BUREAU OF STANDARDS
FACES INVESTIGATION
HirshfieId viii Look Into Re-
port of Partially.

David Hirshfield. Commissioner Of
Accounts, announced yesterday an in
vestigatlon into the Bureau OF Stand
ards. which hears and settles appeals
from decisions of the various building
bureaus and the Fire Department in re-
gard to buildings throughout the city.
Started In 1918 to correct abuses which
Mayor Hylan had heard existed when
he first took office, Commissioner
Hirshfield said, It had been suspended
when John p. Leo became chairman OF
the board soon afterward. The sus-
pension was to allow Mr.. Leo to reor-
ganize the bureau according to his own
ideas.
Cleaning Commissioner and w. e.
Walsh, who succeeded him, asked for
an investigation about year ago.
John II. Schreier. lease holder OF an
apartment house at 345 West Fifty
fourth street, said he had been unable
to stop favorable action on appeal that
permitted the Buick Automobile Com
pany to build garage and repair shop
near by. Then the Commissioner OF
Accounts had Mr.. Schreier testify that
the garage had been erected by Smith
& Leo. the junior partner OF which was
Martin Leo. son Of John p. Leo.
Samuel Richman. q Hirshfield ac-
countant, testified that Peter Joseph
McCann. Samuel Rosenberg and Frank
J. Schefcik had apparently made 1t their
special business to prosecute appeals
before the Bureau OF Standards.

PRESS FEEDERS GET
81 WEEK WAGE CUT
Based Ruling En-
tirely on Changes in
Living Cost.

The Labor Bureau. Inc. announced
last night that as a result of arbitra-
ton u reduction Of 81, week In the
wages of 2.S00 press feeders and as
sistants In the New York book and Job
printing industry became effective
yesterday Dr. William NJ. Leiserson,
who acted as arbitrator OF the dispute
between che printers union and the
Printers League Section of the New
York Employing Printers Association.
set the new wage scale at $3.50 a
week. The employers had asked for a
cut of $3.50 a week.
The issue as presented TO DR.. IAeser-
son was confined by the terms of the
arbitration contract TO changes In the
cost of living since the last wage ad-
justnent and to economic conditions in
the printing industry. the employers
consentlng to q survey of the financial
condition of several leading printing
houses DR.. Lieserson decided the eco
nomic condition OF the industry was not
good enough to warrant an Increase IN
pay or bad enough to compel a decrease.
He based his decision entirely on the
change In the cost Of living since April,
1921.
"The condition OF the industry he
states in his opinion. ''is not good, so
that If there has been a drop In cost
Of living the employers are properly
entitled to the reduction In wages which
the scale contract authorized In con-
forrnity to the changes in living costs.
On the other hand, the conditions of the
industry are not so bad as to justify a
greater decrease in wages than the drop
In cost of living. We conclude. there
fore, that the change in cost Of living
alone must determine change In wage
scale II there is to be any, and II there
has been a drop in cost of living a
lowering of wages is justified in accord
ance with the increased purchasing
power of the dollar"

BRITISH PLAN SOLID
PREPARATIONS FRONT
Minister of Liberated Regions
Called to London to
Meet Horne.

PARIS, Dec Z (Associated Press) -
Accompanied by several French financial
experts, Louis Loucheur, Minister of
Liberated Regions. left Paris this eve
ming for London, where he will confer
with Sir Robert S. Horne. Chancellor
of the Exchequer. with regard to the
reparations payments due by Germany
in January ana February.
1t Is understood the British Govern
ment desires to explain the purpose OF
all the negotiations which recently have
been going on in London with Dr. Wal
ter Rathenau, former German Minister
Of Reconstruction, and other Germans.
and also to discuss with NJ. Loucheur a
general outline OF the reparations policy
which British financial experts believe
to be necessary.
In Preparations Commission circles
here the greatest Importance is attached
to the mission of M. Loucheur. 1t was
pointed out that the chief purpose Of his
visit is to try to reach an accord with
Great Britain on the future reparations
policy. 1t was made clear chat the
Minister was going to London at the
invitation of the British Government
which Is anxious to have the two coun-
tries in agreement so that a solid front
may be established In readiness or the
moment when the reparations payments
are brought into open discussion by any
request that Germany may make.
It was said also that Sir Robert S.
Horne desired to discuss with NJ LOU
cheur the Wiesbaden agreement between
Germany and France, as Great Britain Is
considering making a similar arrange
ment with Germany as a means of OBJ
tanning the portion OF indemnity due
Great Britain.
In the unofficial reparations negotia-
tions which are going on, 1t is believed
that control of German customs will be
one Of the exactions demanded of Ger
many by the French Government before
any delay is granted to Germany In her
payments.
BERLIN, Dec. THE AIloertefne Zet-
t1.n1 says that as q result Of negotia-
tions between Rudolf Havenstein. presi-
dent of the Reichsbank, and the gov
ernors of the Bank of England in Lon
don recently the pre-war relations of the
two banks have been restored, although
not to the full pre-war extent
