lin PERSHINC SQUARE,
To the Citizens of New York:
General Fayolle, Commander of the French
Armies at the Battle of the Somme and of the
French and American Armies on the Aisne
Ma1ne 'front.' and who represented Marshal Foch
at the recent National Convention of the Amer
can Legion was the honor guest Of our Associa-
ton at luncheon, Monday, October 11th
me Generals address, eoquenty commencing
Victory Hall, gave the great Frenchman's esti-
mate OF our project in words that should be read
by every citizen Of New York.
The Association takes this means of giving the
widest publicity to the views of this eminent
soldier and ally who, according to widespread
bellet, Will soon be numbered among the Marshals
of France.
GEORGE w. WINGATE, President
General Fayolle, in his luncheon address. said:
II thank you for the sentiments which General
W1ngate has just expressed and for the very
cordial sautation which you have addressed to
France, the sister republic.
Before the War was finished requested that
the names of our glorious dead be inscribed in
every French commune on marble or bronze
tablets in the churches, city halls in the schools
wherever, IN fact, they had lived. 1t was not
only to keep alive the memory of our dead and
to honor the city or town where they were born,
the family who gave them BIRTH the schools
which formed them, or the neighborhoods where
they had lived; but especially to the end
that future generations may always hear the
voice OF these dead-for the dead do teach us
and their sacrifice constitutes permanent les
son and thus causes the sacred love of country
to endure IN our hearts forever.
"You have had the same thought This thought
certainly proves that sentiments are alike
You have, however, thought to 60 even further
and to create III the heart of the city a national
Memorial where will be gathered the war me
mentos and trophies in grand Pantheon
''You must retain all the principal features Of
your plan-the large Hall of the Allies the
Temple of America, the Forum which will serve
as meeting place for your young people, and
especially that shrine on which will burn end
lessly, as in the old days in the Temple of Vesta,
the blue flame which synbolizes patriotism.
your example will certainly be followed by all
the allied nations, including France and thus
our union will be- so to speak, materiazed-
that union which procured for us victory and
which must remain in the future the pledge of
our peace.
Il raise my glass to your honor General Wineate
and to the honor of you all, gentlemen and
toast the prompt realization of this magnificent
impressive project which is truly in keeping with
the greatness of the United States. TO YOUR
HEALTHr'
The Public Appeal for funds with which to build
Victory Hall will begin on Wednesday, April g. 1921
the Fourth Anniversary of country's entry into
the World War.
On Thanksgiving Day, November IS, 1920, the

ing that the antitrust laws should be
amended to permit a greater latitude
of cooperation in the industry. while,
members from the. large consuming
districts believe government control
of the mines is the proper course.
During the months since Congress
adjourned last June a variety Of hear
ings. discussions and Investigations
have taken place, and though the
short session will not see much legis-
lation passed, the coal situation will
be the center Of much debate. Senator
Calder of New York is chairman of a
committee that-is now investigating
housing conditions all over the coun-
try. including the need Of the public
for coal supply at a reasonable
price. :
Under the leadership Of Herbert
Hoover. its chairman. a committee of
American Institute Of Mining and
Metallurgical Engineers met with
representatives of the bureau Of mines
and the geological survey in WASH
ington recently to discuss methods of
stabilizing the bituminous coal in
dustry. and their findings are ex-
pected to have much weight with
Congress. In brief they made the fol-
lowing suggestions:
Railroads should cooperate in es-
tablishing seasonable differentials in
rates that will induce q summer de-
mand.
transportation facilities should be-
increased and more efficient and.
equitable distribution Of cars as
sured. 95
Lower selling prices In dull seasons
should be encouraged, BY direrentials
in profits. freight rates and wages.

AscRIBED TO FREIGHT CUT
Reason Cited for France Getting
Coal for $14 Ton.

4 sharp decline in the ocean freight
rate on shipment of soft coal to
France is responsible for the pres
ent comparatively low price of coal
in that country, officials of the Ma
tionaI Coal Association said yesterday.
About year ago coal from the
United States delivered in Paris cost
from $50 to SIS a ton, or. at the thsfl
exchange rate, approximately $50 in
francs. Beginning with last spring.
the freight rates on coal dropped
steadily until now they are SO low
that coal can be sold delivered in
Paris at s14.
In the meantime. two important de-
veIopments have taken place. French
coal importing houses, which had
chartered ships for export coal by the
wear or year and a half. reaped a
harvest. At the same time decrease
in ocean freight rates and the abun-
dance Of American coal for export have
Resulted in the United States obtain
~ing business amounting annually to
about 1000, 900 tons, which formerly
belonged to England. The United
states annually exports about 100000
tons Of coal.

ice. Proposals have been made,
too, that there should be estab-
lished a system whereby public
works-the construction of roads,
Improvement of waterways, etc
in periods of unemployment The
government, it is held, could well
afford to aid in periods of indus
trial depression by increasing its
activities along lines indicated.
But to get back to the survey Of
the employment situation which is
about to be begun: The men who
are putting it into operation admit
that 1t will be only a beginning.
But they hope to have the approval
Of Congress and a sufficient appro-
priation to enlarge it. Even with
vastly larger funds. it would take
time to get the plan into full swing.
At present the plan contemplates
a manager of employment survey
in each Of the nine geographical
divisions Of the country laid out by
the census bureau. The service
will obtain accurate pay-Eoll infor-
nation from concerns employing
more than 500 workers in sixty-five
leading industrial centers Of the
country, grouped also according to
the census. No effort will be made
to learn wages paid, but merely
the number of employees. The serv-
ice will also obtain reports as to
general employment conditions
from some 231 locations, which will
be included in its semi-monthly
bulletin.

The survey should make it pos
sible to ascertain: First, the trend
of employment in the manufacture
ing industry as a whole second.
the percentage Of increase or de-
t crease of employment in, any Of the
given specific industries. and third,

These figures show the trend.
That's all. They may give a true
picture for the entire country. but
there is no way of knowing If

present no agency has made a
business of collecting data on en-
ployment throughout the country.

probably will have to fight hard
at the coming session not to have
its appropriations still further cur
tailed. It will need money to
keep up the survey Of the employ
ment situation which it is now
launching.
Other nations are far in advance
Of the United States in the mat
ter Of dealing with the unemploy-
ment Of labor. Great Britain put
into effect last month its new I'M
employment insurance act, extend
ing the scope Of its old law SO that
it covers now about 100000
workers, or rs per cent Of the en-
tire population of the United King
dom. The new law shortens the
period of waiting before the in
surance becomes payable and in
creases the amount. It's operation,
in brief, provides funds for any
worker covered by the law who is
unable to obtain employment aft
er he has applied at one Of the
employment Offices established
throughout the country by the gov
eminent.
The mere suggestion of the es-
tablishment Of such a system in the
United States would cause a howl
Of derision from many members Of
Congress. Yet a mans job is as
essential to him as food or coal,
and the government is now awake
to the fact that it must aid in the
proper distribution of those neces-
stiles il emergency arises.
Forward-lookihg members Of the
Senate and House. however, are
coming more and more to realize
that the subject Of employment is
one that should be, studied, and
that in a country as large as the
United States 1t is only through
the federal government, working
in cooperation with the states.

country. The service is undertake

Spouse to numerous requests from
Industrial concerns.
The tremendous value Of the in
formation, both to employers and
employees, which will result from
such a survey made scientifically
and regularly. is easily under
standable. The employers will learn
where labor is to be found and the
employees will learn where they
can get jobs. Also manufacture,
ers will have an index which will
aid them in regulating their pro-
ductfon. For instance. it would
be folly for producer. in New
York. of goods sold in the indus

money, and lack Of money means

The data obtained should aid in

Preparedness in time of peace

problems OF war. Yet this coun-
try is unprepared to meet any

Yes. and much is being DONE" re-

creased in recent years, with the in
crease In population. But / think /
am safe in saying that in proportion
! to the number OF people there are
! fewer deaths from accidents today
than there were ten years ago. This
is due largely TO the many safety lrst
campaigns that have been conducted
in all parts OF the country. These
campaigns have led To TWO thlngS.
First, much has been done TO guard
and protect the workers who are en-
gagod in dangerous or hazardous oc-

Machines have been equipped with
safeguards. and at the same time edu-
oatiOnal campaigns have taught peo-
pie to be more careful In working
about dangerous machines. In the
second place, the safety first cam
