Rail Strike Topic Starts
Row in Congress; Blanton
Hurls Liar at Colleague .

strike viii be one against the Govern
ment
Mr.. Burke commended that Br. Blanton
was misleading the country and was
prompted by hatred and prejudice" to
attack railroad men who have a griev-
ance and feel they have not had justice"
LAUDs EMPLOYEES
FOR PATRIOTISM
He then read a scale of wages which,
he said, was paid to railroad men to prove
that the pay scale quoted by Mr. Blan-
ton was high. He also lauded railroad
employees for their patriotism during the
war.
Later in the day Mr. Blanton, in a
fifty second speech, charged that the rail-
road men through threats of nationwide
strikes had forced one billion and one
half dollars out of former Railroad d.
rectors William G. McAdoo and Walter
D. Hines and the Railroad Labor Board
That's the kind Of patriotism they have
shown" be said
Mr.. Blanton told the House that he had
been seeking an opportunity for two days
to tell the country the truth about the
strike" but chicken-feed legisIat ton had
prevented him"
He continued; During the last few
days an announcement has been made
that cannot but be considered declara-
ton Of war against the people of the
United States. 1t is a declaration Of war
by 100000 in the country against the
other 105 100000. This order was issued
at time when there is great unrest in
the country when there are more than
1900 600 men out Of work and when peo-
pie walking the streets cannot get work
What are the plans? That October
80 every single man Of the 100000 must
report to their chiefs. Talk about in
dustrial slavery,
HAS this strike been called by men
who do not get a living wage? How
much does Warren Stone get? On the
10Th day Of last June his salary was
raised from $4,000 to s25 600 a year,
$1,000 more than Chief Justice Taft re-
ceiyes.

Highways and By-Ways
of Lii OF New York
1921, by Public Ledger Co.
: By RAYMOND CARROLL

NEW YORK, Oct 19.-The opening this
week at New York theater of another
comedy by Avery Hopwood, called 1.-The
Demi- Verge" brings the rays of the lime
light upon that former reporter of Cleve-
land who probably today Is the leading
playwright in the country. Mr.. Hopwood
blond and a bachelor, as to age is only
In the late thirries, and he lives up in
the misty eighties on Manhattan Island
He Is d mothers boy who broke all play
writing records last year when he had
four successes running at the same time
in New York theaters-"The Bat" Span
ish Love-" "The Gold Diggers" and
Ladies Night"
At the present time there are seven
companies playing The Bat" one COM
pany each In New York, Chicago and
Philadelphia, and the rest on the road
Another company shortly is to open in
London and still another in Australia
while foreign rights have been sold for
Paris and other European cities. Mr.,
Hopwood's income from 1.-THE Bat" is
tremendous. A friend who knows tells
me he is drawing down annually between
$500, 900 and $500, 900 from his plays.
A singular feature about the Hopwood
evolution In play-writing is that he was
never a dramatic critic. He covered city
hall for newspaper in Cleveland at the
same time Karl K Kitchen was on that
job for the rival morning newspaper.
The two newspapers since have been
amalgamated, and Mr.. Kitchen insists it
was Hopwood's old job that was elimi-
mated Further. Mr.. Hopwood did not
buy up a stock of old plays and study
them to see how 1t was done. He went
to the theater often and then decided
what sort of plots were lacking, and pro
ceeded to supply the need.

TWO KINDS
OF TAXICABS

Coming out of a leading New York ho-
tel, l stepped into a taxicab that had
just delivered passenger. The huge uni
formed starter triee to induce me to get
out Of the cab. Take one of these" he
savagely roared, Indicating a long line
of waiting cabs that extended for several
hundred yards up and down several
streets. Those others were all double
fare vehicles, while the one had grabbed
was a single fare taxi
You ask why there never are single
fare cabs in that long une:" remarked
the driver as we wbisked away 1.-The
answer is simple enough: because the
double-fare fellows have wrecking crew
that would stick knives IN our tires or
put men inside our cabs to cut up the
/ lining. We let them have their way at
| the big hotels, for most of the New
Workers are on to them, and never use
their cabs. Only the strangers get
stuck
In behalf Of the Strangers" who may
come to New York. I am herewith telling
Of the various breeds Of taxicabs In the
metropolis. Suppose three or more per
sons get into a single fare cab The
charge is 20 cents fHr the first quarter
of mile and 10 cents for each additional
quarter. making so cents for the first
mile and 40 cents for each additional
mile.
Now, say the same persons entered a
double fare cab. The charge is 10 cent?
for the first half mile and 10 cents for
each additional one sixth mile or 20 cents
for the first mile and Gu cents for each
additional mile The difference between
the single fare cabs and the double fare
cabs soon runs into real money.
In the greater city there are operating
1907 single-fare cabs ana 5.t1s double
fare cabs, the latter stationed at points
where they can catch the unwary, and
they are being encouraged and assisted
by uniformed starters Of many of the
leading hotels
In Chicago there Is a company that
operates 1000 cabs AT % cents for the
first half mile and 10 cents for each add
tional half mile which amounts to 30
cents for the first mile and 20 cents for
all other miles. New York Is supposed
to have police regulation OF its t eicabs
but the way 1t stands ~ the present
time the town is framed" to mulct the
visitor. How is one 10 know which cab
has the low rate? Before getting IN ask

Success" stories for unsophl icated
youths and failures are frequent enough.
Whole magazines full Of them are pub
lished every MONTH They are contained
in books They radiate efficiency. They
bore the person who has no desire what
ever to be successful salesman TO tears
Once in a great while there appears a
success story which, despite that fact
strikes one as being real literature and
which holds ones attention from begin
ming to end Such a one is a little story
by Peter b. Kyne. The story is maya
zine short story published In a little book
bv the Cosmopolitan Book Company. Its
title is THE Co Getter," and 1t carries
a subtitle, "A Story That Tells How to
Be one"
The story has TO do with that loveable
old character, Cappy Kicks. It deals with
how he determines whether an empIoye is
"go getter." The young man in Ques-
ton turns out to be real one. It's the
kind Of story that makes a fellow feel
like he could go ont and. like Alexander,
conquer the world.
Detectives and newspaper men play the
lending parts In the latest book by Eric
T.evison, Ashes Of Evidence" from the
Bobbs Merrill Company, Indianapolis.
The story has to do with the mysterious
circumstances leading up to and following
the murder Of a millionaire promoter
who is generally disllked but respected
by community which he has under his
thumb There are mysterious messag es
shadowing detectives, a burning house
and the usual clap-trap Of a story of its
type.
In the end the most lovehle and human
character in the story is found to be the
murderer One feels that it is bad end
ing. The plot seems slow in unwindlng,
seemingly impeded by a mass of details.
However, as compared with the general
run Of mystery stories, it Is fair.
