BIZ the Associated Press.

BERLIN. Oct. 22.-The Cabinet headed
by Chancellor Wirth resigned office
to-day
DR.. Wirth was the youngest and
seemingly the most ambitious of a
long line of postwar Chancellors. He
and his Cabinet took office last May
with the expressed determination Of
carrying out the terms of the London
ultimatum.
The Cabinet retired wholly OF It's own
volition at the conclusion of a three
hour session in which the Chancellor
and his colleagues gave the Entente de-
cision on Upper Silesia final considera-
ton without voting any recommends
tons concerning 1t. The Ministry's de-
cision to retire followed closely upon
the visit of President Loebe of the
Reichstag and Other leaders of the
coalition parties to the chancellery.
President Loebe and the coalition
leaders will confer with President Ebert
tomorrow on the problem of the forma-
tion OF new Cabinet. The parlia-
nentary situation tonight presents a
picture OF utter confusion. No prediction
can be hazarded as to the eventual sue
cessors of the retiring Ministers. The
Majority Socialists are firm in their at
tltude that the Upper Silesian issue did
not warrant the overthrow OF DR.. Wirth.
The issue on which the parties which
will form the new Cabinet now have
agreed concerns the question as to
whether Germany will avail herself of
the opportunity to enter into negotia-
tions officially with the Poles, leaving
FOR later adjustment the matter of Yield
ing to the other conditions of the En-
tente's decision.
The Democrats favor the despatch of
German envoy for the purpose of at
least ascertaining the temper of the
Poles and to canvass the situation In
other respects. The German Peoples
party does not favor the appointment of
German Commissioner The attitude
of the Clericals Is still doubtful.
The new Cabinet, it is expected, will be
constructed by Thursday, the date fixed
by the Entente for the appointment oil
commission to represent Germany in
connection with the drafting Of the eco
nomic convention.
THE German Cabinet, headed by DR..
Joseph Wirth as Chancellor, was
formed May 10 of the present year. sue

and under his Cnancellorship the actual

Fears had been expressed, however. that

SEARCH EVEN SPUDS
ON SUSPECTED SHIP
u. s. Customs Officers Train
Searchlight on Eyes of
Innocent Potatoes.

Just after the Red Star liner Lapland
docked last evening at the Chelsea piers
Inspector Albert Hokenson, chief of the
searching squad of the Surveyors Of
flee. and SIX of his men went aboard.
Displaying their badges. they entered
the purser's office, in front of which
passengers We're waiting for mail and
kilograms and proceeded to search the
whole office. They opened the safe and
searched the contents with great care,
even examining the ships papers and
the ships money.
Capt. Henry Lewis. marine superin-
tendent of the Red Star Line. demanded
the authority of Inspector Hokenson to
search the safe, declaring that the Lap
land was British ship. Hokenson rr-
piled that he was acting on the author
'ity of the United States Customs SER
vice and the search proceeded
In addition to the office of Joseph
Caporin, the purser, vthe customs men
searched his cabin minutely. They
found only two neckties, made in Eng
land, and a lady's mesh bag of German
silver. These were not seized, as the
purser had shown no intention of bring
ing them ashore. They also questioned
him about some canoes of little value
which the purser has carried with him
for six or seven years. Caporin ex-
planned that he had bought them in
Rome years ago and not at Antwerp
the port from which the Lapland sailed
The customs men then searched the
room OF Capt. John Bradshaw, the COM
mander, and that Of the first officer
They also entered the cabin Of Chief
Steward J. Van Damme. After going
through his belongings with great care
their attention was attracted by some
sample potatoes. They examined these
with great care. using a big nashligh,
and looking over each eye of the vege-
tables. Nothing suspicious was found
Inspector Hokenson would not say
whether he was acting on his own In
itiative or whether he had received spe-
cial orders from higher UP to search
the ship. He would not tell, either, for
what he was searching.
The ship brought S65 passengers, in
cluding Lieut. Gen. de Jacques and
Baron de Cartier de Machienne, Belgian
ambassador to the United States, who
were taken off the ship down the bay
by the welcoming committee
The Baroness de Cartier did net dis
embark with her husband, but with Mrs

STRIKE IN PACKING
INDUSTRY IN DOUBT
Vote Clues Discretionary
PoUer to Union Leaders.

Special Despatch to TIE New York HERALD.
CHICAGO. Oct. 22.--Whether Chicago's s
packing industries will be tied up by a
strike remained doubtful to-day. follow
ing completion Of strike vote by the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workers of North America.
While the vote was In favor of a
strike by majority Of 31.s64. leaders
refused to say whether a date for the
walkout would be set Immediately. The
vote. according to c. J. Haynes. presi-
dent of the union, was 35.354 for a
strike and 3,490 against.
The ballot presented to workers. ac-
cording to President Haynes. was a
blanket authorization to union officials to
call a strike III In our opinion 1t be-
comes necessary"
Executives and representatives OF
trades allied with the butcher and meat
cutters are scheduled to meet In confer
ence next week, at which time the ques-
ton of acting on the strike authorization
may be discussed. Mr.. Haynes said. He
intimated that the probability of calling
the strike at once was remote.

FREIGHT RATES CUT
ON FARM PRODUCTS
Continued from First Page.


testified that If the wage burden. as
II rests after the decrease OF APP
proximately s40o. 900. 900 as of last
July l, were to be reduced by an
other billion dollars IT would be
possible for the carriers to reduce
freight approximately IS per cent.
and still earn the return upon in
vestment in their property which
the transportation act contemplates.
Such a reduction. of course, would
reestablish railway credit. enable
carriers to secure the moneys ur-
gently needed to maintain adequate
service and relieve the distress of
disappointed multitudes of investors
in railway securities.
1t was further tested that after
such reduction the organized rail-
road employees would still enjoy an
Increase which compares favorably
with the increase which organized
labor in other industries has enjoyed
and of course far in excess of in
creases enjoyed by labor generally.
II was further testified that such an
increase would be In harmony with
the increased cost Of living which
has taken place.
The right and power TO reduce
wages rests initially with the car
riers. They have no excuse in main
tainin., the wage levels which they
say are too high. II they believe
them to be too high they should
take steps to reduce them. Until
they make the effort they are not
entitled to refer to wages as excus-
ing high rates. The labor board
was created to determine such ques-
tions, and the shippers have the
right to resort to that tribunal.
The commission apparently takes tn
view that that consideration of furthe
wage reductions can and should b
forced before the Railroad Labor Board
1t is against proposals for future reduc
tons that organized railroad labor pro
poses to strike.
Notice was given to the railroads b.

DISTRUSTS ARMS FARLEY

in Coming to America With
Delegation.

Henry Ford was in the city yester-
day on brief visit to his New York
offices, and leaves this morning by
automobile for Detroit. He will make
short stop at Troy to inspect his big
water power plant at Green Island.
Mr.. Ford does not believe the rail
strike will come eff. He is of the
opinion that the roads. at the last
minute, will make concessions to the
men. Back of the strike he sees what
he describes as the sinister influence
Of international Jewish bankers, who
he believes have indicated their
willingness to finance a strike. and
have In other ways spurred on the
union leaders and delegates The in
tention Of the banking group, he says.
is to influence market conditions to
their advantage-to force certain COM
modities down and others up.
Thinks Workers Averse.
Mr.. Ford does not think the rank and
file of railroad workers desire strike.
but have been dragged into one by their
leaders. He said:
''The difficult railroad situation in
which we find ourselves has been brought
about by bad financial management. The
people who own the roads have cared
more about fat dividends than they have
about efficient operation, and the result
is the industrial chaos we see. In the
first place. the roads have too many
employees to operate efficiently. This
is particularly true of their office per-
sonnel, but they've got more men than
they need out on the rails. too"
Mr.. Ford said he had cut down the
number of employees on his own rail-
road from 1900 to 1900. and that most
OF these had been dropped from the
Office rolls.
The big roads have been handled too
much as a banker handles things. and
not enough as a pure job of transpor-
tation, the motor car manufacturer
thinks. He doesn't believe in Govern
ment ownership or operation of the
roads. in spite of his great dissatisfac-
ton with the manner In which they
have been administered.
Favors Competition.
The Detroit man would have the com
petition between roads as free as pos
sible, and he hazarded the belief that
about the best thing that could happen
would be for somebody to take one
road and handle 1t right. He didn't
say that he meant to show the railroad
men what's what with his own D., T.
and ]. He went on:
TITS possible that the roads aren't
at all averse themselves to this impend-
ing strike. 1t would enable them. for
one thing. to force up the price Of their
COAL
Mr.. Ford regards the approaching con-
ference on the limitation OF armament
with considerable distrust. He asserted:
II don't like the idea Of Lloyd George
coming over here. II he does, we'd bet
ter watch out. / feel sure that his
purpose In attending the conference is to
attempt to effect the cancellation of Eng
land's'debts to this country
What we ought TO do Is to shoot the
whole works. I mean that this country
is big enough and ought to be brave
enough to disarm completely. That's our
opportunity for real leadership

to the empire, is the nation now free
from all economic apprehension? The
answer is of course no. Should Japan
then look about for a fresh acquisition
Of territory? What about emigration ?
Japan proposed and failed to put thru
the principle Of racial equality at the
Gee peace conference in Paris. The
proposal deserved approval il its aim
was to establish an abstract principle,
but was wrong in its motive if it was
intended to afford q solution of the
immigration problem.
Again, to send people abroad in
order to profit by their savings is a
mean way to enrich a country. And it
,is only natural that a country Of high
er civilization should object to such
emigrants. Such a solution Of the prob
lem of over-population is unworthy
of Japan, which claims to be a great
power, besides being quite impractic-
able under present day international
conditions"
