The .caustic criticism ef1 the Mayer's
attitude was aroused by a statenient
the Mayer issued yesterday, in which'
he said blame for the Increase in th

net'be laid at his deer.
Mayer Moere was quoted in yester
day's statement as declaring that the

here telily.
, If t there! Is ground for criticising the
shipping beard administration. Cem
mander Clement declared, it is upon the
ground that a perfect "co-ordination
between the different departments has
net been attained."
At the opening of the day's session,
J. F. Richardson, statistician et the
Walsh committee, took the stand te
"correct" pt-vleus testimony regarding
tle master of a certain ship. When
he first testified regarding the report he
made te the committee revering alleged
"Irregularities" he had said that this
captain, whose name was net given,
bad stolen his ship and new wnt In
African' waters offering the vessel for
sale.
Stelen Shlp.Privately Owned
Richardson today said he had been
advised that the ship in question was
privately 'owned ami net under the con
trol of the shipping beard.
Commander 'Clement admitted that
the shipping beard hull in some rases
paid exorbitant wages, common laborers
having at times received the pay of ex
perts. Efferts wer.e made, however, he
said te step this practice.
Questioned regarding reported costly
delays in Handling ships, said te have
resulted in wasted tonnage, he said he
knew of one instance the case of the
steamship Lakc-Ellerslee. The ship, he
said, wnfl unduly delayed at Halifajr,
In drydeck for repairs. It was neces
sary In this case-he asserted, te shift
the ship's cargo In order te lighten the
Stern and expose the propellers. This
Instance was one which he cited as nn
example of "lark of co-operation"."
Interlocking contracts, between oper
ators of shipping beard craft, Com
mander Clement said, was "an abuse"
which is quite common."

N. Y. FINANCIER MIGHT
HARMONIZE FACTIONS
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
HUB Corrrspendrnt Evrnlnr Peblle I.5rr
CepurlgM, ltO, bu PubUe Ltdetr Ce.
Washington, D. 0., Nev. 11. Will
Bernard M. Baruch be the Will II.
Hays of the Democratic party?
The party wants a Will H. nnya.
That Is about all that was decided in
the conferences which have just been '
herd here in Washington by varleua
Democratic leaders.
It was the general opinion that only
by thorough organization from new un
til the next election could the party be
in shape te profit by any such reaction
against the Harding administration as
political prophets regard as one of the-'''
possibilities of the next four years.
The mistake of entering the next
presidential campaign with as little
preparation as was made this time will,
net be repeated by the Democrats. It
has been the opinion of nil the Deme-
cratlc leaders since the task of trying
te elect Cox was undertaken thnt one.
of tbe first necessities of the party was
an organization that worked all tbe.
time and net merely during tbe na
tional campaign.
Fer such preparation there is needed
both a man who will give all his time
and energy te the work, nnd there is
need of money. And the ninn te un
dertake the work must have organizing
capacity of a high order. Will H.
Hayses arc hard te find. The Demo
cratic conferees here decided that they
must have one. But It was net dis
closed whether they had agreed upon
the man or net.
Te Avoid Factionalism
Among these who took a part in the
discussion of the Democratic, future
were Judge Edraend, II. Moere. Con
gressman Frank Dercmus and Senater
Pat' Harrison, all 'recognized as rcpre
senting Cox, nnd Bernard M. Barucb,
who fa" genera!lr'"identlflen'wltH 1 ther"."
McAdoo wing of the Democratic party.
In general, a decision, was reached1 te
avoid factionalism in the party if pos
sible, te leave questions of party policy.
In the control of Senater Oscar Under--weed,
the Democratic fleer leader In'
the upper house, and te postpone reor
ganization of thn party until after the
Harding administration had taken
office. v
Toward the Harding administration
the attitude of the Democratic leaders -.
who gathered here Is one of co-operation.
The President-elect hns premised
te consult with Democratic, as well a
with Republican senators, and the party
feeling is thnt nothing can be gained
with the public by assuming an atti
tude of hostility toward the Republi
can President from the outset. The
Democrats will seek te profit by Hard
ing's mistakes, but they de net intend
te treat the whole Harding administra
tion as n mistake.
Fer the job of organizing the Demo
cratic party looking toward success In
the Congress election, two years from
new, and in the presidential election
of 1024 Mr. Baruch has surh quali
fications that he is net easily over
looked. Mr. Baruch has organizing
rapacity of a high order, as his admin
istration of the War Industries Beard,
abundantly proved. He has leisure,
being a man of Inrge wealth, who has
virtually retired from business. He Is
still yeuug and hns extraordinary
energy. In the Wlli-n campaign, of
1010. nnd ns a member of thp Wilsen
administration during the war, he de
veloped an interest In polities.
Has Strategic Position
Moreover. "Mr. Baruch ecctinlrs n.
