To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Next Saturday January II, close my
old NEW YORK HERALD newspaper route.
which has been in my possession forty
years, but my predecessors go all the way
back to 1885. So you see I am an old
relic.
Now prohibition wipes out everything.
The route is Chambers street, Battery.
north to south, Broadway to South street.
east to west
The NEW YORK HERALD has been de-
livered through this route to some of the
most distinguished men OF the country.
My predecessor numbered such as Daniel
Webster, Calhoun. Clay. in the forties anS
fifties. Presidents Van Buren,, Tyler,
later fifties. Before the war Robert E.
Lee, Stonewall Jackson. Black Horse
Harry. Breckenridge. Douglas &C.. were
served in the old Stevens House.
personally l have delivered the New
YORK HERALD to two Presidents Of the
United States. U. S. Grant and Grover
Cleveland. l have q list of such names
as Edwin Booth. Lester Wallack, Joseph
Jefferson and numerous others, which I
assure you would give good reading mat
ter to the present generation.
Before going out Of business / would
like to thank the New YORK HERALD for
the kind and considerate way it has
treated me the last forty years. and as
sure you that no newsdealer ever had a
squarer newspaper than the NEW York
HERALD to deal with. 1t has always been

Wholesale Dry Goods Men Told u. S.
Wilde Short on Hosiery This Summer

The rise in the price of yarns in the last
five years OF more than 500 per cent and
the fact that there will be no hosiery yarn
at all for 1890 are causing great apprehen-
sion among dry goods merchants through
out the country, according to Joseph p.
Voorhees, of this city, speaking yesterday
before the opening session OF the sixteenth
annual convention of the National Whole
sale Dry Goods Association at the Wal
dorf-Astoria Hotel. lie said the outlook
fr sufficient production Of stockings was
not encouraging
This statement coupled with those made
recently by hosiery dealers, make a dis
NAL prospect for the future in the matter
OF stockings. and may result. II was said.
in the fad OF Paris reaching the United
states carly this sunmor--that OF men and
women and children going stockingless.
~ pair OF stockings that could be bought
for twenty-five cents five years ago cost
you today si.50 q pair. The higher grade
stockings have risen to the same degree"
Mr.. Voorhees, said.
Speaking Of industrial unrest in the great
drygoods factories throughout the coun-
try, John Il. Lesher declared that the
production of knit goods in 1920 would not
be rs great as In 1919. He attributed the
differences between employers and en-
ployes TO superintendent and foremen
who he said, were not intelligent and did
not have the faculty of properly repre-
senting both sides"
The convention will last through Thurs
day. and In the four days many of the inn
portant industrial problems now before
the country will be discussed

BLUES" AND "REDS."

To THE Eprro. OF THE HERALD:-
He that I should be proud to call my
friend, "Old Democrat of Virginia has
struck upon an excellent point in his
HERALD article when he refers to his worry
about the Blues" not the Reds" The
Blues" or prohbitionists, are more to be
feared than the Reds ! am in a posi-
ton to know. as I handle very many labor
ing men. and their mutterings Of discon-
tent because they cannot get their daily
grcg are getting very dangerous. They
are not to be blamed or censured; their
freedom has been taken from them.
The Blues" are far more dangerous
than the Reds" They are strongly
bs cked by low born financial distributors,
of graft, and they should be deported at
once, for unless that is done the United
States, former land Of freedom, will not
be fit for the descendants of our Revolu-
tionary fathers to live in. and the worst
penalty that we could deal out to the
REDS" would be to force them to stay
here and condemn them to life sentence
in a land of prohibition.

TEACHERS PAY.

To THE EpIroR or THE TILRALp:-
have been constant reader OF tho
NEW YoaK HERALD for more than fifty
years. during which time 7 have always
found it the champion OF the working
class.
now wish the HERALD would take
IN the cause OF the teachers In the ytt-
lie schools and find out why they are
not paid their salaries for December.
It Is tn. cause OF a great deal Of hard
ship and annoyance. as great many have
their rent to pay and other expenses to
meet and some have TO meet a mortgage
now would suggest that teacher
bring a suit against the city for interest
due on his salary for every day until II il
paid. Then you would see how promptly
the teachers would get their pay when
IL is due J. Il. SMITH.

PLIGHT OF THE PORT CUSTOMS SERVICE.

Alarmed by the threatened breakdown of the
customs service Of this port owing to the made
quate pay and the resulting designations of it's en-
ployes, important business organizations are unit
ing in strong representations to Congress for the
immediate relief Of the situation. Unless this
relief is forthcoming the collapse Of this great
agency Of government is imminent and the bust
ness of the port will sustain serious injury AS it
Is, imports are not being handled and cannot be
handled, with the celebrity so necessary to the cal
culations Of firms and companies engaged in the
strenuous competitions Of extending commerce, for
piers and wharves congested, shipments are
delayed and the proper turnabout Of oceangoing
vessels delayed.
The Collector of the Port, Mr. Byron r. Newton.
is striving in all ways to avert the impending
breakdown and has come almost to an impasse
where he is forced to assert that every day lost
in according this relief is costing the Port of New
York thousands of dollars. AS quoted by the
Marine Journal. Mr.. Newton declares that while in
the previous fiscal year New York handled nearly
sixty per cent Of the country's foreign commerce,
in the year ended June 80. 1919, its share fell to
forty-five per cent with the possibility that by
June. 1920, it will drop still more Inadequate
dock facilities" he continues, account for part Of
this loss, but the present condition Of the customs
service is an active factor in this unsatisfactory
situation"
It is depIorablc but true that the scale of wages
Is practically the same as II forty years ago,
and the slight bonus added in certain conditions
in order to offset tho high cost of living docs not
in most cases meet the advance Of the item Of rent
alone, The force of employees is twenty per cent
less than II was ten years ago, and the labors
have multiplied in a marked ratio. The final re-
suit of this niggariness is that at the present re-
Enumeration customs inspectors guards and clerks
cannot support their families or even dress them
selves as the regulations Of the service require.
In consequence of all this the morale Of the force
is seriously impaired and designations sent In
daily, with no field from which requirements can

THE UNITED STATES NOT ALONE.

There are several circumstances connected with
the exchange of notifications Of the peace treaty
which should correct the idea that the United
States is alone in her abstenton from agreeing to
the compact As matter of fact not half the
Powers who declared war against Germany took
part in the formal acceptance of the treaty.
First, there are the self-governing dominions Of
the British Empire-Australia New Zealand
South Africa and Canada, besides India Mr..
Hughes the Australian Premier has objected to
parts Of the treaty, and General SHUTS, it will be
recollected, when he signed for South Africa on
June %, declared he did so with reservations All
five states, however have ratified the treaty-In-
dia through the India Council. Some may argue
that the British Premiers signature covers the
domipions. But in that case why were they al
lowed to sign the treaty separately? It ought to
be one thing or the other.
There were thirty three states entering the war
for civilization, but only fourteen notifications
exchanged last week If we include the
British dominions covered by the Premier's
signature there would be only nineteen. What of
the other fourteen nations?
First, there is China with her population of
800, 100000 whose delegates refused to sign the
original treaty on account of the clause giving
Shantung to Japan. Then there is the Hedjaz
whose King millions Of Mohammedans recognize
as the true caliph. There is Portugal who fought
valiantly on the western front, and Greece, whose
soldiers broke the Teuton line in Macedonia and
forced Bulgaria out Of the war. Roumania and
Jugoslavia did not appear, and their attitude is
doubtful. Little San Marno, who sent 800 soldiers
to the Allies and Liberia, whose capital was
shelled by a German submarine were not repre-
scented. On this side of the Atlantic there are
Cuba, Hayti, Honduras Nicaragua and Ecuador

Decidedly the United States is not alone

CITY BUDGET.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE HERALD
Why do you suggest editorially that the
1891 city budget should not be 500, Co., 600?
It will exceed IT. What are the news
papers, the realty and business interests
doing to prevent it?
To prevent a 1921 $500. 100000 budget and
more what is wanted is "a repeal Of ex-
listing and prohibition against future
wandering financial legislation; C2) aboli-
ton OF county and borough government
as useless: (3) abolition Of Board OF Al
dermen as useless; az prohibition against
those voting money who spend II.
The politicians oppose No. /. The poh-
ticians and a majority Of the voters op-
pose Nos. 2 and 3.
The people Of New York city get only
what they deserve-the most extravagant
and inefficient government on earth

HONOR IN GERMANY.
fE Eorroe OF THE HERALp:-

To THE Eorroe OF THE HERALD:-
Have read that Germany will refusertB
give up her criminal war leaders to the
Allies, and that a slogan is going through
Germany, Save our honor" What q
farce coming from nation which does
not know the meaning Of the word honor!
A nation which refuses to punish its
criminals is doubly dishonored.
The war of 1S70-n was one Of shame
for Germany. Well should we remember
what took place in this last war; every
thing that the Boche did then and since
has proved to the world beyond the ques
ton Of doubt that Germany IS nation
without principle or honor
AS one Of our eminent clergymen said
after his return from France. Germany
has practised the Ten Commandments and
left out the word not!

IN BERcER,s DEFENCE.

Representative Mann, Of Illinois, made the best
and only defence Of Victor l.. Berger rejected a
second time by the national House of Represent
atives because he stands convicted Of crime
against the nation. Representative Mann said
TO me the question is whether shall
MAINTAIN lnvlolate the representative form
OF government where people who desire
changes in the fundamental or other laws Of
the land shall have the right to be repre-
sented on the floor of this House when they
control majority Of the votes in the Con
gressional district 1t is not our
duty to elect Representative from this
congressional district This is the duty of
the people back home. We cannot take the
attitude or refusing to permit the voice of
the people or district to be heard by their
own selection with safety to the future of
the country
Inc real issue Is not that Berger belongs to the
Socialist party, although he admits that the So
cast party opposed.t the war, the recruiting Of sol
dlers and the draft laval Of which gave comfort
and aid to our enemy. The issue is deliberate and
continued violation Of the law and of the language
OF the federal constitution. Mr. Mann conceals
the issue under cloak of maintaining inviolate
the representative form of government" If the
Fifth congressional District Of Wisconsin force
the House to seat convict, likewise it force
the House to seat minor, felon, Communist
or Bolshevist. There is no limit the moment it
is denied that the House has the right to determine
the qualifications Of it's members
The Socialist committee in Berger's district has
issued statement that the people will continue to
reflect Berger until Hades freezes over" By
the same token and with the same drop in tempera-
ture In view, loyal majority in the national House
OF Representatives will reject Berger The freez
ing process will last just as long in Washington
in the Fifth Wisconsin district In the meantime
that district will be unrepresented in the lower
House of Congressman to that extent will be out
Of the Union.
