JIM LARKIN IS FREE
AGAIN ON NEW ORDER
No Attempt Made to Arrest
Hin, on Other Warrants.

James Larkin, Jr., Irish agitator, who
was released last Friday under bail
from Great Meadows prison, where he
was serving term for criminal an
archy. and subsequently was Jailed at
the Tombs. obtained his freedom early
yesterday morning. He was at liberty
last night. although three warrants are
said to be in the hands of the author
tiles for his arrest on other charges.
Lieut.. Gegan of the bomb squad made
no effort to arrest La-kin yesterday.
Larkin's latest release was upon an
order issued Saturday night by Justice
Finch OF the Supreme Court, admitting
Larkin to $4,000 bail, but providing
that he remain in the custody OF his at
torneys. Two bench warrants from the
United States District Court charging
violation of the immigration laws had
been left with the warden of the Tombs,
but were not served.
Counsel for the labor leader argue
that the warrants were obtained in or
der to keep Larkin in Jail, although
Judge Cardozo Of the Court of Appeals
had issued a certificate Of reasonable
doubt.

TELEGRAM LIABILITY
BILL PUT FORWARD
Logan's Mental Anguish
Measure to Have Early Con-
sideration by House.
FOUGHT BY COMPANIES
'Outside Influences Blamed
for Holding Up Legislation
Fixing Damages for Delays.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YoRK HEzALp.
New York Herald Bureau.
WASHINGTON, ID. C.. May Z.
Telegraph companies escaping liabili-
ties for negligence in delivering inter-
state messages would become subject to
accountability In the Federal courts un-
der proposed legislation now before the
House Committee on Interstate and
as the mental anguish" bill, affording
relief to those who have been disturbed
mentally by reason Of such negligence,
Is to have early consideration.
Introduced several months ago by
Representative Logan the bill was per-
mitted to remain in committee. But re-
Gently members Of Congress have re-
ceived hundreds of letters and kilograms
urging action. and Representative Gra-
ham (Ill) will request at the next COM
mittee meeting that the measure be
taken up with view of having 1t re-
ported favorably to the House for early
enactment
Mr.. Logan said to-day there was a
pressing demand for legislation of this
character. He said the existence of
outside influences probably had pre-
vented action. These influences. he said,
probably could be traced to the telegraph
companies themselves, as they have Wig
orously opposed the legislation.
"At present there Is not a Federal
statute under which ltigants may re-
cover damages for mental anguish from
telegraph companies for the failure OF
the companies to deliver messages" ne
gaid. Several States have such laws,
but the damage suits may be successfully
defended by the companies by the prac-
tices they employ in delivering messages
Of the character described by the bill.
Manifcstly person should have a re-
course to the courts for the negligence
OF the companies in delivering messages.
Suppose you send a message con-
cerning the condition or death OF a loved
one. The message was not delivered or
its delivery delayed. causing you mental
suffering and anguish. You decide to
sue the telegraph company for the men
tai anguish you suffered. Do YOU sup
pose you can collect cent? No, you
probably would be non-suited.
THE companies In South Carolina
would send a message OF that character
outside of the State and relay 1t into
the State again. even though perhaps 1t
may have been intended for delivery
within the city where II was filed, or be-
tween cities in the State. That is the
ioopholc through which the companies
avoid any liability at all for their negli-
gence In the delivery Of that kind OF
message. and any one filing suit against
the companies would be non-suited."

U. S. RULE IN HAYTI
UPHELD BY LANSING
Blocking of German Designs
and Sustaining Monroe Doc
trine Were the Motives.

WASHINGTON. May 7.--American in
tervention and administration OF Hal,
were defended by Robert Lansing
former Secretary of State. in a letter t
Senator Mccormick GIL. Rep), chair
man of the Senate Committee investi
eating Haytian affairs. made public to
day.
Establishment Of peace and prosper
ity in Haiti and blocking of German
designs and aggression threatening tn.
United States and the Monroe Doctrine
were declared by Mr. Lansing to be tn.
motives behind the American policy
The two dominating ideas of the Amer
lean procedure. Mr.. Lansing said. werc
To terminate the appalling con-
ditions of anarchy savagery and OPP
preston which had been prevalent
in Haiti for decades, and to under
take the establishment of domestic
pease in the republic In order that
the great bulk Of the population, who
had been downtrodden by dictators
and the innocent victims of repeated
revolutions. should enjoy a prosperity
and an economic and Industrial de-
veiCpment to which every people OF
an American nation are entitled.
A desire to forestall any attempt
by foreign Power to obtain foot
hold on the territory Of an American
nation. which, II seizure Of Gus
toms control by such Power had
occurred, or IL grant OF a coaling
station or naval base had been OBJ
taincd, would most certainly have
been q menace to the peace of the
Western Hemisphere and in fragrant
defiance of the Monroe Doctrine.
Landing Of American naval forces In
1915, Mr.. Lansing stated, was an "urg-
ent necessity" as anarchy and revolu-
tion" we're in full sway. with Ameri-
cans imperilled and the French Legation
violated by a mob which captured and
murdered Former President Sam. If
the United States had not interviewed.
other foreign nations would have done
so, Mr.. Lansing said, and to have per-
mitted such foreign Intervention would
have meant abandonment Of the Mon
roe Doctrine.
"The United States had TO act and to
act with v.gor," he added.
German aggression in Haiti also was
serious factor and ono not generally
known. Mr.. Lansing continued, stating
that Germany sought naval base con-
cession from the Haitians at Mole St
Nicholas, n base which would have
threatened the American position In the
Caribbean ana would have violated the
Monroe Doctrine.
There was good reason to believe,
said Mr.. Lansing, that In 1e13-14
Germany was ready to go to great
lengths to secure the exclusive customs
control of Haiti and also to secure 4
coalIng station at Mole st. Nicholas.
f. -. There has been a strong Ger
man influence I'm the country
and a considerable number OF Germans
have intermarrIed with the Haitians
and arc closely connected with and
more or less active in political and So
cial life of the country"
The treaty negotiated between the
United States and Haiti, Mr.. Lansing
said, followed the form of the Domini-
can treaty negotiated by President
Roosevelt

s2,700,OO0 PAY LOSS
IN TEXTILE STRIKE
Injunctions Obtained by Mill
Owners Make Picketing Diff
ficult for Strikers.

Special Dispatch to THE NEw YORK HERALD.
PROVIDENCE, May with the Rhode
Island textile strike entering its six
teenth week tomorrow. the end Of the
struggle Is not yet in sight. In neither
the Pawtuxct valley nor the Blackstone
valley is this bitterest labor struggle
that the State has ever known on the
way to an adjustment.
Meanwhile the striking operatives
who are conservatively estimated to
number 10000, are losing approximately
s1S0,O0O a week. In round figures the
loss in wages for the fifteen weeks In
which the strike already has been In
progress Is $2.7oo.ooo.
The loss to the mill owners hardly
can he estimated. but it is said to reach
into the hundreds Of thousands.
In the Pawtuxet valley, where 5000
operative either are on strike or out OF
work because OF the strike, the loss in
wages proceeds at the rate OF 100000
a week, a situation which merchants all
through the valley have felt keenly for
nearly four months.
In this section the strikers have or
ganized system of relief which up to
the present time has taken care OF all
dependents. But It is a question in the
minds Of many just how long they can
hold out. A month ago 1t was stated
there was on hand a strike fund of $20.-
600. Within the week 1t was learned
from an authoritative source that this
balance had been reduced to $4,000.
This sum represents a surplus which is
drawn upon only when collections and
contributions fail to meet the demand
for help.
Strike Is Costly.
According to statements of the organ
izers, it costs s6.400 a week to run tho
strike In the Pawtuxet valley. All the
workers In this section are affiliated
with the Amalgamated Textile Workers
OF America. Their method of support
ing the strike consists in sending coll
lectors to mill cities and villages
throughout this part Of New England.
BY far the larger part Of the contribu-
tions come from Fall River and New
Bedford. where the operatives in those
big textile centcrs contribute literally
with the end In view OF winning fight
here, which otherwise might be waged
In their own cities.
The burden OF the strike committee
has been somewhat lightened By dona-
tions of food and clothing. Bakeys In
New Bedford. Worcester. Rrockton and
Boston have sent supplies Of bread which
aggregate 1900 or more loaves week.
Farmers in the valley have given vege-
tables and other supplies.
The mills operating are being run with
forces that are only fraction OF nor
NAL and with help which It Is stated
for the most part IL incompetent.
Injunctions obtained by mill owners
within the last week have made IT DIM
cult for the strikers to picket several
of the plants and manufacturers expect
to see their old employees gradually
drift back to work as soon as they can
be assured they will not be assaulted
on the way to work.

B A T T E N
y
Brown in Boston
White in New York

Public buying habits take queer
streaks.
In Boston the housewife in
sists on big brown eggs and will
pay an advance price for them.
Mrs. New Yorker must have
white eggs, and the willy dealer
sorts his eggs and extracts sew
cral cents a dozen more from his
patrons for his pale-face eggs.
Thus an old notion handed
down from generation to gener-
alton forms public opinion as
to eggs. 1t regulates egg COM
merce.
Any woman on cross-examina-
ton will probably admit that an
egg is an egg the world over, be
it brown or white. The next day
she will 60 out and insist on
having either white or brown
eggs.
Certain manufacturers who
advertise enjoy the same advan-
tages over their competitors as
does the little brown hen that
lays the big brown egg for Mrs.
Boston. They have sensed the
fact that the public buys with
unreasoning insistence the prod
uct with familiar markings, even
The New York herald., 1922-05-08

though it does not know why.
Many advertised articles occupy
a pedestal because Of superior
outstanding qualities. But there
are unquestionably advertised
goods, largely purchased, which
have no striking advantage over
other goods of equally high quail
ity, except that they are better
known and more accessible.
Brown eggs or white eggs are
better in public opinion accord
ing to what the public has been
led to believe. So it is with mer-
chandise. Favorable public opin-
ion for a commodity usually
exists in proportion to the in
sistence and persistence with
which the product is advertised.
So, Mr.. Manufacturer, do not
feel that you cannot advertise
prohtably because your goods
are only as good as the best in
the market, and without striking
characteristics which are their
exclusive possession. IL your
product is as good as the best,
it is good enough to tell the
public about-and the public is
waiting TO reward you with its
confidence.
