Gluck Discusses the Bureau of Industries It was announced last night at the Stratfield, the New England headquarters of John D. Gluck, that James A.

Turner, well known in this city, had been appointed special representative of the Bureau of National Industries. Mr. Turner will in the near future, make a triD to Chicago and later join John D. Gluck at Washington to he'p me matter oi preparing uie ramiu- facturers campaign to prosecute be fore both the Republican and Democratic National Committees a pro-vlsidn in the declaration of principles for a separate governmental department of National Industries. Mr.

Gluck stated to a Farmer reporter that Mr. Turner had represented the Bureau in New England as special agent for the past three years and on account of his ability and natural adaptability to public work, he Mr. Gluck had urged that Mr. Turner be selected from amongst several names submitted to him from various states. After a conference held in New York yesterday, Mr.

Turner was finally settled upon and has accepted the appointment. It appears that Gluck has been carefully laying plans for the past eight years to press this subject. He claims that owing to his political positions in 1908 he could not carry the subject to a successful issue. This year he is politically, so he states, a free lance and in a far better and stronger position. The Department of National Industries such as he proposes would take from the Department of Commerce Labor the Bureau of Manufactures.

It will also have a Bureau of Foreign Commerce, Bureau of twenty-one Latin American Republics and a Bureau of American Possessions. The work of special agents throughout the world would be continued as heretofor under the direction of the Bureau of Manufactures with and by the same staff of government employees. Mr. Gluck further stated, the subject needs no further comment from him. "I invite the manufacturers attention to the original briefs submitted to McKInley at the Chicago Review club.

They show clearly that the original Intent of the Department of Commerce Labor was a Department of Commerce and Industries with a Bureau of Labor and not the reverse. Twenty years has made a great change in this country with the biggest pay roll in the world, bigger than the whole world combined. Even if we did have the Department of Commerce Industries instead of Commerce Labor, it would not fill the bill today. Mark Hanna's political scheme is after all the best things that could happen." Mr. Gluck must depend, he says, entirely on contributions from the manufactures to carry through this work.

He proposes to direct the work from Washington and to send important and instructive literature from that point to two hundred and fifty manufacturers organizations having a membership of eight hundred thousand. He submits ne will be on hand to meet the contingencies which may arise from any senator or congressman. From a political phase ha will operate from Chicago and Baltimore. Gluck says now is the time to prosecute this work. He says it is as popular with the Democrats as with the Republicans.

Read Sulzer's speech at Syracuse. 'Sulzer is the likely Democratic nominee for. governor of New York state. He Is a Democratic congressional leader that generally opposes any Republican move which means more expense to the government. I regard him as distinctly a ment Gluck regards him a distinctly a representative of thelaboring classes.

He has never been defeated for any national political office. STARVATION TO BREAK SPIRIT OF THE ALLENS (Special from TTnitd Press.1) Hillsville, March 30 A starvation campaign against the two lone Allen outlaws still fugitives in the Blue Ridge was started today. The defiant message brought to the detectives by Freel Allen that the men will never surrender together with the half-starved condition of the outlaw stripling, decided the posse leaders that loss of life would be averted if the siege plan were adopted. Freel and Claude Allen, the two outlaws Just captured, say their kin are suffering1 for food A few days more of dodging through the mountains, the detecitves think, may crush the Allen spirit. Carroll county prosecuting officials are working steadily to secure statements from all eye witnesses.

The Aliens defense will be that Floyd Allen, the prisoner on trial before Judge Massie on the day of the murders, not fire until the court officers opened the fusilade. It was considered doubtful here that Freel Allen's frank admission to interviewers that the gang had planned the courtroom murders could be used against him in the trial.
