ACCORD ON INDUSTRIAL PEACE
President of Trades and Workers Asso-
citation in Sympathy with Idea.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. on YOUR editorial page. under date
Of January IL. Won have an article on
Seeking Industrial Peace" which strikes 4
responsive chord In my heart and ! desire
to express my entire sympathy with the
sentiment therein contained. II is 4 fact
that before We can have international
peace We must have internal and industrial
resce This &c becoming more and more
apparent 10 thinkers all over the land and
vou have given II voice through the medium
of Jour paper.
There is no good reason why all labor
differences should not be settled in q
friendly way. and that mon should not
meet and dispose 81 their differences I'm y
more civilized spirit than has heretofore
obtained. In your editorial one sentence
seems to stand ouJ 10 me: What gives
promise Of efficiency II it can be done Is TO
educate tho minds Of men 10 appreciate
the practical advantages Of peace over
war. Perhaps also 10 educate their hearts
to desire peace rather than war. and Ger
tainly to educate their conscienccs 10 do to
their fellows that Justice which is the only
secure foundation Of peace"
For years I have thought along the lines
If industrial peace. and recently we or
Ganized what we call the Trades and Work

timent above expressed We have been

DISCUSS FINANCIAL TOPICS
Finance Forum Hears a City Off,
cial and a Banker.

Edmund u. Fisher, Deputy Controller Of
New York City told the Finance Forum Of
the West Side Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation last night many reasons why Con-
troer Prendergast's bill for the sem-an-
nual collection OF taxes would break the
backbone of short time borrowing and
favorably affect the sale of municipal
bonds. He said also that the city. as well
as the nation. needs the so-called central
bank as a sort of institution Of financial
conscience
Mr.. Fisher went 60 far as TO say that the
of the central bank is the existence OF the
of the financial conditions that bring on
panics. His subject was City Borrowing
When he finished speaking some one in the
audience asked him If he thought the
commission system of government would
be practicable for New York.
Il think the question involves matters too
largely political TO be appropriate to the
subject Of the evening was the Deputy
Controllers reply.
