What is commonly meant When
the term middle class is used was

TO employ it indiscriminate'y is
seemingly to recognize the class doc

A Woman Magistrate

In naming Mrs. Jean Norris to be
magistrate Mayor Hylan has con-
ferred on her not only the office but
the honor Of being the first of her
sex to occupy judicial place.
That the appointment comes but
week before an election in which
women voters will play an important
part and that Mrs. Norris is Tam
many co-leader Of the 10th Assem-
bly, District suggest political consid-
erations were not absent from the
Mayors mind. But other Mayors
have been known to be alert to pos
slblc advantage during the flying
fringe of October, and it would be
canting to analyze the Mayors mo-
tives too closely. 1t may not be
ideal, but it is human and natural to
cater to large groups when the bal
lots are about to fall.
But, aside from politics, the ap-
pointment seems wholly admirable.
The personal qualifications of Mrs.
Norris are unchallenged, and it is
highly desirable to have woman
on the bench Of the women's court,
where she is to sit. Her work will
be closely watched. The obligations
of pioneership rest on her. Her
record will help or harm other
women. Happily there is no reason
to doubt her success and her ability
no less than her determination to
vindicate public confidence.
Unfortunately, however, the ap-
pointment is not permanent-is
merely thirty-day nd interim one,
to fill vacancy caused by the illness
of a magistrate. But it is to be
taken for granted the Mayor is not
trifling concerning big matter and
that he will not bring the experiment
to premature end. More than a
month is needed to warrant general
conc. uSlOnS.
A time is to arrive, longcd for
by all intelligent leaders Of the new
voters, when her sex will be neither
for nor against woman-when
women will belong in all things to
the human race and be judged on
pc onal nerits. But this time is
no. yet. Until it comes it is in.
evitable for sex to be noted and
proper for women to take a special
interest in those whose force has
suliiced to break down the bars of
prejudice. Mrs. Norris is to be con,
graduated on the opportunity spread
at least temporarily before heron
The chance she has not only to serve
the community but to smooth a
pathway that aspiring won en- still
find full of obstacles.

A Great Russ:ar,
To the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Slr: The death OF Lconid Andrevey.
Russla's foremost author and drama
tlst, has now been confirmed. The
most gifted and must successful Rus
sian wr&cr died in dire need in Fin
land. Because he was un opponent of
Bolshevism all he earned from his
writings was confiscatcd and his works
could not be published during the las.
two years.
Several weeks ago I received a let
ter and cable from Leonid Andrevev
asking me to arrange for him lee
ture tour in this country. He intended
to bring his latest novel, a number of
snort stories and several new plays. I
made arrangements for the publication
OF his works and also for his visit to
America, when suddenly tho sad news
came from Helsingfors announcing his
death.
In his. last letter to me the famous
Russian writer said;
THE fundamental purpose of my
trip to America is to combat the Boil
sheviki, to tell the truth about them
with all the power and conviction with
IN me and to awaken in America 4
feellng of friendship and sympathy
Tor that portion Of the Russian poop,e
which is heroically struggling for the
regeneration of Russia. The str rlgcle
Is hard and painful, and the sympathy
OF the great American people would
hasten the victory and would lessen
the sufferngs OF those who are perish
ing every hour in dark, iewd and

New-York tribune., 1919-10-30
Railroad Strikes

The subcommittee of the House
Committee on Interstate Commerce
is said TO disapprove the anti-strike
provisions of the Senate bill. This
is discouraging news. The strike is
normal weapon under private man.
agement. But private management
Of the railroads is a memory. The
government will retain economic
control of the carriers. Their reve-
nues and incomes will depend on
governmental action. A strike to
compel changes in wages and work
conditions would thus be against
the government, for control of such
conditions really rests with the gov
ernment.
The lawmaking branch and the
various railroad regulative commits
sions are to have ample power to de-
termine wages and working condi-
tions. The recourse Of the employees
is to them, not to the railroad corpo-
rations. If the strike menace is not
removed the government will but
continue the old state of civil war
within an industry which it long
ago nations lized in theory and is
about to nationalize in fact.
The government may not safely
dodge its responsibility to see the
railroads operated without Interrupt
tion. 1t owes the public at least that
protection. And the workers, by ac-
cepting the governments liberal
guarantees, morally obligate them
selves to acknowledge the change in
their status which results. If they
receive share of the profits Of oper-
alton, they may be asked as partners
to surrender the old right of private
warfare against an industry to
which they have been admitted as
partners.

No Middle Class

A correspondent Of The Tribune,
IA letter published elsewhere on
this pare, quotes with approval a
letter from England which describes
how volunteers manned the railroads
and ran them. 1t is asked why
there should not be formed in
America, as in England, what is
called "a middle class union"
The very language is infected by
alien ideas The postulate of Amer
,ea Is that there is but one class
no upper class, no lower class, no
middle class Privilege, which is the
basis Of class, does not exist 1t is
playing the game of the subverters to
adopt their pattsr. 1t contributes TO
intensity misleading education. This

The Demon Takes the Count

1t is a slow business killing a
dragon. There are, Of course, the
cynlcs who insist that you can never
really SAY a genuine tire-breathing
demon; that you can scotch it and
hew off its members and generally
sash it to bits, but that in the end
1t just crawls off underground to re-
cuperate and lives to fight another
lay. Undoubtedly the cynics talked
Just that way to st. George the
night before the battle, so we need
not take these gloomy forecasts too
seriously.
We can assume that ultimately
the great slaughter will be accom-
plished and yet still be appalled, at
the kick in the old putting, snorting,
half dead monster. Even now, as the
mighty power of the Federal gov
ernment marches up in battle array
to warn all and sundry, bars and
bartenders in particular and the rest
of the world in general, Of the ter
rible consequences of selling 2.75
beer, the news columns suddenly
turn to cider mills and cider presses,
and it would appear that whole
nation has taken the month Of Octo-
Der off to make cider. Allowing for
the exaggeration of these optimists
and subtracting a large factor Of
safety from the assertions Of know
ing friends who declare that they
still know, etc, there is plainly an
element Of original sin at large that
still refuses to stay piously beaten.
So it viii run, we suspect, unit

The Middle Class
Union
10 the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May l ask for a few lines in
your paper to quote from letter just
received from England? 1t is dated
October 2 and commences thus:
"a letter from you came last eve-
ming. 1t must have come by aeroplane,
as we are in the midst Of a deadly
strike. Not 80 altogether deadly as
the strikers imagined, for to-day 600
trains are running into and out Of
London, all run by volunteers and loyal
men. There is some kick left still in
old England, and we refuse to be
Trotzkied yet awhile.
"This morning l am off to volunteer
like thousands Of other women of
my own traditions and education--to
sweep out the stations and unload par
cells also, l may add, to join the great
middle class union'"
What | want to know Is why Ameri-
can women of like traditions and edu-
cation can't form middle class union,
too? union against such service as
we are getting, union that would be
a bulwark against the class that is
making life so hideous, just because it
is composed Of people who have neither
the intelligence nor the conscience to
give the value in service for the money
received.
Once upon time there was such a
thing as love for the spirit of
service. ALICE SCHUYLER.
New York. Oct 25. 1919.
