SYRACUSE, October 8.—Samuel Un- termyer, counsel for the Lockwood legislative committee, last night characterized the United States Steel Corporation as the greatest enemy to the country's industrial life and peace. Under the pretext of the open shop, he asserted, the corporation for years “has been concentrating its power in carrying on a vast campaign. of espionage and oppression aimed at the destruction of all organized labor.” . He addressed the New York Asso- ciation of Real Estate Boards, review- ing ‘the committee's efforts to relieve the housing shortage and bring the guilty to justice. - Mr. Untermyer also asserted that when the committee started at the “big, powerful fellows” in business, financial and political life, “even the, federal government and members of the cabinet took a hand and 'an- nounced that there would be ng ‘drive’ against big business.” Now, how- ever, he said, the government has awakened to the gravity of the hous- ing situation and 1s in earnest in: pressing its prosecutions. “‘The object lesson of 500 or 1,000 of the many thousands of lawbreak- ers,” he added, “who have been mas- querading as prominent business men, behind prison bars will do more to bring back business to an honest basis than anything we can do. It is the only way and unless it is done quick- Iy, the government will no longer be able to cope with these forces.” BANKERS, QPPOSE BCNUS FOR UNWOUNDED VETS Indorse World Credit System, Dis- armament and “Well_Adyised” Sales Tax.
