Your Letter Of


30 long that he hesitates to ask for
a recommendation from his employer
In order to seek a better position.
Again there are those who, having
failed in varous kinds OF work, are
handicapped in getting a hearing be-
cause they have no one to recon-
mend them.
After talking with various en-
ployers In different kinds OF business,
find that one belief prevails among
them. The letter OF recommendation
Is not the one big criterion by which
a worker is judged.
One employer says, II pay no at
tention TO recommendations. juUt
size up the individual and II he seems
TO be what he represents. l give him
a trial."
Another tells me that the only
recommendation he wants Is one in
which he Is assured that the worker
is honest n energetic"
| am told by still another that he
| judges the employee by the length Of
time he has been able to hold down"
his former job.
employer who believes in giving a
man a chance. lot because he has a
recommendation, not because of age,
not because he Is unmarried, but
how he measures up TO the Job. This
employer OF many people says;
u take a man on how he impresses
me in relation to his fitness for my
work. 1t makes no big difference TO
me who hud employed him formerly
or why he lost his job. IL / have
a fair assurance that he is not a
thief or a s%coundrel; II he shows a
frankness Of manner. and does not
try to fool me about his capabilities,
| figure him as the possible man for
the Job.
81 have been rarely mistaken. II
a man looks squarely at me and
talks the truth he creates confidence
In inc, and he gets the chance"
There Is the big thing, CREATING
CONFIDENCE.
In looking for a position don't over
look the fact that a position Is likely
looking for you,
If one employer demands a recon-
~mendation there Is another who has a
different basis for hiring people. The
old copy book motto OF try, try
again" has not yet failed. Couragel
Now as to the employer. There Is
no meaner person in the world than
the selfish one who refuses to give
the letter of recommendation TO the
worker who wants TO leave his EN-
ploy. II is the most narrow attitude
TO assume
Just because the employees has
found something better Is no reason
why you should not be willing 10 tell
what good qualities you have found
In him. II is your debt to humanity
at large to tell what you know as to
his qualifications
Just think OF the little old golden
rule a bit. Think OF the number OF
young men who just need your word
OF approval 10 HELP them on their
way. II means so little to the en-
ployer n so much 10 the other,
And then there Is the other extreme,
he who goes beyond the truth and
lays IL on thick There Is another
responsibility each has to humanity
at large-to avoid exaggeratng in re-
lation to the employment seeker.

favor, but in reality YOU are injurinR

LABOR AND PUBLIC RIGHT.

vTvHE grounds upon which the United States Supreme Court holds
the Adamson EightHour Railroad Law constitutional and
valid are even more interesting than the immediate effects Of
the decision which were anticipated q few hours earlier by the yielding
of the railroad managers.
In announcing the Supreme Courts opinion, Chief Justice White
dwelt particularly upon the nature Of transportation which makes it
both a private and a public interest. The inherent, constitutional
right Of private parties to fix private wages is, the Chief Justice de-
clares, unquestioned. But when railroad managers and railroad en-
ployees, after every opportunity for conference, failed to agree, when
arbitration was refused, when the country was menaced with a serious
tieup of its railroad facilities,
to say tina. the Government authority did not have the power
to fill the void would be to declare that the private right had
destroyed the public right
1t is to be hoped that this ~uphodng of public right will not
escape the attention Of the Railroad Brotherhoods and all other labor
organizations in their hour Of rejoicing, Let them remember the rule
may be made to work both ways.
If private right is not to be permitted to destroy public right,
then what about the right of public service employees of any class to
strike or even to threaten to strike in defiance Of public welfare
and safety?
Nobody is forgetting that to obtain what the Supreme Court
has given them by due and orderly process of law the Railroad Broth
erhoods were ready to tie up transportation and thereby embarrass
the whole country in an hour Of crisis
Such methods are not to be cOndOned by pointing to the Justice
of the end. Labor has not heard the last Of public right.

torio society we're discussed last night
at a meeting held in Trinity parish
house, by nearly one hundred active
leaders Of local musical circles. They
assembled at the call of T. Leslie Car
penter, choirmaster and organist OF

porary organization by the selection
Of George B. Miller as temporary

as temporary secretary.
Mr.. Carpenter then delivered a brief
address. setting forth the objects Of
the society, pointing out the great
advance made in commercial and ar
tistic endeavor by the city in the past
two-scOre years, and the fact that
despite this advance in a general sense
it has been that number of years
since the Messiah has been given. He
added that this probably is the first
call made in thirty years for the
leaders, the different choir masters
and the singers all over the city tC
unite in "one grand movement for
betterment Of music"

ed with hearty applause. Question oi
