$200 00070 KIL COTLLOBLLS TO SAVE ALENS Opposition to Laws Protecting Foreigners Is Heavily Financed. FOREIGN PRESS FIGHTS. Steamship and Express Com- panies, in Opposition, May Be Inviting Investigation. By Martin Green. Two Italian language daily news-, Papers published in this city—prob- ably the most influential of their class —are persistently attacking the legis. jJation which Senator Salvatore A. Co- tillo is pushing in the Legislature for the purpose of regulating banks— in- corporated and private—steamship companies, express companies and in- numerable self-styled bankers, bro- kers and agents in the matter of ré- mittances of small sums to Europe. ‘These newspapers are Il Progresso Italo-Americano and Bolletino Della Sera. The Evening World nas shown that millions of dollars have been stolen from ignorant, credulous foreigners by irresponsible men and companies which engage to transmit money to starving people in Europe and fail to make deliveries; that millions of dol- Jars have been lost by the operations of men and companies which actually remit money but, through ignorance or greed, have neglected to install or maintain adequate machinery for carrying out their contracts at the Buropean end; that millions of dol- jars have been lost by inexcusable delays and evasions on the part of areat corporations which maintain foreign exchange organizations, but are immune from the operations of the criminal laws of this State, and can be proceeded against only by civil action on the part of persons who cannot afford to employ lawyers and gd through the tedious procedure of the civil courts. TO PREVENT EXPLOITATION OF THE FOREIGN BORN. The sole object of the bills which Senator Cotillo has introduced, and of other bille which are to be intro- duced later in the session, is to pro- tect the people who have been robbed of vast sums of money. The bills aim to prevent such exploitation in the future. They are designed to surround the banking business of transmitting money with the same safeguards that surround the bank- ing business of receiving deposits. Senator Cotillo was not asked by ‘The Evening World to introduce his bills. His attention to the abuses practiced upon the Italian, Jewish, Hungarian, Polish and otber foreign peoples resident in this city and State Was attracted by the articles pub- lished in The Evening World expos- ing such abuses. He yolufWeered his aid and tt was accepted. The Cotillo bills were prepared after counsel with persons who have been studying the exploitation of the immigrant for many years and have made numerous unsuccessful tempts to remedy the evil. They have the support of the State Banking De- partment, of civic bodies, of leading legislators and of forelgn language journalists and publicists it was originally intended by those who! are interested in stopping the swindling of the ignorant to inaugn- rate a sweeping legislative investiga- tion, This plan was abandoned, but in case opposition to the reasonabie iegislation incorporated in the Cotillo bills is maintained it can be wevived. Chief objection appears to be di- rected to the bill which would remove the exception in the general corpora- tion laws of express companies and steamship companies doing a trans- Miasion businesa from the aupervie- ion of the State banking authorities This bill will be pushed to passage. $200,000 FUND RAISED BY “BANK- ERS” AND “AGENTS,” Tho. American Express Company, the Cunard Line, the White Star Line and other steamship companies have offered.a compromise bill which would place their agents under the supervision of the State Comptroller by a system of license. Reports have reached The Hvening World to the effect that a fund of $200,000 has been raised by bankers and agents for the purpose of killing the griginal bill, ‘The best advice The Evening World has been able to obtain is that the compromise or substitute bill framed by the steamship companies and the express company would serve to per- petuate rather than lessen the evils which have made legislation neces- sary, For that reason The Evening World is committed solely to the original Cotillo bill, which would compel the alien steamship companies most of the executives of which, in this city, are allens—to operate under the laws of this State‘and would com- pel the American Express Company to do a foreign banking business un- der the same rules and restrictions that apply to incorporated banks, The Evening World representative in Albany was handed on Wednes- day, by a representative of the Cunard Line, a copy of a substitute or compromise bill which was sup- to have been drawn up in for the purpose of expediting legislavion. The bill was in type- written form and a carbon copy, At the top of the bill was this cryptic inscription, * PR WEMCC DH Mar 15-21." The meaning of the in- scription is that the bill was sent to Albany by telegraph at no cosy to the sender or receiver—indicated by the letters DH, meaning “dead head,” Where the bill was actually drawn and by whom may be revealed on Tuesday of next week, when the orig- inal Cotillo bill comes up for discu sion in the Senate. at-{ ‘THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 19,1921.

BETRAYED HOME Cify But There Is Still Time for Constituents to. Make Them Change Their Minds. By Joseph 8, Jordan. (Staff Correspondent of The Evening 4 World.) ALBANY, March 19.—The tracks have been greased for the passage of the Miller traction bill in the Assem- bly on Tuesday next. Speaker of the House H. Elmund Machold, banker, of Ellisburg, Jefferson County, is the conductor of the excursion—vhe man who makes the ‘Miller boys” watch their step. | If the measure goes through, and at the present writing, this seems a foregone conclusion, Greater New York can thank fourteen of her fa? |vorea sons for the result that will | take away all control over transit, in- cluding her $300,000,000 in the sub- waya. The vote necesmry to pass the measure is seventy-six, and the ad- vancement of the bit to third reading and final passage was made by a vote of ninety. This means that if the New York |men who betrayed their home city | voted in accordance with the desire | of ‘their constituents, the bill would | have just the vote required for pass. age; and further than this if the vote were whittled down to the re quired seventy-six, in the minds, of practised legislators here, it would be killed. No man would want to take the | responsibility of casting the decid- ing vote on a measure which has been subjected to the criticism drawn to the traction measure. When the notorious Jenks bill was killed in the last session, they had seventy-eight votes lined up in the Assembly for its passage. When tt was found that no more could be whipped into line, several of the members slipped away from its support, refusing to stand for the blame for its passage, and the measure failed of passage. What the Jenks bilb would have done to Greater New York through its traction lines is a joke compared to what the Miller traction bill will do. The Republicans of New York who | had been lined up for the Jenks meas- ures didn't dare face the scorn “and wrath of their constituents and re- fused to be politically slaughtered, And yet fourteen of them are now jon record in support of the traction bill, which has brought such a storm of ‘censure from all Greater New York. The Assemblymen from the Greater City who have already been | counted in’ support of the measure are: Edward R. Rayher, lawyer, No. 150 West 95th Street, New York Cit From Brooklyn are John A. Warren, lawyer, No. 173 Joral mon Street; lawyer, No. James F. If Street; James J. Mullen, banker, No. 1197 East 19th Street; Theo- dore Stitt, lawyer, No. 966 St. Mark's Avenue; Leon G. Move insurance, No. 1958 67th Stree Frederick A. Wells, manufac- turer, No. 215 Montagu Walter F. Clayton, builder, No. 224 East 16th Street; Louis J. Druss, lawyer, No. 601 Howard Avenu The Queens County men a Nicholas tt Ni Fleming Place, J Ra Halpern, comme Vv No. 10,434 88th Avenue, Richmond Hill, L. 1. Ernest V. Frerichs, lawyer, No. 7703 Amboy Road, Tottenville, 8. |. Most of these men will be at their mes over the week-end, which will afford a good opportunity for their astituents to have a word with them. They all know the sentiment | of Greater New York with regard <o | the traction measure, and ought to know what the future holds for the men of New York City who have voted or who will yote in its favor, Not a few of the up-State men who voted for the measure in the Senate are beginning to ‘hear from the folks at home, judging from some of the up-State papers which have reached the Capitol at this early date The men who ‘helped frame the |Miller measure and helped to pass it through the Senate affect to feel no} alarm in_the possibility of the Mayor of New York City getting the privi- lege to use his veto power on the measure, setting up the claim that it is not a city bill, But they do see a lot of litigation ah 1 of them in the the bill stand up as the law. iapnesietitaiiti | PICKARD RELEASED ON BAIL. © of Selling Van- derbilt Candelabra Set tor ‘Tuesday.

Way, a Thought For- mula, Would Speedily Send Contributions “Over the Top"—Everybody Try It and Sentiment for the Fund Will Be Unanimous. By Lilian Bell. Our drive for a Service Hous, where the wounded may be housed on their dischargy from hospitals, js nearing its close, At Christmas you came across with 4 rush. Employees took up collec- tions from their fellows. People flocked to our office with their hands It was Christmas, and tie spirit of giving was in the air, Now there is not a person who reads these lines who is not good for from five to a thousand dollars for this Service House if you only take an interest in it. If you are not able to sive it all yourself, take a papor, write your own subscription at the top of it and Ro from house to house among your neighbors. One woman got her grocer to give her a ham and she raffled it off ant sent me $14. Another one raffled a table cover, One little girl made candy and sold it. Three little boys in the*Christmas campaign took people to the train on their sleds during a snow sorm. Another little boy sold papers. Some girls got up a cake salo, Others arranged a, bazaar. You know best what you can do. Do something. And do it NOW. There is not a high schoo} girl or boy who has not initiative enough to be good for at least five dollars. How did you get the money to buy your thrift stamps during the war?! When you want money for anything, how do you get it? A number of persons want to hold dances and turn the money over to us, By all means do #0, Just remember this, when you see a group of ex-service men with the but- ton of honorable discharg> in their buttonhole and repeat it to yourself: “These men are my brothers and it is partly my fault that they ure so shab- by and out of work.) If I do my duty it will take care of: all of them, for every one is mying to himself just what I am saying—and that makes it unanimous.” There is no limit to the money we would take in if each one did just what he could, A good example is contagious, Remember, you must have a letter from me if you solicit subseriptions. But if you raise it any other way, that is your own business and all you have to do in that case is to turn the money over to the cashier, Remember this too; T do not see the money. And if you send checks and money orders in my name, they are put through by the cashier. 1 never have handled funds for anything or anybody, and if statements are made to the contrary, they are not only false, but are made with the intention to defraud. 1 work in the open, and only write the articles urging you to help your own buddies. Help the wounded If you work in a@ bank or an office where there are many employees, take a subscription paper to the President and then work down to the office boys. Don't skip anybody, In all my work for the wounded, which covers four years, I never re. oelved a word of reproach from any of them until to-day. In this morn- ing's mail I got a letter from a dis- charged Fox Hills patient, signing his name, and saying he was formerly in Ward 56. In his letter he takes me to task for soliciting used clothing, sayin, the “veterans” are not objects ov! charity and that by so doing I in- sult the veterans worse than the sen- der of the 5-cent check to which I have heretofore referred. I have asked in vain for new cloth- ing—only one new suit was furnished only one, mind you. The Army and Navy Equipment Company of No, 37 West 125th Street sent to Guider's Health School thirty-two pairs of new shoes, which were vastly appre- ciated. Bat as to new suits—just one. Naw, if this indignant ‘veteran’ could see the ragged, forlorn der licts who drift Into my office, with- out overcoats, begging for used clothes and saying they stood no chance of getting jobs until they could get decent clothes, I wonder what Veteran would do were he in my place? I do the best T can by every boy who comes to me asking help, dear Veteran, formerly of Ward 5, Fox Hills. And after T have done m best there is no mare that T can do, there? ° Veteran also thinks that a Service Holise for the wounded would sim- ply be a “home for the lazy.” In the 8. W. W. R. Service House, at this very moment, five of Mrs. Furst's boys—veterans, I should say —are sick In bed. No “laziness” there. ever seen any among the wounded | know.
