SAYS EXPORTS NO
CURE FOR ECONOMIC
ILLS OF COUNTRY

Boston, April 27-Dr. Julius Klein,
association Of Cotton manufacturers
here tonight said that Chronic anti
foreign traders" were out of date in
their relation to American CONNER
cial progress. Dr. Klein is director of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce of the Federal Department
Of Commerce.
He said he wished to correct the
impression prevalent in some quarters
that the department of commerce
was prescribing exports as the pana-
cea for all the economic ills with
which this country might be infect
ed. He added, however, that in his
opinion and in the opinion of a vast
majority of the sound thinking bus
mess men of this nation today the
function of foreign trade as a stabi-
lZer was never more clearly demon
strated than at this moment.
In referring TO the export outlook
from textile standpoint the director
asserted that the bugaboo of disas-
tfous foreign competition has been
oVerdrawn,' He denied emphaticallv
That the best efforts Of cur CONNER
cal rivals could drive America from
the worlds markets. He said that
the percentage of tho total American
textile output exported had almost
doubled since 1913, that this export :
able surplus was steadily increasing
and should reach 90 Per cent. in the
not distant future. He said that Am
eflcan textile interests had little or
nothlng to fear from Germany and
central European states In the strug
gle for the worlds textile markets At
this time.
According to DR.. Klein, American
exports to India on a yardage basis
have jumped 1000 per cent. since 1919
While the best figures available in
dlcate that British exports to that
country have decreased He said
that the department of commerco
was keenly alive to the possibilities

When the committee adjourned,
however, it was until Tuesday, with
a statement by the chairman, Sena-
tor Leonard +. Hardy, that further
testimony might be heard on that
day. He explained that W. Edwin
Timer, the attorney whose name is
involved in the charges as a party to
the alleged conspiracy had asked per-
mission to take the stand and that the
request was under advisement. u
mer, who recently was found guilty in
superior court on several counts of an
Indictment charging Justification of
tax returns, has not testified at the
hearing. He was former manager

sideration the request of Attorney

in contempt for an editorial published
this morning commenting on the
hearing. Mr.. Poland chara cterized
the article as gross contempt" of
both the committee and the legisla-
ture.
Judge Pierce was on the stand for
more than an hour in cross examina-
ton today. Questioned at length by

relations with Timer he pursued the
straight, strict and lpright course in
every respect"

replied to n recent statement of Ed
win Farnham Greene, treasurer of
the Pacific Mills. Mr.. Mcmahon as
serted that the southern competition
cited in this statement was merely
device TO justify lower wages in
New England.
Legere in his speech declared that
MCMahon's address was foolish. He
asserted that the profits of the Pa
cific Mills had nothing to do with the
situation and that the only thing
that mattered was that the work
ers were unsatisficd and were on
strike.
He then said thee were 100 work
crs on duty in the shipping depart
ment of the Upper Pacific mills and
that he was going to help picket that
mill. The crowd followed to assist
him. Heckling and boo!ng greeted
the workers but there were no dis
orders.

skilled workman employed at the
Monomac mills, reported to the po-
lice that he had been attacked and

ROBBERY LAST OCTOBER CAUGHT
IN ATTEMPT TO SELL BOND LOT

New York, April 27.-Post Office au-
thorities today believed they were in
a position to recover the greater. part
of the s2,500,00O loot taken by three
armed bandits in their daring raid on
a mail truck on lower Broadway last
October.
master general himself started a ma
tion-wide hunt for the robbers, post
Office inspectors announced that their
six months work had been rewarded
by capture of three men whom they
arraigned before United States Com
missioner Hitchcock on the charge
that they had found them trying to
dispose of $4,000 worth of securities
which had formed part of the plum
der.
Assistant United States Attorney
Cahll told the Commissioner one of
the men, Jacob Price. had offered to
sell him $4,000 worth of bonds.
Commissioner Hitchcock held them
in $4,000 bail each for further hear
ing next Thursday.
The arrests, it became known, were
made yesterday, in dramatic fashion,
in two of the largest down town bro
kerage houses, which had turned over
their premises and STATS to assist the
inspectors to lay trap for the trio.
Last Friday the inspectors claimed
they had received word that Louis
and Jack Wolfe, dealers in silk goods,
and Jacob Price, whose business was
not given, We're trying to dispose of
securities listed as among those stol-
en-.
Thereupon the inspectors called on
the brokers, whose names We're not
given out. and obtained their consent
to using their quarters for carrying
on negotiations with the suspects.
One inspector. posing as broker, got
in touch with the Wolfes and arrang-
ed for them to call at the brokerage
office.
When they appeared, nearly a score
Of inspectors We're. scattered around
the Office. Some posed as customers,
others guarded doors and elevators.
The inspectors claimed to have closed
negotiations for the securities at 60
per cent of their value, but asserted
that one of the suspects demanded to
see the color of the "brokcrs" money
before producing the bonds.
He was shown thousands of dollars
borrowed for the purpose and eX-
pressed himself satisfied.
When he returned, inspectors sta
toned near their partners private Of
fees, jumped forward with drawn
revolvers after a pre-arranged signal
had told them the securities had been
produced.
Hands up" they shouted, and the
hands went up.
In the meantime, in another broker
age Office, Prince was alleged to DC
dickering over the sale of more bonds.
He was placed under arrest in the
same manner.
