ADMIRAL WARNS STEEL
MEN ON LITTLE NAVY
Says Pacifist Propaganda Is
Becoming Menace.

Rear Admiral Carl r. Vogelgesang
Commandant of the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, made a plea for q large navy last
night at dinner Of the Iron and Steel
Institute at the Hotel Commodore. He
declared that the pacifist propaganda
for a small navy has grown to the point
of becoming menace. He urged the
steel men to disregard such pleas from
political opportunists and misguided
fanatics
Admiral yogelgesang argued that tho
need OF large navy Is not a war meas
use, but that il is essential to maintain
the position of the United States in for
eign trade. He explained that the ma
tion's production exceeds its consumption
by 90 per cent, and that the only outlet
for that surplus lies in foreign markets.
He said that other nations have sensed
this and bulwarked themselves III the
foreign markets.
The Admiral also reviewed the indus
trial stimulus the navy affords the ma
ton in the time of peace, outlining how
the navy since 1882. when the first steel
ships were ordered, has made an in
crease in steel output and Improvement
Of steel quality imperative how the
navy is developing the radio and avia-
tion fields ande of how it serves as a
great ira aiming school in many lines.
Dwight w. Morrow of j. r. Morgan &
Co. commended the policies OF the steel
companies in arranging for their EN-
pleyees to share In their businesses, and
urged that this plan be expanded con-
tinuously. until the point is reached
where the capital and labor classes will
caese to exist, but all win be recognized
as coworkers and as capitalist -laborers.
Charles S. Schwab delivered eulogy
upon the work of Judge Gary In building

Incorporation of some provision in the

from the bench on the hearings. the

terborough Company already provides
explicitly for Ave cent fare.
Furthermore. the successful reorgani-
Zation OF the transit companies with re-
covery from war time initiation has

clans who strive TO use II for political
effect"

The corporation counsel also had sug-
gested including a stipulation in the

BIG FEES FOR SHEARN
ATTACKED BY HYLAN
Mayor Says Counsel Gets our
Times as Much as He.

Mayor Hylan defended his pet mu-
nicipal,y operated bus system yesterday.
He attacked Clarence J. Shearn, special
counsel to the Transit Commission, who
for a week has been making revelations
| about that particular phase of the
transit situation. Mayor Hylan said:
Counsellor Shearn. who draws be-
tween $500 and $3.50 day out OF the
city treasury through the state Transit
Commission, discovered yesterday that
Police Inspector Henrys wife owned a
bus that was operated on the Eighty
sixth street line. This fact was given
startling publicity by the traction news
papers that are aiding McAneny and
Shearn in their cheap political play TO
discredit city bus operation.
counsellor Shearn did not show tha.
the bus owned by Mrs. Henry was not
giving good service on n ) cent fare. nor
did he show that Mrs. Henry took to
bus operation probably in an effort to
earn a few dollars TO hire lawyers to
defend her husband, who was being
framed by gamblers. The probability
Is that her bus was rendering first class
service.
THE people appreciate the buses and
who owns them temporarily so long as
they get adequate service on cent
fare.
'Shearn is being paid at the rate OF
about $4,000 year. This is four times
the salary that I receive as Mayor
Counsellor Shearn, who is receiving
az a rate of $3.50 day paid out OF the
pockets Of the people. has actually
shown that a firm OF young insurance
brokers has written some bus insurance,
made compulsory by an act of the Re-
publican Legislature. All the commits
sion this firm has received cut of such
insurance is less than two days pay
for Shearn 1t was not only this firm
OF brokers that wrote bus insurance. but
n score of other firms. but Mr. Shcaru

people themselves. 1 think, will attend
to that.
'"rhe outstanding thing at the moment
" that a man hearing the high title Of
Mayor OF the City of New York, speak
ing daily in public places and through
the newspapers. is capable Of grossly
and Systematically deceiving the people
whose affairs he has In trust. The
Mayors behavior is an increasing dis
grace.
'rhe conviction grows that the NOV
ing purpose in the Mayors mind dur
ing the past two years has been deliber-
ately to block new subway construction
and TO belittle every other form OF
transit relief in the interest of his cher
ished dream of an unlimited municipal
operation of his buses. We are getting
a passing glimpse of what that would
mean. What it would mean to subject
the entire transit system. or any consid-
erable part of 1t to political control pre-
sents. and will continue to present, an
even graver question"
