Health Commissioner
Charges New Milk Bill
Menace to Public Veal

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Presi-
dsnt Coolidge was asked today to
veto the Lenroot-Taber milk bill, re-
stricting the entry of Canadian milk
into New York state, now before him
for signature.
DR.. Louis L. Harris, health COM
missioner Of New York, told the presi-
dent he should veto the bill as a
menace to the health of New York
City, which would be deprived by. the
bill of its milk reserve in Canada.
The bill, Harris asserted, would
lead to "bootlegging milk which will
be far more serious to public health
than the bootlegging Of liquor"

Tax Case Shows
Ford Assessed
Very Low
Henry's Dislike for Paying
Taxes Now Injuries COuzens

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. - The
Board of Tax Appeals was shOwered
with more expert testimony today,
showing the valuation of Ford Motor
Stock in 1918 to be rather low, ac-
cOrding to Ford's local tax returns.
Solicitor of Internal Revenue, A.
w. Gregg, appearing for the treas
ury, declared that Ford motor stock
in 1913 was worth from $500 to
$4,000 a share, in contrast to the
$1,000 valuation claimed by Senator
James Couzens (R) of Michigan, the
Dodge estate and other stockholders.
Senator James Couzens, minority
stakeholder in Ford Motors, and fl
nancial manager who planned Ford's
business deals, reported to the gov
eminent when he sold his stock, that
it was worth the higher figure in
1913. This neduced the profits at
least on paper, and it was on the
profits that the government collects
tax.
Ford Not SpOtless.
Gregg's testimony shows that
Henry Ford must have been part
ner to the deception, in so far as he
did not expose it, while at the same
time valuing his own stock for local
taxation at a low figure, and record
ing stock values, four years later, at
a considerably higher figure, though
not nearly so high as that claimed by
Couzens for 1913.
"In 1913 the automobile industry
was in its infancy" Gregg said. up
to that time it had been character
lied by financial reverses and fail
ures; automobile securities at that
time were regarded by investors as
speculative and involving a large ele-
ment of risk.
at is our contention that the Ford
Motor Company, by concentrating on.
enc model, contrary to the general
policy of the automobile industry, ac-
centuated this risk factor"
Gregg asserted that the govern
ment would prove that the value of
Ford stock has further decreased be-
cause it was controlled by one man.
That fact would have greatly influ-
enced any prospective buyer, he said.

FRANCE, ITALY
PREP AIRING FOR
ANOTHER WAR
To Claim They Have to
Protect Colonies

PARIS, Feb. 14.-That the reac-
tionary French and Italian govern
ments are printing themselves for an
other war is indicated by their re-
actions to President Coolidge's "dis-
armament" memorandum.
Foreign Minister Brands reply to
the memorandum will be a flat mega
tive, according to close observers of
the situation. Brands reply will be
presented to the cabinet tomorrow and
will base its rejection of the Coolidge
proposal on Frances "need for pro-
tccting her colonies"
A sen1i-official Italian communique
declares that Italy can "never consent
to measures endangering even indi-
rectly her vital interests" This and
Italy's accelerated production of
munitions indicate that Mussolini is
preparing for another war.
TOXIC, Feb. IA distinct aver
sion to the 5-5-3 ratio, as applied
to auxiliary ships, was apparent in
naval circles here today as discussion
widened concerning President Cool
idge's aeamement proposal.
Minister Of Navy Tarabe declared
auxiliaries were essential in protect
ing trade routes and insuring the
transportation of food, raw materials
and supplies.
It is held Japan's need of auxiliar-
les is far greater than that of the
United States.
Tarabe also asserted Japan's pres
cnt naval strength was at a minimum
to insure an adequate defense of the
country. He also said the navy OPP
posed scrapping Of ships now under
construction.
The foreign office is inclined to re-
gard the ratio angle as a technical
problem, one with which the experts
should cope.
Baldwin Doubtful.
LONDON, Feb. 14.-Premier Stan
ley Baldwin declined to commit him
self definitely today, when questioned
in the house of commons as to the
British governments attitude toward
President Coolidge's disarmament
proposals.
"The presidents statement has been
received and is receiving most earn
est consideration" said Premier Bald

him.

CREEK FURRIERS
DENOUNCE PLAN
FOR FAKE union
''Be Prepared" Leaders
Warn Mass Meeting

"Be prepared for anything, was
the warning of S. Leibowitz, assistant
manager Of the Furriers Joint Board,
when speaking to members of the
Greek branch of the Joint Board and
a group of delegates from the Greek
Brotherhood who met in Webster
Hall last night to discuss the attempt
Of the International and the A. f.
Of L. to use the Greek workers as
pawns in their scheme for disrupting
the union.
Greek Workers Meet.
This meeting had been called to in
form the Greek fur workers of the
recent conferences between reprsen-
tatives Of the A. F. of L., the Greek
Brotherhood and the International
Fur Workers Union whose officials
had offered to grant a local charter
direct to tue Brotherhood, a company
union, and thus not only ignore the
Greek branch Of the Joint Board hut
violate the constitution cf the union.
IF the International were concern
ed with the welfare of the members
Of the Greek workers, said Leibowitz
they would not have waited until
this particular time to grant char
ter, when for the past year and a
half they have refused 10 consider
the matter which has been brought
up repeatedly by Vice-P President A.
Gross whom they recently expelled.
IF the International cared for the
Greek workers, it would not ignore
the Greek branch of the Joint Board
and attempt to give a charter to
a company union which was formed
by the bosses, in the interest of the
bosses. And while promising this
group charter they have fooled the
brotherhood members into thinking
that with a charter from the Inter
national they could work in any fur
shop in New York, which is not true.
Our union constitution says every
worker in fur manufacturing shop
in this city must be a member of the
Joint Board; and members of local
chartered direct by the international
would not be members Of the Joint
Board"
Wanted Any Support.
According to Leibowitz, the Inter
nationals sole reason for offering a
local charter to the Brotherhood, and
thus breaking off the agreement
which had been reached by the Greek
branch of the Joint Board and the
brotherhood, was to gain the support
of these Greek workers to fight their
battles and help keep them in power
in the union.
"They wanted to form the nucleus
Of a new Joint Board to which some
Of the disgruntlcd Jewish workers
who had to pay heavy fines for scab-
bing in the last strike-would be
sure to turn. They want 70 pit the
Greek against the Jewish workers.
They want to use the Greeks to do
their dirty work in the fight which
they are planning on the New York
Joint Board"
Plan Dual Board?
Rumors were current yesterday
that the right wing Of the furriers
international was to open fire upon
the lefts within a few days, their plan
being to "supercede" the Joint Board
or take over its affairs, or some such
action which would set up dual board
BY appointees Of the Inter-
national.
Besides Liebowitz, I. Shapiro, chair
man Of the Joint Board also spoke;
and the other speakers were all mem
hers Of the Greek Branch Of the Joint
Board - George Particartis, John
Pappas and George Avenitis, who
was chairman.
