A Gveat Work Of Art.

It was Apelles who visited the studio
Of Protogenes in Rome and, finding the
artist absent, drew thin colored line
in such a way that the Roman knew
that only his Grecian brother could
have done it. But, not to be Outdone,
Protogenes drew thinner line upon
that Of Apelles, and when this was
seen Apelles drew third line upon
that of Protogenes. This panel was
then looked upon as the greatest work
Of art, SO says the story, in the palace
Of the Caesars.

they were not realized in the great
American industries employing un'

vice were often those OF instant dis.
missal. Another serious difficulty with
American employment was that IL was
spasmodic. Complaints from employees
were often made the ground for dis.
missal
The present antagonism OF employ
ers and the unions was the fault Of
both parties, but on the whole the
former we're more TO blame. because
their situation was more comfortable
and their education superior The oil.
garchy OF capital had combined Of.
fectlvely, and the corresponding com.
bination OF laboring men was a whole
some check upon that oligarchy. There
was no question that the labor union
had come to stay On the other hand,
its cause was injured by certain evils
which were subversive of fundamental
American doctrines OF liberty. One
of these evils was the limit placed on
the number OF apprentices. whereas IN
the learned professions every cncour
agcment was given to the training OF
novices. other evils we're the limita
ton Of output. which destroys the self
respect of the efficient workman. and
the uniform wage, which has n crue
reaction on the less capable workman
because with uniform wage he loses
his job at every slack in business
whereas II he we're paid according e
his earning capacity his employer
could afford to keep him the year
around A fourth evil was the vic
lence which was an inevitable feature
of every strike in industries employing
unshlled labor. The unskilled labore
on strike had no other weapon unless
It were the boycott. which was a cruel
