Albert D. Lasker of Chicago has
accepted the Craftsmanship of the
United States Shipping Board. Presi-
dent Harding first offered the place
to Mr.. Lasker a fortnight ago. but
the latter came to Washington and
urged the President to appoint Walter
c. Teagle. president of the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey. Mr.
Lasker believed that Teagle knew
problems of the government than
anybody else. and was even willing
to act as an assistant to Mr. Teagle
in order to persuade the latter to
take the job.
The President yielded to Mr..
Lasker's advice and made final effort
to get Mr.. Teagle. Everything was
arranged satisfactorily. when the man
who was to take over MIR. Teagle's
work in the Standard Oil Company
suddenly became ill and the doctors
advised a prolonged trip to Europe.
Mr.. Teagle couldn't therefore leave
his work. and declined the position.
Mr.. Harding consequently fell back
on Albert Lasker. and insisted that the
latter accept. as originally planned.
Mr.. Lasker admitted that he didn't
know a thing about ships. but the
President was of the opinion that
technical assistance could be procured
SO long as the man at the head of the
Shipping Board was an organizer and
a business man.
Settles Tangled Problems.
Mr.. Lasker is president and owner
of the Lord & Thomas Advertising
Agency but is also one of the principal
owners in many big business enter
prises. He is part owner of the
Mitchell Car Company. Quaker Oats.
Van Camps. the Chicago Cubs base ball
club and several other companies. He
Is the author of the famous Lasker
plan by which the warfare in base ball
which developed last winter was finally
settled. 1t was Lasker who first sug-
gested Judge Landis as the arhiter of
base ball disputes. and he has the hap
py faculty of being able to settle
tangled problems without much fuss
OF feathers.
Throughout the last three years. Mr.
Lasker has stood beside Will Hays. a
sort of man behind the gun. His ad-
vice and judgment, which won him
business world, were turned to poll
tics. He made several trips around
the country with Will Hays, when the
latter first started out to win Congress
for the republicans early In 1918. He
was a .stancr supporter of Hiram
johnson for President. and is said to
have financed the latter's campaign at
Chicago After the convention. how
ever Lasker, alongside Hays, continued
his work for republican success, and
was the genius of the republican adver-
tising and publicity campaign last
summer. In this work he frequently
came in contact with President Hard
ing and won the latter's esteem and af-
fection.
Mr. Lasker is prominent in Illinois
politics and Is one OF the principal
mick. AS a business man, his great
est faculty is quick decision and pene-
trating Judgment. Man Many a big h bust Isl
advice. It is said that at the. age of
twenty five Lasker was earning $1,000

was rendering as a business adviser.
