Both Parties Urged
To Back Military
Training Measure
Camps Association Commit
tee Writes Hays and Cum
mings to Support Senate
Bill as Vital National Issue

A plea for non-partisan support for
the Senate universal military training
bill that this subject be kept out Of
politics is contained in identical let
ters addressed to Chairman Hays Of the
Republican National Committee and
Chairman Cummings, of the Demo-
cratic National Committee. by the
Military Affairs Committee of the
Military Training Camps Association
and made public here to-day.
Gas the President, a Democrat, has
formally announced that he regards
universal training as necessary for ma
tional defense and desirable from the
point of view of Americanization and
physical development" the letter said,
"and as the Republican party has a
majority in Congress, the conditions
are such that it would be possible to
keep this vital national question out
of party politics."
The letter took issue with the slogan
"let the veterans do it; they know
how"
"If the veterans are to be drafted
to fight our future wars" it said, "as
has been proposed in Congress, shen
we ought to pass the necessary draft
law now because we have all learned
the folly Of waiting to prepare until
war is declared. But would any mem
ber of Congress have the temerity to
Introduce, or any political party to
back such bill, and would it have
any chance of passing?
IF not opposition to universal mill
tary training on the ground that the
veterans are trained is simply sham
to lull the people into false security"

Phone Girls Union Calls
For 3 Borough Locals
Dues To Be Is Cents a Month ;
Operators Will Vote on the
Project at Meeting To.night

Plans for organizing the 10000 oper-
ators of the New York Telephone Com
pany were perfected yesterday, accord
ing to Miss Teresa Sullivan, vice presi-
dent of the Boston Telephone Oper-
ators Union, who came here few days
ago with corps of girl assistants to
take up the task OF unionizing the
switchboard workers.
After conferences with Hugh Frayne,
of the American Federation Of Labor,
and other union officials, Miss Sullivan
announced that definite program of
organization had been arranged. New
York City will have three locals, one
in each of the three largest boroughs,
with members in other boroughs affil-
iating with one of the trio. The locals
will exact rs cents a month member
ship as dues and will offer sick and
death benefits.
The program, said Miss Sullivan, will
be placed before the girls at the mass
meeting tonight in Bryant Hall, 725
Sixth Avenue. If 500 young women
sign the roll, the organization will be
formed then and there. If they do
not come forward, the project will be
abandoned and the organizer and her
assistants will return to Boston,
The heads of the corporation are
opposed to the new organization, it is
said, mainly because it involves the
danger of a general tie-up through
sympathy walk-outs. They point out
that as a branch of the international
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers,
affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor, the operators might be called
out at any time to assist other union

YANKTON, S. D., Feb. 24.-In the
first of three addresses in the South
Dakota campaign Major General Leon.
ard Wood, majority Republican candi-
date for President in the March q
primaries. speaking here tonight, urgeG
the prompt deportation of "Reds" and
stringent immigration laws to prevent
more of them coming; the establish
ment of farmers cooperative societies
to get in direct touch with the con-
sumer, and conciliatlon of the differ
ences between capital and labor
through division of profits in busi-
ness.
~, Discussing immigration, General
Wood suggested that incoming persons
should be held for time by the gov
ernment and put through a process of
Amerlcanlzatlon to insure respect for
our institutions and rights Persons
aVowedly hostile should not be allowe d
to enter, he insisted.
United States No Dumping Ground
NV hlle we arc proud that America is
called the home for the oppressed, y
said General Wood Oct US see 20 it
that she does not become the dumping
ground Of the degenerate"
General Wood appealed for increase d
pay for school teachers and urged that
the rural school system be developed
on level with the urban institutions.
He added that as "thc security of our
republic rests largely on the educa-
tlonal systems of the states" it was
urgent that the nation should provide
the best facilities for the schools
After paying general tribute to the
part played by American women during
the war, General Wood suggested that
they devote their especial efforts III
the future to three things: sustaining
the Red Cross work, extending their
activity in national politics, and in
creasing the country's vote by bringing
more men to the polls.
General Wood urged conservation of
resources, especially Of forests, soil,
game, birds, food supply and fish, in
sisting that if We wasted our resources
the coming generations would suffer.
In urging that there be no autocracy
of either capital or labor, but a real
democracy of both, General Wood said: F:
Improve Workers. Conditions
"We must recognize that the work
ingman is neither a machine nor q
commodity, but that he is cola borator
with capital. Individual capacity and
ambition must receive encouragement
and recognition. The employer must
recognize the dignity and status of the
worker and give him every considera-
ton due. The closest possible contact
and the fullest understanding should
be maintained between employer and
employee. Arrangements for the ad-
justmCnt of grievances must be pro-
vided which will work smoothly and
promptly. We must do all we can to
improve the workers living conditions,
to make his surroundings decent and
attractive to himself and family. His
hours of work must be such as to give
him an opportunity for reasonable
recreation with his family during the
hours of daylight.
"The main thing is for labor and
capital TO pull together in the present
great crisis, remembering that only
through cooperation end frank and full
understanding and mutual concessions
can the wheels of industry be kept
going"

The last two sentences were inter
preted by the audience as plea by the
ambassador for Italy's claim upon
Fiume and Dalmatia and the making of
the Adriatic an Italian sea, and as
reply to the charge that Italy was seek
ing the realization Of ambitions not in
conformity with, the ideals for which
the war was fought.
The ambassador denied allegations
that Italy's contributions to the. war
were of unimportant value and that her
eXertions played but q small part in the
realization of ultimate victory. He de-
scribed in detail the history of the war
as regards Italy. and said that she lost
twenty-five times as many men as did
the United States.
Pleads for Cooperation
He pleaded for cooperation in the do
main Of economic interests between the
United States and Italy, so that the
present exchange difficulties might re
solved and the world restored to eco
nomic stability. He said that unless
such cooperation was Forthcoming
there is danger that the exchange may
reach such heights as TO hamper for
several years economic relations be-
tween Europe and America"
ut 10, however, altogether incon-
ceivablc," said the ambassador, that
the two great continents, representing
SUCH glorious and ancient civilizations,
should remain inert while contemplat-
ing ruin on the one hand and grievous
damage on the other. At this moment
courteous controversy is being car
ried on between the two shores, in
which Italy has the misfortune of be-
ing one of the principal interlocutors.
We feel certain that the question viii

of brotherhood which has sustained the
Allies and the United States through

has won victory for all of u.s.

Legislators Plan Curb
On Couging Landlords
From a star Correspondent

from stag Correspondent
ALBANY, Feb. GA determined ef-
fort is to be made by the Legislature
to relieve the housing and high rent
situation in New York City. Senator
James J. Walker called Democratic
Senators into conference this after
noon to consider the rent and housing
bills now before the Legislature as well
as constructive suggestions to put
gouging landlords out of business. He
said afterward it was intended to con-
tlnue the conference tomorrow.
1t generally is agreed that the lack
of building is the root Of the difficulty
but the question that is puzzling the
legislators is how to encourage build
ing in the face of the present high
prices Of material. The several rent
commission bills we're considered. They
are opposed by the representatives of
real estate and building interests, who
hold they will act as deterrent to
building activity. Legislators are ex-
pecting remedial suggestions from
them next week.
The Committee on General Laws of
the Assembly to-day, after hearing
voted to report favorably the bill of
Assemblyman Harry Dimin, Republi-
can, of Kings, to prevent landlords
from raising rents except in May 1t
would prevent a second raise of rents
next October, as New York City land
lords have been threatening.
