Mayor Seeks End
OfLab0r Troubles
Viii Confer With Leaders
Tomorrow IL, Effort to
Smooth Out Difficulties

Responsibility for the continuance Of
labor troubles which are nindering the
resumption of home building and re-
lief Of the housing situation will be
brought home to labor leaders at a
conference with the Mayor tomorrow
afternoon, Mr.. Hylan announced yes
terday.. He declares seven or eight men
have the power to end this situation
and that nothing further can be done
till he has laid the situation before
them. He is hopeful he can induce
them to smooth out their quarrels, par
ticularly the one between the Building
Trades Council and the bricklayers.
Increased facilities for defending
were voted at meeting of the Mayors
Committee en- Rent Profiteering yes
terday afternoon. The committee also
voted it's belief that the passage of the
Donahue- Boylan bills would offer the
best immediate relief for the situation.
Preparations were completed for the
mass meeting in behalf Of this bill,
which will be held tonight, under the
auspices of the Central Federated
Union, at the Central Opera House, 205
East SiXty-seventh Street.
Has Faith in Men
~ am satisfied that there are seven
or eight men in this city who have it
within their power to say the word
that will launch a building boom which
would be the greatest in the world
said the Mayor in discussing his call
for a conference of labor leaders. "1f
these seven or eight men would give
and take-would put aside old feelings
and get away from the arbitrary atti-
tude they have taken-bricklayers
would be back to work tomorrow, and
other mechanics in the building trades
would follow and would complete the
jobs they have begun.
"I'm going to ask these seven or
eight men to meet me on Friday after
noon at the conclusion of the Board
of Estimate meeting. They will rep
resent the bricklayers and the build
ing trades which are not in harmony
with the bricklayers. Until meet
these men to receive their verdict it
would be useless to make any predic-
tions. But, as / have said before,
have great faith in laboring men gen
orally. There is no controversy be-
tween union men serious enough to
prevent them from answering a great
call in the name Of humanity"
Building Lumber Scarce
The Mayor has decided to delay till
after this conference the naming OF
the stabilizing committee of eleven
which was decided on at his confer
ence on Monday. The selections will
probably be made public early next
week.
Another difficulty which will become
serious if a building boom is started

rules at future date to discharge the
Judiciary Committee from further con-
sideration Of the bill.
Minority Leader Walker served SIM
ilarknotice with respect to his $50 per
cent beer BILL
In serving notice that he would move
for q suspension of the rules, Minority
Leader Walker sasd that he wanted the
whole question threshed out on the
floor Of the Senate. He said that his
$50 per cent beer bill would provide
genuine enforcement. while Senator
Thompson's Anti-Saloon League en-
forcement was bogus ratification bill.
Won't Be Guided by Bigot.
1--WE refuse to be guided by any band
of bigots who try to tell us what we
shall eat and drink" added Walker.
"They have no familiarity with intoxi-
eating beverages, vet they try to tell
US what is and what is not intoxicat-
ing" =, -;,.. .o,,
sideration. The Republican party
owes it to it's history to enforce the
Constitution and to pass an honest en-
forcement measure. l don't mean
$50 per cent or any other sham bill"
Immediately after the Senate ad-
journed Walters called the conference
Of legislative leaders to which Colonel
Gillett was invited.
T The provisions Of Senator Walkers
$50 beer bill we're then gone over for
Colonel Gillett's benefit. He was told
that it was the belief of the legislative
leaders that there was an overwhelming
sentiment throughout the state for a
liberal Interpretation of the Eighteenth
Amendment, but that a too radical
measure might defeat its own purpose.
1t also was pointed out that many dry
legislators had been influenced by the
argument at the dry enforcement heal
ing yesterday, which was made by Will
liam D. Guthrie, that beer containing
$50 per cent Of alcohol by volume
was not intoxicating. This assertion
was backed up by physician who had
conducted experiments.
Senator Walters pointed out that no
such arguments could be made for wine
containing 10 per cent of alcohol.
Colonel Gillett left the conference con-
vinced and he will introduce the Wal
ker $50 beer bill in the Assembly to-
morrow
Thompson Plans a Caucus
Senator Thompson is going to try
to call caucus of Republican SEN
ators. There are at least seven Re-
publican Senators who will refuse to
go into any such caucus if it is called.
Among these is Senator Walters,
who insists, however, that there will
be no caucus for him to bolt. The
other six Republican Senators who
will not enter caucus are Lockwood
and Burlingame, of Kings; Abels, of
the Bronx; Law, of Westchester;
Karle, of Queens, and Sage, of Albany.
This would defeat the object of eau
Gus.
Sweets supporters also are talking
of caucus on the Assembly side There
are twenty-nne Republican Assembly
men from New York City. And nearly
all-if not all of them-would refuse
to enter any caucus for the purpose

Special Bureau Recommend.
ed for Attorney General
to Hunt Down Radicals

ALBANY, March 1.-THE laws al
ready on our statute books. if properly
enforced, are adequate to protect the
institutions Of this state and to pre-
serve the constitutional rights of its
citizens" the Lusks jointr.committee of
the Legislature, which has been investi-
eating radical activities and propa-
eanCa, reported to the Legislature to-
day.
The committee, of which Senator
Clayton r. Lusk, of Cortland, is chair
man, does not recommend any ire
pressive" legislation. The report de-
clares that at the time the committee
was organized, year ago, the laws
designed for the protection of the gov
ernment and institutions of New York
State and of the United States were
continuously violated.
Anarchy Law Ignored
although the statute defining the
crime of criminal anarchy and provid-
ing a suitable penalty therefor had
been on the statute books for more than
eighteen years." the report says, mo
prosecution had been instituted there
under until the evidence gathered by
this committee had been placed in the
hands of various public prosecuting Of
fcers. The Investigations Of this COM
mittec have resulted in large num-
Der of indictments for criminal anarchy
Several of the defendants have been
tried and convicted and are now serving
prison terms"
The reports state that evidence in
possession OF the committee indicates
that the statute still is biting violated
and that constant vigilance must be ex-
sercised in order to procure adequate
enforcement. 1t recommends that the
Attorney General be empowered to es-
tablish in his Office bureau in charge
of deputies especially selected for their
knowledge Of the questions involved,
that the statute still is being violated
CONFIDENTIAL Investigators, assistants
and translators as he shall need to
gather evidence. with respect to viola
tions of existing laws; and that he be
empowered to conduct the prosecutions
under these laws on his own motion
before grand juries. aconcurrently with
the district attorneys Of the various
counties.
Solution for Problems
An enlargement Of the states educa-
tonal problem and an elevation of
teaching standards are essential to the
solution of the problems committed to
the committee for investigation, the
report states,
1t recommends the enactment OF leg
islation to require all teachers in the
public schools to obtain certificates of
qualification in which it is shown that
the holder has indicated satisfactorily
that he will support the state and Fed
eral constitutions and is loyal to the
institutions and laws Of state and ma
ton; that these, certificates be issued
under the direction of the state com
missioner of education, and that nc
teacher shall be employed in the public
schools, after January 1, 1921, unless
such certificate shall have been issued
to him.
Other recommendations include spe-
cial training of teachers engaged in
teaching foreign-born and native
adults and minors over the age of IS;

Women Heads
OF University
Club Resign
Officers and Managers Quit
Owing to Discomfort Over
Dues, Guest Privileges
and sAutOcratic Methods

The officers and managers of the
Women's University Club have re-
signed in q body, owing to discomfort
among the members in regard to club
dues, guest privileges and the "auto-
CRITIC methods" of the board of man
ayers. Mrs. Thomas J. Preston, for
merly Mrs. Grover Cleveland. is presi-
dent Of the club, and Mrs. William
Henry Hays, vice-president.
The crisis was precipitated by the
refusal of the members to accept an
increase of IS a year in the annual
dues, suggested at special meeting
on March 6. Letters were sent to the
twelve hundred members Of the club
early this week by the officers, declar-
ing that, as a result of this "lack OF
confidence" and fearing that the clut
would suffer serious financial loss next
year, which they as officers would be
obliged to make good from their owr
pockets, the officers announced theil
resignation, to take effect at the an
nual meeting on April "a.
The chief cause of dissatisfaction
could be learned yesterday, was the
policy of running the club as hote
for transents."
Cause of Dissatisfaction
The story as told by several members
yesterday may be outlined as follows
That in October twenty-five members
who had twoyear leases on rooms ir
the club were informed their leases
were cancelled; the rooms were ther
rented to transient guests, many Of
whom had the most fragile Of relations
with the club members, the result be,
ing that many club members had scant
use of their own building, while per
feet strangers enjoyed their beautiful
library, rose and gray drawing room
and compact little smoking room; tina,
this change in policy brought no in
creased revenue-in fact, that the clut
was facing a financial crisis which il
was proposed to meet by raising the
dues--and that the club members die
not feel such an increase would bt
necessary if the management were
different.
1t also was aid the managers had va
Gated the leased rooms in order to ge
rid of permanent guests who had beer
too vigilant in complaints of the hous,
management, and that as between tran
sients who scratched the floors will
trunks and members who wrote com
planning letters, the managers preferred
the transients.
The letter Of abdication of the man
New-York tribune., 1920-03-18

appeared yesterday, when it was
learned that there is already scarcity
Of building lumber in the city and
that supplies are hard to get. Lumber
men predicted that prices, which arc
already two to three times what they
were before the war, would advance
sharply If the demand increased sud-
denly.
The small size Of stocks in the lum-
Der yards, only about half of normal,
is due both to the small demand re-
Gently and to the high prices, which
make dealers hesitate to fill their
yards with material which may decline
rapidly in prices before they can dis
pose of it. Another factor in the
trouble Is the coastwise shipping
strike. which has tied up about 2,O00,-
900 feet of lumber now in the harbor.
The disappearance from the lumber
trade Of hundreds Of small vessels,
making it necessarye to transport the
lumber by rail, has added to the diff
Guilty.

Sweets office, as related by Senator
Lockwood, follows:
N"What do you mean by stealing my
idcas?" demanded Speaker Sweet.
"Your ideas? What do you mean? ?"
queried Senator Lockwood.
"The bills of the housing committee.
Why. have had the bill-drafting COM
mission working on some of these same
bills for two weeks"
"Why, the housing committee has had
the bill-drafting commission working
on them for months" said Lockwood.

week ago." persisted Sweet.
"The housing committee" fired back
Lockwood, "has been holding public
hearings for months"
"The Senate can't slight mel" en-
claimed Speaker Sweet. Jimmy Walker
1.-THE minority leader Of the Senate] and
Henry Walters the majority leader of
the Senate] can't ignore me-"
"No one has sighted you" retorted
Lockwood. "No one has ignored you,
We invited you to attend the confer
ences on four different occasions.
myself came to invite you on two occa-
sions, and extended an invitation to
you on those two occasions, and you
did not come"
"But had to 60 to the dentist" said
Speaker Sweet.
II don't care where you went" said
Lockwood "The point is you were in
vited on four different occasions to at
tend the conferences and you did not
attend one Of them"
"Remember what the Assembly did
to the Senate in 1914" cautioned Sweet
pointing his finger at Lockwood.
In 1914 Sweet then leader Of the
lower .bouse, summarily adjourned the
Assembly while the upper house was
still in session passing important legis-
lation.
At this point, according to Senator
Lockwood, Assemblyman Simon L.
Adler, majority leader of the lower
house, said:
Approves of Housing Bills
"These bills of the Housing Com
mittee look to me like very good
legislative program"
"This," said Lockwood, "did not seem
to please Sweet overmuch. Assembly,
man George Fearon, chairman Of Cities
Committee, who had also been called
in by Sweet, was convulsed with laugh
ter"
Speaker Sweet also summoned into
his chamber all the members of the
lower house who had introduced bills
affecting the housing situation to listen
to his grievances.
1t finally was decided that Assembly
man Franklin S. Judson, chairman OF
the Committee on Taxation, should in.
troduce the legislative program Of the
Housing Committee.
This was done before the Assembly
adjourned.
The bills were introduced in the
Senate by Lockwood on behalf of the
Housing committee. In both house!
special rule was adopted which per
mitted the advancement Of all nin'
bills to the order of final passage.
The measures will remain on tn,
calendar until after the hearing OF
them next Tuesday afternoon in tn,
Senate chamber.
Eight of the bills are aimed at check
ing the rapacity of the gouging rem
profiteers. One of them, exemptinl
from the provisions of the state in

the loan is not in excess of $4,000

chapter in the club history, which bids
fair to make the breach wider than
