Both Old Parlies Bad, Is Slogan Of Socialists Dissenters Opon Municipal Campaign by Advocating Public Ownership as a Cure-Ail for Peopled ills Panken Criticizes Hylan Unemployment is Declared Due to Capital is! ic Ex? ploitation of Prodiacers Democratic and Republican policies and candidates alike were criticized by speakers at the opening of the Social? ist municipal campaign which took place at the Lexington Opera House yesterday afternoon. Municipal Court Justice Jacob Pan ken, Socialist candidate for Mayor; James O'Neal, candidate for President of the Board of Aldermen; Mrs. Har? riet Stanton Blatch, running for Comp? troller, nnd Morris Hillquit were the principal speakers. They addressed an audience of nearly three thousand per? sons. To solve the problems of high prices, shortages of essentials and unemploy? ment, Justice Panken proposed that the city should operate municipal bakeries, slaughter houses, laundries and tr3c , tion lines, as well as sell and deliver coal at cost. As a solution to the hous? ing problem he declared that the city could better have used the sum that tax exemptions on present buil'in; will total to construct homes to be op" orated by the city. Ho charged that the question of a five-cent fare was raised only for election purposes. Ownership Declared Real Issue ''The real issue between the people of our city and the traction interests is j not to what extent the traction trust | shall impose a tax upon the citizens, j but. whether it shall impose any tax I at all," Justice Panken declared. "The I cars run upon and under our streets. ; We built the subways. They are ours. | We own them. We need no private cor j poration to run them for us.' | "We Socialists are in favor of owner ; ship by the people not only of traction I facilities, but of all socially necessary ; means of production and distribution," i the mayoralty candidate declared later. Responsibility for a lack of school .accommodation for 143,000 children in j the city was placed alike on Democrats I and Republicans for the stated reason ! that two Republicans sit in the Board : of Estimate and Apportionment. "It is a business man's administra? tion, so much so that the Mayor, John ; Hylan, attends an opening of a fall j show of a dress manufacturer as the : chief attraction for buyers," he de : clared. "I wonder if "he were used as a : model to show off dresses. In a busi? ness man's administration the Mayor lends himself as? an attraction to the display of lingerie." System Clamed for Idleness The present social system, capital ! istic production and distribution and ; exploitation of the producers were de- | ? clared to cause present unemployment. , The solution advanced was the build 1 ing of better transit facilities, termi j nal markets, canneries, milk stations, electric and gas plants and laundries, j which should reduce the cost of living as well. Candidate O'Neal suggested that the ! . city government should be turned over ! t r> those who actually perform the work , ! of the city, and that the City Hall ? : should be moved up to the Central i Federated Union headquarters. Mrs. Blatch dealt only with the prob- ! 1 lern of education, declaring that in 1917 j the United States stood in illiteracy | : just above Russia, while as a book-buy ing and reading public we fell below i the level cf Spain. Mrs. Blatch charged that neither of j ; the two greater parties intended to : ; meet the part-time situation, or if they did, that they intended to cram ? children into classes already too large,' ' and t'irn more buildings into "two ses- ' .. sion, Ettinger-Gary schools." More thr.n Jl.800 was raised at the | meeting for the Socialist campaign '. fund. Praeger Decorated by Spain for Postal Treaty Former Second Assistant Post- ; master General Negotiated Rate Agreement The King cf Spain has conferred ? | upon Otto Praeger, of 235 West Seventy- : j sixth Street, former Second Assistant j ? Postmaster General, the decoration of i the Royal Order of Isabel la Cat?lica, '? I in recognition of his work in negotiat- ; i ing the Latin-American postal treaty | | last year. Mr. Praeger headed the American t '< delegation to the Universal Postal Con- ' ; press in Madrid last October and No- j . vember. Under his leadership twenty j Latin-American nations joined with ! the United States and Spain in the . ! formation of a model postal union for - , a more liberal and uniform administra- ' i tion of postal affairs between the coun i tries concerned than the European na I tian? felt they could agree to so soon I alter the war. Under the treaty evolved tiie letter mail, as well as : the newspaper and trade literature of i each country, is admitted at^the domes ! tic rate of p'ostage in the country of its : origin. For nearly a quarter of a cen : tury the United States government had ; been attempting to obtain such a con? cession for letter mail alone, but had succeeded only in making arrangements with seven countries and colonies. In the business world Mr. Praeger ? is known as the creator of the United ; ; States air mail and reorganize**- of postal administration on business lines. 'He was postmaster of Washington, D. |C? in 1914 and 1915. On retiring from the postal service M?. Praeger entered industrial research and organization \ work in New York.

"A Seat for Every Child" How Mayor Hy?an Has Stood Hy His Campaign Promise for the Publie Schools of the City More than 140.000 children in the public schools will he on part time in? struction next Friday according to the official estimates of the Board if Edu? cation. This number does not include the 200,000 pupils who are robbed cf a full education by bein;- compelled to study on the double session basis. It is estimated that on Friday the total registration will have reached the as? tounding figure of 026,881 for all the day schotjls. Commencing to-morrow The Tribune will publish each day a brief pen pic? ture of the conditions in each of the schools of the city which have resulted from the policy of neglect aid indif? ference maintained toward the schools by the Hearst-Hylan-Tammany admin? istration during its three years and nine months in office. These stories will show how Mayor Hylan has kept his campaign promise to provide a seat for (.very child in the schools. They will show that in two of the high schools the principals have been compelled to violate the state law because the impossible con? ditions caused by crowding prevent them from giving the students a com? plete course of study. They will show that the part-time ?_,_I evil under the Elylan regime has grown from 30,000 to moi * than 105,000 in the elementar} schools and from barely 1.000 to 33,230 in the hig i cl loi The Tribune investigation further shows that out- of the twenty-eight h:gh schools of the irrt;, only seven are giving their students full instruction, and these seven are among the smallest high schools in the list. The Hylan administration has not built a single high schorl during its term of office. The direct result, of this failure to provide schools, according to the of? ficial statistics o?" the Hoard of Educa? tion, is that out of 83,412 high school students register d, 70,688 r.re on double-session basis none of them re ceiving a full high school education. No less than twelve high schools are on complete double session and nine others are on double session in ono or more annexe*. In nearly all the crowded schools the children are being taught in the audi? toriums and in one case even the stairs were utilized for class purposes. In some of the older school:; the condi? tions ar.' appalling and a direct menace to the health of the children, besides the constant menace caused by the large number of ?ire hazards. "Bill of Rights" For Women Makes Them Real Equals National Parly Declares for a Constitutional Amend? ment To Be Adopted by Nation and All the States WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.?A wom? an's "bill of rights" proposed for ep actment by th? Federal and all state governments to remove all legal dis [ criminations against women was out j lined to-day in a statement by the Na ? tional Woman's party. The program include.? a new consti? tutional amendment, declaring that "no political, civil or lesral disabilities i or inequalities on account of sex or on account of marriage" shall prevail, to-" i gether with a bill to give woman the | same rights, privileges and immunities as men. It was announced that Senator Cur? tis, Republican, of Kansas, and Repre? sentative Fess, Republican, of Ohio, would introduce the proposed amend? ment October 1 and that copies of the new bill ha;! been sent to all ? state chairmen of the Woman's party I except Wisconsin, which already has i enacted the law. Women have the r?2;ht upon mar ' riage to choose their names and have j equal voice in custody of their chil rhren, legitimate or illegitimate, under the proposed new bill of the women's ; organization. Other proposed legal rights for women include suffrage, eligibility for all offices, freedom of contract, choice of domicile, residence or name, jury service, acquisition and control of property, control of labor and earn? ings, eligibility for fiduciary prsitions, equality in grounds for divorce and immunities and penalties for ser; of? fenses.

Smith to Sound Ke viaote To-clav For Democrats Chosen by Upstate Leader*. as Temporary Chairman of Convention H**re; Miss Mills Picked to Preside Local Situation Watched MeGoldriek Heads Platform Committee*! Also Aets in Saine Capacity for Hvlan -:? At a conference of upstate ?eiders of the Democratic party yesterday at the Union Club the following program i was determined upon for the Demo i cratic State Convention, which meets , here to-day and to-morrow: Former Governor Alfred E? Smith i will ;nct as temporary chairman and deliver the keynote speech. Miss Harriet May Mills, of Syra ? cuse, who ran for Secretary of State ? last year, will be permanent chairman. A platform will be adopted attack? ing Governor Miller's policio? and his I traction bill, pledging the party to the : adoption of a bonus for veterans of i the World War and the repeal of ti e Mullan-Gage dry enforcement act and I urging an amendment of the Volstead I act permitting the manufacture and i sale of light wines and beers for bev? erage purposes. McGoldrick Heads Platform Board ; Edward J. McGoldrick, former Su ; preme Court just.ce, will be chairman of the platform committee which will '? d*raw up the platform. The significance of the selection of McGoldrick lies in j the fact that he is chairman of the i committee appointed by the local Democratic organization to draw up the planks on which Mayor Hylan and his running mates will make their ap? peal for suffrage. Upward of a dozen candidates for the Democratic nomination for the Court of Appeals were proposed at yester? day's conference, It was decided not to act on any of the aspirants until to- I day. The more prominently considered :.-. the logical opponent to Justice An | dfews include D?los M. Cosgrove, er" Watertown; Charles J. Tobin, of Al? bany; Supreme Ccurt Justice Henry V. Bofst, oi Amsterdam ; Supreme Court Justice Victor J. Dowling, Edward J. I McGoldrick and Robert K. Johnston, of ! New \'ork; County Judge Frederick Hazzard, of Utica; John T.

Pells Presides at Conference The conference was presided over by j Herbert S. Pells, chairman of the Democratic State Committee. Others who attended included ex-Governor I .Martin IL Glynn, Norman E. Mack, national committeeman; Frank H. Mott, of Jamestown; ex-Mayor James D. Smith of Utica and ex-Mayor Dan? iel Sheehan of Elmira. It can be said that tiie convention to-day will not overlook any possibility of helping the local situation and pre? paring for next year's r;:rr. when an entire state ticker, as well as a United States Senator, will be elected. Y ????> selection of ex-Governor Smith for temporary chairman is the tirs: step the state organization has taken ti ward putting him in the race n? xl year. A! wants to run for States Senator, but most of the Dem cratic leaders want him to run for i. ?vi rnor. $83,000 Raised Toward Jewish Charity Deficit .'iO'?
