"The first consideration in case of a
general tie-up of the country's rail-
roads is stopping Of food supplies to
the largest cities of the country. Of
the perishable foods 1.-The non-delivery
OF milk and meats would work the
greatest hardship and suffering. For
instance, shutting off the milk supply
OF greater New York would mean i'm
mediate privation and in short time
starvation. 1t is hard to conceive
what New York would do if its milk
supply alone were cut off for 10 days
The store of staple, non-perishable
goods is limited in every household,
every town, every city. It would not
be many days without trains before
the groceries in every community
would be without supplies. The stop.
pin OF trains would Immediately
throw SO per cent of the workers of
the country out of work, and before
long most Of the working people of
the country would be idle. 1t would
be the same with small factories and
large plants-such as for instance the
big steel plants of the country, whose
operation depends on the unbroken
movement of trains, in and out.
Throwing men out Of work would
soon cut off their purchasing power.
Day laborers cannot go very far with.
out their income, since they have lit
tie or no credit. The result would be
widespread suffering which, in many
communities, it would be difficult or
impossible to alleviate.
IF the strike really takes place this
fall, it will occur at the time of the
movement of crops. This annual
movement of the crops is a steady out
flow from the farms for period Of
three months. Stopping. the railway
transportation of the country would
not only stop the movement of the
crops but it would cause the loss of
a large part Of the crops, especially
where the farmersrdepend on the rail.

 Before Americans can hope to express their ideals and aspirations in art songs that will endure, we must learn to have the courage to perceive beauty through the windows of our own temperaments, rejecting as false the traditional field glasses with which the countries of an older established art culture try to im- pose their will us Not that we musy deny for a moment the value of their contributions to the world of music, nor that we can give up our appreciation for and our studies of the great master works with which Europe has so en- riched our literature. But there is a vast difference between appreciation and creation And until the latter has at- tained freedom of thought from the en- slaving traditions of the former our musical offerings will be but the watery and diluted expressions of an alien cul- ture.

It is splendidly American in feeling It is born of our own soil: and though it's early life has been sadly de- bauched and coarsened by ignorant treat- ment, its awakening to better things is now at hand. I do not pretend or hope for Alabama to do more than give a miniature glimpse of the wealth of possibilities which are inherent in south ern music In writing it, my idea was not to give an effectively artistic violin composition, but to try and present with reverence, and sincerity, and American ideal expressed in American idioms."

He warned his col- leagues not ito make themselves foolish, by erecting a monument to his men1c-.y. In one clause of the will he en1oined phrases on his gravestone-nothing more than his literary name and d brief Jew ish inscription. In another he wrote: Whenever I die I want to be placed not among aristocrats, or among the powerful, but among plain Jewish labor- CTS, among the people themselves, so that the gravestone which is to be placed on graves about me, and that these simple graves should adorn my gravestone. even as the plain, good people during their lifetime illumined their Folksschreiber.
 The only monument Sholem Aleichem cared for was that his family should honor him by living happily together after his death, that his writings should continue to be read by Jews everywhere, and that the fund for Jewish writers. to which he made substantial contribu- tion, should go on in it's beneficfent work His last testament has been called "a fine example of the traditional ethical will left in all ages by thes great men of Israel" and no finer example has been given to us of the Hebrew in mod ern literature than Sholem Aleichem

to speak. The defendants are men of i great wealth-partly amassed out of the purchase of street railways at a low price and their successful un- loading on innocent buyers. It is difficult to see how they can be comfortable in the possession of their wealth as they reflect on what was done to poor Oppenheim by their agents. Moral responsibility reaches beyond legal responsibility and looks to the substance of equity. It is established beyond per- adventure that perjury at the instance of the subordinates of these directors caused the gravest sort of injury to Op- penhim.
 Harriet Nugent, kept out of her money through Metropolitan crime, has never received one cent. When the ruth came out the Metropolitan was bankrupt. A helpless cripple, she has been on the edge of starvation, driven in desperation to attempt suicide And rich men who were directors of the Metropolitan buy Rembrandts and Mazarin tapestries. The case is one whose smell increases every time it is stirred, and yet nothing is done toward fighting the wrong.

THE oPPENHEIM CASE

From the New York Globe.
 Benjamin Oppenheim, unjustly dis. barred through the activities of the old Metropolitan railway because he had suc- ceeded in getting verdict in the Nugent case, has brought suit for 900 dam ages against those who were directors of the Metropolitan at the time the crime was committed The defendants arA Thomas Fortune, Ryan. Harry Payne Whitney, Peter. A. B. Widener. H. + Vreeland, Oren Root, Jr., and Henry A. Robinson, general counsel for the Metro. politan at the time of the disbarment.
 On the legal merits of a cause thus be- fore the courts it is improper for a news. paper to speak. It is possible that tho statute of limitations, or some other im- pediment, bars recovery, even though the facts be as charged. To what degree directors are legally responsible, even in a civil action. for things done by execu tive officers elected by and responsible to them, is a matter of doubt. It may be that the former directors will be able to show they are not chargeable on acc count of the injury done to Oppenheim
 But concerning the moral side of this controversy it is proper for newspaper
