22 THURSDAY, New Dork Tribune SEPTEMBER 18, 1919 Root Calls Boston Strike Blow at U. S. Constitution Rates It Next Only to Revolution as the Act of a 3 Per Cent Minority Using Force Upon the Majority Cheers Greet His Speech Addresses Audience on 132d Anniversary of Signing of Organic Law and not our superior." Root Attacks Boston Strike Elihu Root, presiding in Carnegie Hall last night at a celebration of the 132d anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the United States, declared that the written Constitution limits the powers of the men who gov ern and that this is the vital preserver of American liberty. The large audience broke into 8 volume of applause and cheers, exceeding in duration and noise all the other demonstrations of the patriotic occasion, when the speaker said: "No king by any name among a free people! "Give to any man in this free land a great office call him mayor, governor or general or president- -50 long as by virtue of that office he is administering the law; 50 long as he speaks the voice of the law he is your superior and mine as the representative of law, of our law; but the moment he passes the limit of that lawful power which is limited by the Constitution, that moment he is our equal Continuing Mr. Root said: "In that great army.

which crowded across the Atlantic and went to the battle line in France, composed of incomparably the best military material in the world, the vital and conspicuous element of strength was the independence of individua! manhood that came from self-respecting life in free America. Nothing can defend liberty, but the character of the people deserve to he free, and nothing can preserve the character of independent manhood except that limitation upon the power of all officers of all governments which is imposed by the Constitution that we meet here to to celebrate." Mr. Root characterized Boston police strike as a challenge to the Constitution. He said: "We cannot maintain this ConstituLion without insisting upon its being chowed. We cannot maintain it by laughing at those who try to make a it.

We cannot maintain it by boing tolerant and liberal and indifrent toward those who attack it. We stand for it when it is challenged. And it i9 being challenged to-day. here and there in a hundred directions. Strike Challenges Constitution "Most noticeably it is challenged by the police strike in Boston now.

That raises distinctly the question whether our system of government represented 114 this Constitution is to be abandoned Cr hot. This Constitution provides for Tree, popular government. Under it we have a democracy in which all the people have their part in government. Every officer, legislative, executive, judicial, military, servant of all the people not of any class, not of any group, not of any calling, not any race, not of any religion, but all. And that la fundamental to our democracy.

"Now. what does the police strike in Boston mean? It meant that the men who have been employed and have taken their oaths to maintain order and EXT TO crime as the servants of all the peonie are refusing to perform that solemn duty unles, they are permitted to aily themselves, affiliate themselves, become members a great organization which contains perhaps 3 per cent the Now if that is done that the end. excent for a revolution.

Mr. Steingut explained that about a month and 8 half ago el number of American citizens, offended by the contempt with which the East.

"For 81 long time," said Mr. Steingut, "the East Side has been regarded as a hotbed of radicalism. There are radicals, but they are not citizens, have not even tried to become citizens, and should be deported." lower He said East that Side real due to the disrepute estate values are lower than ever before 111 his experience.

Urged to Submit Proof Fourteen thousand patrolmen and firemen will within the next few days take steps to convince Mayor Ilylan that he has been misinformed as to the amount of salary increase which will satisfy them. In an interview with Patrolman Joseph P. Moran, president of.

the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, on Tuesday, Mayor Hylan stated that he was convinced that the patrolmen would be satisfied with an increase of $150 year. Moran pointed out that the P. B. A. had resolved to petition the Board of Estimate for increases which would bring the to $1,600, $1,800 and $2,000 A year.

The Mayor expressed the view that Moran was agitating for his own ends, and that the grievance which the men have would be removed by al maximum wage project. Kenlon Backs Increase Yesterday steps were taken by patrolmen and firemen alike to make clear to the administration that the increases proposed by the Mayor would not meet their needs. Officials of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association and ol' the Uniformed Firemen's Association prepared a circular letter which will be sent out to every patrolman and fireman in New York. The letter calls the attention of the men to the Mayor's dec ared adherence to $1,800 yearly as maximum wage, and urges them to submit to the City Hall the facts and figures regarding their present living conditions, which it. is believed will back up the men's claim that the increases they ask are the least they can accept.

They are always ready to make sacrifices for the good of' the public and are absolutely loyal to the department and to the The fire chief had also a good word for the patrolmen. who, he said. were equally deserving of proper recognition.

"If Abraham Lincoln Were Here, What Do You Think He Would Do?" Often these days, when a little group of men are in a corner, or around a table, some one says: "If Abraham Lincoln were here, what do you think he would do?" Most assuredly, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Madison, Robert Morris, Hamilton and Gouverneur Morris were frequently in conference to settle the various points of the Constitution of the United States. No other document, so far as we believe, has ever been SO complete, effective and held in such high honor as is the Constitution of the United States.

It might be considered a child of the Declaration of Independence, the first document of the Thirteen Colonies, which was so wonderfully inspired that it has never been amended; that it stands with every i dotted and every crossed, exactly as it was written. It is said that William Ewart Gladstone, the greatest of Great Britain's statesmen in the last century, declared that the Constitution was- "the greatest work ever struck off at any one time by the mind and purpose of man." One hundred and ten millions of people in the United States would, if it were possible for them to come together, acclaim their proval today of that old Constitu- tion whose 132nd birthday was celebrated yesterday.
