NEW YORK, Sept 27.-The market

Industrial shares there were distinct
signs Of support emanating from SUD
stantial sources. This sustaining ouy-

noon dealings and shorts covered rather
freely resulting in full recovery IN
values.

THE RAILROAD BRoTHERHooDs.

The brotherhoods are naturally
pleased by their victory over the rail-
roads. But there is little openly ex.
pressed enthusiasm or exultation. Tine
men are sobered by belated appre-
citation OF what their attitude meant
and the way 1t has been regarded Dl
the nation.
There has been spontaneous out
burst OF popular gratitude toward the
railroads for yielding as they did, IN
order to save the country from dis
astrous strike at a time of grave cri-
sis. But there has been little praise
for the brotherhoods, for the slight
concessions they made. The general
public, which was naturally in syLl-
patty with them and against the rail-
roads In the beginning, has come to
look upon them as selfish and unpa-
triotic. That view may be unjust, but
1t exists, and the brotherhoods them
selves have invited It. 1t will be long
before these "aristocrats of union la
bor' regain the esteem they formerly
enjoyed.
The evil nature Of their recent
strike threat was made all the more
evident by the revelation that 1t was
wholly unnecessary. On the very day
when they reluctantly yielded just
enough Of their demands to save the
nation from disaster the supreme
court OF the United States upheld the
constitutionality of the Adamson law
All the concessions for which they
were apparently willing to cripple
their country on the eve of war they
would have had just the same if they
had been patient and decent about it.

ALL ONE CITY.

"A village says John II. Finley,
New York state commissioner of edu'
cation, lis simply quiet street in the
big city of the world
He reiu3es to see any important
distinction between New York City
and the rest of the state. The me-
tropolis is simply the inner city, y
and the outlying part of the state the
outer city" A resident Of any re-
mote part of the commonwealth, when
he goes to the metropolis, doesh t
really go TO town lie goes down
town.
Isn't it true? And isn't it the sane
with the metropolis and the remain
der OF every state. and the same with
the country as a whole?
The old distinctions between city
and country Lave broken down. There
Is just one big community. differing in
the amount Of space people occupy ana
the amount OF noise around them. but
not differing a great deal in other re-
spects-a community held together by
railroads and mails, by newspapers
and telegraphs and telephones, by au-
tomobiles and monographs and NOV
les. One may live a solitary life IN
the city and cosmopolitan life in the
country. One may be cultured in a
village and provincial in the metropO'
lis. Location doesn't matter much
any more We are all fellow towns
men.
