THE . BEE t jOMAHA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER j, 1913. I. W. W, BACK OF RIOTS HERE, SAYS GENERAL WOOD Declares in Speech al Univer sity Club Radicals Have , No Place in United States. .:!; General Wood icored the unpre pared state of this country at the t time it entered the world war, de clared that the United Statea is in V the most critical period of iti hit 's tory and advocated a standing army of 225,000 men, speaking yesterday before 250 people, mostly ex-service men, at the University club. "W cannot handle the world by verbal massage," said the general. "This country has been fortunate in having someone else to hold the line till we got prepared. Our ghastly record of getting prepared ; for the world war should fstart the public thinking. . Not Enough Guns. "When American forces first oc cupied the trenches in France they were not equipped with an Ameri can made gun, although it is claimed that they had 11 American made . field pieces. I believe they had five naval guns." General Wood, commenting' am local conditions, urged that the po lice ' force be strengthened, and warned members of the' American Legion that they should stand ready to assist in maintaining law and order. Blames the I. W. W. "The I. W. W. was undoubtedly behind the recent trouble here," the general declared. v "These disturb ances are becoming too frequent in America. Good citizenship will counteract these foreign influences, and to teach igood citizenship for eign language should be eliminated from the grade schools. "The constitution should be drilled into the young American. Econom ics should be taught more extensive ly in the high schools, and the rela tion between capital and labor should be clearly understood. 't ; "Public opinion should compel timid officials to act in stopping the spread of un-American influence in a community. There will be no red flag where there are brave public of ficials." A Up to the Women. General Wood urged that the better class of citizens take more interest in politics and declared that now that women could, vote . none should neglect their duty. In closing the general declared that "this country would never be forced into war under the mandate of any other country or group of countries. ' "The United States must be a force for peace and right," he said, " "but not a talking force." Large and Most Beautiful Apartments With Special Comforts for the Children Will Be Built As Result of Bee's -Rent Campaign i ppv Front view of one of 17 proposed new apartment buildings. A 17-Group Apartment Structure to Go Up, in Vicinity of One of Parks Will Have Playgrounds for Children Suitable for Use During Bad Weather, With a Director for Games Rents Will Be Low arid Based on Reasonable Interest on Investment Other Apartments Certain to Follow Owners Will Have No Connection With Alleged Combine. " Pursuant to The Bee's numerous disclosures concerning the policy of Omaha landlords to exclude chil dren from apartment houses and charging profiteering rent rates, W. W. Goldnamer, representing the Realty Syndicate Co., yesterday announced his company had com pleted plans for a group of dwell ing houses here to meet the de mands of persons who are being im posed on by alleged rent combine headed by the Building Owners' & Manager's association of Omaha. Mr. Goldnamer declared the apart ments would be modern in e.very particular and some of them would be ready for occupancy next serine. special provision has been madcl in the plans for the Comfort and convenience of children, it was said. The structures are to cover two city blocks, and ample space is to be devoted to play grounds, which the children living in the apartments will be encouraged to use when the weather issuitable. Play rooms also will be provided for use when the weather will not permit outdoor, games. Mr. Goldnamer declared a play ground director would be em ployed to superintend the childrens' sports. -r There are to be about 300 apart ments inMhe group of houses and the rent ratclt was said, would be fair and reasonable. Mr. Goldnamer asserted he would not identify him self with the so-called combine. "Our rents will be based on floor space and service," he said. "It will be none of our affairs what other landlords do, and our affairs will be of no concern to others.. We will make our arrangements with our tenants regardless of tombinations., ' 4 No Profiteering. "There will be no profiteering in our business, and children always will be welcome." "Our plans include the erection of a 17-group apartment. It is to be modern in every respect. We are negotiating now for the site, which is located in the vicinity of one of the city's most beautiful parks. One of the buildings of the group, besides containing the office and central heating plant, will furnish a number of garages for use by the tenants," said Mr. Goldnamer. In this building, it was declared, would be located the community house ad dition with the special play rooms for the children. Another feature which is believed will appeal ' to the public, is tha there will be no reir doors visible, as the garden entrances are de signed to be as attractive as the street entrances. The first group, of apartments will immediately be followed by oth ers, Mr. Goldnamer said.; Some of the firms, members of the Real Estate board and the Ren tal combine, which two organiza tions are responsible for excessive and profiteering rents in Omaha, are the following: George & Co D.
