For All the People

The Tribune always has contended
that the parks are for all the people.
Central Park, especially, being loca-
ted as it is, ought to be not only a
center Of art and education but a
breathing space alike for rich and
poor and a playground for children
otherwise deprived Of the child's
rightful heritage Of grass and trees
and flowers.
To make the park merely a care
fully tended setting for bride paths
and automobile drives or a prom
enade for the nurses and baby car
riages of the wealthy would be
turning it over to the use Of a par
ticular class, which would be wholly
unfair and unjust.
But TO introduce into it swimming
pools and cinder tracks and other
provisions for athletics would be
turning it over TO another class-the
athletes - which would be equally
unfair and unjust.
The latter course has been decided
upon by the Board Of Estimate. The
result Of the plan about to be put
into practice will make the park
impossible as a resting spot for the
poor families which now enjoy it.
II will fill it with noise and dirt and
clutter, destroy its beauty and ruin
it utterly.
The swimming pools and athletic
appliances to be introduced-in the
guise Of a memorial-will be used
not by the people from the tene-
ments but by the lusty youth from
the surrounding apartment houses,
who will get there first and monopo-
lie the bathing facilities as they
now monopolize the tennis courts
and baseball fields.
The city has provided great and
adequate Fairgrounds in Van Cort-
landt and Bronx and Pelham Bay
parks, where there is enough room
for everybody and plenty Of quiet
spaces for rest besides.
1t could, at a far less expenditure
than that proposed by the Board Of
Estimate, provide bathing facilities
in the East River and at the ocean
beaches.
This would leave Central Park
what it was intended to be when It
was laid out-a district where all
the people could come to rest and
read and get away from heated
houses, and a center for institutions
such as the Art Museum and the
Museum Of Natural History. Thus
it should be left. 1t is Of vastly
more value to all the people than if
it is made into a Coney Island.
What Mr.. Hylan is doing with the
park is not taking it away from the
rich, who can still roll through it in
their motors or gallop over it's bride
paths without being disturbed by the
hurly-burly about them. He is TAX
ing away from the poor the only
resting place they have within easy
reach.

on foreign gloves, ribbons, linens and
cotton goods will be TO increase do
nestle production, and by creating
more competition reduce prices. That
is the reason why all the domestic
manufacturers are clamoring for pro-
hibitiye duties on imports. They want
to be forced TO sell at lower prices.
and just as soon as the tariff excludes
foreign goods they will do their best
70 sell their products at a loss.
The suggestion that any protected
manufacturer would charge higher
prices just because he was given a
monopoly Of the homo market Is I'M
patriotic. WHIDDEN GRAHAM.

The Way Out

Can't Washington, disregarding
al subordinate matters, find way
to drive both operators and miners
into the open? Can't it force both
or one (for one is enough to face
the square issue Of what sort Of
settlement is acceptable?
Both sides have enveloped them
selves in camouhage. The miners
declare they would have national ar
bitration. Yet when it is offered to
them they refuse it, saying there
must be an advance agreement that
their wages are not TO be lowered.
This Is not arbitration, but prejudg-
meat.
The operators also say they would
arbitrate-but by districts, not ma
tionally. This is absurd. The coal
industry Is a national one. Every
operator completes TO some degree
against every other. There must be
a national wage base if there is to
he industrial peace.
Suppose the arbitral board in
one district decided wages should
come down and in the adjacent dis
trict similar board decided that
wages should 90 up! Divergent de-
cisions would make district arbitra-
ton no arbitration at all. The oper-
ators know this. As matters stand
they are for arbitration in words,
but against 1t IN fact.
To make one or the other side, or
both, uncover is the business of
Washington. It can do it. When
the truth is revealed, when the pub
lie is no longer confused by special
pleadings and misleading state
ments, then public opinion will
quickly mobilize and bring the con-
troversy TO a rapid end.
The intelligent leaders Of the miners
knew when the President declared
for a national settlement that they
had attained their main objective.
Let them now consent to wide-open
arbitration. With the arbitrators TAX
ing into consideration, as they neces-
sarily would costs Of living and the
profits Of the operators, the miners
would have no reason to fear the
decision if their case is what they
say it is.
On the other hand, the operators,
when they pretend TO be for arbi-
tration yet oppose national arbitra-
ton and seek TO promote local set
Elements which will settle nothing,
must be aware what impression they
make on the public.

trate. President Harding is IN a
