
contract, I do not believe this Legis
laturc or any public service commission
can do anything to abrogate any pro-
vision of the contracts.
"But the bill will enable public ser
vice commissions to investigate the
subject. 1t will enable them at least
to satisfy those who are dissatisfied
with the present situation, and it may
enable the Public Service Commission
to bring about agreement between the
transit companies and the cities that
will result in a modification of such
contracts. In Syracuse, Utica and
other upstate cities agreements al
ready have been reached. Some such
settlement may be reached in New
York City under this bill will save
the traction companies there from 60
ing to smash. 1t might work out some
change in the prcferehtials or other
clauses that would save the situation.
"The bill does not provide for fare
increase, but does open way for the
Public Service Commission to deal with
the railroad Companies and muncipal-
ties holding agreements or which have
granted franchises, with the end in
view that arrangements may be made
to save the railroad corporations from
going to smash"

No Steel Solution
Proposed by Hines
Responsibility for Prices Put
Up to Industrial Board
bv the Railroads

WASHINGTON, April 9.--In conncc-
ton with the controversy over steel
prices, it was disclosed to-day that in
conferences which have followed the
refusal of the railroad administration
to accept prices promulgated by the
Industrial Board the railroad admin
istration representatives have neither
definitely proposed new and lower
prices nor indicated whether the prin-
ciple Of standard prices would be sup
ported even with reduced scale.
This was said to mean that Director
General Hines had thrown on the In
dustrial Board the entire responsibility
for finding way out of tho situation
caused by failure of the railroad ad-
ministration to accept the proposed
prices. Another conference between
Mr.. Hines and Chairman Peek, of the
board, ls expected tomorrow

U-o'ettVtV't
WASHINGTON, April 9.-Freight
shippers have won baO, many privi-
leges which they enjoyed before the
war following a two-day hearing be-
fore Max Thelen, director of public
service of the railroad administration.
A joint committee of railroad opera
tors and representatives Of shippers
prepared memorandum which was
submitted to the conference fate to-
day and approved by Mr.. Thelen. This
is understood to be final and no
changes are expected. The text is as
follows:
-. The shipper shall not be de-
prived of his right to route his
freight over any line at the legal
rates applicable and to deliver his
freight at point of origin to such
carrier on any business day during
regular business hours.
Except as to freight specifically
routed by shipper, preferred routes
should be established, based on the
following considerations: (a) Con-
venience to shippers and consignees;
(b) Economy and expedition of move
ment; and (c) Proper recognition of
non-Federal controlled roads.
"2. Daily service will be given to
the greatest possible extent. At ship
ping points where it can be mutually
arranged by representatives of the
shipping public and the carriers.
schedules will be published covering
the movement of less than carload
freight, rendered at freight houses,
to be forwarded in through cars or
set-out cars on specified days. The
specified days shall be known as
shipping days
SO. Pedler cars shall be operated
daily, except where more limited ser
vice is agreed upon between shippers
and carriers or authorized by law
fully constituted regulating author
tiles, and schedules shall show pedler
car service maintained from shipping
points.
81. 1t is earnestly recommended
by the committee that in order to
secure improved service for the ship
ping and receiving public and to
make possible economical and eff
cient operation by the carriers. the
fullest cooperation should be OBJ
served in carrying out the principles
agreed to herein, and the committee
pledges itself to this end"
