FOUGHT WAR OVER LAP DOG
Matter Of History That Conflict Be-

of Pisa Began Thus.

One Of the bittereSt OF the minor
wars of history was fought over a
lap dog. In the thirteenth century a
Florentine emissary attending the cor
Onat!on ceremonies of Frederick ii
saw and admired IA lap dog belonging
TO Il cardinal. The church official, not
ing the admiration. promptly assured
the FlOrentine that the dog was his,
and the emissary agreed 10 send for
II. The ambassador from Pisa saw
and admired the same dog, and was
just rs promptE' promised 1t on the
morrow. Both men sent for the dog.
but the FlOrcntine's servant, being
first, carried 1t away. The citizens OF
Rome, hearing OF the incident, began

the citizens seized ali the F|I0rentine

The war that followed was first Of
a series that ended with Pisa falling
before the triumphant Florentines,
and the beginning of the wane Of
her power. The famous leaning tower
of Pisa was only one skvscraper Of u
score or more, although the others

towers proved valuable in the attacks
of the F%lOrentine army, hut one by

We said we would have to find out when
we could get the steel in order to tell.
So. we went to Mr.. SSchwab TO see II we
could make arrangements with him to
get that steel promptly.
"AS recollect, NJ. Grace said they

Are 0utposts in Conflict, as
Shown in Evidence.

The steel companies were the power
back Of the Iron League dominating
the use of structural steel in all New
York building operations, according to
men who are national figures in bust
ness and finance. They testified before
the Lockwood committee yesterday
concerning the fight waged for the
open shop.
Charles NJ. Schwab. chairman of the
board of governors of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation, and its president,
Eugene C. Grace, were named by the
witnesses as the dictators of terms
whereby no builder in New York, no
matter how big he was, could get
fabricated steel for construction work
excepting through the league and on
an open shop basis
Paul Starrett, president Of the
George a. Fuller Construction Com
pany: Louis Horowitz, president of
the Thompson tarrett Company, and
Harry s. Black of the Fuller COM
pany told OF the terrific battle being
waged between capital and labor in
the steel industry. They told how they
had been compelled at great loss TO
retire from the steel erecting business
and to accept the terms of the steel
trust" All this, they declared. laid
a heavy burden on the cost of building
here.
Telling OF a conference with the
steel men, to whom they had carried
their appeal in their final extremity,
the witnesses quoted Mr.. Grace as de-
livering this ultimatum; I'VE are not
going to let you fellows build up an
organization OF union men who can
refuse to erect our steel and force
union conditions on our shops" and
Mr.. Schwab as saying that the Fuller

there was no trouble getting steel.

Schwab, that I thought the Bethlehem

should be sold only TO shops working

The Fuller company was compelled to
junk steel erecting machinery costing
about $250,000 when forced out of the
structural construction market, Mr.. Star
rett told the committee. He compared
the cost OF steel work in the Commodore

the Iron League got militant"
what then happened to your business

From that time on we bought the
steel erected on the job"
"Your business of constructing steel
disappeared then, didn't it?'
'In New York city, yes"
"And there are still other parts of the
country where a builder can erect his
own steel, are not there?'
YES"
