CHILD LABOR DAY To

Sunday, Jan. as Syna-
gogues on Jan. "a.

Child Labor day will be observed by
churches Jan. rs; synogogues, Jan. "a,
and schools and clubs, Jan. 26. The re-
turn of the American people to a peace
basis is expected to give special point
to day set apart for emphasis upon
matters of child welfare. In this con-
nection Jane Adams says:
Because certain states have secured
satisfactory legislation for the protec-
ton of children it is easy to assume
that it is no longer necessary to push
child labor reform and similar meas
ures. forgetting the wretched condi-
lions still obtaining in vast areas of
the United States. One day set aside
for the discussion of the needs of chill
dren viewing the subject in it's higher
moral aspects and urging a furtherance
Of child welfare as a religious duty
would, to my mind be most valuable"
NEW LABOR LAW
The year 1919 marked the passage
of the federal child labor law which
places 10 per cent tax on the net
profits Of establishments employing
children under IA years OF age in fac
tories, mills, canneries and manurac-
turfing establishments. Of children I'M
der 16 years in mines and quarries,
and Of children between IA and 16 for
more than horus a day, six days a
week, or at night. The great value of
the federal law lies not so much in the
number of children it affects. for they
are small proportion of all the chill
dren gainfully employed, but in the
fact that 1t makes uniform laws of the
48 states and sets an example for the
states to follow in the industries that
are not reached by the federal law.

Repeal Usury Law
And Capital Will
Support Building e
Banks Charge Big Rate for
Money OH Call, Why Not on
Building? Exempt New
Operations From Taxes

Cali propositions I have seen which
seek to solve the housing problem are
based on some tax exemption, which
will reduce the income of the state just
at a time when the state needs every
cent of revenue it can get" said John
J. Hopper, former Registrar of Man
haitian. Mr.. Hopper's ideas are not ex-
actly similar to those expressed by
many others.
Repeal the usury law, at least as
far as loans on buildings are concerned.
1t is legal to take u per cent per an
mum from the poor and the banks can
collect any rate the market calls for
on call loans. Why not free capital,
ever its services command? sachu-
setts, Maine, Rhode Island Colorado
and California have no usury laws, why
should we?
Exempt new buildings from taxa
ton. The state loses no revenue from
this, for if the buildings are not erected
the state gets no revenue anyhow.
Every one can see that refraining from
taxing buildings is an encouragement
to build, which is what is wanted.
Every building erected increases land
value, therefore
"Tax land values for any increased
revenue the state needs.
"The drastic measures now before
the Legislature to curb rent profteer-
ing are perhaps justified as emergency
measures, but there is nothing in any
of them to encourage house building,
which is absolutely necessary for a
permanent cure to the present evils.
I'VE must always remember that a
tax on land values and a tax on mate
rials (labOr nrOducts0 have OOnOSite ef-
fects. 1t lessons the selling price of
land and increases the cost Of build
ings.
I'VE think our troubles will be all
over if we can stabilize the labor and
material markets When this is done,
just watch the price of vacant land go
up if an increase in the tax rate on
iand values is not imposed to curb this
increase"
New-York tribune., 1920-05-30

be any noticeable decrease in the selling
price Of houses.
Mr.. Rickert is certain that his houses
will be bought as quickly as they are
completed. There is reason to believe
that few Will be carried to completion
before being sold. The houses which
the Rickert Brown Realty Company has
built at Arleigh and Norwood, and
which are to be nearly duplicated with
the big loan obtained from the Metro
poltan, were carefully inspected by Mr..
vanced so much money to continue
these developments speaks we'll for the
houses and the company's plans.
The announcement that the Arleigh
and Norwood developments had been
favored by Mr.. Stabler induced a num-
Der of folks to visit the property.
From information gathered they were
all apartment house dwellers from
Manhattan.
The terms of the loan to the COM
pany extend to the man who buys
house. carrying a Metropolitan Life
mortgage. This means that buyers
will have fifteen years to pay off the
debt, plus interest at 6 per cent.
The prevailing conditions have
brought out strongly the advantages of
home ownership. 1t is indeed more
economical to buy than rent The
houses that will be erected in Astoria
should appeal strongly to the man who
is paying a rental of from $10O to $3.50
a month.
Requests for financial support for
home building projects of every de-
scription have been received during
the week. They came from every sec
tion and from individuals and cor
poratlons. The money which Mr..
Stabler has set aside for home building

Tribune Housing PInn Regarded First
Big Step Taken TO Solue City's Greatest Problem

Homeseekers, great industrial cor
Dorations, builders and real estate men
are one in pr2ising Walter Stabler,
comptroller of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, in coming forth
with S20,000,000 in support Of The
Tribune's plan for the relief of the
housing situation in the metropolitan
district No step has been taken since
the housing condition has become para
mount for nearly every New York fam
lily, that has earned so wide and whole
hearted praise nor which holds greater
promise than Mr.. Stabler's offer to
spend at least S20,000,000 in building
small homes. The story has gone far
and wide, and from Boston and Albany
Baltimore and other places, from the
executives of large industrial plants
confronted with housing problems, and
individuals, builders and real estate
men have come commentator for the
Metropolitan Life, Mr. Stabler and The
Tribune
1t is the opinion of real estate men
and builders that Mr. Stabler's state
ment that he will back New Workers
liberany with money. will have the
effect Of removing the embargo placed
on funds for home construction by
lending institutions, not only in New
York, but throughout the entire coun-
try.
Broad gagged" is the term used by
one builder in discussing the plan and
the financial support offered by Mr..
Stabler. 1t is the most constructive
step that has been taken since the war
ended to give this old town Of ours
homes enough to house all its folks
comfortably and we'll.
ut will stop, rather it will destroy,
the spread Of the Bolshcvik evil, which
has been carried further because of
the housing conditions in this city than
it would have gone without the aid of
such distressing element" was the
expression of one who likes the plan
Social disorder, which was checked by
the passage of the anti-rent laws, has
practically been killed by Mr.. Stabler's
announcement that his company has
500 100000 for the production of homes
The mental equilibrium which was dis
turbed by the shortage of homes and
resulting high rentals will be restored
quickly"
End of Distressing Condition Seen
Letters received by The Tribune
since it's announcement last week OF
the housing plans and the substantial
financial backing OF the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company show clearly
that folks here are greatly disturbed
by the steady increase in rentals anc
the lack of homes, and have received
| the news Of the great forward step, o,
the lead taken by Mr.. Stabler and The
Tribune, as meaning the ultimate enc
OF the most distressing situation tina
has ever confronted New Workers.

to be only the initial investment of the
company in this direction in this part
of the country, will be put to work just
as quickly as it is feasible to do so.
The money is there, actually ready for
use, and not promised offer based on
conditions. Mr.. Stabler said he would
do certain things, and these things he
is doing. He already has advanced
S1,150,000 of his sum to the Rickert-
Brown Realty Company, of So Wander
bilt Avenue, as was announced in last
Sundays Tribune, for the continuation
of its home developments in the Ar
leigh and Norwood sections of Long
Island City, just about fifteen minutes
The Grand Central station.
What this company has been doing
for folks met the approval of Mr..
Stabler, and he unhesitatingly ud
vanced Mr.. Rckert and Mr. Brown and
they might extend their developments
in Astoria and provide homes for more
folks than they had planned for this
year at least.
The start Of the first unit of the two
hundred homes which are to be erected
under the plan at Arleigh and Nor
wood Will be made Tuesday. Every
thing is in readiness for the launching
of the first homes to be erected under
the Tribune plan backed by the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company. The
construction will be carried along as
rapidly and in as great a quantity as
will be possible under the labor and
material market conditions.
No Shortage of Materials
f. J. Rickert, president of the Rick
ert-Rrown Realty Company, said yes
terday that there is no shortage of
building material for small suburban
houses such as this company has built
and will continue building in Arleigh
and Norwood. When the freight situa-
tion is cleared up, he said, there will
be a considerable movement of ma
terial in this direction, which may be
accepted as meaning that Mr.. Rickert
will greatly increase the number of
houses under construction at his de-
velopments when this happens.
The first Of the homes that will be
started on Tuesday win be ready for
occupancy about September i. After
that date there will be a steady low
of new homes at Arleigh and Norwood.
If there are no labor troubles and
material arrives in quantity it is pos
sible that these houses will be ready
before September. They will sell FOR
$4,000 to $4,000. Houses of a higher
cost are considered essential bv
MIR. Stabler. He holds the opinion that
houses that can be built and sold for

New York Promised First Cooperative
Office Structure in Eighteen Months

The first Of the cooperative Office
buildings planned for the Grand Con-
trail district will be ready for use
January, 1922 There is the possibility
that the building will be finished
sooner. but, allowing for labor troubles
and material shortage, the opening
date has been placed eighteen months
away.
Known as the Grand Central Build
ing, it will be thirty-one stories high
and cover the two blocks from Madi-
son to Vanderbilt to Park avenue from
Forty-sixth to Forty-seventh streets.
The Madison Avenue elevation will be
higher than that on Park Avenue. Two
thirds of the tenants Who will occupy
this structure will be landlords and
the other third tenants. The latter
are expected to pay rentals that will
maintain :he structure and meet
operating expenses. The stockholders
will pay over to the Weaver Crawford
Corporation seven years rent for the
space which they will occupy or which
they want in the building.
Largest Cooperative Building in World
The structure will be the largest
cooperative Office structure in the
world. 1t may also be said that it
will be the first office building erected
in this city on the cooperative plan.
There are business buildings, however,
in the lower city now operated on the
cooperative plan. They were bought
by concerns to obtain space and at the
same time keep rentals within bounds.
The structure will be a monster in
proportion Douglas L. Gilman & Co.,
who have charge of the renting of the
building, say that it will be possible
to give corporation from $1,000 to
10000 square feet on one floor in this
building. This volume of uninter-
rupted floor space is expected to appeal
strongly to many corporations be-
cause of the increased efficiency that
comes from one-foor plant.
May House Insurance Trade
1t is this large floor unit which is
expected to win the fire insurance
trade from its old stand in downtown
William Street to the Grand Central
district.
Mr.. Gilman is credited with the
statement that his firm is in negotia-
tion with a concern which would take
100000 square feet. The second build
ing will cover the block to the south
that between Madison and Vanderbilt
avenues, Forty-hfth to Forty-sixth
street. This, too, will be thirty-two
stories, but will not have the area of
the first structure.
