Including a few ministers, who have managed to get into bad political company, a great proportion of the "redeemers" are men who are lined up at the political and contracting swill trough of Wall street. Even those who have to do with the conduct of Wall street's "vodka dispensaries." where steel workers are enabled to buy beer, brandy and whisky have to do with the "committee." A Wall street contractor will functionate at tonight's redemption meeting. Present, it is expected, will be the redeeming incorporators "who are getting theirs" at Wall street's contracting swill trough. Advocates of the campaign "reform" stuff say any attacks on the "committee" are eiams at the newly-arrived clergymen. However, as the new ministers are not yet onto the hyprocisy of the Wall street political touts no censure has been directed against them by their rartshloners because they are not yet onto the ropes.

When the young speaker said: "What you men want, is less hours and more wages." she got .a big hand, and someone said that the twelve-hour a day men at the ateel plant coke ovens and openhearths led the clapping. "I'm going to speak at Indiana Harbor on Tuesday night and in Hammond on Wednesday night." said Mrs. Martin as she counted a hatful of money, contributed by her audience. Proceeds go to the state committee. COURT RESTRAINS HOUSE MOVING Judge Greenwald in Gary superior court today, issued a restraining order against Walter J.

National Council of Defense Education Chief Issues Statement. NEW YORK. Sept. 18. The Public Welfare committee began its defense, of the Gary system of educaton yesterday by giving the opinion of II. E. Miles of Ra.ine, Wis. who is chairman of the Section on Industrial Training for the War. Emergency r.f the Advisory Commission of the Council of National Defense. Mr. Miles is a former president of the Wisconsin Stite Board of Industrial Education, former Chairman of the Committee on Vocational Education of the United States Chamber of Commerce, and is chairman of the Committee on Industrial Education of the National Association of Manufacturers. A Step In Right Direction. In Mr. Miles' opinion. New York city has stepped in the light direction by introducing the system of vocational training. He is not surprised that therei has been criticism ef the Gary plan, and adds that it wll talie ten years to get results frrvrn the j.'an as far as it is in operation now. "The idea of vocational training in the schools," he says, "is merely the working of a social and economic development, and is not a matter for the credit of any Individual group. It will establish a national effl lency on bn.adfr lines ti an have been dreamed ef by having the growing generation trained to the mastery of successive tasks, through competent training in some one. and in that way the Individual will lift himself to a better place, and provide a larger ind finer life. "X.- one with the least intelligence will conceive that training in trie humbler occupation will have any tendency to keep a person in those occupations, but to make a boy or girl master of sorn one thing gives him or her a distinct advantage in the battle of life." The charge that the Gary system is undemocratic in its intentions and that it purposes to rivet the poorer classes to industrial pursuits. Mr. Miles says. is narrow and wicked; that there is no compulsion abo'it the matter and that many of the leading men of the country are not now following the work they started in. "The Only of the Notion."Look at the question for a moment from the broader standpoint of national obligation," he said. "Only a fraction over 4 per cent, of the population enter the professions. It is the duty of the nation to see that the other 95 per cent, get an equal opportunity. No man will he. injured spiritually or socially by training that makes him a better mechanic." He pointed out that 60 per cent, of the school children leave between the third and sixth grades of public school without any specific educational equipment that will help them in the future, and he declared it was the duty of the community to see that these children have, their birthright. He quoted Bishop Grundvig of Denmark to the effect that "a school that begins with the alphabet and ends with book knowledge is a school of death." and added that this must be avoided. He declared that supervised play and work experience should supplement books In the schord course. The Public Welfare committee will have a rival in the person of the "Save the Public Schools Anti-Gary League. ' which has taken e.fflces at the Hotel Marlborough. Sol Tekulsky, secretary of the league, announced that a speaking campaign would be inaugurated. Frank White, president, has sent out a letter attacking Dr. Abraham Flexner and other members of the Board of Education. ROW AT NEW YOHK lejM.PUl Plan Faked, Is Charge; Rockefellers Are Assailed. NEW YORK. Pept. 1 S. President Willcox of the New York Board of Education was openlv accused by Thomas W. Churchill yesterday at a board meeting of having Tiisrepresented facts in connection with the Gary plan in a letter published in New York newspapers. Mr. Churchill fallowed his accusation with a resolution for the appointment of a committee to prepare a statement of the official record with respect to the introduction of the Gary system. Mr. Churchill said: "It is deplorable that politics should be injected into the board as it has been by the letter in last night's and this morning's newspapers, which is signed by you as president. Your letter is not In accord with the facts about the Gary plan. It seems to make several misstatements, though I am sure this was not done with design. Wants a Mile-Stone Record. "I disagree with nearly all you say in your letter, and until there is some agreed statement of tacts It would be well for such a co-mmittee as my resolution calls for to present things 'which will show the mile-stones of development In this so-called Gary movement. Helped Bring Clary Plan. "Your peroration was very eloquent end your power of expression is profound. I cannot hope to compete with you in eloquence, but I do disagree Twith you about every one of your

Mr. President. you did not say in jour letter that you were a 'member of the party which went West to see the working of the plan. "It was introduced in the Bronx when, as a matter of fact, it was not ready, and is not now ready for adoption. I disclaim the monstrosity it has now become." ti archill Criticises Firmer. Mr. Churchill said President Willcox had misrepresented him again in what he said about Dr. Flexner and Mr. Fosdick. "There never was a less constructive member of the Board of Education." he continued, "than Dr. Abraham Flexner. What did he do toward education? What did he do towards increasing efficiency? Ai for Raymond IS. Fosdick. hi work in this board could be measured by a yard-stick, he was so se'd .n here." M -. Willcox said: "I shall not reply to Mr. Churchill further than to say that my letter was to refute the charge thst this boaid is dominated by the Rockefeller Foundation. As to the trip to the West. I received my invitation from Mr. Churchill." "Yes. and I got it from Bruere: he asked me tei invite you." replied Mr. Ch u r hill. "This is the first I have heard of that." said Mr. Willcox. Mr. Churchill's resolution follows: "IS it resolved, that it is the desire of this board, without retard to the political affiliations e.f any member, that every effort be made by its members and employes to prevent misrepresentation of facts about any pha.ie of the school situation. "lie it further resolved, that a commitlee of this board be appointed to prepare for use by this board and its officers, and by political candidates and the public in general, a brief statement of the official record with respect to the introduction of the Gary system. "1. The initial experiments with the Gary nchool idea. ' 2. The reasons for disagreement within this board with regard to the extension of the experiment or modification thereof. "3. The construction of new school buildings and additions. "4. The increase or decrease of pari time." ffl CITY ITER SERVICE EXTENSIGFi BEFORE WORKS BOARD Will: E.

The realty company is anxious to improve that subdivision but claims that it ii! impossible because the water company will not give them service. Mr. Roe stated to th" board that he had been before the pubiic service commission with a petition for an order which would compel and J.jstify the water company in making the necessary extensions, but that hs was tom by a member of the commission that this public service body had no jurisdiction and that it wa up to the city to give the water company the necessary orders. This was the reason why Mr. Roe and hl company was before the board of works. Mr. Kirk replied that inasmuch as the franchise had boen surrendered to the state It was his understanding Wat orders of this nature must come from the
