as d rival to medicine. In nedi-

supporters of eugenica maintain
that such methods are very linz

environment. no do much, as
much ais ought to be done, you
must improve the race on which
the environment acts. That

Haldane gives some interesting

England occurs mostly in feeble

matter of environment.

that some children are probably

WASHINGTON, May 10 (FP).-
Edwin B. Parker, chairman of the
board of the U. S. Chamber of Com
merce, has circulated copies of his
speech before the 10Th annual meet
ing of that body, in Washington. His
address is largely devoted to warn
ing business men that they must be
honest, and not disgrace their class
or the advocates of public ownership
will get the ear of a tickle public. He
deplores greed and corruption-ap-
parently referring to Fall, Doheny
Sinclair and the Continental Trading
Co. fraud.
Edwin B. Parker appeared in cor
respondence brought before the fed
eral trade commission, last month, as
the official of the chamber who was
active in sending former Gov. Hoard
of Arizona to a conference in Denver
to oppose the Boulder Dam bill. He
urged that every effort be made to
prevent the entry of the government
into the electric power business.

with it until after they hold a meet

group has several delegates in the
right wing convention, but when they
asked to present the demand of their
followers in the International union
that Sigman's destructive war against
the membership be ended, they were
refused admission into the convention

At the so-called convention of the
right wing union, the fight between
the Sigman majority, and the Breslau-
Schlesinger minority group is becom-
ing sharper. Schlesinger is trying to
wrest the presidency from Sigman
but is likely to fail because Sigmar
has greater forces for staging ar
tificial demonstrations of applause
and feet stamping. Yesterday Schles-
niger followed Sigman's lead and
also arranged that bouquets of flow

to answer.
Asks About Deal"
The first question put to Walker
requested details of certain secret
conference attended by a number of
traction barons and others, "two Of
whom were big political leaders"
Jimmie replied with weak denial of
the allegation.
1t is known, however, that such a
meeting did take place. Among those
present were AL Smith, Jimmie
Walker, Frank Hedley, Judge Olvany,
Thomas L. Chadbourne and several
others, including Herbert Bayard
Swope, the executive editor Of the
World. 1t is also known that when,
several months after the meeting.
Walker still continued to talk vigor-
ously of the five cent fare in public
and gave signs of opposing Tammany
discipline, Swope was sent to the
mayor to remind" him of his pledge.
Walker denied" having ATTENDED the
conference, and has since more or less
had his difficulties with Al Smith.
Walker likewise parried Hylan's
second question as to why the city
employed Charles L. Craig, an attor-
ney for traction companies, to fight
the fare increase. The question was
too hard for Jimmie In turn Walker
asked Hylan about a certain meeting
that he (Hylan) had held with T. P.
Shonts, late president of the 1. R. T.,
relative to a fare increase. Hylan's
reply is awaited.
"Carrion Crow"
Walker denied that he had meant
Hylan when on Wednesday he re-
ferred to those who like "carrion
crow" are ready to feed politically
on the decaying body of the present
bad transit situation. 81 did not
name him." Walker said yesterday
81 had in mind an aggregation o.
socialists"
While it is generally, believed that
Walker had really aimed the remark
at Hylan, his later correction is
thought to be not entirely unfounded.
In an article by Bertram D. Wolfe,
which appeared in The DAILY
WORKER of Tuesday detailed an
alysis was made of "The New So
cialism." A reference was there
made to the socialist body as ga
sinking corpse" This, it is believed,
may have been the basis of the may
or's accusation although character
istically he has bit confused his
figures of speech.

The spirit of solidarity manifested
by the strikers on such occasions
is brought daily to the attention of
the National Miners Relief Com
mittee in interviews with local
union delegations who come to their

of the Maurer- Lewis-Brennan forces

These developments following the
unseating yesterday of two militant

currence with resolution on unem-
ployment relief, the establishment of

paign for unemployment insurance on

A resolution introduced by E. P.

ment towards Labor Party met the
same fate. Fowler, delegate of the

other delegate spoke in favor of the

introduced by delegate Tashinsky, a
