COMMISSIONER DAY MEETS OPPOSITION FROM MARKET MEN His ewes to ix to Bolster up|" Rent Raise “for Stands Are Doubted. : By P. Q. Foy. | (Special Food Expert of The Eve- \ ning World.) City Market Conilaskser Jona- than P. Day failed signally to sustain his position in advancing the rents of standbolders in West Washington! Market from 100 torT4 per cent. The! early mail on Wednesday carried! Rotices to the merchatits informing |, them of the advance in rentals which were to become effective July 1, and that those who desired to retain their present stands at the new rate should | ‘aform the commission to that effect. ‘West Washington Market is about 200 fect square and extends from West Gireet tp the North River be- tween Gansevoort and Bloomfield Streets, and is the only public mar- ket in New York City that affords an outlet far animals killed by far- mers on the farm, and its virility and existence is the only reason why the large beef companies have failed to control the products raised by the farmers in the nearby States that find an outlet in West Washington Market. Tho enraged standholders invited Dr. Day to meet them at a confer- enop ip Gillen’s Hall, West 14th Street, yesterday afternoon, The Commissioner was fortified by an array of figures. He informed the merchants of the plenary powers given to the Commissioner of Markets by the statute creating that offise. George G. Brown was appointed tem porary Chairman ang after giving brief history of the market expre! “shis confidence in the honesty of C riissioner Day. At this point informed the merchants th: it up to him to sce that tho public ma kets were run on a business bas's and not as a burden on the city, In| defending the increase in rentals the Commissioner stated that the valua- tion of the West Washington Mark * aight was $1,950,000, but did not siy arrived at. | F it structur Yas estimated at $503,715.20. T taxes on the assessed valuation and interest computed at 6 per cent. on the cost of the structures showed a according to the Commis- figures, of $100,000 a year in operating the market. This brought some caustic com- ment from & standholder whose ly rental of $1,325 had been adyanc sd to $3,325—$2,000 a year. ‘The Commis- sioner retaliated in kind and threat- ened to use the power vested in him w learn whether that advance was confiscatory. ‘fhe tact that West Washington Market was running at an expen! tw the city of $100,009 a year impel! the standholders to ask pertinent Veg tetiad as to the source of the figures. At this point the camou- flage was removed when It was learned that the open square between Gansevoort, West Street, Washing- ton Street and Little West 121 Strect was charged against the oth market, It develo sevoort squ 000. The city taxes reckoned at per $1,000 amounted to $20,000, and the Interest at 6 per cent, amounted d that the réntals from s" wagons at 2c, per night only amounted to $10,000 a year, leaving a deficit of $61,000. The merchants demanded that this re wi deficit should be charged to Gans voort Market, and not“to the West Washington Market. This would re- duce the so-called deficit im operat- ing West Washington Market to leas than $40,000 a year, taking the Commissioner's own figure: This Mat failure to c caused the Commissi to that he had a long list of applicants CASTORIA For Infants and Children, his point state Bears the 4 The oo Kind * You Have Always Bought | .:' tn Use For Over 30 Years.

You state that there are teachers who are engaged in putting into the minds of their pupils ideas too violently radi- cal ever to square with the principals or purposes of the Government. Let us| state right here that we believe that If there are teachers engaged in doing any such thing they should be dismissed from the system. The position of tho that any citizen, ‘Teachers’ Union is titled to hold whi he pleases (for this is one of the fund mental American ideals), 80 long os violence as & method of attaining his alms is not a part of his bellefs, and fygther that tho teacher make no effort t# introduce bis views into his class in any way whatever. ‘The Teachers’ Union is firmly of the opinion that our schools must be kept free from any po- litical or religious propaganda, whether on the part of the teacher or of the Joard of Exdugation, You devote’ the major part of your editorial to an attack on the union movement among teachers, which you term “cheap and noisy militancy.” I wonder whether you are aware that In a recent issue of “School Life,” the of publication of the Federal Bureau uci tion, there ia featured an articie os B, Stillman, President of the Am » Federation’ of Teachers on the spread of unionism amohg teachers, Does that indicate that the highest edu- cational authortiies at Wagbington re- gard this moyement as eap and nolay militancy ? Are you aware of the fact that such representative citizens as Jamea P. Boyle, William Kohn, Robert Moras Lovett, Dr. Henry Newman, Dr. Nor- man Thomas, Alfan # McCurdy. | John Fitch, Lincoln Colcord, Alke Barrows Fernandes, Edward 1. Hannah, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman, among others are all firm bellevers in the union move- ment and the Teachers’ Union of New York in particular? Are you further aware of the open support given our aime and programme in an editorial 1p Post in the iasue of April Ho And Ahally | we wonder” whether you know that such | representative organs of public opinion as t jal, the Wen Republic. the Survey. the Nation and the Public all Indorse the union moyement and the aims of the Teach- ers’ Union of New York? Support from such sources, you will admit, would not be given an organization that is op- posed to the best Interesta of the schools, Or do you hold in opposttion to such forces that the American Ied- eration of Lae is beneath the dignity of @ teacher? hen we ask you do you know that ¢ arty in May 560 scientists Bureau of Standards, Bureaus of F Industry, Animal In: dustry and other Goevernment Bureaus, among them being pysioloyists, zoolog.
