An admirer of Whistler is respon-
sible for this: The artist was once
visiting at Il house with rather com
pIicated stairway. During the course
OF the evening, after considerable
GOOD cheer with :he rest of the com
pary, Whistler started to make his
way upstairs.
Very soon there was Il loud crash

LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL

Two strong tendencies In the world
Of labor marked the year IN the United
States One was toward a reduction
Of wages, as a part Of the return to
normalcy,' and the other was toward
the establishment Of the open shop.
Naturally both were contested by or
ganlzed labor, not wholly successfully.
The railway executives took the lead
In both movements, but had many fol.
lowers. In January the national con-
ference OF state manufacturers asso-
Citations pledged support for the open
shop movement. On the last day Of
that month the railway executives
asked that the national working agree
ments be abrogated; the railroad
brotherhoOds appealed to President
Wilson TO prevent wage reductions but
he refused to interfere. By order Of
the railway labor board some Of the
working agreements were terminated
on July and wage cut averaging II
per cent was put into effect. The rail-
ways later announced they would ask
further wage cuts. The membership
Of the brotherhOods decided by vote
that strike should be called on Octo-
Der 30, but nine allied unions refused
to support such a strike, and on an
nOuncement by the board that 1t would
not consider wage cut requests until
all working rule questions had been
decided the strike order was Cancelled.
On December l the board reconstructed
the working rules so that the open
shop principle was recognized.
In the packing industry there was
wage reduction in March and strike
was narrowly averted. In September
the large packing plants installed the
shop representation system and in No
yember, under this plan, the employees
consented to further reduction of 10
per cent. The meat cutters repudiated
this and called a strike on Dec. 8.
IHefe were many minor strikes,
most Of them short lived. Samuel
Gompers was reelected president of
the American Federation of Labor
which held its convention in Denver
in June.
Great Britain's coal miners went on
strike on March l and for nearly four
months the nations industries were
near collapse. The rail and transport
workers refused to 90 out and the
government would not yield to the
demands that the mines be national
lied, so the miners returned to work
on June IS without having gained
much.

President Harding called congress
in extra session on April II and nearly
all the rest of the year it was busy
with the task of rcdeeming the pledges
of the Republican party, with what
success must be left to individual
judgment. Among the first bills passed
were emergency tariff and immigra-
tion acts; a new army bin cutting the
army down to 10000; and the budget
bill. On April 30 the senate adopted
a resolution declaring the war with
Germany and Austria at an end; on
June 13 the house adopted a reSolu-

Back to Normalcy was the slogan
of 1921, not only in America but In
all the civilized nations Of the world.
But minor wars, internal economic dis
turbances, chaotic financial conditions
in Europe, widespread unemployment,
famine in Russia and other hindrances
made progress In the right direction

States.
When the year opened the peoples
were groaning under the burden OF
taxation and depression resulting from
the World war. AS 1t drew to a close
they were still groaning but had hope
fully turned their eyes toward Wash
ington, where the representatives OF
great powers were negotiating inter-
national agreements that would elm
mate some Of the causes of war, es-
the means of making war. In the
success of this conference and of 9TH
ers that might grow out Of 1t lay for
the time being the hope of humanity.
Efforts to enforce the terms of the
treaty Of Versailles resulted in con-
fllcts among some of the new nations
created by that pact, and several of
the older nations were involved In
warfare, Germany, working fast to
recover her old DOsition In the world
Of commerce, was hampered by the
disastrous decline in the value of the
mark, and her leaders protested con-
tinualy that she could not possibly
pay the war indemnity, Peace negot-
ations between the British government
and Sim Fein were brought to sue
