WHO ARE THE MIDDLE CLASS
Brain Workers Who Are Compelled to
DO Manual Labor TO Exc Out
an Existence.

Few forces tend so strongly to pro-
duce social consciousness as a griev-
ance. Not so many years ago one
might have searched the world and
found nobody who would admit he
was Of the middle class, remarks the
New York Times. The term was an
epithet used In derision. As the mid
die class was vaguely supposed to be
respectable, respectabllity itself went
out Of fashion. Today all this Is al
tered. People write to the papers to
say they are of the middle class and
they say is with an air Of one who
after all is somebody. Yet nobody has
defined the middle class, even the
sociologlsts and economists, whose
business such things are.
In England w. II. Mallock gave a
few stray thoughts to the subject and
concluded it is middle class to have an
income Of some $730 Prof. II. r..
Seager stated In America the figure
would have to be raised to $1,15O. 1t
is the way of the elder sociologists to
write as If the determining factor Is
always money.
Our common sense knows better
The middle class is distinguished from
the class on its one hand by the fact
that it works, not with ones body but
with it's mind. 1t is distinguished from
the class on its other hand by the fact
that, not having sufficient capital to re-
tire upon, IT has to work. The middle
class man is brain worker, who is
obliged to work or go under. And he is
obliged to conform to current stand
ards Of respectability, physically as
well as mentally and morally.
In the nineteenth century the In
come standards had at least shadow
Of justification, for wages and salaries
still maintained some definite relation
ship to the character Of work done
and service rendered Today we have
changed all that and with one notable
result. A large group of people among
us have become class conscious-those,
namely, who do professional work for
less tlan the pay Of a hand laborer.
Mentally and morally they have two
strong props of Characteristic fact
that the instrument Of their labor is
the mind and the fact that they are
urged on bg Necessity 10 use it.

Want RAIL LAWS
Congress Urged To Clarity Situ-
alton Before Adjournment.
Remove at Once Menace of Gen.
Trailing the Control.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Ena ctment of
railroad legislation for the protection
of the public before congress adjournS
March was urgently recommended
by Charles E. Elmauist, of Minnesota,
testifying today before the senate inter-
state commerce committee a president
of the Natiopal Association of Railway
and Utilities Commissioners. Mr.. Elm
quist said increases in rates of a bill
lion dollars year have been put into
effect without consulting the shippers.
You should remove at once the
menace of centralizing the control of
the railroads in one man." he told the
committee, urging the railroad con-
troll act be amended to permit the
interstate commerce commission to
suspend rates initiated by the director
general pending determination by the
interstate commerce commission and
state commissions He also said the
act should be amended so as to re-
store all the powers of the states over
intrastate rates.
five years was opposed by Mr.. Elm
quist, who suggested December 81,
1919, as the limit of control if a spe-
cial session of congress was called to
enact legislation He thought no leg
islation other than that suggested for
the protection of the public should be
passed at this session. He said the
five-year plan would continue the
guaranteed compensation involving a
billion dollar increase in rates and
high operating costs, continue what
