Carmody Kissed During
Debate With Stedman
No Decision Announced After
Argument on Socialism;
5000 Hear Speeches

Three thousand persons listened to a
debate on Socialism at Carnegie Hall
last night between Seymour Stedman,
Socialist candidate for Vice President,
and Thomas Carmody. formerly Attor-
ney General of New York. No decision
on the winner was announced, but,
judging from the hissing the partisans
were divided 2,999 for Stedman and one
for Carmody.
The Carmody supporter manifested
his presence by standing up in the au-
dience and interrupting patriotic ut
terances with shouts of "Oh, boy Now
you're talk1ia&.
The hisses began when Mr.. Carmody
declared that Socialism was opposed to
the underlying principles of liberty set
forth in the Constitution. 81 don't
think it is part of Mr.. Stedman's prin-
ciples that a speaker should be hissed
for expressing his opinion,' retorted
the speaker.
Mr.. Stedman attributed to the "capi-

under contract that the government
was not to throw them on the market

Craig Assailed
AS Friend of
Coal Trust
Mayor and La Cuardia
in Heated Exchange With
Comptroller Over Ten
Year Lease to Mclaughlin
Would Aid Independents
''Let's Have the Names"
Craig Demands; Alder
manic Head Gives Them

Comptroller Charles L. Craig was
the target for Mayor Hylan and Major
La Guardia, President of the Board of
Aldermen, at the meeting of the Sink
ing Fund Commission yesterday. The
exchange of verbal shots came over the
granting of ten-year lease to the
Weber Mclaughlin Company, coal
dealers, for coal pocket on a part of
the marginal way betw cen West Thr-
tieth and Thirty-frst streets The
Comptroller voted against the lease on
the ground that all coal pockets should
be placed on the upland and not on
the marginal way.
In explaining his vote in favor of
the lease the Mayor said he believed
in encouraging every independent coal
concern in the city. The Mayor de-
clared that the "coal trust" now en-
Joyed the greatest privileges because
of the action of past administrations,
and that it was about time to grant
privileges to some of "the little in
dependent coal dealers who have the
courage to fight the trust"
Let's Have the Names
What do you mean BIZ the coal
trust?'" asked the Comptroller. Lets
have the Names"
The Mayor ignored the Comptroller,
but the latter insisted that he wanted
to know if the Mayor referred to Far
rell and Burns Bros.
We're on roll call, let's proceed"
said the Mayor.
Major La Guardia promised the
Comptroller that he would tell the
names when his name was called In
explaining his vote the Aldermanic
President said that, while, as a rule,
he believed the marginal way should
not be obstructed, ne agreed with the
Mayor that che commission should
stretch q point in favor of honest COM
petition, where the competitor was an
Independent dealer.
"lll tell you the names of the dis
tributors who have a monopoly in this
city,"s said Major La Guardia. II re-
fer to Burns Bros. and Farrell. These
men seen to have friends in the city
government"
"They are not my friends" said the
Comptroller pin them on yourself!"
The Comptroller added that he saw
no reason for the solicitude all of a
sudden, as the commission had been
voting to create the monopoly for these
companies right along. Major La
Guardia retorted that it hadn't been
done in his time. The lease was
granted,
