Social Superiority Absurd.

Not to mention the unskilled who are in effect expected to look up to the superior skilled labor castes and even to the organized of similar grades labor, the fact is that many
 highly skilled trades, or "calings" hold themselves aloof from labor organization out of the absurd mo- tion social superiority. 1 have in
 mind stenographers, bank clerks and office workers, and school teach CTS. Stenography requires at least four years of high school and six months in college and in employ mont impose, such responsibility. If organized the occupation should draw some four times the present average rate of pay. Table waiting having no such technical prerequi- sites is an organized trade and the waitrcsses have established them ,elves in comparative security and respect such as the ordinary steno- grapher cannot know. Personally, I have the view that in point of SUI perior intelligence at least the ad- vantage so far developed is on the side Of the waitress. Bank clerks discu the laboring class as if they were apart and yet the ordinary bank clerk does not draw one half the pay of an electrica! worker and for brains he has a set of lev CTS and decided intellectual improvement.
