FIGHT BARROOMS
WITH EDUCATION
Hobson Has Plan for World
''Dry" War-Maine's Gov
ernor to Address Drys.

Armed with information on the
victory of prohibition in the United
States, foreign delegates to the Inter-
national Congress against Alcoholism
were ready last night to return home
and conduct among their own peoples
drives against intoxicating liquor.
Business and scientific sessions of
the congress were concluded yester-
day. A field day" Of entertainment
remains for today as a formal ending
of the fifteenth congress, with Gov.
Milliken of Maine, as the principal
speaker.
Richmond Pearson Hobson placed be-
fore the congress at yesterdays ses-
sion resolutions intended to aid the
advocates of world prohibition. The
congress, being unauthorized to act. re-
ferred the resolutions to the interna-
tional committee which governs its ses-
sions.
Hobson Wars on Barrooms.
Mr.. Hobson in his resolutions urged
the application of the serum or
education to the anti-prohibitionists
Of countries where the open barroom
sf3l holds sway. He declared that the
z paign of education employed to
bring about prohibition in the United
States was the best method for drys
in other countries to use. Introduce
ton of the resolutions followed their
adoption by the executive committee
of the World Prohibition Federation,
which met here in connection with
the congress.
Committees from the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union and the
World League Against Alcoholism. MIR.
Hobson said, also were giving the
proposals consideration.
Brewers Are Denounced.
The world federation also adopted
resolutions demanding that Congress
deny citizenship rights and privileges
to ..brewers and others whose business
has been outlawed in this country if
they attempt to invade foreign terri
tory to continue their business. The
resolutions bitterly denounced the re-
ported plans of several large brewing
and distilling interests to engage in
the brewing or distilling of intoxicants
elsewhere.
Delegates to the congress and re-
lated conferences spent apart of the
day in a visit to the tomb and home
of Washington at Mount Vernon.

MR.. FRAYNE IN ERROR.

A CCORDING to the Call, Hugh Frayne, Gen.
"A sral Organizer for the American Federation
Of Labor, declares that The Evening Worlds solu-
ton of the Wall Street explosion is "an insidious
attempt to diScredt the labor movement in the eyes
Of those who are not we'll acquainted with its work
ingS ard purposes"
Other newspapers yesterday carried what puT-
ported to be deprecating comment from individuals
on The Evening Worlds story. Several Of these
took pains to inform The Evening World that they
had been inaccurately quoted The Evening World
hopes that Mr.. Frayne was among the number.
The Evening Worlds story was in no sense an
attack on Organized Labor The first story doti-
ntely stated this.
The Evening World reiteates that it has no
reason to believe the crime was committed by any
organization of laborng men, nor by connvance OF
labor officials The Evening World believes that
the bomberS were individuals driven to desperation
probably crazed-by Brndell and his men, who
have been as thoroughly dsTedited within the ranks
of Organized Labor as with the public.
Organized Labor was not responsible. DlSor-
ganized labor as disorganzed by the insdouS attack
of Brindellism, was indirectly responsible. Zaran-
kos union was the regular labor organization Brn-
dells wolfiSh crew are the outlaws and were under
attack within Me A. F. of L. before the Lockwood
committee exposed them.

To the Editor of The Evening World
Yours is an excellent paper. Time
and again YOU have espoused the
cause of the people, but on the
League issue you were on the wrong
side Of the fence.
You didn't convince or convert
many or how would you account for
the Republican avalanche? You are
belittlinR the man who rolled up the
most tremendous plurality these
United States ever gave to a candi
date. You are scolding those who
voted according TO the dictates of
their conscience, You are vitupera-
tive II not abusive.
The League is beaten to n frazzle.
Let II rest in peace. Why not pick
up a new thread; a live issue? Did
you hear about the continuation
school" law that has been sneaked
through the Legislature? This Is a
sumptuary law of the worst kind, an
economic monstrosity compelling
grown ups" to visit school or forfeit
their liberty. A FRIEND.

A STORY OF THREE MEN.

THIS little story came in the mail. The WRIT

ouch the hearts of men who are kind to Others an
scom the men who are cruel"
Coming home on Saturday night in the
subway noticed opposite me a weary old
man sitting. who had perhaps been working
all day to support family.
"As was looking at him could see him
trying to keep himself awake, as each time his
eyes shut he forcibly opened them. Al last
he fell into a slumber, and By constant jerk
ing and shifting OF the train his hand rested
on the shoulder OF a man TO the left OF him.
The man gave an ugly stare and then another
stare and then gave swift and forcf0le
shrug with his shoulders which awakened the
old man and sent him half dazed into excite
ment.
"He gained consciousness and again fell
fast asleep This time his head rested on
man to the right OF him who was reading
paper This man didn't move an inch for
fear he would awake the man.
Now, I am writing this little incident TO
bring out this: As 1 was sitting there oppo-
site the three men It came deep in my mind:
Here was an old man. weary and tired per-
haps after hard days work. On each side
Of him a man They wore clothes that

WITH THIS HANDICAP?

NAIlukap.
The present moment finds It face to face with
startling revelations Of eookedneSs and graft in one
Of The industries on which L most depends
Conspiracy extotSon and oppression in sinister
forms have fastened on the bAidmg trades. Labor
and the building interests that employ labor are
shown in coTlusicn against the public TYants dis
guised as labor leaders exploit workers In these
trades. Greed and injustice grip the whole building
industry.
Now that the evil stands revealed, there is no
dodging it
New York has got to grapple with these condi-
tions and put an end to them.
Here's where the handicap is heaviest
For the task ahead the city ought to have as
strong an administration as il ever had in the City
Hail.
Instead il finds itself with the weakest
If ever New York needed Mayor with capacity,
courage and clear vision, it needs such a one now.
Instead the city finds itself with Mayor Hylan.
No executive Of a corporation, leave alone the
executive Of great city, ever gave an exhibition of
such muddle-headed incompetence, to put ii chari-
tabiy as that presented by Mayor Hyan in his est-
n1ony before the Lockwood committee.
Take the following from the record, concerning
the letter over the Mayors signature which sug-
gested a change from terra Gotta to limestone for
public school construction:
Lawyer Untermyer TO the Mayor: He
(Hettrick) told you 70 write this (the letter.?
A. don't say he told me to write It; told
him to submit whatever ne had and would
send It along.
Q. And he was just working up the labor
union end OF II Gs a blind to help the lime
stone combinAton2
A. Yes, sir; there is no doubt about that
Q. No doubt about that at all: and all this
CANNON and talk about workngmen and
getting them employment and all the rest Of
i-thst was just plan as TO get that
contract for the limestone r1ugf
A Yes; that to be the way he was
acting.
Q. He fooled you pretty well?
A. Yes; think he fooled a lot Of others
Q, Never mind about them; he fooled you?
A think l was fooled, and many other
people fooled
ltlis needless to go further or to dwell on the
Mayors clumsy efforts to establish his own igno-
rance as TO the personality Of man to whom he
wrote letter after letter and whom he invited to be-
come member Of the Peace Celebration Com
mittee.
What does New York think Of Mayor who lets
somebody else dictate his recommendation on a
building matter involving some Si6,ooo,ooo with
out informing himself as to the facts or troubling
himself as to the motives of the man who did the
dctatng2
Call it only Incompetence and it is still enough
to prove any responsible executive unfit for the
office he fills.

tions that lnderIie the building industry.

A moral effect of these visitations
