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."

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. V. Sholes Company.
k Payne Investment Company.
Payne4Slater company.
Traver Bros.
Hastings & Heyden.
Glover & Spain.
Harrison & Morton.
C. G. Carlberg.

fight against profiteering landlords

berun on the same principle as the
World-Herald and Daily News
in the interest of the profiteers
against the people. y
