Editor the Daily Chime.-Sir; Your sar
donic editorial ''Hideous Paradox" is plainly
spiteful attack upon the monkey wrench

1t is generally agreed that no class of manu-

more to win the war than tho makers of
monkey -wrenches, and l inclose you Stats :,

try by continual labor troubles which no
one seems able to prevent? Do we want
a series of strikes growing out of dis
agreement over wages and hours of
labor, strikes that threaten tying up of
all transportation lines and serious in
terruption in the production of the neces-
saries of life? Or do we wish that Con-
gress would draft labor code which
would make the interests of the whole
community supreme and provide for the
settlement of disputes among employees
and employers in courts provided for
the purpose instead of by free-for-all
fight? If we wish an industrial code and

If we wish the tariff laws redrafted in
the light of the new world conditions
which have made the United States
creditor nation, so that it will force US
to allow our debtors to pay us in manu-
factured goods or raw materials, we can
force these congressman to ignore the
wishes of purblind manufacturers and act
so as to protect the interests of the
nations which are owing US while at
the same time safeguarding the inter
ests of every wage-earner
1t is not necessary to enumerate fur
ther the various things in which this
community is interested and which its
congressman should consider.
The point we have been trying to make
is that Congress is not an abstraction,
but is made up of men, and that if we
are to get from it what we need we must
get it through these men as individuals.
If we can make them believe that we
are in earnest in our demands they will
tumble all over themselves in their eager
ness to grant them.

TRIO OF TRIED JURIsTs
judges Swartz, Mcllvalne and Breay
Have Graeed the Bench In Penn
sylvanla for More Than
Thirty Years
BY GEORGE NOx MCCAIN

JUDGE AARON S. SWARTZ, president
- judge of the Common Pleas Courts OF
Montgomery county, enjoys the unique dis
tinction of being the second one. of three
Judges in the commonwealth who have graced
the bench for a generation To be exact,
for thirty two years.
The other distinguished gentlemen are
Judges John Add McIlvainc, of Washington
county. and +. A. Breezy, of Philadelphia.
Judge NIcIlvaine is the senior of the trio,
with Judge Swartz next.
Judge Swartz succeeded the late B.,
Markley Boyer on the bench at time when
the population of Montgomery county was
only 96. 600. In the years of his incumbency
he has seen the population doubled, and IN
Industrial Importance the county forge
ahead from sixth to third place in point OF
capital invested and value of industrial
output.
Montgomery county rewards faithful
services on the part of its judiciary, or at
least it has in past years, as the records
indicate.
Judge William +. Solly. of the Orphans
Court. has presided over its affairs since
that court was established eighteen years
ago. lie is serving his second term with
few years to spare. and prospect OF equal
ing the term of service of Judge SwartZ.
Judge John Faber Miller, of Common
Pleas, was elevated to the bench in lolo
with majority exceeding II 900 oyer bis
opponent. William +. Dannenhower, on the
nonpartisan ticket. He also has made an
admirable record. The trio of distinguished
gentlemen are held in such high esteem that
they headed the list of faithful county
officials when nearly 200 Of the leading
business men of the county testified to their
worth by public banquet last week.
Such honors are rare, even in great
state like Pennsylvania

TOSEPH X. GRUNDY, widely known as
c president of the Pennsylvania Manufac
turcrs Association, is authority for the
statement that the gross output OF the IN
dustrial establishments of Montgomery
county last year were 5000, 900 900 with
payroll in excess of $50 100000.
The figures are tribute to the efficiency
of the association of which Mr.. Grundy is
president They evidently are up-to date,
aud compiled from records which are avail
able to his stutisticiaus. Unfortunately the
state statstcaus arc just four years behind
the time.
The latest available information from
Harrisburg on the subject is for 1918, which
shows total output of but $S2,6l5, 900. In
the meantime the war had intervened, and
industrial output not only of Montgomery
county, but of the entire state, has Increased
to an uuheard of extent, yet there are no
figures available, at least in print.
The lack of ready to hand information in
all departments at Harrisburg has been
notorious for a quarter of a century. The
states publications are never up to date
Department reports find their way into the
hands of the public years after they have
been compiled with one xception-Smull's S
Legislative Handbook.
1t is usually ready for distribution u few
months after the close of the legislative
session, which is due to the untiring efforts
of Senate Librarian Miller. The new com
missioner of labor and industry, Doctor
Connolly, | have no doubt, so far as his
department is concerned, will speed up in
this respect, for he has come to the work
with great record for efficiency.

A'4 is tasting some of the first fruits of vic

reality for him. Like Byron's Assyrians,
the oficeseekers have not only descended

With all his years in politics it is a new
experience to him. He knows now what
it is to have friends of the ten carat brand
He also knows what it is to own a plum

his life regular merry go round with their
opportunities that he shake it frequently

JOHN b. JACK" ROBINSON, late
- member of the state Senate, erstwhile
congressman, and for years United States
marshal and one of the political leaders of
Delaware county, is an author. The general
public is not aware of the fact, I believe,
for Mr.. Robinson's book, "Midshipman TO
Congress" was published in Media for
private circulation.
1t is to be regretted that Jack did not
put his work in the hands of a big publish
ing house where it would have gained the
circulation which it deserves. There is
scarcely politician of note, either in the
eastern or western end of the state, who does
not figure somewhere in the 325 pages of
the book.
And there is no sliding over the rough
spots to. avoid the bumps in his descriptive
phraseoIogy.
In many respects the work is akin to the
autobiography of the late Governor Penny
packer in its treatment of men.
