The authorities said that Ligi had
been Identified by two men as one of
the agitstors who precipitated the out
law mining strike IN that district pick
ing him out Of a lineup in the Lacka-
wanna County Jail at Green Ridge. The
Government agents say also that Lig

ist meetings during the strike.
James j. Gsgan, head or the New York
bomb squad. returned TO New York city
this morning. but left three members OF
his squad here to check UP on the move
ments OF Ligi in September. II Is the be
lief or the New York authorities that
Ligi knows nothing about the explosion.
The detectives view sceptically the
Identification Saturday OF Ligl as man
who stood beside the bomb wagon ave
minutes before the explosion. II is their
belief that the printed pictures OF Ligi
were so firmly fixed on the mind of
Thomas J. Smith, the witness. that he
could not have avoided picking out the
bushy haired Italian. The Federal agents
admit that little progress has been made,
and that II is questionable whether they

We can do that but we will have to

Advocates of Scrutiny to Cut

Special Despatch 70 THr New YosK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Albany, April 20.
Motion picture men made hard
fight against State censorship to-day
when they appeared before Gov. Miller
for their last stand against the Lusk-
Clayton measure passed by the Legis-
lature and now before the Executive
1t is regarded as almost certain the
Governor will sign the bill.
Leaders in the film world pledged
their word they would purge the screen
of its evils and immortality IL they
were allowed to act of their own ac-
cord. They declared they recognized
the evil and wanted to get rid Of 1t,
but censorship would ruin some pic
ture producers and give the whole
business a black eye.
Paul ID. Cravath, counsel for pro-
ducers and stock owners; Augustus
Thomas, playwright; Almet r. Jenks,
formerly Supreme Court Justice. and
of counsel for the producers, and Ga
briel l.. Hess, secretary OF the Goidwyn
Pictures Corporation. spoke against
the bill. Representatives OF all of the
large picture concerns were present.
The act provides for a commission OF
three TO serve with salary of $500
a year each, with authority to pass on
the merits and demerts or every inch
Of film shown in this State. The &C.
proposes TO levy tax and requires the
licensing OF all films.
Censorship generally is thing to be
avoided, but there is no doubt the busi-
ness needs reformation" Mr.. Cravath
said.
Il agree that censorship is thing to
be avoided unless a greater evil is
created by it's avoidance" the Governor
commented.
There has come a big change in the
industry in the last eighteen nonths."
Mr.. Cravath continued. There is a
billion and a quarter in the business and
the stocks have been sold by reputable
bankers. They stand back OF this offer
we make to clean up the business.
I'VE agree that the public interest
requires that effective measures be taken
to prevent the exhibition of Objectionable
Aims and advertisements. The produc-
ing companies will withhold their ser
exhibiting films which have not been
approved by the editorial committee we
suggest The concerns which produce

LUSk BILL C/ARISM,
MILLER is WARNED
Would Drive Best Teachers
AUay, Protesters Assert.

Special Despatch 10 TIM NEW YoaK HEnALp
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany, April 20.
Gov. Miller listened for hours to-day
10 protests against the Llsk anti-sedl-
tion bills. Educators and representa-
tives of civic and labor organizations
told him that no other State or country
had ever before attempted such law
making. The bills are the worst kind
of Prussianism. the speakers said and
insisted the best teachers would be
driven out of the schools
The bills require the licensing or pri-
vate schools and would force all teach
ers TO undergo loyalty test The prin-
cipal objection 10 the teachers bill was
II would prevent from getting a license
any teacher who advocated a change In
our form OF government even though IL
were by peaceful and legal means.
While the belief here Is that the Gov
ernor will sign the bills. he will not act
hastily. He will receive briefs until
next Monday. Gov. Miller on several
occasions plainly showed his impatience
with some Of the opponents of the bills.
Howard $. Nudd, representing the Cit
liens Union and several other New York
civic organizations, said the Governor
under the Lusil bills would not be per-
ini-ted 20 teach because he had adyo-
GATED last autumn the repeal Of the di-
rect primary law. The Governor showed
anger when he broke in
There is on use OF wasting your
words with me on any such argument
because ~ is absurd. Our form of Gov
srnment Is republican. The Constitution
does provide for amendments and we
have nlmberless amendments. 1t seems
to me absurd that anybody should sup
iose that any court would ever construe
the language of this bill 10 mean what
you suggest. Obviously IL means the
advocacy Of some different form Of Gov
ernment. like. for example. the Soviet
Government or a monarchy"
Norris Hillauit said he appeared for
;he Rand School Of New York but that
the Governor he was no more concerned
about that school under the Lusl bill
than any other teaching institution in
the State
r do not believe that even Russia
under the Gar would attempt anything
SO reactionary to terrorize and control
the system of private education" Hill
quit said
Kaiser Wilhelm by declaring what
his schools must teach in 1899 adopted
this plan as the basis OF his school sya-
tenn. with what results we have seen"
Mr.. Nudd said. These bills will create
a nagging espionage which will gradu-
ally drive out the progressive and able
teacher and leave instea d those of more
conforming mind and shaliower con-
science

Wholesale Trade Is
Advancing Reports Say

Primary and secondary markets the textile and kim
dred lines during the week continued to show improve
ment. The gains not equal in all but
sufficiently marked to give most of the markets decidedly
firmer tone
While the upurn in business must be regarded likely
seasonal at the time the unreasonable weather
vang to the close of the week mitigated to great
extent against a seasonable advance.
Reasoning alone this lne manufacturers and wholesalers
inclined to believe that considering conditions the ad
vances in trade have been better than expected.
Retail trade is suffering from seasonabe weather to stm
uate demand for strictly fall merchandise and this is
being reflected in the wholesale markets.
Despite this purchasing for future demand to be
gaining ground with the possible exception of the womens
apparel trades In general the clothing trades lack
and vgor largely because retailers fear that
not acceptable to in sufficient volume
allow a free flow of merchandise
Retailers pressing for lower clothing prices, but
take the stand that lower prices
only from lower labor costs and productivity unit
of labor.
Plans for the holding of wholesale buyers week in
New York this month and retail buyers week in Novem-
Der progressing.
Criticism against the plan growing stronger in
quarters based largely the idea that publicity for such
plan will curtaiment of buying by the public in
anticipation reductions during the special selling week
On the other hand the plan is being adopted by
other cities. Atlanta has adopted it, but Baltimore
jected it.
Raw cotton and cotton goods advanced during the week
Raw silk also made price gains in the primary markets. and
to slightly less degree, in the local market.
Wool steady also wooden goods In the dress
delivery by Amoskeag Manufacturing Company of
the largest producers helped strengthen the market and
checked tendency secondary distributors to cut

long heralded building boom has
shifted it's tense from the future TO
the present.
1t needed Just this one statistical
touch to complete the proof that the
construction movement has assumed
proportions generous enough to JUS
tify the use of the term boom.
Other evidences had accumulated,
but they lacked the final ring Of
authority. For instance, the records
in the various municipal building de-
partments showed an avalanche OF
plan filing. But these figures, while
significant, can never be accepted as
an absolute measurement Of the size
Of building wave.
As a well-known wit in the build
ing world said: There's many a
factor twixt the plan and contrac-
tor" Certainly more than one ro-
bust young building project has
found premature grave in the
building superintendent record. On
the other hand. the awarding Of con-
tracts means that the project has
passed safely through the initial dan
gers and has travelled at least 90 per
cent Of the way toward materialisa-
ton.

Answer--COntinenta Motors, In our
opinion. IL quite as good a specula'
ton as United Retail Candy stores,
As a matter of fact. we should
take our chances with It a while
longer. The business has been In
operation since 1902.

Muskegon and Detroit, are said to
be the largest in the United States

Gently acquired a contract to supply

This should develop into a very
large business in itself, in addition
to the company's other business. The
common dividend was passed last
March and last December 1t was re-
duced from Q per cent to per cent
owing to curtailed business and re-
duced profits.
But that malady affected the

IF the present market trend marks

Advancing metal prices, coupled
with lower operating costs, make
the outlook now brighter for mining
