Jaeger Custer Hearing
Set for February liz
Legislative Subcommittee to
Take Testimony ON Right of
Socialist to Retain Seat

The Legislative subcommittee deslg-
mated to conduct an investigation into
the right of Assemblyman Henry
Jaeger, Socialist, of the 14th District
of Kings, to retain his seat after the
custer proceedings instituted by George
Rowe, Assemblyman from Erie County,
met yesterday at the Murray Hill
Hotel After adopting method of
procedure to be followed in the in
vestigation, February 18 was set as the
date for the taking of testimony. The
hearing will begin at 10 a. m. at the
hotel.
The preliminary session took but a
few minutes, after which the sub-com-
mittee of five, headed by Assemblyman
Rowe, went into executive conference.
Present at the preliminary session,
which Mr.. Rowe described as quite
friendly, were Chairman Rowe, As
semblyman James Lown, Of Yates
County; E. A. Everett, of st. Lawrence
County; T. D. Smith, of Onondaga
County; Maurice Bloch, of New York
City; Assemblyman Jaeger and his
counsel, S. j. Block: George Wander
muelen, of Buffalo, and J. T. Buckley,
Of Utica, both counsel for the sub
committee.
The charges contained in Assembly
man Rowe's resolution set forth that
Jaeger was convicted for disloyaI ut
terances in 1917, and that he is other
wise ineligible and disqualified for
membership in the Assembly by reason
of residence at haywood, N. j. Jaeger,
who was elected at the last general
election, expects to prove through his
counsel that he is a resident of Kings
County and that his arrest on charge
of disloyalty was due to trouble pro-
voked at public meeting by unruly
persons in the audience.

SIS Tariff on Newsprint
Asked by Manufacturers
Tell House Committee European
Makes Can Sell Here Be-
low VI. =. Cost

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Declaring
that as result Of the present ex-
change situation newsprint paper man
ufacturers in Norway, Sweden, Holland
and Germany can sell their products
TO the United States at price below
production costs here, American news
print manufacturers asked the House
Ways and Means Committee to-day to
impose a tariff of $15 ton on news
print imported from any country ex-
cept Canada.
The present rate is 12 per cent ad
valorem, provided the value Is above 8
cents pound, free entry being ac-
corded stocks below that value.
Explaining the request TO suspend
the. duty on imports from Canada, the
manufacturers said imports from that
country constituted 20 per cent of con-
sumption in the United States and that
Canadian newsprint was required "in
the public interest"
The manufacturers asked that an
arrangement similar to that now in
force with respect to retaliatory action
be incorporated in the tariff law. I'm
der it the proposed duty of $l5 ton
would be made applicable to Canadian
imports on executive order if unfair
and inequitable" regulations or re-
strctons were adopted by the Domin-
ion government or by the governments
of any Of the Canadian provinces.
Under another provision Of the pres
ent arrangement, if any foreign coun-
try imposes any export duty or export
license fee on printing paper, wood
pulp or wood for use in manufacturing
wood pulp, an additional duty would be
imposed on imports of print paper
valued above cents pound from
that country equal to the amdhnt of
the highest export duty or other charge
imposed by such country.

Foreign Vessels
Entries at Havana
Half Total Here
Keen Competition for Cuban
Trade Is Chief Cause of
Harbor Congestion: See
Relief i'm Conditions Now

Competition for Cuban trade became
so keen during 1920 that the number
of foreign ships entering Havana Har-
| Dor is estimated to have been more
than half the total number arriving at
New York last year.
The harbor congestion in Havana has
been created largely by shippers out
to capture trade, says a report from
the Cuban city. The number of for
eign ships entering Havana Harbor in
the fiscal year ended June 80 last was
1850, while the number of foreign ves-
sells entering New York Ha1bor in the
first six months of 1920 was 2,572.
"The financial crisis in Cuba has SO
affected the sugar industry that grow
ers will be fortunate if they realize
eight cents pound" says the London
Times Trade Supplement. Cuban
ports are congested, the general
wharves being piled with freight, while
scores Of barges and sailing boats are
waiting their turn to discharge in Ha-
vana Bay. Steamers a are also laying
alongside ready to unload their car
goes.
Under existing conditions British
suppliers should avoid future commit
ments. This view is not, however, held
in either the United States or Cuba,
where the attention of manufacturers
new to the export trade is strongly di-
rected to the possibilities of the Cuban
market The National Foreign Trade
Council insists that this market is
characteristic of the Latin American
markets and forms a stepping stone for
firms deSirous to test the possibilities G
OF selling abroad.
~ he council points out that, by in
Producing goods into the Cuban mar
Ket, manufacturer may gauge the
conditions Of other Spanish speaking
countries, without the handicap OF
! long distance negotiations. Exporters
are urged further to be careful in deal
ing with this market, both as regard
| prices and compliance with local re.
| countries are availing themselves OF
every opportunity to recover their for
mer trade
The National Foreign Trade Coun-
oil also urges the creation Of a parcel
post service between the United States
and Cuba for strengthening business
relationships and increasing Cuban.
American trade. This American &C.
tivity suggests that, while British sup.
pliers may be wise in their temporary
adoption of a policy of caution, they
must continue to watch the Cubar
market"
The Department Of Commerce reports
! that conditions are improving at Ha.
vana. Sixty-cight vessels are now ir
{ the harbor, compared with seventy
/ eight the preceding week
/ According to the customs authorities
total of thirty-eight warehouses are
now bonded, with five additional appli
cations for bonding pending. Condi.
tions at the government wharf are gooc
and congestion at the other wharves

23 New Ships
To Be Added to
Cunlard Fleets
Nearly $4,000 Gross Tons
of Vessels Being Built
Will Bring Lines Total to
More Than Million Tons
81, 600, 900 Stock Issue
Flosaiion in Connection
With Building Program
Readily Taken by British

More than a score of going
vessels are now under construction in
British shipyards for the Cunqrd Com
pany and it's associated lines. With the
completion of the extensive program
now under way these interests will
have a fleet aggregating million
gross tons, or nearly as much as the
entire American merchant marin e
registered for foreign trade at the out
break of the war.
Despite the depressed conditions in
shipping the Cunard Company recent
ly offered to the public an issueof 94,-
100000 Of debenture stock at 90, car
rying interest at the rate OF per cent.
The support given by the British
people to the shipping industry is in
stanced by tie fact that the issue was
oversubscribed by more than so per
cent.
The issue was made in connection
with the building program of the
Cunard Company. which is to b. pro-
ceeded with, although many cancella-
tions of contracts are being made by
other British shipowners. It is in
tended to provide for the replacement
of war losses and for tonnage require
ments in the immediate future.
New Cunarders Building
Twelve vessels of between $4,000 and
21,500 tons each are now building for
the Cunard Lime, representing total
Of 214,200 tons gross, as follows:
New-York tribune., 1921-02-06

In addition, for the account of asso
ciated lines, five liners, of 16,700 tons
each, and representing a total of
SO, 500 tons are under construction for
the Anchor line; four vessels, each of
$3.50 tons, and representing an aggre-
gate OF $4,000 tons are building for the
Australasiau service of the Common
wealth and Dominion Line. and two
vessels, of 10000 and 3,700 tons, re-
spectively, are being constructed for
ne eastern service of the Brocklebanl1
Company.
Ine total shipping now under con-
struction for the Cunard and asso-
ciated lines is 344 900 tons, which,
when completed, will bring the total
tonnage of these interests up to
1,018,000 tons
Construction Costs Grow
The vessels are generally of the pas
senger and cargo liner, or cargo liner
types Of moderate size. The British
practice has been to place shipbuild-
ing contracts on a basis Of cost of
construction plus a fixed percentage
Tor the builder, and in this connec-
ton, The London Times states in its
trade supplement the cost is likelv to
be considerably greater than appeared
Nkeiy wnen the contracts were placed.
- oiA 6Aiiicu boOIn, chairman of the
Cunard company, in recent statement.
said: VIA y
"The losses of the war must be made
good by the production of the fruits
o1 the earth from all parts of the
world. Shipping will, therefore, play a
great part in this process of recovery,
ard British shipping will not be be-
hind hand in the services it will render.
THE fact that we shall now depend
more than ever on the services of our
shipping for the invisible exports
which must help to balance our imports
and pay for our external debt of itself
! assures the future of our mercantile
marine, unless we are prepared to ad-
nit the possibility of national bank
ruptcy."
Despite the excess of imports over
exports by a large sum in Great Brit
AIMS visible trade with other countries,
the adverse balance of trade has been
overcome through the receipts from the
earnings of British shipping alone and
these are believed to have reached
record figures in 1920.

Heavy Fog Delays
Ferry Schedules;
Police Quiet Crowd
Despite the Difficulties in
River and Harbor, No
Serious Misliaps We're
Reported During Day

A fog blanket, which began to &C
cumulate shortly after Friday mid
night, settled heavily upon the harbor
yesterday and retarded water traffic
until noon, when the sun put rift in
the mist, permitting ferries to resume
normal schedules and ocean steamships
to enter port and depart.
Despite the tcnacity of the fog the
river pilots managed to pick,th way
carefully and no serious collisions or
mishaps were reported.
The steamship Momus of the Morgan
Line, outbound for New Orleans with
passengers and cargo, side-wiped the
Prince Line freighter Moorish Prince
in the Narrows, but neither vessel was
damaged and both proceeded on their
course seaward.
The Municipal ferry service between
South Ferry and st. George, S. l., was
maintained under fair schedule, the
boats being not more than twenty min
utes late on their runs up and down
the bay The Thirty ninth Street serv-
ice, which operates through the Butter
milk Channel, was irregular throughout
the forenoon, the boats being from fif-
teen to thirty minutes late on each trip.
The short runs of the ferries in the
North River were made on fairly good
schedule. r
All traffic to Ellis Island was sus-
PENDED until 10 q. m. This caused 8
congestion of some $500 persons at
the Battery, friends and relatives Of
immigrants, the handling of which re-
quired six policemen and a mounted
patrolman.
The French liner La Lorraine, for
HGvre, got away promptly at noon, and
within two hours was reported as pass
ing out the NarroWs. She was fol-
lowed later by the Cedric, of the White
Star Line. for Jiverpo5. "hich IN an
