7. R. JR., H0TLY ASSA|LS THOSE
Who WOULD SMASH LABOR UNIONS
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy Warns against Men Who
Would Engeadef Anarchy De c|ares They're Mscheyous.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 2S.-
"Bolshevism is not the only mis-
chievous economic movement that is
abroad in this country. There is an
other which is finding many sup
porters and which is almost as bad.
It is the movement which has as its
aim the smashing of the labor
unions. And those who advocate the
destruction Of the labor unions, ad-
vocate condition which would bring
about anarchy more rapidly than
anything except anarchy ITSELF.
These are the sentiments of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, assistant secretary
Of the navy, as reported by Cornell
ius Vanderbilt, Jr., in an interview
copyrighted by the CIV Newspaper
Service, which has permitted the
International Labor News Service
to use the interview. It follows, in
part: s..
"America is on the brink of ris-
ing tide of disorder. There are doc
trines abroad in this land which, if
not cOntroverted and overcome, may
lead to the fall of this country as
countries in the past have fallen"
said young Teddy" referring to
the movement to smash labor unions.
Among other destructive tenden-
cies, in Colonel Roosevelt's opinion,
are the tendency toward lawbr9ak-
ing and the tendency of some indus
trial slackers to do as little work as
is necessary to hold a job.
This 1awbreak ing and desire to
unduly curtail work." he says,
spring in my opinion, from certain
underlying causes. These causes are
that the working man does not con-
slider his position in industry as per-
fectly recognized. No amount of law
enforcement or exhortation to indus
try will permanently clear the sit
uation unless we recognize this fact
and strive to remedy>it.
"Those who advocate the destruc-
tion of the labor unions advocate a
condition which would engender an
archy more rapidly than anything
but anarchy itself.
Workers Need Unions.
'The unions are essentially right
and a necessary part Of our scheme
Of relationship. The working peo-
pie need unions to protect and ex-
press themselves. They have done a
great good in the country. Those
who advocate their destruction are
doing an un-American, short-sighted
and mischievous work. These oppon-
ents Of the unions urge that wrong
actions have been committed by
them and that they have been at
times represented by crooked men. I
admit it.
"Have not, however, business in
terests at times done wrong? And
have not they also, been at times
represented by crooked men1 They
most certainly have.
Human nature is the same what
ever the days job may be. There
will be a percentage Of bad and fool
ish men in every group Of humans,
persecute trade unions, and to ap-
pear before the supreme court of
the United States and other courts
to argue cases arising from indus
trial disputes.

WOMEN'S STYLES
AFFECT ACOUSTICS
Expert Says Speakers and Singers Can
BE Heard Easier When Audiences
Are All Women.

CHICAGO, June 14.-Women Is modes
| nave direct effect on auditorium acous-
| tics, according to Prof. +. r. Watson of
the department of physics of the uni
verslty OF Illinois. Speakers and
singers can be heard more easily when
their audience is composed chiefly of
women than when it is preponderatelY
masculine, he said . This is he
| cause women, as experiments have
shown, absorb more sound than men,
owing to the clothing worn. y
Professor Watson, who analized the
| acoustic properties of the municipal pier
| here, and whose recommendations for
| improvements were adopted by the city
aut liberties, has devised an instrument
THAI simplifies acoustic analyses. 1t is
an arc-iIght reflector, which sends its
kissing together with beam of light to
inaccessible ceiling surfaces to deter
mine the presence and paths of any
echoes. As the sounds and the light
take the same path, the light indicates
the point in the ceiling surface where
the sound strikes, and the angle of
sound reflection is then fundamentally
computed. A standard organ pipe IS
blown and the time taken for the
sound to die out is measured with a
stop-watch.
'tThe usual trouble in an audi
torium,' said Prof. Watson. ''results
from the fact that the walls do not alb
SOFD SOUND TO any great cAGeHI, anu
consequently the word uttered by the
speaker takes a long time to die out.
In the mean time other words are
spoken that become confused with the
sound of the first words. In some cases
curved walls produce echoes and con-
centrate the sound in unexpected ways.
Sound absorbing materials are the usual
corrective; cushions in the seats are
quite efficient, but in some cases hair
felt should be placed on the walls. The
amount of felt needed is readily calcu-
lated from the acoustic properties of the
room.
'.In a small room there is almost
never any difficulty. but in large rooms
the troubles increase, so that it is neces-
sary to add sound absorbing materials
in addition to the natural furnishings
The closer the walls are to each other,
the more numerous are the reflections of
sound per second. and the more rapid is
the ABSORPTION of sound
Sound travels from speaker at the
rate of about a fifth of mile second
Ii is reflected from the walls of room
and very rapidly fills the entire volume
Because its action is a mystery to many
laymen though the theory has been
carefully worked out by scientists
wrong ideas have grown up about acous-
tics.
tsFor example as much as seven
miles of wire has been strung in an
auditorium although wires as practical
corrective for acoustic difficulties are
useless.
