The stimulation of the business of
local contractors and full employment
of New Haven labor in New Haven on
New Haven jobs will build up financial
resources of the city in those lines
Moreover the ever widening influence of
such growth will stimulate home indus
tries and the general commercial bus
mess of the community. 1t will key up
and keep on better level the merchant

4. 1t should be matter of pride that
New Haven property owners, whether
individual or corporate, have employed
New Haven talent as architects and
builders and those who plan public or
sern1-public construction work should in
duty to the city endeavor, unless I'M
usual circumstances prevent, to encour-
age New Haven business.
Your committee believes that a pre-
sentation of this general subject with
our recommendations will serve to
focus attention upon this problem and
cause the general public to debate it
pretty generally We do not expect that
everybody will agree with US. We do
hope that out of discussion will come
such an awakening of interest as will
cause those who have important bus
mess decisions to make to weigh very
carefully the award of business outside
of New Haven if it is equally profit
able to them to favor local talent
We also feel that this general subject
of friendly attitude to home labor
reaches very widely into the general
merchandising field and although it is
not directly part of this report your
committee takes occasion to reiterate
the position of the Chamber of Com
merce in the Buy in New Haven" cam
paign of few years ago, that New
Haven people should give first consid-
Grafton to spending their money with

his less specialized organization can
develop. In short, the large contracting
firm from outside the city is likely to
maintain one or more expert statesmen
of their work, an engineer who is
trained along the lines not of building
and construction but of talking building
and construction and organization and
speed, etc.
(e) The claim is often made that the
out of town man has not only larger
organization, but a great amount of
varied equipment, but the fact is that
much of the equipment of the out of
town contractor has been leased from
local men.
CD That the contractor who comes
to New Haven must needs hire his me-
chanics and his ordinary labor in the
local field which means that the out of
town contractor draws very heavily
from the forces of the local contractor
and thereby creates in many instances
differences in wage scales which disor-
ganizes the local condition and general
" results in the long run in no gain
to the wage Garner, considerably difficult
for the home employing contractor, and
no benefit to the community as whole.

In taking Our position we are not con-

The method may take thousand forms
in practice. The form may vary for

secure the universal recognition of the
democratic idea. I would not under
take to say, offhand, for instance how
the democratic method should be ap-
piled to the steel or any other indus

adaptation.
Putting democracy into industry is

It's pretty good betting that the

The Columbia, S. c.. State sums up
compactly in the following the result
if the Senate should fail to confirm
the treaty:
Where Should We Stand?
If the partisans, under the mad
leadership or counsel of Senators
Lodge, Knox, Borah. Johnson and
Reed, succeed in assassinating the
treaty of peace, where should we
stand? What would be the status of
this country among the great powers
of the world-its late compeers in the
war for humanity?
There are at least two rather grue-
some possibilities. We should either
have to declare a state of peace by
some such undignifed device as a
senatorial resolution; or we should
have to go, chat in hand"-Senator
| Lodges apt phrase-to solicit peace
from Berlin or Weimar.
| Either horn of the dilemma would
gore US terribly.
If we were forced to sue for peace,
we could not, of course, expect to
/ get anything like the terms that we
should get under the treaty of Yer
sailles, which was a dictated peace.
! We should have to dicker about COM
mercial matters and political rights
CT Germans in this country. and many
other unpleasant things, and we
should, of course, lose whatever we
stand, under the treaty, to gain in
the way of reparations and restitu-
tons.
If, on the other hand, we should
content ourselves, like our friend and
guide, China, with "peace by resolu
ton" of the Senate, we should foregC
everything we have gained, even much
of the honor of fighting and greatly
helping to win the war.
In either case. we should have to re

One of the beauties of this contro-
versy over the proposed leper colony
Is that it has been advertised to the
whole world that Florida has eighteen
OF twenty lepers, and that they are
not adequately segregated. That is
something that not even Florida, let
alone other states. knew before. and
Of course its a fine advertisement for
US. People who go to California or
Louisiana know that lepers-if they
think of them at all-are shut off to
themselves, while if they come to
Florida they don't know when they
will step in a leper's tracks. 1t is
evident from what DIR. Greene says
the public in Florida can't be guarded
from the lepers until the Legislature
meets, appropriates at least forty
thousand dollars to build a home and
twenty-five thousand dollars a year
to care for him. All this bad adver-
Using and expense would have been
saved the state by quietly allowing
the government to put up the pro-
posed leper's home and turning the
Florida lepers over to it's care.

Hylan is paper-backed politician

it's allies. No loyal American would

men who have proved their loyalty

that had a German orchestra the
other night did not have it because
they loved music. They had it to
spite Americans, and we hope the
next time such thing happens the

The Star is very sorry to hear of
the death at Tampa of Edward K.
Cunby-sorry both because Mr.. Gun
by was a good and useful man, and
because he was a highly priced per-
sonal friend. Mr.. Gunby was a native
of Maryland, and came to Florida
when quite a young man. He first
made his home in Orlando and studied
law in the office of Judge E. K. Fos-
ter, with whom he subsequently form
ed a partnership. Two finer men or
better lawyers never lived. They were
high-priced men but several times
from their love of justice took cases
where the defendants were not able
to pay, and won them, too. Judge
Foster becoming old retired from
practice, and Mr.. Gunby went to
Tampa, where he made his home for
twenty years. He was a staunch re-
publican, but few democrats who
knew him were not his friends. He
ran for various offices on the republi-
| can ticket, and while he was never
elected, nor expected to be elected, he
always won the hearty good will and
respect of his political opponents. His
last visit to Ocala was in 1912, when
he was a candidate for Congress on
the progressive ticket, and he was
given a cordial welcome even by those
who had no intention of voting for
him. While retaining most of his in
terts in Florida, he has been for the
last half a dozen years a resident of
Atlanta. He returned to Tampa a
few days ago, to visit friends, and
was the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. T. c.
Taliaferro. Arising early Wednesday
morning and going. as he supposed to
the bathroom, he opened the door to
a small staircare. There was no light
turned on and he missed his footing
and fell to the bottom of the stair
