 Institutions.

 Syracuse, N. r., June 13.-The death of merit, the substitution of ia- Dor unionism for constitutionalism, and the creation of system of gov ernment the motto of which would be, Inequality of Opportunity these are but a few of the dire goals that labor union leaders are sweeping their following towards in their fight against capital, constitutionalism and equality of opportunity.
 This is the warming contained in an address delivered here this morning by Judge Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel Corporation at the com mencement exercises of Syracuse uni versity.
 The eminent jurist took the oeca- sion in his address this morning to deliver himself of his most bitter de- nunciation of the poison that is seeping into the citizenship of Amer ica" He warned that the colleges and universities of this country must be saved from becoming cesspoots of sovietism.
 Judge Gary's subject was "0ppor- tunity." With passages devoted to great praise of labor, and argument after argument in defense of capital, the speaker demanded that if capital IS to be subjected to governmental in- quiry and restrictions in it's uses, that labor should also be subjected to the same statute Of investigation. He argued that the danger that lies in capital is not so great as the danger that turks in the platform of the most recent demands of labor unions lead CTS. Denouncing the platform and analysing each of the labor union leaders demands, Judge Gary said:
 The platform of labor union lead CTS is the antithesis of the principle Of opportunity. From the written de- mands of labor union leaders 1 quote:
 Standard scale of wages in all trades and classifications of workers. "Check-off system of collecting union dues and assessments.
 Principles of seniority to apply in maintenance, reduction and increase of working force.
 Abolition of company unions. Abolition of physical examination of applicants for employment"
 In his defense of capital, Judge Gary spoke at length of the United States as the most fertile of all fer tile fields of opportunity. He painted America a veritable millineum of op- portunity bounteous haven of hope, for those at least who are cap able of hoping. To engender hope and keep it at it's proper pitch, to quicken ambition and give incentive to high purpose, capital, he declared, was not only merely desirable, but positively and absolutely necessary. There are many reasons, he argued, why the accumulation of capital should be encouraged and protected, why it's possession by an individual or corporation of a state has always been and will continue to be cons'd- cred honorable and desirable. In this connection, he said:
 First of all, 1t is probably the greatest incentive to mental and phy- sical activity, to enterprise and ap- plication, to development and discov- cry. Fundamental to all progress to- ward the realization of ambition for success in any department of human endeavor are the necessities of life = food, raiment and shelter. Unless these are provided, it is useless to moralize or philosophize. Everyone desires protection against physical want and suffering. In this respect humans are not different from the squirrel, the ant or the bee, except we do or should look further ahead. And we know what can be done with accumulated capital"
