Some Wilson Ideals

We have become so accustomed to thinking of
Woodrow Wilson as the advocate of the League of
Nations the inventor of the famous fourteen points
and the leader of the Democratic party during the
recent war that we sometimes fail to remember his
ideals which won for him the. presidency in 1922
Being close student of history he understood
the forces undermining democracy in this. natfon
better than most presidents This led to the5ap-
POntment Of the industrial Relations Commission If
1914 Their report spaaeked seastrongly of govern
mept Ownership and similar radical programs that
the special interests practically suppressed its cir
eulati0n 49,.
To understand the ideals of Woodrow Wilson it
is necessary TO go to his writings and the most re-
vealing Of these is 'The New Freedom" From
this book we take the following opinions selected at
random
''Our old social organization was fitted to the hap
piness and prosperity of the masses of the people
and was in thorough harmony with the economic
I'D industrial condition of the times Today a
EVOLUTION has taken place in our whole industrial

words, the small business and the individual should

Big Business must be forced to give up it's control
Of the American government and power must b,
restored to the people by bringing laws up-to-date
and fitting the legal and political system Of the
country to the facts of modern industry. This the
people should demand-not let someone run thei

1t was their inability to turn the
stolen Liberties into cash that caused
some Of the members OF this group to
plan a hoidup Of the registry division at
City Hall station, said the inspectors.
Inspector Mutt" and others whom he
had introduced to the gang kept the
Government fully informed az the plot
progressed.
Scouts frequently went to the post
office to study the ground and plan the
getaway. and each timc inspectors who
knew their faces saw them shopping
around. but made no sign. The armed
guards who now patrol every part Of the
post office stations whero money is kept
were q deterrent but eventually the raid
was decided on. Why 1t was abandoned
simply because ono inspector was recog-
nized, the Government coes not know.

According to the inspectors. Goldsmith
talked freely. saying that while he was
In tho registry division he stole a pack

COURT HOUSE INQUIRY
REVIVED BY UNTERMYER

New sidelights were brought out yes
terday on the limestone and granite bids
for the proposed court house; which were
entertained, but finally rejected by the
Board of Estimate. Before the Lock-
wood housing committee Patrick Ryan,
president OF the Patrick Ryan Construc-
ton Corporation. said his bid for the
granite work was $2.4ss.o0o. or 1901 900
less than the lowest received from other
contractors, members of the National
Building Granite Quarries Association,
z The echoes OF the court house con-
tracts were sounded in an effort by Sam
uel Untermyer to emphasize the effect
Of the granite dealers combination on
the local building industry. Members
Of the committee regarded the disclos-
ures yesterday as important because Of
the fact that new bids on the court house
contracts are now being advertised and
will be opened on Juno 2.
Mr.. Ryan said the contract upon which
the city was ready to proceed. after It
had been determined to construct the
court house of limestone instead of gran
ite. called for payment Of only $f27.ooo
less than he was prepared to do the
work for in granite. He said Comp
trpller Craig asserted the limestone Job
could be done for 500. 900.
IT told the Comptroller" Ryan con-
tinued, that. 100000 was all 1t would
be worth: that nobody would build
court house out of limestone. II a lime
stone man died he would have granite
monument over him"
Samuel Squibb. business agent of the
New York branch OF the Granite Cut
ters Union, explained the rule by which
the granite cutters discouraged the i'm
portation of stone finished outside the
metropolitan district 1t was done to
provide more work for the men, he said.
1--WE never have. and hope we never
will do anything which will stihe local
competition between the employers"
Squibb added. "Our organization Is a
clean, outstanding one, fighting wholly
for the interests of it's members and the
benefit of the industry"
"We quite understand that" said Mr..
Untermyer, "and II there were more
labor leaders of your stamp the labor
movement would be stronger"
Harry II. Sherman. secretary of the
National Building Granite Quarries As
sociation, said the rule that all stone on
jobs of less than $4,000 must be cut in
the metropolitan district had practically
driven outside competition from the New
York field.
