tive born American is overworked."
Thus in his terse style. Percy
Granger has gracefully implied
that all Americans are artistic. He
was quite serious about the matter,
for to him there is art in nearly all
Of the natural expressions of a hu-
man life. He finds our advertise
ments and the construction Of our
great buildings Just as high a form
Of art as the most difficult music in
the world.
II SEQ no difference in them at
ALL" he has said, ''as far as one
being better than the other is con-
cerned. After all, it is simply a
matter Of personal preference and
the truly universal artist should be
able to comprehend one sort Of art

creased far beyond that Of men IN any
other form Of employment. The average
annual wages OF the members OF the
brotherhoods in 1910 was 1923. In 1919
it is 5000 The brakeman are now
asking minimum OF $500 and the
conductors a minimum OF s2,ioo. Aud
they are asking further for a new sys-
tenn OF ownership in order that they
may be treated more fairly in the
future"
No one objects to The wage they are
now receiving, but there are millions
OF workmen in other occupations
whose pay has not been doubled in the
last nine years who should receive
consideration before this one group OF
men Is benefited stlll more. and before
the property out Of which their pay
is earned is turned over to them that
they may take from il what They WISH.
But there are other objections to
this plan than the practical difficulties
in the way OF raising the billions need
ed TO finance IL and than the obvious
favoritlsm toward one group Of work
men.
All extensions are TO be made at the
expense OF The communities Denetted'
Who will decide what community Is
benefited by an extension Of line into
new and undeyelOped territory? VIII
the new territory have TO bear the eX-
pense or will territory thousand
miles away 10 which the products are
shipped be benefited TO such an extent
that It must provide the capital? And
wall Congress decide when extensions
are TO be madeg.
We have had river and harbOr pork
barrels that have scandalizcd The,
whole country. A railroad pork bar
rei would Increase the pOtentialities or
scandal 20 such an extent that the few
millions OF a river and harbor bill
would be forgotten. In the last ten
years s2,5OOOOO,OOO Of new capital has
been put into the railroads to keep
them in running shape and to make
extensions, or an average Of s2j0O0O0OO
a year. The dullest Imagination can
picture the orgy OF extravaganza which
would attend the passage Of the annual
railroad bill through Congress.
\But this proposition has not come
without warning. The foundation for
il was laid in 1916 when the Adamson
law was br0wbeaten
through Congress by the brotherhoods
under threat Of a strike on the eve OF
election. 10 was discovered
then that the politicians, from Presi- !
dent Wilson down, were cowed and
dared not resist the demands OF a com |
pact organization with votes.
The President has long been seeking |
the support Of the radical labor ele-
ment. This explains his toying with I
the Bolsheviki in Russia. It explains |
his speech, no longer ago than last /
May, when he talked about the demo-
Of industry and the sharing !
by the workers with capital in the con- |
troll OF industry. II explains the as
surance with which the representatives
OF the brOtherhOOds went 10 Washing
ton last week with their demand for a
in the cost Of living, fol-
lowed by the introduction in Congress
OF their bill turning the railroads OF
the country over TO the men who
operate them.
u explains, too, the entrance OF the
brOtherhoOds into the American Fedora
tiOn OF Labor few weeks ago in order
TO exhibit 10 the President the num-
Der Of organized workmen who were
ready TO back this project.
