FEINBERG, EX-CONVICT,
WON'T LOSE HIS JOB
Intends to "Go Straight" Now,'
He Says, and Recorder
Hazlett Is Satisfied

cording to Recorder Razlett, nn long ns
lo docs his work In n satisfactory manner.
Felnberg, It was learned after, his ap
pointment, hns a record of having been
committed to tho Houses of Correction for
ono year and olght months nnd of haxlng
served threo sentences In the county
prison. When Inst arrested ho tas de
fended by State Senator Salus, upon
whose recommendation ho received . the
position from which Moran was fired,
When questioned about Ills police record
Kelnbcrg said!
"I'm going straight now. nnd havo been
going straight for n long tlmo. I'm going
to go straight the rest of my life. It's
a shame that these fellows try to put mo
down now Just becauso 1 won't trail along
with them.
"Say, for tho last six years I'vo been
doing city woik, and Bill Harrington got
Bob Mooro to get me every Job I over had"
In City Hall. I worked In tho County
Commlssloncrn olllce, In tho olllco of the
Board of Revision of Taxes and the olllco
of tho Rccehcr of Taxes. 1 was extra city
clerk In nil thoso places, nnd I'll bet every
ono theio will say I was on the job, all
tho tlmo, (and on tho level. Ask John
Haines, tho aislstant chief clerk of tho
Board of Revision of Taxes, about mo and
my work. IIo'll tell you I'm nil right.
"It'n becauso I left 'Bill Harrington nnd
wont over to tho other sldo Hint thcy'ro
pulling this stufr. Harrington enmo to- mo
about a month nco and pnld: 'Manny,
we'll mnko them all go along with us
or wo'll beat them up.' I told him I dldn t
like that kind of work; that It might
havo been all right 20 years ago, but was
bum stuff nowadays. I told him I
wouldn't havo nothing to do with It, nnd
that I was going with tho othor sld
That's why they're bringing upthls con
vlct record. When I wns pulling with
them, It was all right; they didn't caro
what I was. It's a rsliamo when a man
Is trying to go straight and got along in

Need to Organize 5,000,000
Workers for Army of
1,000,000 First
"Thrf United Htntea Is due for a whip
ping If sho becomes embroiled with a first
class Power. Thero would bo no real
fight, becnuse wo wouldn't bo In n posl
tlon to fight Until It wns all over but
the shouting," This statement wns mado
hy Howard M. Collin, chief engineer of
the Hudson Motorcar Compnny and a
member of the navy ndvlsory board, In an
address Inst night before tho Engineers'
Club.
Mr. CoITln declared that because of the
lack of co-operation and organization
tho effort of American manufacturers to
yupply munitions to the Allies was a far
deal thing. Ho stated that many of tho
guns and munitions sent to tho Alllei
are Imperfectly made.
"t nm told on tho most reliable au
thority," ho said, "that GOO American
made cannon hnvo burst on the firing line
In France, each killing every one of the
crow of eight men, all duo to defective
ammunition."
Mr, Collin nsscrtcd that there was not
ono plant In tho United States that can
turn out a complete shell, nnd dcclnrcd
that 10,000.000 rounds of ammunition for
England nre being held up In ono plant
becauso they aro not comptote. The
Allies, ho said, had rejected thousands of
rifles of American mnnufneturo because
they aro Imperfectly made.
In urging mobilization of the Industrial
resources of the United States, Mr. Crfuln
said, "It will require 6,000,000 In Industry
for 1,000,000 men on tho firing line. That
Is the problem wo niUBt face. If we fight
with a first-class power every man,
woman and child In the United Stntes
