PLANS FOR \ MEMORIAL TO WORLD WAR VETS

TO WORLD WAR hE1S
 New Britain folk are again turn ing their thoughts toward the erection of memorial to veterans of the last and greatest war ill which the United States took part, Their attention has been called by the agitation for and the decision to have a memorial for Spanish War veterans, which is soon to be erected at one of the entrances to Willow Brook park, near the athletic field. Needless to say there has been a wish, somewhat dor mant in many quarters, to see a suitable memorial to latter day sons of the city erected, the sooner the better. And now, it is believed would be a good time to go ahead.
 The arch and pillars rising with the incline up the side Of Walnut Hill park, off of West Main street, is an impressive sight, even when it's wooden structure becomes somewhat weatherWorn. Everyone in the city wishes that this struc- ture could be made permanent by duplication in marble. It is placed at an admirable vantage point, where 1t can most readily be seen. It is gracefully desinged and the symbolism of the smaller pillars, one 10 each soldier who laid down his life. bound one to another by chains representing their unity of purpose. is readily marked. Out of town visitors, many of whom were leading a military life, have com mented upon the gracefuIness and appropriateness Of the structure. They have freely stated that it was the best thing that they had seen.
 Unfortunately, however, engineers have stated that the weight of a marble arch and pillars could not be sustained on the slope without a great expense in digging holes for concrete foundations to consider able depth. This seems to deal death blow to the project of dupl- eating the present arch.
 A counter plan for a memorial shaft and structure at the top of the hill has been advanced. It has not met with the general approval that might be wished, possibly be- cause it is a new scheme and be- cause the public Is more or less used to the present arch, and likcs it.
 But, it is time to strike while. the iron of demand for suitable World War memorial is hot. If a memorial is destined to furnish an .impclline cause for patriotism to the younger generation the longer we have i' the more good it will do and the earlier it is placed the more chii- dren it will affect, particgiaI.y if II is erected when the days of war are bright in the memory Of youth. If memorial is destined 10 furnish tangible proof of the appreciation of city for the services Of its soldiers and ertde0ce of its pride in it's gallant sons, the time to erect it is when those who fought and lived may see it, and when ths parents Of those who died may eN- tract some solace from inc monu- ment.
 Whatever is done should be don. soon. It is going 10 he done some day, there is every argument 10 do it now. The cost may be great if will be greater later on. And # will accomplish more now than lt wd later. If a method can he found 'o duplicate the present arch le. n. do so. Substitutes are o.antime. unacceptable, but a shaft aa 'Ae top of the hill would be an attroc- live addition 10 the city.

Corruption

Are Rampant
West Virginia Being Looted by
Big Employers Anti
Union Agents

Charleston, w. Va. - This
state is awakening to corruption
and graft that has been rampant
while citizens listened to the
pleas of claw and order" by an
ti-union employers who were
given a free hand to use the
powers of government against
organized workers.
The state auditor is charged with
corruption in office. Forgery and il
legal withdrawal of state funds are
included in the Indictment.
While the state legislature refused
to check usurpation of government by
the coal owners and other anti-union
employers, it is now shown that these
lawmakers wasted the peoples money
by attaching an army of ward heel
ers to the law-making branch.
In the senate 1I3 flunkies waited
on 80 senators at a cost of $4,000,
and the house used $4,000 for the
same purpose. These items are in
dicative of what was happening while
the people were warned against trade

"The economic history of nations is

This wealth has been produced by
laborers who work upon the farms,

Historians write about this history,
statesmen talk about it, but the
workers make it. Besides, making
this history men and women who lab

LABOR IS POWER TO CREATE:

Duluth, Mimi. - Labor is

United States Senator Shipstead
in a Labor Day address in tnis
city.
'If labor is commodity it is some
thing which can be sold to the high
est bidder; it is piece of property .
said Senator Shipstead.
"The dictionary defines property as
something you can own TO the exclu-
sion of all others. 1t can be be-
queathed to your heirs and can give
title to it. You can not give that
with labor. 1t is inseparable from
the body of human being"
The speaker said that the slogan of
a living wage" is erroneous. "a
living wage assumes a wage which
merely provides existence. A horse

Pres. Green Addresses the Con

Industry

Philadelphia, Pa. - Employ
ers' substitute for trade unions
lacks stability and will eventu-

an address before the Congress
of American Industry.
"There can only be one right way"
said Mr.. Green. Either the organ
ization of workers into their own
trade unions, as represented by the
A. F. of L., is right, or the individual
union, commonly called the company
'union,' is right. Both can not be
right. Both can not succeed One
must survive and the other must per-
ish. Such an outcome is inevitable.
"It is inconceivable that the or
ganization of the workers, originated
by the workers, controlled and erect
ed by the workers, will pass away"
President Green said that in this
age of cooperation it is impossible
to maintain an industrial equilibrium
with workers unorganized while en-
ployers are grouped in corporations
and associations.

AS further aid to the state in con-
victing the two men, the department
of justice had as many as IL secret
agents at one time working to develop
a case against the accused. One was
planted" in a cell with Sacco to trap
him into damaging statements. To
keep the department acquainted with
activities of the defense, agents serv-
ed on Sacco-Vanzetti committees.
The Letherman-Weyland affidavits
sustain the defense that the convic-
ton was frame-up.
The defense has been strengthened
by Celestino F. Maderios' claim that
he belonged to a gang that committed
the murder for which Sacco and Van
zetti have been found guilty.
Maderios is under sentence of
death for killing a bank cashier. He
was reprieved on the eve of his execu-
ton that he may testify in the event
that Sacco and Vanzetti secure q

Cost of Large Cities
Will Check Growth

Chicago, Ill.-The increasing cost
of maintaining large cities will event
ually check their growth, is the opin-
ion formed by electric power and util-
ity companies after a survey of pow
er conditions in middle western
states.
Some cities are growing so large
that their costs are just about becom-
ing prohibitive, it is stated. Values
in these areas are sky high and taxes
are up in proportion. Industries are
concerned over costs, and it is as
sumed that when they can figure out
saving by taking advantage of the
less expensive conditions in smaller
cities, the tendency toward centraliza-
tion will stop.

Bread Trust
Is Legal Says
Atty General
Non Competitive Units Classed
as Mergers, Not
as Trusts

Washington, d. C.-The De-
partment of Justice acknowl-
edges that the antitrust laws
can not cope with such combina-
tions as the "bread trust" At
torney General Sargent says the
laws should be amended-"if it
is the desire of the country to
prohibit all forms of combina-
tions."
"The Ward Food Products case,"
he says, illustrates the contention
advanced in some quarters that the
antitrust laws need strengthening.
The three constituent companies
Continental Baking Company, General
Baking Corporation and Ward Baking
Corporation-each own a considerable
number of bakeries.
"To the extent that they have ac-
quired those bakeries from others
they have been careful to select plants
so located that they do not serve the
same territory in any substantial de-
gree.
"Ihe bringing of considerable
number of bakeries under a common
control may be regarded as an unde-
sirable thing. But there is nothing
in the federal trust laws that prevents
the combining of purely non-competi-
tive units. Hence, while the anti
trust laws were adequate to prevent
merger of the three great COM
panies, they having many bakeries
serving common territory, such laws
could not be invoked against such
companies individually because of
the evident care taken to avoid acquis-
ition of competing bakeries"

President Duncan of the A. F. of L..

industry a quarter of a century ago.
At that time he presided at meeting
that resulted in the unity of dual tex
tile organizations. The delegates
gave the trade union veteran a rous-
ing reception when he was introduc-
ed by President Mcmahon.
The latter said that when the pres
ent union was launched, the textile
industry was on a 60-hour basis.
"There has been an outstanding gain
in shorter hours, better sanitary con-
ditions and safety devices, as well as
higher wages" he said.
