F. ~. BARNUM. 2 THE OHIO ARCHITECT· AND BUILDER ------EDITORIAL

Welcome, Architects WeJ.come, architects, fr·om all over Ameri'ca·! Welcome, delegates of the Ameri­ can Institute of Ar~hitects, members' and :visitors, to Clevdand, a city which desires the feebly flickering torch of architecture hitherto kept alive 'by a few, to be rekindled into a glowing and enduring flame by your presence. Cleveland as a city ne'eds the educatioti and inspiration which the flower of the architectural 'profession in our leading cities. win bring, Cleveland architects" the local chapter of this organization, and the larger body outside of its definite organization, but in' sympathy with its aims, ne'eds also the stimu~ Ius, the broadening influence that contact with a wider horizon of thought brings, . The profession will and should be 'advanced by the coming of these men, and the learning, ambition, achievement and influence they will emanate, as well as by the. force and value 0.£ their utteranc,e's and deliberations. If the profession be stimulated, then Cleveland as a whole w.ill benefit from the stronger influence toward better things her archi­ tects will exert. Better than all, the uniting for common ends w.ith the 'stimulus of lo­ cal pride in· the work of entertaining the conve·ntion, on the part of ·the local chapter, will vitalize them as exercise does a StlJ1dow, and giv'e them that unity and harmony which will mean more than can be' roeasured of good. Let it remain for others to dis;, cuss what of architectural pride Cle~eland has to offer, and what o'f future plans of nobility and magnitude it has in ~ctl~.coritempla:tion, It is a city with a broad founda­ tion of industrial prosperity and so},i:P' institutions and wealth, on which fitting architec­ ture for an age of more' assured expression of theeviden~es of· Western civilization shall arise. Cleveland is at a tra~ion .~ime, 'It is about to be rebuilt, and as rebuilt ~t will endure in the essentials of it; visible- characteristics. The rebuildirig is, in fact, going on. At a time when the best architectural thought 'can have the most valuable and productive influence on great things, which must inevitably be done, this convention comes. May it fulfill its oJlportunity of value to Cleveland.. On, the- other hand, may its deliberations be of a value to all gathered that shall in turn radiate back to the centers whence these representative men c,omC', and so shed a flood of architectural. light through America by the kindling current engendered by the meet'ing of· these' highly charged potentiar''1orces.

Make All Group Plan Discussion Open Just one criticism maybe offe'red at the aspect of the session of the Chamber of Commerce devoted to the group plan ex.plap.ation by .Messrs; Brunner and Carrere. Excellent as ,this description :w.a::s..., t}1e' invltation was extended by each ,speakerand·by President SulliV'an for question'S to be asked. Discussio,n. wa~ invited, but no one put any questions to the supervising architects..,. Now, everyone ·knows that there 'are many points over which opinion i~ much divided; ~'n:d qluch .tha:t~·ts as yet too little under­ stood, despite drawings 'and explanations. There were>reas,oo S given most briefly, 'as was necessary, that to many in the meeting ~~uld :n~~J: Have been conclusive. There is a considerable sentiment yet ,against the idea· of centr~l1zitig the Vnici'n Depot in the group plan. This sentiment is divided atnbng men of ,. d,ifferent elements and mode'S of thiriking, Some of this we believe to be largely,.:.of pu·re sentiment, the view of the lake being desired from an ideal standpoil1~."·'~To . this class, who think in the same manner that the architects wish to dotl1emselves, heautyand idealism being a gr~at factor -in the group plan, no opportunity £.01' die 'fullest. explanatiori ,should hav,e .been allowe'd to slip. Another class, repres'enting the politicians, who always want t:o pose as "against :l:'he corporations" for public effect, should not be permitted to say th~t the public got no chance to ask questions. ' The element easily swayed by such 'as these politidans ·and those who from standpoints of logic· not supplied by the politicians, nor THE .OHIO ARCHITECT AND BUILDER 3 swayed entirely by sentiment, to whom the Union Depot idea still comes as a surpris'e, should have asked questions, and they' would have been well answered. An Irishman once sa·id that he was' open to conviction, but s'how him the man who. could. e,onvince him. Question 'and ,answer does not change deep-seated views 'at once. But, on the' other 'hand, discussion of vexed problems should be the fullest and freest. This journal believes. that the. supervising architects have made out a good case for locating the Union Depot at the' lake end of the group plan, 'artd that the reas'ons advanc:ed are justifiable. It believes that many may.honestly differ with so novel a conception: one almost revolutionizing the' original' idea of the group plan, and it wants to see the ,most convincing explanations made. and the most sear.ching ques­ tions asked. Mr. Carrere, in particula.r, paus·ed for questions, but none were' asked. Yet men were heard putting- questions afterward, when the speaker was not there to answer. This is not fair to anyone. There is going to be a great de'al of feeling, much wire­ pulling,. the bad blood incident to great interests at stake, bef,ore' the group plan is well under way. The storm -center will be the Union Depot. It is going to be loosdy said that the railroad corporations have manipulated the group pi-an to get millions of value for themselves and sacrificed the city. Corrup­ tion has not been so ·abs·ent from Cleveland but -what it is a word too lightly and easily used. Municipal and county officil(lls hav·e·· not 'been here· any more than in oth,er .American cities above suspicion. A recent,:rco.1ut 'house episode -concerning the very group platt' itself is fresh in the public mind. 'q:\1ttthermore, it is an easy habit· among those who know how the game goes 'and ha~: perhaps pl/ayed it before reform­ ing (as all men do on taking ·o·ffice in Cleveland) to cry "Wolf" in' some other direc­ tion. We are bound to hear unsavory talk; it is a con~tion of every municipal undertak­ ing that some. one has been "approached," some one "influenced" or "fixed." If this is said about all sor,ts of men, if the mQst irreproachable are mixed with the most venal in this democratic time, if planning a municipal undertaking is volun­ tarily sailing .a, craft in notoriously dirty wate'r, how shall we expect anyone to escape calumny or vague accusation. Loose talk that ought to be indictable' for libel will spare no one. The railroads, then, because their rei-a tion to the group plan was considered by men of international fame, seeking the best local ideas they could gain from tho'se who represented the city's welfare' and .knew its conditions, a,re going to be ~mirched with the accusation ·that they "influenced" ·somebody to persuade the architects, through the many men from whom their ideas were evolved to locate the new union station where it stands on the: plan. Well, the railroad corpor'ations can stand such talk. They have had to bear much abuse when politicians wanted to make grand stand plays with the people. They have been approached, "held up" (of course, in other ~itie's), by rapacious .men in office before they could get needed -concessions far more valuable to the cities they bene'fited than' to themselve~. It would ~ot be human nature if they did not profit by their jnstruction,' become a littlf: gra'sping,and learned if they want anything to· go and get it. If the people and the architects trying to work for the whole people do not place the Union Depot somewhere, the p'olitidans of some future tadministration will have to be approached by these corporations to I. be allowed to do the' inevitable. Instead of coming out in the 'open, making terms with the people', they will have to make terms with the politidans;. and the people will have' to pay for it. That is if the experience of other cities is worth anything. As it is, the politi-eians_ can 'afford to watch the railroad end of the group plan. It looks as. if they would be unable' 1'0 do otherwise. It will now be incumbent upon them to show their solicitude for .the public welfar·e by playing watchdog of the treas­ ury and' getting the mo·st for the public and: 'the group plan expense', for giving up the valuable but expedient site in front of Lak~ View ·P~rk. 4 THE. OHIO ARCHITECT AND BUILDER

Broad, far.reaching reasons only are going to· convmce the whole people that the Union depot will. bt, well located where the architects show it,and such reason's have been well outlined, and surely can be amplified- upon. Broad reasons .only are safe. to aciv-ance against it, and such miserable talk as that heard that the railroads are going roget :'1i1lions for nothing is not going to weigh when men whos·e reputation is based­ on undertaking's like the W orId's Fair and Buffalo Exposition' sense the practicalities of the case, the neE:dsof the city and its opportunities and solve manyiinpottant prob­ lems in one design by locating the Union station where they do.. Let discussiot:l be full and free, but let it be on an hoilorable plane'.' Let no architect dare s·ay what he would not have said of ·himself. Let no politiCian complain lest it be thought he fumes at not being a1* to see where he or his aBies will. "come in" on the deal.

Tb.~ o roup Plan Illust1'ated Memorable in its meaning to Clevel~nd was the elaborate explanation given of the group plan, designed for Cleveland's public buildings, as elucidated at the Chamber' of Commerce meeting on September 15. Of the important sessions thi;organization has had, few, if any, are likely to prove of more importance to the city than this.. Two of the supervisingarchite-cts, ·Messrs. ,Brunner and Carrere, were present, and explained in a more definite way what had thus far been given to the Cleveland public' only in a genenl outline and by means of a printed report. So va,st and new 'an architectural scheme as this needed such an elucidation to just such a representative body of, citizens as'this sessi'on affoide'd. The sup~rvising architects did not come' to Cleveland to con­ vince architects and builders especially of the wisdom of their long deliberated plans., Th~ir mission 'was to bring sinners,: not the righteous, to conviction, 'and to that end' t,hey employed a pictorial element ~n explaining the plan which was, under th'e circu~­ stances, quite' necessary.. The elaborate showing' made by' the prelimin~ry drawings, brought from New York and so arr.-nged around the Hall tas quite to transform iot~ the plaster model of the Federal Building, a very convincing sight to the layman of ,an edi~ fice he may' not see in .actuality any too soon, were most valuable. To ,aid these came Mr. Carrer'(~, who developed into a very good stereopticon lecturer, with ,a set of slides projecting many. helpful drawings, and concluding with phot,ographic reproductions ·of celebrated spots in Europe and Asia, where architecture and landscape gardening have conjoined the most magnificently, as is the general idea of the proposed pl~n for 'Cleve'­ land. Thus every resource of explanation was used to illuminate the idea so long germi­ nating in so many minds and now coming into tangible, definite, and as we believe, prac- ticable and magnificent possIbility. . To clarify so great a conception to unprofessional minds, above. all to make the typical, practical, business, taxpaying body o,f an industrial city realize the, worth to them of what stands particularly at first for the beautiful and the' ideal, .is a concep'­ tioh so out ~f touch with typical American ways as to b~ a her~ulean undertaking. Yet these architects did not bring their explanation to ,scoffers, to the incapable, no,r' to the unprepared- Rest of all, they did 'not especially address two. classes; . likely fbr the most divergent reasons to oppose them most.. I refer to architects and' to th~ poli­ ticians. They faced an audience of _patriotic, progrc'ssive eiti~ens,in fact, the best Citizen- ship we have, for what two organizations better represent our energies than~ the Cham~ ber of, Commerce and, the Builders' Exchange, which was also. invited, ana fairly" weli

in' :e"V'ide'11ce.. The sentiment of the body, rlotonly ;t,owardthe group planillr general, but to the particular one recommended by the architects, the one ,which phtoes the Unioft station at the head of the plan and makes the lake' front aminol". factor, was: snQwn by the applause that gr~w more pronounced during the evening a'S the sc

in great undertakings that concern all the people and tbat all the people' own. The illustrations of European views, doubly instructive after the Cleveland idea·s .had been explained by plainer working drawings; came like a bit. of a Burton Holmes travel lecture. Though' I suspect Mr. Carrere has used' them to point other morals and

adorn other tales than tlle one at handj it was admirable material, and the Chamber of Commerce' gathering was inte·rested to the last one. This was the only one thespe,~ker did not announce,and which modesty ~nd familiarity forbade, it being the Court of Honor at· th~ .World's Fair, a fitting climax and a significant admonition to Cleveland, so ~ar as it has the opportunity, "Go thou and do likewise."

What Brunne.. and Carrere Said Mr. Brunner, in explaining his connection with the group plan to the Chamber of Commerce, and in particular the Federal Building, of Which a model was shown, said in pa;rt: "In the first pla~'e I desire to cOngratul!lte Cleveland upon its wonderful opp6rtun:" ity. Y0\,\ have in the: erection of tpe public buildings together. one of the great chances of the world· 4nd a f.:hanoe never pefore presented to an American city. "The stQdies which we pre'sent to you after mature consideration are, we believe, of. the greatest simplicity and at the s~me time elasticity and practiea.pility.· But I am really forced to say with emph'asis t~at you must have sculpture, trees and flowers in the working Ql.lt of th~, pl:.~n, for' without .these fe;itllres the scheme would be dead. "And I wa.nttosug~.est that all the buildings in the' city in the future should have distinct cha.racteristics. The city and .county buildings cannot all be montlmental, but they can and. should have distinguishing characteristics." Mr. Brunner said that in being the architect of the new Federal Building he felt very keenly his place. as the designer of the first tangible evidence o-f the grouping of the public buildings. .Becausc' of the development of the plans for grouping the buildings the original plan for' the gOvernment build.ing was entirely changed, said Mr. Brunner. The': result he hope's: w'i11 be a.:credit· to the city, govemn1ent and the grouping plan. The main facade of- the'buildi'ng on Superior street will be 216 feet in length. On the north part of the building the' fa.cade will be as similar to the Superior street facade as the ar­ rangement· of the court rooms will permit: The highest part of the building will be 113 feet above the cornerstone, which, it was explained, will bring it to a little ahove the Cuyahoga building. The main corridor off Superior street will be.thirty fed wide. . On one side' will be the elevator wells leading to' the upper parts of the building, th·e rc'st of the main floor being given over entirely to the business of the postoftice department. Mr. Carrere, reporting to the Chamber of Comme'rce' on the' group pl1an, went into more detail than the published report on the whole undertaking. . He particular­ ly eXPlaine'd the. !lifficulties in milldng.a .greatpqrk on the lake front, as originally in­ tended. This l~d to a more detaile'Qreasoning .of the choice of the Union depot ior this ·locatLQll tll'ap' .yet- s,liqwn. Two drawings, showing how a new depot independertl of th~ lllan ·WPl.lld inevitqblY mar it, were highly informing. .

Labor Day's Disgraces Labor Day as typically cekbrated this year is not a holiday the patriotic, law-abid­

ing American dtizen can look to with aught but shame. Every other. holiday I ha~a dignified and noble purpose, and perpetuates greater good than the wholesome one of recreation. and respite from daily vocations. All inspire -in their tendency the best s'enti­ ments toward our government, our institutions and our feHow-men. It remained· for Labor Day t'o be marked by a s~ccession of everits throughout the country. that de­ graded the honorable import of its name, proved that those' who celebrated -it were not fit to do so. It paraded crime as its demi-god, murder. as its accessory, violence and. terrorism as its accompaniment, intolerance as its spirit, defiance of law. and order, and thinly veiled anarchism as itsa'larming symptoms. Too" recently to be thought of without sgdness or to be recalled without indignation, ·anarchism reared its head at a bdoved President. 'rhe blow struck at law was never laid to the door of labor, and never would have be'en fair to do so until this Labor Day. But the baleful picture shown in New York, when thousands marched in .glorification of a criminal convicted by the laws of the land of bnbery and extortion, a felon from a felon':; cell on a tech­ nicality, to have this doubtful triumph, made these thousands par,tners with that indi­ vidual who shot at the highest personification of law and order. From glorifyingde­ fiantly a criminal convicted, and thus defying all sentiments of decency, all consequences of judicial decision, is an attack at the: very foundational respect for our laws and our principles of gover.nment that gives aid and comfort, horrid suggestion to every lurking anarchist who crouches ready to take the right step such intoxicated public orgies :sug­ gest. The carry,ing of Sam Parks with the cropped head of Sing Sing revealed when he bowed to base anddegener'ate admirers, was the same thing as if proclamation that labor or that part of it represented, defied the law and enthroned the criminal. Ephraim is joined to his idols indeed. It is well that this was done, as it was necessary that the sheep's cloth~ng be removed from the wolf be'fore he rends the innocent. 1£ labor is so dduded and crazed that it is worshiping the criminal, the briber, the walking delegate who :starvt.'S it and capital to line his own pockets, then it is time for the American public to know it and to ,stand for law and order, for justice, and for that flag which flo.ats over the' court hous:e which brands the felon, that all may know him and separate him fr'om his endangered fel­ lows. It is well to know that thousands did not march in this saturnalia of vice', as iotis that thousands hissed the sad spectacle while misguided thousQ.nds cheered, .that the na­ tional president 0.£ the Hous'esmiths' and Bridgemen's Union has (s~spended Parks and his union and aimed to remove the cancer. rather than kill the whole body, as an hones,t­ minder labor leader should. It is well for the public to kn~w that evil bidding, of this Parks, who shall be his creature and who will represent the atmosphere' and ethics of Sing Sing prison thereby in the deliberations of a body organired o.riginally with 'YorthY and high-sounding principles. To turn from this significant picture, which is little repudiated by organized labor throughout the country, if at all, turn to other Labor Day incidents.' It would be well to find a different spirit in labor circles· elsewhere. But what ·is the truth? Chicago, our second city, saw a labor union .mob attack a man, the: proprietor of a warehouse ~o_mpany, because he drove one of his own vans with a load of Iittlechildllen to s'ee the labor parade. For thre·e hours he watched this display of labor and then 'was assaulted by some of the teamsteTS marching, pulled off his wagon,' badly beat'en, 'the J;la.rness 'cut and the horses stampeded. The union rules which rose superior to the l~ws of the land said that he could not drive his ow~ team without a union card.' that little ,paste­ board was thus held by such logic to· stand ahead of the Constitution of 'the United States. Murder is the next arraignment of Labor on its chosen day.· At Sharon, Pa., a wor~­ ingman ,with the union spirit possessing him became so incensed that a broth~r work:man should work on Labor Day that he walked deliberately to within a few feet of his v:ictim. THE OHIO ARCHITECT AND BUILDER 7 cursed him and shot him thrice, the man dying within the hour. The' murderer escaped and the question arises whether union labor sentiment encourages his capture. I f these incidents, mo're of which could be enumerated, do not 'show thM organize'd Jabor is seeking a campaign of lawlessness, carrying out its policy by force and putting itself above the governm,ent, what more is required? It also shows the consequences of the neglect in dties to e'nforce municipal la~s ag~inst men connected 'with labor or­ ganizations, until they have come to believe they are a law unto ,themselves.

Law For Labor Unions The pr,inciple that labor unions shouJd not enjo,y irresponsibility before the law for what they do, while the capitalists and corporations they attack are responsible by the same Jaw. is now to be generally tested. We have contended that our laws instead of being against the 'laboring men, as the unions have prated, have been shown latterly to be so framed that in their organizations they. are allowed to do things that justice never in­ tended fa permit. Their aotion has made him so hig~ly favored an individual before such law as hase'Xisted as to m~ke him in his union capacity too often glaringly despise anc! insult our very system of justice. The issue raised in these columns that labor, when it demands so much, should be incorporated, be a body with a legal status, responsible for its acts, is bound ,to come some day, for public sentiment wilf demand that these or­ gallizations corne out in the open and be ready to fact the light, to show that their deeds will bear it. Capitalists have at las~ become tired of labor unions banding together to exceed their ~atural rights and entering into conspiracies of deliberate warfare' against corporations incurring their enmity. They are going to boldly act with thein, as they do to protect their rights from any rapaciousness or crookedness of their brother corpora­ tions or~apitalists, by suing them' in the courts. The time.is ripe ,to th.oroughly sift the status of our laws and see ·if it will act according to the principle of equity, that there should be a remedy to cor-rect every wrong, be it new and strange or familiar in aspe'ct. , \ A good instance is the action instituted the past week in the United States District Court at Bridgeport, Ct., by D. E~ Loewe & Co. of Danbury, hat' manufacturers. They bring suit against the national officers 0'£ the American Federation of Labor, the na­ tional officers of the United Hatt~rs of North America" and ag.ainst 250 members of these organizations, residents of Danbury, who were formerly in the employ of the' plaintiff. The hat firm contends that because they refused to employ only uni'on labor in their factory in 1901 their goods were boycotted nationally and their men called out on strike. They ask for damages of $240,000 under the Sherman Anti-Trust Law. It will be seen that they take advantage .of the very statute clamored for by labor leaders and designed as special legislation to embarrass, if not to p.rohibit, the ~usiness of the great corporations of the day. It will be seen that such La.ws which must· be', if in accord with justice, general in their application, are likely to react upon the heads of those who were so gleeful at their passag~. It .is to be hoped, that this Sherman l'aw will be so interpreted that it' will operate against wrong-doing, whethn in the ranks of capital or labor, and protect justic,e ·in either camp. The hat firm, among other circumstantial details tending to, show a 'far-reaching conspiracy to drive them out of business, claim that the trade mark "United Hatters of North America," is employe'd by' the def.endants to further the 'sale of hats mad'e by union labor- to the detriment· of other hats, and that the journals of these unions have been used to denounce the goods made by Loewe & Co. Wholesale deale'rs have been intimidated, and circulated charges have prejudiced the public to the financial loss of the' firm, it is claimed. ' ' -, Other firms foHowing the same course 6f _action as -the hat- people ar·e the Morse Iron Works and DrYdock Co. of Brooklyn and the Burlee Drydock Co. of Port Rich­ mond, Staten Island. They have' brought two suits, amounting to UO,OOO,in the Supreme Court of Brooklyn against local branches of· the International Association of Ma~hinists for damages incident to recent strikes. 8 TH n OHIO ARCHITliCT AND BUILDER ------._-

This ,action is a sensible proceditre to get at the right or wrong. If these claims are true and are shown to be a deliberate campaign this is no exercise of· the right of indi~ viduals to quit work, but is deliberate conspiracy to ruin a business. The labor unions, being voluntary organizations, are not sued; but the labor leaders who preach the gospel' of organization one moment and shelter themselves behind individualism the next when it comes to the law, will see that the law can reach individuals. This is the sensiMe course, and it is time the whole status of how far labor leaders and unions may go should be define.d. The point at issue is general, it concerns every craft every employer. The' decision should be' dear and furnish an understanding of what ju~tice may be hoped for. under conditions that are becoming alarming and that are furnishing 'the only great menace to prosperity we have.'

Will Labor Uphold Park$ ? "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad." The downfall of organi~ed ·Iabor from its claimed status as an institution of honorable afid defensible purposes is as; sure 'as cause and effect, the inflexible workings of right and wrong, can be, if it con­ tinues to champion the notorious branded criminal and bhlckmailer. Sam Pa,rks. That it has not yet repudiated him is the most severe and startling arraignment ever brought againstorganize'd labor. In its enthroning of criminality as its demi-god,it does worse than any oI)e of the overt acts of violence, murder, and even dynami,ting, which have been credited to labor's ranks. These have not bem proven to be inspired by them as a principle of their purposes and methods as organizations. In supporting Parks, however, they glorify crime, they scorn law, oreer, decency. They revile the tourts, which, clothed in the dignity reposed in them by the people, represent the majesty of the law of a land which the people rule through laws of' their own making. The glorification of Parks, a criminal, a blackmailer, means the' glorification of 'anarchy, a revival of the Commune, the reign o~ crime to -be substituted if their action can achieve ,it instead of the reign of IClw. They say in cleaving Ito this. Parks, "Evil, be thou my good." With growing am'azement the: spectacle has been wit­ nessedof a fierce controversy in the ranks of an important and typical sec,tion of union labor, the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers. With as­ tonishing shamelessness, this man Parks and his .followers claim to remain in the ra~ks, and to control not only the New York delegation, but the entire national association. If labor has come to this, that such a man with such a cause can esoape kicking out and repudiating, such organizations can no longer profess any honor, any claim as good citizens, any support or favorable sentiment from the honest.,.minded public. Those who support Parks make the: dear issue between, law and anarchy, between exclutling cr,ime and dishonor from among them, or avowing bla.ckmail, felony and despite of law, order,. and decency, their purpose. 'If this is union labor today, what shan be said ,6f it? Wonderment can go 110 far­ ther that this craze should so spre'ad. Yet the reason showil ,in th~ latter acts of union, labor in So many ways show that a veritable craze has spread over th~ir ranks. The in-· te111gent workman has become intoxieated by the fumes of a maddening) anarchistic vapor rising from the putridity of European importation and turning the heq,qs of all. Public sentiment must be aroused and c~lI a halt, or there is no t~11illg what a portion of - th~se enrolled in union _I-abor will

Let us see just where this case stands. though in doing so it is 'a pity that so medi­ ocre an rindividual, so pi,tiable a scoundrel as the extortioner and betrayer of men's Hving, Parks, should be given' that notorielty on which his mushroom k.ind puff out. Parks, after le·ading the Labor Day' parade, succeeded, tho~gh he and his Bridge­ men's and Housesmiths'.Union in New York were declared ousted,·in foicing'his de1e'­ gation into the convention at Kansas City. President Frank Buchanan, who had repu­ dia;ted Parks, has had to bear the brunt of the fight ,as an honest man does when felony is being glorified. Buchanan, through this convention, is striving to wipe the blot away from his association, and whatever else. his prinCiples, .,i~ in this' respe.ct the' lcifd of la~or lea,der to be honored, and that has hItherto helped gIve that publtc confidence whIch once 'lost will never return. Parks. organized a faction in the convention to oust Buchan­ an,' to dominate the convention and elect a Parks man pre·s,ident. The convention has been a scen~ of riot, rump meetings, and chaos in consequence. One caucus in favor of Buchanan 'included delegates from Buffalo, Milwaukee, To­ ledo, Salt Lake, Pittsburg,' Washingt.on, Philadelp'hia, Scranton and Kans·as City. Ohio is saved from disgrace' also, for the members of the CI·eveland union have declared them­ selves against Parks. I Delegates representing 16,000 men will thus withdraw from the associatio1n if Parks dominates it. At this writing the outcome is still in doubt.. Parks may don1/inate and the association. will be deservedly split. He may be downed and Buchanan'vindicated, and yet the Parks idea, tenacious 'as crime is, may found a faction that shan still amount to enough to be .a reproach and a menace. Whether this mon­ strou's showing of how ,foreign-born anarchistic sentiment has cropped up among work­ ingmen, and how ,ignorance can glorify crime in the name of l<1,bo1;', will teach the people, the newspapers. and capital what it has to deal w.ith, is still in doubt. The fact will re­ main that organize'd labor everywhere is under the ban and cannot be dealt with 'as an honest, law-abiding body until the Parks idea is stamped out utterly within it.

A. I. A. Convention Program in Advance The greatest opportunity fOf architectural stimulus the Cleveland professional con­ tingent has ever had will be the national convention of the American Institute of Archi­ tects, to be held in this city, October 15, 16 and 17. This convention will also be a matter upon which tQe city at large is to be congratulated, for the privilege of enter­ taining such a body o·f men who mold so great a part of the material aspect of our land. The ·Iocal chapter is to be congratulated on inducing the national body to come here, andaB architects, builders and good citizens generally should congratulate them for doing so.'. The convention will be held at the Hollenden assembly hall. The officers of the American Institute for 1903 are as follows: President, Charles F. McKim, New York, N. Y.

Thebas·is of delegate' representation will bring 80 to· 100 official dele­ gates, but unofficial members of the local chapters and invited visitors will swell the total to at least 400. The Detroit delegation will come' in a body, every man of the lo<:al chapter engaging to be on hand. Fourteen members of the Boston chapter have sig­ nified their intention to be present. The certificate plan of spt:cial railroad rates has been secured. The' Cleveland chapter, which number's amembershi'p of twenty-one, has fo·r its "two national delegates, F. S. Barnum and John Eisenmann, alternate delegates being John Eisenmann and Harry Nelson. The officers of th.e local ch4!.er are: W m. R. Watter­ son, president; C. W. Tousley, vice-president, and Albert~ Skeel, secretary. While on these officers and on every member of the locai chapter will fall important duties, in fitly entertaining the visitors, the brunt will be borne' by the chairmen of the special committees locally' organized. B. S. HubetI is chairman of the committee on arrange­ ments; F~ S. Barnum,. of the· reception committee, and W. D. Benes of the enterta,in­ ment committee.' On these men arid on Secretary Skeel will rest the prestige of the Cleveland end of the convention.' Se.cretary Skeel has sent out, on behalf of the Cleve­ land Chapter, th~ following circular letter: Dear Sir:~Your Chapter members have, no doubt.' received notice of the A. 1.. A. convention, to be held. in Cleveland, October 15th, 16th, 17th. inst. The Cleveland Chapter, A. 1. A." wishes me to extend through you to your chapter,. an utgent invita­ tion for as many as possible of your members to he with us at that time~ Yours Very Truly, 'ALBERT E. SKEEL, Secretat")". The' responses' to this cordial invitation have already been noted, and the feeling is ~ucf1' that the convent,ion may break all records' for attendanc.e and o;erflow the Hol­ lenden hall. Secretary Skeel already has sU.ch replies that he is confldentit will be the largest convention yet held. It is felt that Cleveland is the most centrall~ located. city for the' iargest number of representative architects. enrolled in the Institute chapters.. This is self evident enough, geographically speaking, unless one questions its bet'ng a northern dty. Then the rdlection comes that this is balanced by three important 'cities which have strong chapters, Chicago, Detroit and Buffalo being more northerly and within accessible distance. . Business sessions of the convention. will be. varied by such entertainment features.as· a dr·ive around the park and boulevard systems, Thursday afternoon, Oct.' 16, ..·and the annual banquet Friday evening, Oct. 17. . Mr. Glenn Brown, the National Secretary, will be in Cleveland on· or near the first of October, in the interests of the convention, arid will r~main some days. The OhiO' Architect & Builder will endeavor to rise to the o-ccasion of being the journal repre~ent­ ing architecture and building iri Ohio, and will. give the only complete and ·official ·report of the proceedings, copiously illustrated and .containing portraits of. the leading figureS. of the convention, as 'wen as the leading e'ssays and, speeches.

The New B~nking Tem.ple The onward march iil luxury, magnificericeof appointment, attention to art in deco.:.: ration and general impressiverte'ss of ~ppointment ~nd dignity of architectural treatment, .in banking rooms in Cleveland.. has culmiriate,d' in the opening of the COIl.soHdatedC~tI­ zens' Savings & Trust Co.' This' splendid interior, as o{>ene« formally 'Monday, Sept: '28~ THE OHIO ARCHITECT AND BUILDEN. 11 is without doubt the finest and costliest banking interior in the state, and one of the finest between New York and Chicago; remembering that Pittsburgh is a city notable for the: housing of its newet banks. The spirit of competition, in this regard, in the newer bank appointments of Cleveland' is most apparent, and it is evident that the officials of the Citizens' institution, stimulated py the consolidations they effected with othe'r strong banks, gave carte-blanche to those concerted to distance ,all achievements in splen­ cior of appointments in Cleveland bank architecture. With a new building erected fot the bank they had the opportunity to so design' it as to attain a dignity and expense not otherwise attainable, a great factotin attaining the mi:tjestk result arrived at, in which general simplicity of outline is made' to confer dignity. Theobserhtion of other new banks in their fitti~gs was also instructive. Yet, as 'evolved,' the design seems one of much originality' in this line. The transverse arch, with the' Imural paintings of Blashfield and Cox, is a triumph and one 0 f the noblest conceptions in 'Cleveland or in any city in a mercantile temple.

Civic Federation Convenes It is' a coincidence that the industri,al conference of the National Civic Federation, at Chicago, comes on the same dates as, the Archite'cts national conve1).tion here, Oc­ tober 15th, 16th and 17th. The nearness of the Civic Federation aims may' not be as ap­ parent to the Clientele of this journal as that of the architects; but when the general que:stion of'their session is quoted, "What'c,an we do to establish more rightful rela­ tions between workers and their employers," its nearness to vital problems is appa:r~nt. It is well that while the convention we look forward to he're will be in session in Cleve­ land, there will be anothe'r' notable organization meeting elsewhere, whose influence is to avert an impending evil and blight against the fairest a~d noblest, 'creations of ad­ vancing civilization, utility and beauty that ar'chitects can devise or builders can execute. Samuel Mather is' being instrumental in perfecting the local organization, and several members of it will attend. The work of this organization is to be noticed, as it may yet prove the most expedient agency toward conciliation and arbitrament in the increas­ ing complexity of the labor problem.

The Rockefeller BuUding Cleveland's new million-dol];tr office building, the Rockefeller, to be erected on the site: of the Weddell House, is to be'designed by Architects Knox and Elliott, of Cleve­ land. This effectually silences the' rumors that the designing was to be awarded aNew York firm. The building' will, be sixteen stories high and have a frontage of 125 feet each on Superior and Bank streets. It 'is designed to be thoroughly fireproof. The lower floors will be given over to ~anks and financial institutions. A half dozen ele­ ntors will be in service, located in a large lobby opening off Superior street. The' upper office floors will be divided, to suit occupants. The banking rooms on the lower Aoor will be sixty feet wide and eighty feet deep.

Committe,e Studying Group Plan The Chamber of: Commerce has detailed the more definite examination and report on the groupl plan.. as submitted to them at its regular sessiqn of September, to a ,spec':' ial committee, which will examine, in,vestigate and consider it in a' way which' the whole membership could not adequately do,. The members of this committee ate: W. G. Mather, H.E. Andrews. Gen. Geo.A. Garretson, M,oses J. Gries, G. W. Kinney, J. H. McBride and' W. R. Warner., Their report will be submitted to the boad of directors of the Chamber., and, itwi1l thus again come before the whole body and consequently to the public' again.
