Famous Oxford
Hurt Through
Ugly Architecture

OXFORD, Eng. Dec. "a. =. by
Mail) on the Corninarket,
famous in the days of coaching ana
Well known to American tourists as
one OF the old inns OF Oxford. Is to
be torn down to make way for
Woolworth store. This Is but one of
the changes Oxford Is soon to know,
for many OF the old leases will soon
expire and the stately timbered
houses of the Broad and Holywell,
with their carved facades and over
hanging upper stories will be re-
placed by modern shops and garages.
Oxford Is no more the quiet retreat
OF the scholar. but a busy and dirty
trading and manufacturing town, no.
ted for the production of marmaladc,
beer and cheap motor cars. The
university. which once held complete
sway. enforcing order with its own
police and bullying all meme trades
men, Is now becoming secondary
interest. The gown has fought the
town for 600 years, often in pitched
battles with swords and bludgeons,
but at last the town has won.
From being one of the most beauti-
full cities In Europe, oxford bids fair
to become the ugliest. English arch
itecture. ana especially public and
commercial architecture has created
very little OF beauty in the past 200
years. and Is now changing its hab-
its. In oxford even the best efforts
of noted modern architects have Gre
ated only ugly and proportional
piles OF stodgy Renaissance and
hole Gothic, while the
suburbs are one dreary wall of the
worst brick and gingerbread.
The noise Of street traffic has be-
come a great nuisance to students
WHOM ant to work. Time was when
a noisy carter or drayman was pretty
sure to become the target Of cloth
yard arrows shot from the windows
of furious scholars. but today a reg
ulation forbids the use of bows and
arrows except for innocent sport,
and now the motorist may honk his
loudest In safety.

ing upon a plan by which all OF the

Christmas a merry one for the young
folks.
The Christmas work az II has been
carried on by the State board OF
charities and corrections has been
very successful 80 far as looking az

Mr.. cornish's Investigations have
,hown. however. that whereas
through the efforts OF such organiza-
lions az the Rotary and kiwanis
Clubs the poor children In the cities
are provided for at the Yuietide sea-
son. those in the country often are
not given enough consideration. 1t
often happens that through the du-
plicntion Of efforts by the municipal
organizations certain Of the children
An those cities receive five or six
gifts. while in ne Of the small
towns the little ones are forgotten
entirely.
Through the plan contemplated BY
Mr.. Cornish for the uniting OF Or
snnIzations in each county for
Christmas work the board OF Char
tiles and corrections would be but
one unit and the poor children out
side OF tho supervision OF the board
would be remembered. Mr.. Cornish
states that the plan has another dis
tirct advantage that would be appre-
ciatci by the business men: Instead
OF n Christmas drive by each organ

countrywide drive for raising funds
for Christmas gifts for all OF the
boys and girls IN that particular
county who would not otherwise be
provided for.

open today and Saturday for the
winding up OF tho business connect

VOTERS REPUDIATE VOTERS
 OF TRADE UNIONISM
By SAMUEL GOMPERS


What Americans think of the SO called American plan" of mismanag ing industry was shown in unmistak- able fashion at the recent munici al election in San Jose, Calf.
 The issue was the American plan versus trade unionism and trade union ism won hands down, the American plan" taking walloping from which it will be a long time recovering
 The Industrial Association, com posed of organized labor's enemies in the California city, lines up solidly be- hind its candidate for city councilman. Labor and other elements opposed to the 'open shop" alias the American plan.'' actively supported the candidacy of William J. Bigger, member of Car penters' Union No. 316, of San Jose, and consistent and aggressive trade unionist Mir. Bigger was elected by a handsome majority.
 The San Jose election is said to have been the first in which the people of any community have had the opportu- nity to show their opinion of the so- called American plan" The people showed no hesitancy in utterly repudia- ting the scheme and voting in favor of an American who stood four-square for American trade unionism and American standards of living.
 The foes of organized labor poured out money in desperate effort to elect their candidate and thereby bolster up their cause. Scurrilous attacks were made on the Labor candidate in full page advertisements appearing in the daily press and lying statements affect ing him were circulated at the eleventh hour of the campaign, in the. hope that sufficient number of votes could be swung to defeat Mir. Bigger.
 The result of the election was con vincing proof of the sound common sense of the San Jose voters and of
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-07-19

their ability to recognize falsehood and un-American principles The high sounding claims made for the t'Ameri- fluence on them, as they had seen with their own eyes the disastrous effects of the so-called plan"
 For three years the decent, law-abid- ing citizens of San Jose had observed the American plan" in operation and they were heartily sick of the whole scheme. They had seen trade and bus mess suffer during the attempt to make San Jose an American plan" city What was worse, they had seen bitter hatred and soul-scaring distrust stir red up in community that believed in living in peace and harmony. Every result of the "open shoppers" campaign, camouhaged under the mis- leading name, American plan," had shown the citizens the futility and madness of the whole elaborate plot to disrupt organized labor. So 1t was no wonder that when the citizens were given the opportunity to express their sentiment, they struck hard against the iniquitous American plan" and all its advocates.
 There is no doubt that the citizens of every American community where the American plan" has been tried world vote as did San Jose if given the chance of voting on the "Plan." Though at first persons may have been deceived by the spacious platitudes and glittering generalities of the 'Ameri can planners" they are now fully cog nizant of the meaning of the scheme and they will have none of it. Let the San Jose election be a warning to those misguided individuals who still think the American people can be persuaded to support an attack on American trade unionism and the principles for which 1t stands.
