WILLIAM PHELPS EMO
(New York Herald Tribune)

(NeW York Herald 1rlDulle)
 There is something very appro- priate in the fact that William P. Emo was born in New York City, for it was here and in other large .netropoliseS that he achieved hls success and fame as the father of traffic regulation. Once, Ill l9Oo, MT Enc became exasperated by a traffic jam; at that time no street laws existed, and the confusion was worse confounded by the presence on roadways of both horse drawn vehicles and early automo- biles. By 1903 his rules-less than 500 words long-were adopted as a guiding principle for the New York police. Paris later instituted "Le Systeme Eno," as did London, while his ideas were followed in other American and foreign cities.
 His three principal contributions were the initiation of one-Way streets, first in Paris in 1909; safe Jy islands and rotary traffic, put into effect at Columbus Circle in 1905, at the Arc de Trimphe in 1907, III Piccadilly Circus in 1926 and at the Rond Point on the Avenue des

THE ECONOMIC KEYSTONE OF
 LABOR'S PROSPERITY.
(New York Su1l)

Employers and workers have de- voted hours of time to discussing the major differences that lead to most strikes; reams of paper have been covered with the words .ot governments labor relations eX- perts. with the words of organized labor's leaders, and with the words of spokesmen for management. The general publics confusion over many issues now debated ill labor als- putes is a direct result of this enormous volume of argument ana opinion on strikes and their causes. Yet the truly furdanleptal issue was we'll put into two sentences yesterday by William L. Bait in his talk before the Society for the Ad- vancement of Management. He said:
 The appeal for higher wages is
 understandable and n u r l; within practicable limits it is de-
 sirable, but when it fails to take into account the obligation for
 greater hourly output and lower
 final cost, the seeds of destruc-
 tion are being sown. Labor has steadily made higher and higher
 real earnings in the United Stat
 es because it has generally con- tributed more effort, more skill and so loWer-cost output.
 This is not only sound economics it is also sound labor relations; yet the principle is still imperfectly understood by many who exploit labor for political advantage. The whole history of industry, the his tories of hundreds of particular in- dustries, reveal, again and again, that when labor has striven with management for higher output, and when this has made educUiol. of prices feasible, labor has gained shorter hours and purchasing power and better goods,
