Volume of Orders Tends TO Break Rest

BARRE. April 2O.-There is strong
evidence that the resting period in the
Barre granite industry is nearly over.
Subnormal activities reached rock bot
tom two months ago. while for several
weeks the Improvement in business was
scarcely more than just enough to be
noticeable. since the first of April the
volume of orders received by manufac-
turers throughout the territory known as
the Barre district has grown perceptibly.
Business still is far from normal. hut
manufacturers feel that the tide has
turned Many plants will not be run to
capacity before midsummer. and possibly
not before fall in the opinion of local
manufacturers. But operations at pres
ent are being stimulated by a demand for
Memorial day work. This stimulus is
evidenced by the fact that Barre con
Germs, in the past 10 days, have received
orders by wire. and it has been a long
time since retail dealers We're up against
an urgency that called for the use of the
telegraph in ordering their Barre work.

California Holidays.

10 the Editor. The washington Herald:
California celebrating two legal
holidays in one week is going some.
These are Labor Day and Admis-
sion Day. 1t is the only State out
Of the forty-eight that can boast
of such . record. Also Columbus
Day will be the next legal rest day
to be observed.
anniversary of California's admis-
sion into the Union, ranking as
the thirty-first State.
The setting apart Of Admission
Day as a legal holiday was due
originally to the efforts of the ma
tive sons and daughters Of the Gold
en- West and by common consent of
the people of the State the cele-
bration has been turned over to
them. The organization stands for
the perpetuation of the memories
and achievements OF the pioneers,
the welfare of the State, and the
happiness and prosperity Of her peo-
pie. and are therefore intensely IN
terested in all that is Californian.
Exercises of q patriotic character
will be rendered in San Francisco
this year by many, when they will
fete the crew of the new United
States Superdreadnaught California,
which will soon be ready to go on
a cruise on the high seas.
On account of many members of
the local State association being
now on vacation. therewill be no
important gathering until the open
ing OF the meeting season later on.

business agent. He claimed to have large fund
of gold at his command with which to purchase
American materials and products. If only this gov
ernment would recognize the Soviets or legal
ize trade relations all this wealth would be poured
out in contracts.
Many wondered at the support he got. Now
that is clear. He HimHammed number of promi-
nent industrial concerns He got the hardheaded
trained business men, heads Of large industries to
even finance his activities here. He let contracts
in the Millions but instead of making partial pay
ments on them, he got advances from them. He
got these astute practical of affairs to supply
him with funds while claiming to be master of a
great hoard of Soviet gold.
In return they got the contracts. The Lehigh

BOSSES

To the Editor. The Washington Heeald:
I have seen them come and 60,
Holding jobs both high and low,
Sometimes monarchs, in a way,
Treating men as so much, clay
supervising all.
Never dreaming they would. fall.
I have heard them boast and swear
Paw the earth and tear their hair;
Felt their job was very large,
Just because they were in charge
Later on. they, drew their pay
In a harder, humber way. r..
! have seen them body-wrecked,
Minus friend and self-respect,
Not cent, and down and out
Deservedly, beyond a doubt
For, It's true, there's no gainsay:
Every dog must have his day"
So, IL you, today, feel great,
Stop and pause. for strange is fate.
He. today, who bears the cross,
May tomorrow be the boss,
And. IL of your self-same mind,
May retaliate in kind.
Fortune makes US what we are:
Let us not life's journey mar:
We are simply mother dust
Why not then be fair and Just?
Why not. always, without fail,
Let the Golden Rule prevail?

Lands REPLIES.

TT WAS little less than cruel in Judge Lands
i to answer as he did, the vote ofesusure of the
American Bar Association. Judge Landis,S when an
interview was asked upon this subject, said he was
too busy to prepare one. But he was not. He
was preparing his answer then and but two or
three days later, it was given to the press in the
form of his decision on the building trades labor
controversies in Chicago
This is an extra-judicial decision. 1t was
outside his official duties. II involved working
rules as well as wages, and both the contractors and
unions had agreed upon him as sole arbiter, pledg
ing to accept his dictum. Forty-four unions were
involved. II was almost wicked to hand down
this decision to start the wheels of industry and in
large measure, restore employment in the second
city of the country, just after being condemned as
unworthy to wear the judicial "ermne"
What Judge Lands did in this instance is not
one whit different from what he does for baseball
magnates. save that they pay him to do it He got
both jobs through the same confidence in his in
tegrity, courage and high sense of honor The
judge has taken care oHtwo birds with the one
misse-thc bar resolution and the building trades
tie-up.

Buildins Public Opinion.

ne hEhhl<D o. last Sunday nad an arncie
i giving review Of the citizens associations OF
Washington. their federation and something OF their
accomplishments. II is recognized that Congress
has new and much more cordial feeling toward
this District and its needs than in the past The
committees of the Senate and House giving Dis
tret matters more serious attention and study. 1t
is quite certain that this is largely due to the
tvities of these associations
There is always shade Of suspicion and of
prejudice accorded requests and insistenee which
comes from civic trade and labor organizations Ere
quently what is promoted by one more of these
arouses antagonism from Others This is true in all
cities and Congressman know it. They have found
it at home But these citizens associations include
the members of all these other distinctive bodies
They are open in membership to all residents of
their districts They represent what used to be ward
opinion, or sectional interests.
Combined they represent the opinion and in
terests OF the city and District as whole. They
provide the nearest approach possible in Washing
ton to public opinion. 1t is inevitable that not
having the vote, citizens of this District should
gradually slump in any feeling of civic response
blity. They in fact are denied this, as they it.
and so have refrained from bothering to demand i,
in another form.
But the citizens associations revive this desire
common to all Americans; they provide . means for
its expression, and operate as an agency to form
and give effect to public opinion. Congress i,
coming to realize this. The committees like to have
just such body upon which they can rely as Civ.
ing them the actual and dominant wish of the Dis
trict They like, too, to work with q people who
know what they want, intelsently and seriously
active m their own behalf and are willing take
their share of the trouble and pay their share Of the
bill OH. e.. p.
The associations individually work with the
District Commissioners to their local needs and
demands. The federated body representing them
all, devotes its attention to the affairs of the city
as a whole and appears before the Congressional
committees. The value of these organizations to
the city is limitless. They thresh out matters
among them, reach = unanimity or at least majority
opinion; investigate and eollate the facts and &C
saw; the Congressional committee great deal oi
valuable time.
They should be perfected in their membership
and attendance at meetings. Each individual asso-
ciation should have its program. The discussions
should not be dragged out nor the debate confined
to the few The professional "arguhers" should be
repressed, If not suppressed-they the bane OF
all organizations everywhere. The meetings should
be devoted to business and snappy with the occa-
sional social session. They should determine to be
what they can be, the ultimate, definite and decd-
ing opinion and voice of the District on all District
matters, including the choice of the Commissioners
