PROFIT
IS BEING MADE
BY SMUCCLERS

Berlin, Jan. 19.-Smugglers 8 are
making immense profits by bringing
English cloth for mems suits past the
customs line to h tailqrs Of Berlin.
Their iilicit earnings are made pos
stble by the high German import du-
ties on that class of material.
The tailoring establishments are
visited almost daily by sailors or
other ship employees with huge rolls
OF English tweeds and other fabrics,
in cne-suit pieces, which they have
succeeded in purchasing at English
ports and bringing in duty free. One

The cloth. is sold at one-fourth 10
one-fifth the price it would cost Il
the import duty was paid. Tailors
are quick to purchase the fabrics.
The smugylers also visit foreigners
and offer their wares for sale.
The 81 rugglers go quite openly
about their business. They may be
seen walking the streets with big
bundles en- their backs. A few Of the
more vepturcsome have eve offered
the goods for sale on the sidewalks,
where they find ready takers.

Latvian Government
lrritated By Action
OF Polish Officials

Riga - The Latvian goyern-
ment has become irritated by Poland's
attempt to prevent free transit Of for
eisn passengers through the Danzig
corridor without Polish vises on their
passports. The Iatvians questioned
>Polapd's right to- this partial closing
OF the corridor and declare Poland's
action is In direct contradiction to the
terms of the Versailles treaty which
set up the famous corridor giving Pc.
land access to the sea.
EPoland's practice in demanding that
foreigners crossing the corridor must
have, Polish vises on their passports
has caused complaint by travellers be-
tween the Baltic ~states-Lithuania,
Esthonia and Latvia-and western
Europe for more than a year.
For many months Polish gendar-
merle have boarded trains at the en-
trance and exist to the corridor that
divides Germany into two parts and
in many instances have elected pass
engers who. did not have the Polish
vises,' eve when they were only in
transit through the corridor between
countries on both sides Of it. An
American traveller was required to
pay the equivalent of $40 for his
Polish wise.
Mrs. William H. Haskell, wife of
Colonel Haskell, head of the Ameri-
can relief administration in Russia,
recently complained to the American
: commission in Riga because Of ex-
periences h underwent at the hands
of Polish customs examiners while
crossing the corridor.
Now Polish authorities have closed
the corridor absolutely to Latvian
| citizens by refusing to wise their pass
ports. L%atvians who desire to travel
to western Europe have to take q
round about route by boat to Ger
many.

Production Increase
Obligation Put Up To
Managers OF Industry

Cleveland. Ohio, Jan. 1S.-The OBJ
legation to increase. production rests
with the managers of industry, and
in their hands equally with labor lies
the opportunity, Sanford e. Thomp-
son. Of Boston and j. Parke Claiming,
New York engineers, told the annual
convention Of the Associated Genera
Contractors OF America here today.
Increasing the individual workers
output in construction involves far
more than inducing the worker to
give up the rules which restrict pro-
d%uction, both men declared. The
manager must give more time and pa
thence the next few years in planning
his jobs, procuring and preparing ma
