ART VS.. BRICKS IN SYDNEY
A Peculiar Controversy In Australia
= That . AoItatIng Labor
- Circles. ~ s@

Here Is a curious point OF law. or

hourF procession with something like
scabbisg because It decided that. uii,or-y
lists. sven H. they don't belong 10 the
musicians organization. may play in
its own rnnks on the annual gala day.
There are arguments on both sides.
1t seems hard that union bricklayer
shouldn't be, allowed to blow his own
cornet In his own demonstration on. a
holiday. yet if.be found professional
cornet.player laying bricks on q Good
Friday he might object OF course the
man in the procession isn't playing for
hire. but then II wouldn't improve
things much II the cornet-player laid
bricks gratis.
The brickIayer might: argue that
there are certain number Of bricks
that must be laid, so the cornet-
player would be doing another man
out Of q Job. while there isn't any
fixed amount Of music that must be
blown, SO an amateur might blow a
sample or two without deprivIng any
other man Of crust. And the brick
layer probably says that the cornet-
player couldn't lay bricks decently II
he tried, to which the cornet.piayer
possibly replies that the bricklayer
can't make music.
To some extent 1t is a struggle be-
tween art and mnterialism. Music
properly played is capable of arousing
the highest and noblest emotions Of
which the soul is capable; q brick,
even II properly laid, isn't. And soul
isn't a thing to be lightly despised.
But here the tangible bumps against
the Intangible. Nobody has seen a
soul, while almost everybody has seen
brick.
