Text of Roosevelt Address
Government Must Give Constant and Reasonable
Help, Says President in Dedication of
Triborongh BRIDGE
bx the Associated Press.

By the Assc ceiated Press.
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE follow
ing IS the text of President Roose-
velt's speech dedicating the Tri-
borough Bridge:
Many Of you who are here today
can remember that when you were
boys and girls the greater part OF
what are now the boroughs of the
Bronx and Queens were cultivated as
farm land. Not much more than 100
years ago, my own great-grandfather
owned farm in Harlem close to the
Manhattan approach to this bridge
In the older days there was no need
for q great structure connecting Long
Island and Manhattan and the main
land; and even if a vast population
had needed it, human ingenuity and
engineering skill could not have
built it.
Some Of us who are charged with
the responsibilities of government
pause from time to time to ask our
selves whether human needs and
human invention are going to change
as greatly In the generations to come
as they have in the generation that
has passed. 1t Is not alone that as
time goes by we are confronted with
new needs-needs created by hitherto
undreamed-of conditions. It Is also
because growth in human knowledge
labels now as needs many things
which in the olden days we did not
think Of as needs.
For instance, no one used to protest
against the dumping of sewage and
garbage into our rivers and harbors
No one used to protest that our school
houses were badly ventilated and badly
lighted. No one used to protest be-
cause there were no Fairgrounds for
children in crowded tenement areas
No one used to protest against fire
traps or factory smoke.
Few Still Protest
Needed Changes.
In those days government was not
interested In helping to provide bath
ing beaches and swimming pools and
recreational areas; nor had those who
toll conceived the thought that they
were entitled to at least one day OF
rest in seven and an annual vacation
There are few among us who still,
consciously or unconsciously live In q
state Of constant protest against the
daily processes of meeting modern
needs. Most Of us are willing to rec
ognize change and to give 1t reason
able and constant help.
Government itself, whether 1t be
that of city or that Of q sovereign
State or that Of the Union of States,
must, If it Is to survive, recognize
change and give to new needs rea-
sonable and constant help. Govern
ment itself cannot close its eyes to
the pollution Of waters, to the erosion
Of soil, to the slashing Of forests, any
more than it can close its eyes to the
need for slum clearance and schools
and bridges. Government itself Is, OF
necessity, more complex because all
life Is more complex. The machinery
Of government and the cost OF gov
ernment under Mayor Seth Low In
1901 would not serve the essential
needs of the people Of the city in the
days of Mayor La Guardia in 1895.
People require and people are demand
ing up-to-date government In place OF
antiquated government, Just as they
are requiring and demanding TIL

eient ferries.

GOODYEAR BLAMED
IN GADSDEN FIGHTS
[ abor Board Complaint AC-
cuSeS Rubber Firm
of Completely.

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
was charged today in National Labor
Board complaint with completely in
three separate assaults at Gadsden,
Ala. on members and organizers Of
the United Rubber Workers of Amer
lea"
The board also held that the Stahl-
Mate Club at the company's Akron,
Ohio, plant was organized for ''the
avowed purpose of disrupting the
membership of the United Rubber
Workers"
1T is alleged" the boards an
nouncement said, that Goodyear fore
men, supervisors and flying squadron
members were encouraged by the
company to make the attacks cat
Gadsden), one on S. H. Dalrymple, the
rubber workers president, a second
on workers within the walls of the
Goodyear Gadsden plant and a third
on II union members trapped in a
Gadsden Office building by a mob
which smashed down the door and
beat the unarmed men"
Beating Of Company Men" Cited.
Goodyear officials, the complaint as
serted, found justification for this
violence in the fact that similar treat
ment had been given members of the
Goodyear industrial assembly by
union workers at Akron"
The board asserted that at the Ohio
plant the company encouraged the
arrest of the attackers on charges
of melting riots, while at Gadsden
the only company action was to dis
charge the victims of the acts of
violence"
The Industrial Assembly," the
board held to be under the domina-
tion of the company. Representatives
OF the assembly, the board said, were
permitted by the company ito NAL
treat Gadsgen plant employees who are
members of the United Rubber Work
ers."
Plant Removal Threatened.
Among other charges in the board
complaint were discriminatory dis
charges Of II union members at Gads-
den. Threats to remove plants from
Akron, where rubber workers recently
won a stroke, were coupled by the
board with company statements that
production may be increased In the
less organized Gadsden plant"
The board said the six weeks strike
at Akron materially affected the
flow of raw materials and manufac-
tured goods from and into the chan
nels of interstate and foreign COM
nlerce"
At that time the board said, work
ers imposed as a condition of set
ting the strike that the company
discontinue domination of the In
oustrial Assembly" The workers later
withdrew this upon the new condi-
tion that charge of company union
domination be filed with the Labor
Board

HERO.

THE attempted robbery Of a hard
ware store in the northeast sec
ton of the city by bandit who failed
to get any money after striking the
115-pound proprietor with a cold
chisel, only to find his own weight
of 1870 pounds no match for the nerve
of the smaller man, brought forth
some interesting features.
First, the store was jammed with
customers until the regular night
closing hour of o'clock. And they
were customers, too, because, drawn
to the store by curiosity, few left
without making purchases of at least
10 cents each.
The next day there was still a
steady line of customers" Included
among these we're two young girls
bearing autograph books.
Approaching a young clerk, whom
they took to be the proprietor, they
asked very politely, will you please
let us have your autograph"
Certainly" replied the clerk, as
he wrote CLARK Gable" in each of the
books and sent the girls happily on
their way.
SCALPED.
A LADY from a small country
n town, who has lately moved to
Washington to live, was sure she had
been enmeshed in some sort of brutal
murder episode, common to big cities,
the other evening.
Returning from downtown she was
accosted by her young son, panic
stricken, crying:
"Oh, mama, it's our landlady. She's
killed. Her heads been cut of. Boo
boo-oo!"
Almost afraid to go in, she pressed
the child for particulars, and was
still more Mortified to hear:
II did it, mama. scalped her!
Boo-oo-oo."

Then. as she looked on in amazed
disbelief, the motorman spied her shoe,
stopped the car, and motioned for her
to rescue it. She crept out cautiously
from the curb, picked up the shoe,
put it on and resumed her march to
work.

Britain sought today to forget
former King Edward, with the

the beat of drums through the
heart of London, proclaiming the
new Kings coronation date.
Like they kept their country
men in ignorance of Edwards
romance, while all the rest of the
world knew about it, British news
papers now have placed a volun-
tary censorship on news about the
exiied Duke of Windsor.
Hundreds of letters keep pour
ing into the Times on the case,
but are thrown away.
The government sharply refused
a request by phonograph COM
pany to produce and sell record
ings of Edwards farewell speech,
in spite of many public requests
for the record.
All attention, instead, was TO-
cused on King George, Queen
Elizabeth, and little Princess
Elizabeth, heir-presumptive.
